Actually, if you believe reddit comments, he may have gotten a massive wedgie for sponcon. The commenters at the time thought it was fascinating that the new Hanes Comfort men's line was sponsoring Raw the week this happened to the poor Calvin Klein wearer...

CM Punk told a story about how he when he was feuding with them, the higher ups told him "We don't care how you make Seth and Dean look, but you gotta make sure you don't make Roman look weak."

The story is even better than that.

They told Punk that he was going over, but he had to make Roman look strong. So Punk said "shouldn't the Shield win then? Won't they look bad if I win a 3 on 1 match?" and they said no, no, you're going over, but pleeeease make Roman look strong

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It's fine. A bit odd that they only put three people on there and those are the two people they put with Roman, though.

Didn't she also wrestle while impaired, leading to Arn Anderson's firing, or am I thinking of someone else?

I believe the story of Arn's firing was he got into an argument with Vince that led to his firing.

The "He let Alicia wrestle drunk" was a narrative being pushed by a certain "scoopster" (Not our Rarity!) who's no longer allowed to post here.

Ah so I'm not crazy in remembering that story only bubbling up once Arn appeared in AEW.

I'm confused, I always thought the term AAPI meant Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, the latter not necessarily needing to be American. Is that correct or am I misunderstanding?

Pretty wide definition

wikipedia posted:

The federal government defines the term AAPI to include "all people of Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander ancestry who trace their origins to the countries, states, jurisdictions and/or the diasporic communities of these geographic regions."

Now after that's sorted, let's move on.

The core of WWE's booking philosophy for the past decade has been "Roman is the most specialest boy ever", and if people can't figure that out by now, that's on them.

They're definitely just setting the bar really low for themselves so when someone boring wins the participation trophy belt the fans can celebrate it as WWE not doing the dumb thing, despite them already doing the dumb thing by creating the belt
