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?

People who were better and more exciting wrestlers than disco have moved on to civilian jobs

The dude who parlayed a punchable face into being a midcard spot filler for five years or so should not have any expectations of longevity in the business imo

I mean the bit right after that he got real close to just saying "They don't deserve me" or something of the like so I think it's pretty obviously Goldberg thinks he's too good to slum it in AEW

Guarantee he doesn’t want to gently caress up potential future paydays from the ‘e

Need to, definitely not

But Goldberg might want to get some extra paydays out of network appearances to smile and wave and such and attend some event, or speak on a retrospective, and thinks the potential of that is higher than anything AEW can or would bother offering a dude who is as washed as Billiam Goldberg

1) god drat phil sit down son 2) I cannot imagine its good, normal, or expected for airplanes to deal with 200-250 lb men to have tussling matches on them, with the state of planes nowadays its shocking a wwe plane hasn't just fallen out of the air because someone decided they were going to try and put a hammer lock on when they hit a turbulent patch

The argument used to be that the door to an airplane is being held on by the ridiculous amount of pressure differential

Being as that is apparently not as impossible to defeat, considering the Boeing door airplane, I wonder if that changes people’s attitudes vs the Brock/perfect wrestling match on the plane ride from hell

Bully Ray doesn't like it when the crowd are going hot as gently caress for a great match.

I remember the good old days when midway through the first TLC match, bubba ray decided to stop the match because the crowd was too loud and were chanting too many things and cheering too much

When bubbyer ray dudley was giving his famous promo where he talked about the mother teaching her daughter to suck dicks, he knew to stop at a certain point because if he got the crowd too riled up, they would run out of pops for the next match

Any discussion of the worst stunner ever requires the viewing of the following two contenders:

Also, yes Conrad, Eric did do what Tony is doing, but Tony has done it for longer than Eric did, and more successfully

I am still unsure what the gently caress Conrad did to deserve being so tied into so many wrestling personalities

I feel like he is essentially the same as any other rich person that they would have pumped for cash in the past but he is just savvy enough to have launched a podcast empire off of giving old desperate faded stars a regular payday

Am I missing anything with him?

It's really funny how they've latched onto the Just Another Guy thing which has been a massive complaint about WWE for many many years. Like...you can't just recycle the same complaints about a different company that functions in a different manner, it doesn't work that way!!

I have said this before and gotten razzed for it, but I really do think there is something to the weird trend of how many right wing nerds are fans of wwe and how they are applying the same tricks and routines to wrestling that is happening in politics

This is them taking an accusation towards their favored thing, like how purity balls look like they are grooming for molestation or how trump lies constantly, and taking that accusation and trying to use it against the accusers

People who disliked purity balls called it a groomer party? All lgbtq people must be groomers.

Trump is a lying liar? Nah, fake news. Everyone lies but him.

Everyone in wwe is turned into just another guy and there is no star attraction anymore? Nah, your favorite wrestler is the one who is just a guy.

I have been hearing from political nerds about the pro wrestling-ization of politics, but there is also a politicization of wrestling and most other things these days and I am not the world’s biggest fan of this trend tbh

Jim's still cookin'



I too never admit when I made a weird assumption, and therefore must die on any hill I have ever even looked at

I think that is a weird effect of social media, when something half baked that someone said offhand becomes something they get called on later, some dudes like this feel the need to never, ever let anyone think they were the slightest bit wrong

One major color is not going to become property of any one wrestler, especially not one who is still trying to get over, and thinking that is just silly

Even when Taz tries to be weird about orange, it feels like he is just being huffy over nothing. Kane wasn’t the only guy to ever wear red.
