Yeah, Punk may have rubbed people the wrong way but Vince has always appreciated someone with a strong backbone willing to push back. Same with The Shield when they straight-up vetoed jobbing to Cena and held off the breakup as long as they could.

I don't normally buy into the "IT'S A WORK" crowd, but Stephanie's feminist rant against Rollins last night, with all this today, doesn't exactly feel like a coincidence.

Remember when Alex Riley was supposed to get a big push at a Royal Rumble, but he hosed up and eliminated himself and the announcers didn't even notice for like 5 minutes while Miz was trying to put him over on commentary?

Good times.

Sounds like a great idea on paper, until they put Eva Marie in the match and everybody spontaneously crumbles to dust.

It doesn't surprise me how a lot of people are reacting, mainly because wrestling twitter fans (including myself) are fairly on the left and its amazing how fast someone can be damned forever because of a bad joke because the whole leftist ouroboros/circular firing squad.

He made a stupid, unprofessional joke and his co-workers are rightfully dunking on him, that's all there is to it. Get out of the Twitter bubble once in a while.

If I had to pin down a problem with the Women's rumble, it'd be that besides Asuka and Sasha, it didn't really push anybody in any meaningful way. The men's rumble earlier that night, in addition to putting over Nakamura, did a great job rehabbing Finn and starting Cena's "I just wanna go to Wrestlemania :qq:" story.

I guess Ember Moon looked pretty good. But it didn't really make use of a chance to give shine to a lot of different women.

I love how they spent 2 months building up a pair of new heel stables who would presumably be a big deal in the Rumble, and then they did fuckall when the match actually happened. The Riott Squad was eliminated before the Riott Squad leader even entered.

Apparently people are mad that NJPW on AXS won Best TV Show because they technically don't air TV matches, which is stupidly pedantic but whatever.

Also if his addiction issues are that bad then he has no loving business being on the road and they should've pulled him from commentary and had him in rehab months ago, but what do I expect from WWE and its handling of mental health.

I think a big thing that was at the heart of Me Too and a big point that was missed was the ask for everyone to reflect on their past experiences and ask themselves if they screwed up. As time has gone on it's just incredibly clear very few did that. Which isn't surprising but I dunno AEW was fun tonight.

The Me Too movement started about 4 years ago and it's become increasingly obvious that a lot of men never learned a goddamn thing

Do it ironically posted:

Why is it so hard for pro wrestlers to not rape or sexually assault, is it the CTE? I’ve gone over 35 years without a single sexual assault

A lot of disgusting people in this industry

It's been said before but a primary motivating factor in rape/sexual assault is asserting power, rather than the actual gratification of the act. It's no coincidence that a lot of the accused names are trainers abusing their authority and taking advantage of the most vulnerable among their classes.

Even Becky barely counts because they kept trying to turn her heel and got very very mad when fans wouldn't go along with it (you know they were mad because the announcers kept screaming about how she's a bad guy while crowds were raining down Becky chants). It wasn't until the Nia angle with the accidental blood that they finally started booking her as a face.
