Thank you WWE fans for coming here to be weird about Mercedes. It's my favorite quality about you all.

Going back in my group chat there was an episode in Dec where I said he was starting to gel but I don't know why, and definitely haven't felt that way since.

He had his moments, and had pretty excellent chemistry when he was ribbing JR, but those moments were ultimately so few and far-between that when he started posting stupid poo poo online it was so obviously time to cut bait and easily at that.

I didn’t mind him outside of the first few collisions when he was obviously unprepared and didn’t give a poo poo. Ian is also a moron for airing all of that poo poo out in a public discord. Cant wait to hear Kevin call the next battle riot.

Yes, but there are inherently different levels to the VoW Discord and just loving tweeting it out, although Ian obviously knows that anything he says on that discord is going to make it out into the wider smark bubble. Both should've shut the gently caress up but Kevin should've shut the gently caress up more.

if you're In The Business™ you probably shouldn't be chilling in a fan community period unless it's like a dead forum full of friends you've had for a while and even then you probably should be very very careful about what you post. Stay anonymous. It's basic stuff.

But there's definitely layers to the boneheadedness here. Posting in a chat "I was disappointed when Kevin Kelly, who I recommended, started pushing the weird Q Anon movie" is very different from posting on Twitter "Ian Riccabone is libeling me and holding me down" less than 24 hours before Sting's retirement match.

I try to stay anonymous when I'm posting here since I'm in the business. It's not really hard to keep it separated. Also remember to watch #AEWCollision TONIGHT 8pm eastern/7 central on @TNTdrama!!!!

His style was better in New Japan up until his last G1 were it was clear he was checked out. But he didn't quite fully adapt to US TV and seemed unwilling to learn. And while Ian probably shouldn't of posted that on Discord Kevin wasn't really demoted until much later which means it was more his work than Ian posts (except for the most recent stuff)

I do wonder why there was reportedly heat between Kevin and New Japan though. I do wonder if when he gave notice he said he wasn't going to do the G1 and New Japan was rightful upset given it was short notice

When Luchasaurus was on Big Brother he had a semi showmance with this girl, but there was a secret twist that the girl had an identical twin and throughout the game they would secretly tag each other in. The twin did not care much for Luchasaurus which lead to a confusing, awkward, and frustrating courtship for the young dinosaur.

Someone I once knew online would constantly quote this hilarious bit from Luchasuarus's Big Brother run where he randomly decided to go "no more Mr. Nice Guy" by loudly proclaiming "AUSTIN IS GONE, JUDAS IS HERE. HEEL TURN!".

Ian walked Kevin into getting himself fired after airing this in a public discord because Kevin pretty much lied and screwed him over. Not sure he's a moron.

You should absolutely publicly post about which of your coworkers are Q-Anon pilled. Especially if you want to deservedly gently caress up their reputation.

I was optimistic about Kevin joining AEW, I didn't mind any of the 4ish(?) Wrestle Kingdom shows he called that I watched. But then he was really terrible right out of the gate and then proceeded to keep sucking while Nigel got better and better. Then he got put in 3rd seat and still sucked. I hated his "Oooaaaaaahs" because it sounds like a dude who's reading a line about someone being excited instead of actually being excited.

Kevin Smelly indeed.

He used to just loving go "destinooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and hold the note as long as he could and it sounded fine, then for some loving reason he started doing some weird loving inward breathing as he did it and it sounded horrible.

I'm not going to accuse the guy of anything but typically when someone goes insane over that poo poo burning bridges and losing jobs etc it's later found out to be projection

hopefully that's not the case but he's well on track to make himself look nuts at the very least
