If attempted murder is murder and thus leads to the same result, I need as many people as possible to attempt to murder me so that I can be declared legally dead and thus get out of any future jury duties and taxes owed and speeding tickets, don't all volunteer at once.

Vader's story is he murdered you. Clean, simple, efficient. Also Vader never hung out with war criminals so he gets the nod in all respects.

Vader once blew up a boat and depending on how far out it was it may have been in international waters making Vader a global terrorist.

I’m gonna post a hot take here:

He’s a carny and a grifter. What else can he do? He is of no value to any territory, he doesn’t sell tickets, he has never been a part of an angle where he was the money drawing driving force, and no one is clamoring to see him. What else can a man who only knows how to grift and work heel do but be a dope on Twitter?

Run for office, usually.

The truest grifer gets upset over the thing they pushed for half an hour ago.

Also the win is due to Jobber and Jobber alone, everyone go and praise Jobber for being right on the internet.

Can’t wait to hear from cornette why that is different

Bill Watts was a wrestler before he owned/booked Mid-South. He then came out of reitrement and got back at the Midnights himself.

I'm not going to pretend that I know which promoters never wrestled at some point out of everyone who's existed. Vince never did but at least had his bodybuilding, Bischoff had his mall karate. I don't think any of the Crocketts did, but (as far as I know) no one assaulted them on camera.

Eric talked to Dave frequently and provided him with documents.

If you zoom in on the Observer that Hogan burns it's addressed to one Eric Bischoff.

No one actually go and check that but spread the word on Twitter so it makes Bischoff mad tia.

Apparently that guy thinks Excalibur is racist too, somehow

I bet he watched an old Chikara show or something

If someone wanted to they could bring up Excalibur's old PWG commentary every couple of years and get another round of public apologies and unpaid vacations, depending on how much outrage they could generate.

Nobody is supposed to have fun at wrestling.

You think I took you to all those WWE shows to have fun?!! Well, I didn’t hear any hooting and hollering!

i've said this before and i'll say it again, you are supposed to watch wrestling with your arms crossed and a frown on your face. when the heel wins, always by cheating, you are supposed to scoff and say "that son of a bitch is gonna get what's coming to him." when the face beats the heel, you are supposed to scoff even louder and say "that son of a bitch got what was coming to him."

any other way of watching wrestling is wrong

So I googled how much money NFL vs TKO made in 2023 and it isn't even loving close. I think some people don't understand how much a difference there is between like 1 billion to 2 billion let alone between 2 billion and 20 billion.

The NFL is the richest sports league in the world, with revenue heading toward $20 billion thanks to TV deals that average $12 billion a year. Thanks to revenue sharing across the league's 32 teams, each franchise is worth at least $3.5 billion, according to Forbes' ranking in 2023.

In addition to its Q4 and full-year 2023 earnings, TKO issued its first-ever financial guidance to investors, projecting revenue of $2.575 billion to $2.650 billion and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $1.150 billion to $1.170 billion for full-year 2024. Moreover, the company asserts that it will have an enviable rate of adjusted EBITDA to free cash flow conversion “in excess of 50%.”

Having a playoff game on Peacock was enormous for them and more than likely worth however much NBC/Comcast paid for it, even if most of us probably had to go sailing the seas in order to watch. Getting the NBA won't be nearly as close for a season as that one NFL playoff was, and that'll blow a full year of WWE out of the water.

In terms of value it's really the NFL above everyone else. NFL, big gap, college football, big gap, then we can start talking about the rest.
