WWE is going to make a full blown musical out of spite aren't they?

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Someone like Seth or Roman will make a snarky comment in an interview and then 2 weeks later Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss will have a sing-a-long Funhouse.

Yeah, it was super jarring when you originally watch it because you feel like it's going one direction and then things fall off the rails and you feel like something is very wrong. But it was wonderfully avant-garde as it went along and the things you'd originally want to criticize it for became larger trapping as a part of Jericho and MJF's character work. Like, obviously, the avant-garde is going to be a thing that receives backlash, but like you said it is pushing the medium forward in terms of methods to generate characters, stories, and audience reaction.

I also feel like even if you REALLY REALLY felt the need to explain this in kayfabe, you can. Jericho and MJF, in storyline, are both glory hounds and have huge egos. When sent to do a taped dinner together (and they would know it was taped, because in AEW the cameras are not invisible), it's not crazy to think that their characters would conspire together to do a song and dance number that would get them more attention. And it plays into MJF sucking up to Jericho and playing like they are friends.

I'm happy to just let it lie as a fever dream without explanation but we're not into magical realms of impossibility here or anything.

To which you can only say...nothing really. Just let them flap their gums as their universe burns.
(Also we probably would eat it up if the whole gimmick wasn't a year past its expiration date and the segment wasn't surrounded by manufactured misery).

WWE will have Elias do a musical number. The problem is Elias can’t play or sing well at all for someone whose gimmick is musician and singer. Vince has a bad eye for talent.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I will keep that tweet in mind to avoid buying any movies or merch that have val venis in it. Good thing that’s not really an obstacle anyone has to deal with.

NXT completely misreading how the crowd would react to that segment and having a face beat up Elias to loud boos was an early indicator of becoming a WWE show.

Drake Wuertz might be the only person in the business still close to Joey.



Edit: The screenshot doesn't pick up on it but in the see more he says "Swipe for Joey and Candice Show clips" which is what the Drake clip above is from. I'm sure she loves him still mentioning that show whenever he can.

I kinda liked Drake for awhile, despite his being a huge dumbass. Or maybe because of it? Either way my enjoyment of him has eroded to nothing over the past 6 months.

i liked him because i loved that mid 2000s - mid 2010s era of PWG but he and a couple of others have done a lot to erode that goodwill towards them.

Something about a born again Christian death match wrestler really tickled me. I don't spend a lot of time on social media, so aside from what I see in this thread, I've been fairly insulated from the creepier poo poo. I guess he always just struck me as a character rather than a fully formed person. Like a wacky neighbor on a sitcom. Whatever. He sucks.

And as far as I can tell it was true, right? IIRC, between payoffs being down and the grind, Hall has talked about wanting to do something different and take AJPW tours to prove himself, and Vince immediately shutting the idea down was one of the reasons he just went for the guaranteed WCW deal.

I stand corrected (and relieved!)

I hope he sighed when he saw it was capitalized and took a second before mustering the effort to hit the k.
