The thing is - it could have worked. Hell I did like his developing friendship with Adam especially up to All In. But his character has become stale, and as his challengers become more and more credible his usual crap about acting like they aren't on his level is just dumb. Like when he said Jay you really think you're on my level and loses his mind. That works when he's a heel and talks poo poo about Bryan Danielson but not as a face.

I honestly don't know how much more I can type about it - I am just tired of his act.

MJF as a face was entertaining when he was learning the power of friendship. Now he's a babyface that is just being a dick to people for no reason and we're supposed to cheer that?

To avoid exactly what happened last night.

You always treat things like this like it's the first time, doesn't matter if that's how it's been done for years. Maybe there's a new reporter there that doesn't know that's how it goes. What's the big deal with saying something like that beforehand?

It's not worth the risk and now Tony looks pretty dumb in talking about a serious issue while dressed completely unserious. If something had been brought up beforehand he could have said he'll address it later. For that matter that's how he should have answered it anyway.

I have to think they prep the room before Tony sits down / the scrum actually starts.

Over exposed? They've been on TV once in at least a month and haven't had any actual feuds since winning the trios belts. (A major problem with the trios belts)

About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is All Elite." The Lurker replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. Tony turned and looked straight at The Lurker. Then The Lurker remembered the word Tony had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

I'm just mad I was sick for the Phoenix show and now I'm sick for the New Orleans show.

Still plenty of tickets left for this next Phoenix show.

No seriously it's selling terribly because they booked the same week as the Phoenix Open.

Last year they opened every section. This year it's only hard cam side.

I'm very excited for a popular injury-prone WWE Superstar to come in, with their own lackey in tow, with probable expectations that they should be the biggest thing on the show because they're a former WWE Superstar, and have Tony bend over backwards for them. They even get a big specially branded debut show in their home town! There's absolutely no way this will blow up in anyone's face. There's simply no precedent for that happening.

i bought tickets to a show in montreal but didn't wind up going because it was at the same time that car blew up on the border and i didn't want the hassle. so i sold the tickets and ticket master sent me a goddamned check in canadian dollars like what am i supposed to do with this? i can't do a digital deposit and my credit union is like 250 miles away so ive got a check for $153 canadian dollars and id probably spend that in gas to deposit it.

gently caress you ticketmaster!!!

and tony, send me money thanks

Oh hey I got to deal with this last year. Ticketmaster refused to send me a check in American dollars. Ended up having to change banks to be able to deposit the check lol. (It was worth it because said bank had high-yield savings options :shrug:)
