Can't wait for 2K's inevitable Punk showcase mode where it's all matches from like 2011 and then the last level it flashes forward a decade and you have to recreate Punk showing up in the Rumble and immediately eating poo poo

Punk’s showcase is just a 4K QWOP where you attempt to complete Punk’s entrance without injury.

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.

They'll have a backstage brawl stage where Punk has to valiantly defend Larry from an onslaught of Non-Copyright Infringing Young Bucks CAWs, like the Fighting Polygon Team from Smash Bros

an elderly cm punk sits by the window of the nursing home. he don’t get many visitors, but he’d have nothing to say lately, like the voiceless of the voice, all shouting at cobwebs of the mind, worker’s rights, real glass. He turns to the nurse and moans

“what do my knuckles say?”

A question that's on my mind: if we get our collective wish and there's a total cleaning house of WWE's upper management and culture, who does TKO get to run the company?

Some non wrestling person who will run it like a proper company instead of a carny poo poo show.

I'm not trying to disparage what you're saying but there is a small sample size of what happens when wrestling companies are run by corporate suits unfamiliar with the profession and it's it's own kind of shitshow.
I mean hopefully it won't degenerate into 3 piece suit Jonestown again but it'll probably still be ugly. Possibly hilariously so.
Though with Cody's people person skills there is a non-zero percent chance he'll be put in charge of creative. The corpos won't know their asses from their elbows and he's probably the wrestling guy who is best equipped to put on the kind of bullshit smokeshow pitch they'll buy.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I think if the current crop of management were to be removed then we’d probably get some suits and pals of the Rock running things and most booking would be done by AI. Eventually they’d realize they need someone with experience to evaluate/manage talent and somehow Jeff Jarrett will get that job.

Not that it isn't fraught with its own issues, but generally the rest of media runs with creatives doing the creative part and business people doing the business part. There is obviously meddling, but wrestling is a form of scripted entertainment, no reason to think the model that works elsewhere couldn't work there. A professional boss that understands who does what best would be amazing.
