The fact that the majority if wrestlers move to florida because of super lax tax laws should be kind of a tipoff, too

Lacey's list of controversies since the start of 2023 have been pretty noteworthy, and it seems like every time she got caught in one, she was pulled off of TV immediately after.

1) Mocked a fan with Downs Syndrome, which is something even the biggest heels tend to avoid.

2) Returned to TV, just to immediately go on Instagram and talk about how processed foods cause autism.

3) Got into a fight on social media with Sgt. Slaughter and his daughter over her gimmick (which tbf Sgt. Slaughter is a piece of poo poo himself so this one is more of a wash in my eyes).

4) Went on Instagram (again) and went on a rant about how Barbie is woke garbage and how all her and her daughter needs is the great outdoors and fishing stuff. I have a feeling this one might have been the one to be the final straw for WWE, considering Mattel is one of their biggest sponsors.

I legitimate think AEW would not have done as well as it did at the start of their TV deal if it wasn't coupled with WWE being insanely extra petty. The week of Dynamite debut we knew Kofi was fighting Lesnar and probably losing. Two days after the first Dynamite you have Brock killing Kofi in under a minute.

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.

Honestly you don't even have to limit it to wwe, its almost all of wrestling. There aren't too many wrestlers out there who enjoy getting dropped on their heads weekly and are also are leftists or even centrists.

It's a wash. They don't get the dumb augmented-reality-logo bullshit TV audiences get but TV audiences also get commercials while they get people making entrances and standing around for 12 minutes until the show gets back from break so another entrance can happen

THE LIAR
Every Rollins vs. Corbin and Lacey vs. Becky match sucked, including the mixed tag, but the mixed tag had a crazy ending where Corbin hit Becky with his finisher, then pointed at Rollins and screamed WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT YOU PIECE OF poo poo and what Rollins did about it was beat Baron Corbin until he was dead. Neither guy's best match but probably their peak as characters.

PAC is apparently left enough to be pro UBI. ZSJ called Rishi Sunak a dickhead on an NJPW PPV.

Score 2 for the Brits.

You might be thinking of ZSJ, not Ospreay, though Will's politics seem to have improved over time (he was known as Billy Brexit for awhile).

Here's some relevant ZSJ merch and a promo.

Danielson also thinks Kane is one of the smartest people around so uhhhhh yeah.

And yeah, WWE is very conservative, but there are a few wrestlers who are definitely left leaning (Cora Jade and Roman Reigns have both at least spoken out against Trump at least on social media), and a lot of the office workers and executives are at least donating to democratic groups, with the largest so far this year being a $1500 donation to the democratic party by Nick Khan.

It's funny because I watched the latest WWE themed episode the other day and The New Day were dumb as hell, constantly breaking the chain, but avoiding getting voted off by the power of numbers (as each of them was participating on their own). Becky was consistently the strongest link through almost the entire game until The New Day voted her off. I think Becky only missed like one or two questions the entire time she was on.

New Day had a long argument that if Jimmy and Jey Uso were born on different days, they wouldn't be twins. I can't say I'm surprised.
