His "things couldn't have gone any worse" highlights include:

3 people who already work for WWE continuing to work for WWE

1 person who we already knew had left AEW rejoining WWE

Like, just on the most basic level, Sasha Banks returning at the Rumble would have been worse. Okada cutting a promo via video would have been worse. Vince not getting exposed as a loving monster would have been worse

Even if you just want to focus on the business side (and you shouldn't cause this is heinous) this week has not been good for WWE. The lawsuits are damning and more could be coming especially if the other NDA's end up getting lifted. TKO is in a lot of real legal trouble over this and the Cung Le lawsuit

Lmao, at this point in his life full of "allegations", it's a pretty safe bet to just believe any victim who comes forward about Vince. Where there's smoke, etc.

Please, this is all I have
Alfred is awful but that's by design, rage-bait gets clicks. I remember when he tried to suck up to Tony Khan and Tony just wasn't having it so he doubled down on the hate bait. Another time I remember was when he was trying to claim racism and a bunch of other black podcasters and twitter personalities came out to say no, you're just insufferable

This is the funniest part because he doesn't actually get clicks. Nobody ever shares his articles, his tweets get scant engagement outside of people dunking on him, his YouTube videos barely crack 1K views. He's a complete nobody.

Sold your soul for a cheeseboard and all you got out of it was some crappy cheese.

The observation has already been made that these dudes take a lot of inspiration from right-wing influencers, but a lot of them don't seem to realize that there's a greater purpose to generating rage-clicks. Maybe you're collecting dark money or maybe you're directing traffic to a media outlet, but there's some kind of monetization scheme for political grifters. The wrestling dudes treat getting called a freak by thousands hundreds of people like it's the finish line and not just a means to an end.
