Remember that Michael Elgin Facebook post that someone said was basically Indies Wrestler but not joking? Well...

He's talking about "Angry Wrestling Vet", a Facebook account.

During the PPV, Matt Striker kept tweeting about how he totally agrees with Jack Swagger's ideals. Not in a heel way, either. It was kind of off-putting.

Matt Striker ‏@Matt_Striker_
Jack Swagger...Illuminati...New World Order....population control ...Martial Law ...FreeMasons ...all good for you.

Matt Striker ‏@Matt_Striker_
Most people don't deserve rights n need ppl like Swagger/Coulter to tell them what's good for them. #InternmentCamps #MartialLaw

I have a feeling he was trolling.

I dunno I'm willing to believe Striker's a straight up goober.

He's probably doing everything he can to move up in the company after they soured on him.

Dude listens to The Smiths. I have never met someone who listens to The Smiths and was Right Wing/Libertarian.

Why did they sour on him? What'd he do?

Made too many geek references and would argue with Michael Cole. He seemed to be developing into the permanent PPV third and then they just dropped him from Smackdown.

He's still well respected since he's the guy who evaluates promos for tryouts.

This pissed me off so loving much. Michael Cole and Lawler would both start literal pissing matches with him because he would correct them when they called spots in the ring and actually bother to put over the guys in the ring instead of plugging inane bullshit. They just wouldn't shut the gently caress up and let him do the thing all 3 of them were supposedly getting paid to do.

Sadly this is common in pro wrestling.

There's this video of Tony Schiavonie calling a move a "Mafia Kick" only for Heenan and Rhodes to go off on how stupid it was to call a move correctly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMvF_6c5wiY

A few years later, Tony gets to be the bully on Mike Tenay while Heenan again joins in laughing at "wrestling knowledge" because Tenay knew Lucha move names but I can't find that one on YouTube.

It's actually The Magen Boys who run it. It's kind of a pathetic situation: http://100worstpeopleontwitter.tumblr.com/post/31458834871/32-the-iron-sheik

It's certainly a nice gig for her, but I'm really wondering the the gently caress they bothered hiring SDR to train models to work 2 1/2 minute matches ending in a rollup.

Well we can't have SDR training good wrestlers, can we?

Curious on what someone is going to say is better than getting angry that someone hasn't said something fast enough for you.

The fact that Miz's favorite comedian is Dane Cook was the last straw in making me remove myself from the Miz as much as possible.

I was at a wrestling show in Toronto where some drunk got knocked out by Necro Butcher.

That was fun.
