Oh wow crazy, the Rock has a series of movies that receive pretty strong backlash and discontent from the fanbases and all of a sudden he has time for wrestling again, huh?

How about that

Don’t forget he executive produced a bunch of the flops and burned a bunch of bridges with WBD execs (the ones that are still left)

And had to crawl on his hands and knees to Vin

The brightest side is I saw absolutely all of it coming, and somehow the funniest part of it is still Cody getting screwed over again :rubby: What a tremendous year (since Oct 21 2022 on) it's been

And Vin took him back because he's the bigger man and it's all about family. Love to see it.

But what a turn around from big leaguing Vin when he asked him to come back for the last one.

idk if Cody signed a 3 year contract but if he did he's going to hit the end of his contract without winning the championship that they definitely promised he would win lmao

maybe they'll give him the ole "we'll make you champ if you re-sign another contract".





folks, the marks are in the ring.

Just remembered they made up a new “we’re not gonna take the belt off Roman” consolation world title but they didn’t give that to Cody either lol

Don't worry, his live-action Moana remake is gonna take off and he is suddenly going to be very busy again. The guy they slot in for him? His name is Not Cody!

I just watched/listened to that whole thing again despite having seen it a few dozen times because I love it a whole loving lot; many of those times I've seen it with my sons who love it just as much, possibly because they sense how much I love it. I am still incredibly wary of the live-action remake because I don't trust The Rock to bring that kind of fun and energy again and if he fucks it up it will probably make my sons at least a little sad...

But I still want him to do it if it means Cody gets suckered again.

Probably Cameron Grimes, he finally figured out character work and WWE proceeded to not do anything with him.

News from inside the purge: A Goon exclusive

4 out of 73 people in the marketing department were let go. My sister was not one of them. Some other departments were completely wiped out but I do not know which ones. Virtually all of the VPs at the Towers (TKO Towers now?) were sent packing.

Assuming most of you know basic arithmetic, please don’t make the obvious joke. People lost their jobs today. The Internet makes us stupid but not THAT stupid.

See, normally if you merge with another company, you got a 50/50 chance of retention. But I'm Endeavour and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at staying onboard. And you add WWE to the mix, your chances of employment DRASTIC go down!

turn it all around

Is it interesting that they decided to wipe out the existing WWE VPs and not the UFC ones? I’d kind of think there’d be a mix of people let go in those roles from each side.

Or maybe they have, I haven’t followed any of this news outside of this thread.

They can call it a "merger" all they want, but Endeavor?UFC "bought" WWE. It's going to be WWE jobs they cut.


Same poo poo happened at my last job; we "merged" with another company, but all of our facilities were closed and people laid off.
