Sorry but there is a bit of a difference between The Observer and something like this that doesn't cite a reputable source or has been reported elsewhere:

the first world was a mistake

I'd love to see them put Steen on Tough Enough as a ringer and have them try to pull the poo poo they did with Andy on Raw after announcing him as the winner. Only Steen sees through it and assaults the holy hell out of Austin and Vince.

It would never happen, sure, but it'd be a hell of an angle if done right.

Yea I don't have a problem saying 'there's some sources that, while not perfect, take their sources seriously and tend to not, at the very least, deliberately spread bullshit, and there's some that want clicks and they'll say whatever rumor they hear'.

And I legit like bo Dallas a lot. He is at the very least competent in the ring, and he has a great gimmick.

He had a great gimmick. WWE is pushing the "motivational speaker" part too much. That isn't what made his gimmick so good in NXT. They also gave him a real shutty theme.

It's not that I have an issue with. It's rovert consistently getting angry about people "misusing" the word dirtsheet.

Not angry at all. It is just annoying to use "the dirtsheets" as a reference. As I then have to look it up to see if PWInsider, Observer, Torch reported it then after that I have to find the newzsite that actually reported it. Even if you consider newzsites dirtsheets only one newzsite reported it so using the plural is silly anyway as you are claiming something is more widely reported than it is.

On this story in particular I am heavily invested in Steen as a fan so it was even more annoying.

His theme is fantastic are you kidding me? I think what his entrance needs is a giant eagle screech, and like a morning fog to come through the arena.

There's a browser plugin/extension called Ponify that changes any word to another word in its settings, so if you really wanted you could change "Bo Dallas" to a single space or filter it out entirely.

It's really good that you know what a browser extension called "Ponify" does, dude.

So not sure if this was lost in the Bo chat or just never mentioned, but Cesaro vs. Sheamus for the US Title has been confirmed for Payback. A match I want to see again, but feel it does nothing for either guy coming out of it.

Plus Sheamus is going to get the poo poo booed out of him sadly even though he'll put up a great match with Cesaro
