Do the people pushing the “This is great for Saudi women to see” narrative think that Saudi women just haven’t been sufficiently inspired to demand better treatment?

Complaining about people "taking their ball and going home" will always be stupid as gently caress. These people realize you're allowed to leave a job if you're not happy right? You don't owe your employer poo poo.

No one ever uses the phrase right in the context of wrestling anyway. The thing that sucks about “taking your ball and going home” is that now no one else can play because you got pissy, which has never been the case in when someone decides to tell WWE to gently caress off.

Pretty telling that that’s in response to a match featuring a debuting North American wrestler (who I wouldn’t be surprised to see going over).

Edit: Non-surprise what a mess the mentions are for that announcement.

Generally speaking, I think wrestling fans could be more generous with their “let’s see where this going” threshold, but that’s a pretty absurd argument in this particular case.

One of the funniest bits about this has been people having meltdowns that something that hadn’t been teased even remotely never happened. Basically some people hyperanalysed Liz Morgan’s weird twitter stuff when she was clearly just having a little fun into thinking that it was this massive build to her aligning with THE FIEND and so when they did this you had a fair few people genuinely angry that their fan theory didn’t happen. So they seem to have pleased, well, nearly no one.

Countdown to the same thing happening if Marty shows up in AEW and isn’t really behind the Dark Order or Butcher/Blade/Bunny are new Villain Enterprises.

For whatever reason striking is not something I apparently pay close attention to, because I’ve never clocked that particular complaint about Riho watching her matches. If anything, I like how it looks like she’s putting her entire body weight behind her knees and stomps.

No, he’s right. If it came out that Cody did in fact do a double murder, at first I would be troubled, but then I would say “But it’s Cody” and go about my day.

I like how he jumped from "AEW fan did a graffiti" to "BUT WHAT IF CODY MURDERED SOMEONE", as though that was a natural and logical progression to make.

He even skipped “murdered someone“ and went straight to 2 to an unknowable number of victims.

Not just that, he's also completely ignorant of the history behind a wrestler getting a spike in the eye on a Turner network. (To the point that Tony Khan ran the idea past TNT before they went with it!)

Just looked this up and of course it was a Dusty angle, and I’m pretty sure Tony repeated some of his commentary verbatim (I am assuming the Tony announcing NWA Worldwide back in 88 was Schiavone.).

Isnt it one of TNT's best rating shows and an absolute bargain for cost vs reward?

TNT’s annual cost on Dynamite is comparable to the budget on a 10 episode season of one of their dramas (Claws season 2 had a budget of $48 million, they’re paying AEW $45 million a year for weekly content).
