No more posting about posters. No more drowning the WWE thread in shitposts. No more being a loving dickhead to people because they like a company that sucks. Nothing positive is going to come out of any of this continuing. If this thread becomes the same four people talking to each other about the WWE they watched this week, at this point, that's actually preferable to the poo poo you fuckers have been posting every day, which has gotten so beyond the pale bad that mods and admins from other forums altogether have been wondering what the gently caress.

Would've been useful to get some examples of this posting that is so awful that people are coming to spectate it from exotic foreign forums, because I don't remember seeing anything that terrible ITT. But maybe I just have the relevant people on ignore or something? Or maybe I'm just blind to it, but in any case I am confused by what specifically this refers to and what we specifically shouldn't say about the WWE anymore.

In general I'm not sure this policy is going to work terribly well unless there's some kind of safe haven thread for people to talk about the WWE in where nothing negative is allowed, because the WWE sucks poo poo both as a monstrously evil company and as a wrestling promotion that's supposed to put on good wrestling, and I think most people here agree with that, so there's gonna be pushback and dunking on their terrible poo poo. And inevitably also on the people who just want to cheer them on.

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.

I think it's poo poo on the product as much as we want, and do, and poo poo on the people in the company, but making GBS threads on other posters and helldumping to the point of hoping they all leave the forum forever and are to be treated like garbage is the line which was crossed.

Yeah that makes sense. Anyone trying to smooth over this poo poo should expect some pushback just like anyone posting support for Harvey Weinstein in Cinema Discusso should have, but helldumping people and trying to run them out of the forums is lame as hell.

I like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and I want the People’s Champion to become the WWE Champion at Wrestlemania while standing over Cody’s body, making GBS threads on Dusty Rhodes and burying the ring in rubber chickens. Even if this happens, I still wouldn’t watch WWE but I’d read this thread and post IF YA SMELLLLLALALLAOWWW

activity is shooting up because it's the road to wrestlemania and once some list of superstars get their WrestlemaniaTM moment, activity will dwindle as wwe has another bad post-wrestlemania/summer of writing checks their rear end can't cash

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Selling out to TKO brings us closer to WWE being able to die though. While the McMahons had it in their clutches they would have never let it go. Now all it will take is a few bad quarters someday and someone wanting to cut bait and do stock buy backs or something. Some random executive can just decide to shut it all down to boost stock, they will have no personal connection to it or qualms killing it.

Aew actually held the rights to a bunch of ppv names that wwe let lapse (big ones being Bash At The Beach, SuperBrawl, Slamboree, BattleBowl, Bunkhouse Stampede, and WrestleWar) through Cody and he traded them all back to wwe in exchange for his last name back. Bash at the Beach was the only one that got used, tho WrestleWar was scheduled for 2020 in new orleans as a special Dynamite before covid hit. I believe but don't know for sure that AEW still holds the WrestleWar trademark.

A school festival is a festival that takes place at our school!
Looking over the announced card for Mania, I would imagine there will at least be a few matches each night that will be fun to watch.

Matches that look like they could be good:
Gunther v Sami Zayn
Clusterfuck tag title ladder match
Iyo Sky v Bayley
Rhea Riplye v Becky Lynch
then a triple threat with Owens v Orton v Logan Paul will probably have a few fun big spots

That leaves like 4 matches that will be Bloodline poo poo with the tag match, both world titles and the Usos match.

Then Styles v LA Knight lol
