Kelly Klein is cool as hell and ROH nor WWE deserve her. I'm still waiting for the day she stops wrestling like a WWE woman and just starts stan hansening some bitches.

I mean it's a nice thing from the talent perspective but WWE can do all the equal rights photo shoots they want and it still doesn't change the deals they've been making lately and it all comes off as so disingenuous

Exactly why I didn't post the Finn one

I trust Vic because he has out family, I trust Sonya because she's out herself, and I trust Miz because he's been vocal about this since even before his WWE days

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I have no doubt some individuals in WWE mean what they're saying. But the fact that its all one corporate photoshoot does kind of take the teeth out of it. WWE spends an afternoon having a dozen talents pose for a pr campaign while continuing to take money from the government that beheads people for being gay and giving money to the government that strips away LGBTQ rights.

I'm critical of Dana Warrior specifically because of all her own history. The rest are just about WWE, not them.

those tweets probably help some really young people who don't really get how lovely wwe is yet. and make some people mad. and those people who get mad deserve to be spittin' mad instead of happy, for certain. that's about all the good i can thank of. perhaps corps trying to appeal to lgbt people and "allies" is a good sign in some way, as gross and pathetic as the corps themselves are

well, would it be better if they were honest and asked talent to make tweets about hatred and greed. all the good people in wwe would possibly breach contracts or band together and demand real changes instead of getting to sit around pretending they are doing good things. i don't know.

One of the worst parts about WWE being the absolute pieces of poo poo they are is that they can make us all look at such a positive message and immediately distrust it.

I like to think of it as a lesson that messages don't matter if you can't back it up with your actions.

Is there a silver lining in that they’re at least pushing the not-lovely version of corporate PR in this case? They’re dumbass Republicans who obviously don’t give a gently caress about the fans so I’m honestly shocked we never see build the wall or keep trans people out of the army stuff

Give Vince time, he has enough Saudi blood money right now to fall back on before the XFL "our players DON'T KNEEL before Zod for the anthem" fails again, and he has to appeal to whatever regressive elements of WWE's audience are still watching.

If you don't I highly recommend listening to the show he does with Bryan every week. It is effectively Lance giving his opinions on the biggest happenings of the week. I don't always agree with his opinions but he always goes into his thinking behind it and it is always sound. He always has great stories as well.

Lance has a great super dry sense of humor and seems to be an all around great guy. I can understand why people love to get trained by him.

yeah, the lance shows are great. it's a fun balance of interesting insight from lance, bits of lance being weird robot lance, and hilariously stupid arguments about minutiae.
