I kinda like her theme. It's like bad video game music played in reverse. It's not good in any real way but it's incredibly memorable and I like it?

Remember last summer during his open challenge run when everyone was convinced Cody was about to turn heel for about 3 months straight? :allears:

Which was all to build to a promo where he declared he wasn't turning heel and was staying a face and acknowledged that the audience wanted it. But, denying the audience a thing they want and acknowledging it is a heel move. That promo was his heel turn, sorry Rarity.

I guess I don't quite understand this "muh freedums! :qq:" mentality, because it's just so alien to us Kiwis. We just started a week-long lockdown here in Auckland because there was a community outbreak, and when I popped into school to collect some poo poo I'll need, the roads were deserted.

One of the major beliefs of a lot of Americans is "Rules for thee and not for me" so they have to throw a fit about rules even if they're obviously designed to protect them.

It's a cult. WWE can not fail they can only be failed. If you're not getting opportunities it's your fault. It doesn't matter what it is. Not getting a spot? Don't call in sick. You stopped calling in sick? Don't take vacation time. You're here every day when we tell you to be? Not good enough, anticipate the cults needs.

There is no level of sacrifice high enough because it's very obvious that's not actually how you get your spot or opportunity. But the longer you spend in that environment the harder it becomes to see. The more work you put in for whatever you were promised the harder it is to admit to yourself that you're being lied to and there is no output for what you've done. All you can do is cut loses and that's hard to accept.

I'll just say that if Lana was truly happy being in WWE she wouldn't have posted that video

Yeah. I think you can debate on how bought into she is, how much she believes and how much is coerced, but she's obviously not happy. You don't make videos and statements like that if you're happy. It's just as much a callout to other people as it's a dressing down of herself.

The thing about New Super Bloopers and the like is that in general they're treated as funny things you can laugh at, not "Ted Danson that loving hack, messed up his line on The Good Place five times, who told this doofus he can be on a sitcom??" or pulling out a string of 'botches' to 'prove' that Paul Pierce has no business being in the NBA, much less the Hall of Fame.

Yeah, I'm not saying the clip isn't funny. It's incredibly funny. And it's also funny to see people who think it's an actual problem or that they should of edited it out. If anything I think I'd get mad if they got into the habit of constantly editing out sloppy spots. Wrestling is improvisational, the bad spots are a part of the art form.

I’m surprised his relationship with Charlotte hasn’t protected him more to be honest. I would assume she’s got a lot of pull backstage but I guess nobody does these days.

I don't think anyone does because it's not real leverage. The people who have pull in WWE seem to just be the folks Vince likes or have ideas he likes. But they've worked hard to make the brand the product and not have to depend on performers for revenue. No one is a cash cow to WWE, there is no one who can walk away and impact the business poorly in their eyes.

Yeah, it's this. Abadon is saying you should be successful and suffocate the people holding their breath hoping you will fail. Dave then plays on that by making a joke that the people who are waiting on others to fail are making themselves stupid on the hate. Or that they're suffocating so bad they're oxygen deprived.

I imagine it would be difficult to run a profitable Mania with diminished crowd capacity unless they are managing to lower production costs against quartered ticket revenue.

They should be paying their wrestlers more anyway, bonuses are a anti worker ruse most of them when compared to fair wages and benefits.

They could afford to run it at an enormous loss if a mania is so important to them. They don't need mania to be profitable.
