I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF

I know I've harped on about this before, but is there a stated agenda for modern NXT? Like I know when it was good it was supposed to have been a super indie where people could strut before being comically mangled by the main roster creative process, but is it now just... a wrestling show put on by a mixture of their greenest talent?

My brain has trouble grasping the point. It'd be like if you had a show that consisted of rookie writers getting their first drafts filmed. Or is the idea here that it's a developmental league in the same sense that non-major league sports will sometimes get airtime? But those sort of things tend to air on the more grognard-y channels of local TV and sports networks, not national cable.

It's whatever they need to say it is for USA network to give them money.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Dangoor and Ryan Satin are gonna be the only people invited to WWE press conferences, and every question is just going to be "Wow, how is everything so great?"

I would bet on Heyman dropping the line: "The only reason you're champion is because Roman Reigns didn't want to work Mondays/Fridays (choose the appropriate one)" to the holder of the new, lesser world title, probably during the build to Survivor Series.

Been going through 2002 at the moment and lance storm and the unamericans were cutting some spicy promos and iirc came out during the one year anniversary raw to make fun of everyone being sad which was like drat alright. One of promos was along the lines of 'this cowardly nation of losers got what was coming to it, and it was only a fraction as bad as what we're gonna do to idk billy and chuck here tonight!!'

So what im saying is let's not take using 9/11 as a means of getting heat completely off the table

I think the former writers going "Yeah I tried but Vince overruled all my poo poo" and the current writer who is very clearly on the same creative wavelength (and personality wavelength) as Vince are probably different parties.

Can't believe hiring a bunch of lovely failed comedy writers leads to a writing team putting out the most grotesque, lazy & lowest-common-denominator poo poo possible. A loving Crocodile Dundee gimmick. 35 years too late.
