Dumb fuckin storyline

I've sadly watched this all unfold and I understand nothing about this angle.

Between WWE holding a press conference that left everyone baffled about the main event of Mania and Joe Biden having a disastrous presser trying to refute that he's senile this has been a terrible, albeit hilarious, day for the art of communication.

Ehh, I understand the anger in this instance. There's an active, ongoing scandal and the WWE is absolutely using this to bury that news; I can get keeping those two things together in your head.

I didn't think this needed to be said, but let's not poo poo on people over it or assign culpability for international conglomerates covering up sex crimes to people on a dying web forum laughing about Cody Rhodes, though.

Nah gently caress that, laugh at Cody all y'all want, it's funny, but also, don't get mad if you get reminded that this company still has people who covered up and have been involved in rape and sex trafficking. There is a thread about it sure, but it is what WWE is at is core. Especially if you're dumb enough to watch this poo poo, you should know who you're supporting.

Sydney Bottocks

It's always been naive at best to expect every single goon to quit watching, following, or commenting on WWE programming in disgust whenever some truly horrible news comes out of that company.

I haven't watched WWE in years and I have no plans to change that anytime soon. It's a poo poo company that I hope burns to the ground, and I hope that Vince's scandals eventually lead to prison time and bankruptcy for him and the undoubtedly large number of other people that were involved with his crimes. But I can also laugh when I read about how the current clowns who are running things are making some stupendously bad creative decisions.

Best ironic Av/Post combo.

Like I wanna feel bad for Seth.......but that involves trying hard.........and this loving company is the drizzling shits and can't just come out and admit that WWE has harbored a culture that has straight up covered up murders, sexual assaults, harassment, exploitation of a dying kid to make a charity, encouraging talent to take roids to the point of death or near death.

Let the non creative entity known as Dwayne turn the company into his own vanity project for his no eyebrows until Hollywood forgives/forgets why he's not a draw anymore again.

Dumb fuckin storyline

It's dumb, but what I THINK they are going to say is that Cody hadn't actually made up his mind when he let Rock take over on that Smackdown (even though he literally said "I'll get you Roman, just not at Wrestlemania", FORGET THAT WWE UNIVERSE) and had just reached out to him to get some advice from a legend, in the presser Cody says to Rock "I talked to a lot of people", I think maybe trying to imply he was just getting input and hadn't decided yet, even though he literally said he wasn't getting Roman at mania.

Roman and Rock being heels (now confirmed for Dwayne I guess? That nonsense in Vegas made him pretty heel, saying "we do what we want!" to Rollins at the end) took that as confirmation Cody was going for Seth and they could have their family match, thinking that (in kayfabe and reality?) that Roman can just do what he wants and Rock the same, only to be disabused of that notion at the press conference when Cody says "I choose you Roman!" and then, maybe?, finding out that, yes, as the rumble winner Cody can choose his opponent.

It's dumb and it's because they wrote themselves into a hole, but it's what they got :shrug:.

If you want real bad writing, consider Seth. Not the poo poo about him being #2 and at the losers table, but he begged Cody to choose him and leave the "hollywood" belt for the phonies. If Rock/Roman is on, shouldn't Seth be happy? He wanted Cody to pick him and that's what looks like what's happening, so why is he at the press conference interjecting asking how Roman can just decide to face Rock? Seth wants that match to happen! But he's a babyface, and Rock/Roman are heels so what they want is bad, even though it is 100% what Seth wanted.

Dumb company run by rapists and people who cover for rapists op.

Total fuckin' silence.
I feel like the amount of people on this forum who legitimately follow/engage with/contribute to WWE has to be in the low double figures at best. There's not really much else I personally can say about the company being completely rotten that I've not already said - I can just follow the news as it comes out and hope the victims get some kind of positive result. In the meantime, people can try to get by with jokes and mockery of said terrible company. Being human can be pretty unbearable during times of tragedy (ie almost all of the time) so I think a little harmless respite is understandable.
