A Fancy Hat posted:This is why WWE will never go out of business. Dude seems legitimately pissed off about how he was treated, then mentions he's already got tickets to multiple shows coming up. They'll just get Cody to sign another table for him and he'll be happy. Well what's his recourse in that case? I guess he could sell the other tickets on Stubhub or whatever, but he (rightfully) doesn't even seem happy about the table he got, given to him begrudgingly when Cody wanted to give it to a kid, so I doubt he'll be happy with 3 more if they do this again.

The reason you can tell Vince is powerless is that they relocated the front row ogre (front rowgre) instead of signing him to face hulk hogan

Why does he need to stand up to take pictures if he's in the front row and probably still pretty tall sitting down

IIRC The Egg eventually gets stolen from Vince by Austin Theory? Also, still funny as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HOfRdq6QBs edit: He even showed it off to The Tribal Chief! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvrCNlvdsk0

My favorite part of the egg storyline is that you never see Vince leave that room but the egg somehow gets stolen while he's in there. You've got one scene where he's all, look at this egg I have, like it or I'll fire you. And in the very next one, wait where's the egg. Also, Red Notice was perfectly adequate entertainment to have on in the background while I cleaned the kitchen.

To be unfairly charitable to the ringside seats guy he probably already bought the next show’s tickets before this all happened and if I’d spent silly amounts of money on show tickets I’d probably still go too since reselling them just seems like a chore

He's probably got enough money if he can blow it on upcoming shows. They should stick him on the side with the hard cam and tell him to keep his loving head down.

It was the most gripping, intense segment on Raw in nearly a decade. Punk was at his absolute best on the microphone, and Rhodes–who started slowly but built momentum–showed range on the mic that he has never before displayed.

He's been plenty willing to take shots at WWE even since they've supposedly gotten way better. If he liked the Punk/Cody thing I'm sure it was probably at least decent.

It was a neat promo but the real upside of it is we have the possibility of a world where punk has come in and threatened to do to Cody what the rock did to him and then actually the rock shows up again and does it to both of them, which is the funniest possible thing in wrestling so far this year

as a cody fan and former punk fan it stunk. they’re going through the motions and trying to rehash / reference things that had actual heat, and outside of a couple big events per year the wwe crowds are absolutely dead and both those guys thrive on feeding on crowd energy. no passion!

I thought the promo was fine overall but it took a while to get going and was too long. It needed more fire from Cody instead of him trying to play cool. I guess that's his character though.
