I think Viking Guy is at fault for stumbling back instead of stepping forward into position, though that doesn't explain why Braun ate poo poo on his way out of the ring

Ricochet should be doing the work there, but Braun tried to literally throw him instead.

It would be extremely HHH to say “sure let me clear it with the big guy” and then tell Vince to tell someone to get Punk out of there so he can both get him out and say “sorry, wasn’t my call”

I'm pretty sure the bringing people back into the office thing is to get them to quit so they have less firing to do, right?

Yep, it’s a soft layoff. They’re trying to get the numbers down to decrease severance payouts and negative press.

I bet it would be cheaper in the long run to just give their wrestlers health insurance instead of paying for procedures outright.

If they did that, the talent would have even more of a case in a lawsuit against being contractors and any other non-wrestler contractor they have would have a discrimination case if they weren’t also offered health insurance.

For the longest time, I thought Outkick was a pro-LGBT outlet and I was always shocked when I saw something awful coming out of it instead.

I think I was confusing it with some other outlet that started with Out.

Out Sports is probably what you're thinking of.

Outkick is Sports For Racists.

Logan Paul is going to win MITB and then beat Seth Rollins for the title at Summerslam and then disappear with the belt until like January. This is WWE, so the dumbest thing possible would be to create a new belt since Roman has the other one all tied up, then almost immediately put it on a guy who will also tie it up, just to set up a big Wrestlemania match between Roman and Logan Paul where Roman ends up with all three belts.

Based on how the cuts went around the pandemic, I've kind of had this gut feeling that one or both of KO/Sami could be on the block if they have to cut significant costs. Fairly recent new contracts, absurd amounts from what we've heard, Sami kind of feels like he's peaked in WWE in terms of overness. And if you're looking at the high salary guys, I feel like Vince would have the least attachment to them. They feel right in the Braun/Bray surprise cut wheelhouse.

Jade loving rules and on paper she should be perfect in WWE, but it's inevitable that Dunn or Hayes complains to Vince that she's too muscular and then the wheels fall off entirely. And she seems 100% like someone who Charlotte would politic against backstage. I hope she gets the booking she deserves but everything about the internal workings of WWE when Vince is involved makes me think this is going to fall very hard eventually.

Bianca is black and jacked and she beat Becky clean for the women's title and held it a long time. I read that her reign wasn't considered great and I will never argue against Vince's racism or sexism but there's at least a precedent now

My biggest concern for Jade is that she'll just be treated like Bianca 2

Has a pretty good run with Vince gone, drops the belt a little while after he gets heavily involved in tv again. Wins the belt again only to drop it on a cash in 90 seconds later. Takes extended leave of absence.

I mean, it could be a coincidence. Or it could be usual Vince bullshit.

WWE loves to gently caress with people. Especially people of color. They get off on making people do dumb poo poo just to prove they have power.

Jade is an incredibly strong black woman whose partner made over $100 mil playing baseball. She doesn’t have to take even the smallest amount of poo poo and she’s in a company that loves giving tons of poo poo just because it can.

I really hope it works out but I have like 2% reason to think it will.

Also, the worst thing you can do if you’re a WWE talent who wants to do movies is say that you want to do movies because now they won’t let you do poo poo and they’ll bury you because they’re afraid you’ll pull a Rock/Cena.

Yeah I’ve only seen bits and pieces but the story seems to explicitly be that no one trusts or likes Jey because of all he did with the Bloodline. Sammy and Cody are just the guys who have been willing to forgive and give him a second chance.


Which will end with him costing Cody against Roman at mania because WWE
