And right before the years end, we get one of the stupidest posts I've ever seen for 2015. God bless you BCB.

Eh, no, not really.

I mean, that list of "big names who aren't working directly for WWE right now or are 100% retired" is basically the same list I'm sure they've written on a whiteboard in TNA as people they WANT to have. And all the indy names would actually make sense. The only question is, does TNA have the money to pay any of those people who aren't already in TNA?

Pop is probably open to TNA doing a 24-hour special Impact. Pop probably doesn't give a gently caress because it's the TV Guide channel.

After looking into that a little, it was the whole “wcw 2021 relaunch” thing that popped up a few years back, that nobody could ever figure out wtf before WWE hit it with DMCA and copywrite notices.

These guys are really fixated on the viewership numbers for the debut episode as some kind of own on AEW, but for pretty much every TV show the highest rated episodes are debuts and finales.

I wonder if this might result in the aew representative being a shocking result instead of mox, it winds up being adam cole or even adam page

There's so many ways it can go from here, from MJF or Wardlow or Danielson or just going with Mox, or even having it be someone surprising stepping up, like Lance Archer, Keith Lee, Ricky Starks, Christian, Fenix, Penta...

I kinda hope it's not Danielson and maybe we get a rematch at forbidden door

I too enjoy things the most when i have been told they made someone a lot of money

Yeah, the barometer for success of wrestling is money, if you’re a promoter, but my barometer of success is “did i enjoy watching it”

I realize that talking about this is fairly laughable but the sheer number of firstnameBunchofnumbers usernames who signed up to/appeared on Twitter in the past two or three years is really large, and they make me think more and more that either Joe Sixpack is making his Twitter account by just taking their suggestion, or there is an enormous amount of bots on Twitter these days, being paid to try to influence public discourse.

In December of 2017, the new Twitter accounts signup process stopped asking you what you wanted your user name to be. You can still change it but you have to go looking. Here’s a walkthrough of the change.

There are a lot of bots on Twitter but that username pattern isn’t a great sign that an account is a bot, because you were right — Joe Sixpack doesn’t even know how to reject their suggestion.

I will say that it may not be a great sign they’re a bot, but it is a good sign they will have incredibly lovely opinions

He said he HATED his time there. He was hired specifically to come up with new podcast and web show ideas, and then literally zero of his ideas ever went beyond landing on Vince's desk and getting immediately rejected. And some of them sounded like can't miss pure gold hits. Meanwhile the higher ups kept making deals with complete morons who came to Dan with ideas like "hey our research shows that colour runs are popular with the New Day's demographics, so maybe the New Day guys could do a colour run and stream themselves doing it and interact with the audience to drive engagement", and everyone was completely baffled because the ideas didn't make a loving bit of sense and were just some marketing bros slapping together buzzwords they heard somewhere.

Towards the end of his time there they weren't even recording new episodes of existing podcasts because the WWE didn't care and were just happy running reruns and best of episodes to fulfill contractual obligations with advertisers.

This all tracks perfectly, yes

f) Kenny Olivier is apparently Jim Cornette's stupid name for Omega, because being compared to Laurence Olivier is apparently a huge burn? There's nothing about being a wrestler that involves acting of course. Seems like this person's Twitter is suspended too, so maybe he's just not good at keeping his content from getting deplatformed for... some reason.

Laurence Olivier was an actor and actors are gay. Kenny is gay and is bad. Therefore, the gay man is like an actor because reasons.

Cornette’s logic is infallible, don’t try to argue with it.
