Probably. Still better than the Devil angle payoff though.

Big false. Logical stories are cooler than doing the same lame bullcrap over and over. Plus you wouldn’t know, not watching the shows and all. wink

Lol Slim Jim dropping sponsorship until something’s done about Vince. Ya love to see it.

Triple H and Stephanie were also leading the charge into the 2022 investigation but coincidentally never reached out the victim in question. They have to face some ramifications for that too, I’d think.

Man, of all the theme music these Def Rebel jabronis have farted out over the past few years, Carlito's has got to be among the worst. Big mistake to let the CFO$ guys go, they've made the ones fans like singing along to.

Funny how you say no one reached out to her, but someone who was on the WWE board said they did. I’ll trust the one who was there. Look up the guy Jeff Speed. He was on the board.

You like what you like. I like what I like. I don’t need to watch AEW because their YouTube clips are more than enough, if I want to see anything at all. Don’t know what the wink means, though…?

I even enabled scoring long enough to plus you for that. It’s back to being hidden/disabled now though.

Not sure why you’re getting so defensive lately but you can jog off with that crap.

Jeff Speed is covering his own ass because he was involved with the investigation that, you know, never interviewed the victim in question. All he’s saying is that he’s “confident” their investigation was thorough. What the fudge else is he supposed to say?

You believe ol’ Speed, I’ll trust the victim.

You like what you like. I like what I like. I don’t need to watch AEW because their YouTube clips are more than enough, if I want to see anything at all. Don’t know what the wink means, though…?
Yes, I like what I like… which is literally all of pro wrestling. Hence why I watch whatever show I have the time to and don’t just assume I’m getting a full picture of shows I don’t watch solely because I’m too cool watch them, thus relying on Youtube clips to convey entire stories. And considering how lost you seem to be whenever discussing the AEW stories, I question whether you even watch clips or are just saying you do.

The wink is me being sarcastic toward you. Obviously. Though you’ll note that you’re the one who brought up AEW solely because you saw someone dare criticize Roman Reigns matches.

Truly not sure where this hostility is coming from but let’s take it down a notch.

You’re right. I apologize. I went back and re-read some stuff I posted and I was wrong. Not to make an excuse, but I have some things happening IRL and it boiled over. I deleted what I posted because I shouldn’t have posted it at all. I was wrong. I’ll try to be better at checking myself. Wrestling isn’t worth any of the aggravation I may have caused. I’m sorry.

Still not a liar though haha

After Vince's resignation last night, Slim Jim is already back as a sponsor.

Over the last year or so Wade Keller has been on top of Vince and Stephanie's relationship. But today he revealed that Vince is rarely allowed to see his granddaughters now.

That isn’t a surprise. I’m curious how Wade would know that, but hey I don’t blame her a bit.

This year has been nuts already and we aren’t even out of January. We’re not even past the Royal Rumble.

Alright, some mumbo jumbo in one more post so I don't gotta split it all up into more multi-posts.

- Raj Giri says there will be a debut tonight. Is this Jade Cargill? I expect Andrade in the men's Rumble, but I don't know if that counts as a debut more than a return.

- Raj also gives a hint to potential surprises tonight, saying "The WWE/TNA relationship is reaching new levels"


I still have so many questions about this stuff with Vince. Like, how "clean" are Kevin Dunn and Bruce Prichard in all of this? Were they involved but just haven't been named yet?

Guys like Chris Jericho and John Cena, they were/are very close to Vince, just as much as Brock is currently, if not more. How much of this stuff did they know was going on?

Not to make excuses for Vince but he has been open about his childhood abuse, and people who go through that often end up hypersexual and in some cases grow up to become the monster that they hated.

I know what the TNA/WWE surprise is. I won’t spoil it. I accidentally tapped on something on PWInsider and it was that. I’d be surprised if Jade didn’t appear. Unsure about Andrade. I hope Andrade is more like he was in NXT than he was in WWE the first time. I don’t know where he fits in unless it’s in the LWO/LDP stuff, like most of the rest of the Hispanic main roster guys. They need to be spread out more.

I thought about the Vince thing too. I believe the victim 1000000% but I also believe that Jeff Speed guy did all he could with the investigation. I think something came out in the investigation and that’s why Speed and a couple others found themselves out when Vince bullied his way back in. I don’t know what anyone else knew or helped with or whatever, but everyone that was involved needs to be held accountable. Period.

Brock also can’t appear tonight. While I’m glad the Jericho thing was baseless? I think so since it seems it died out as quick and it appeared? At any rate, the issues that I read about at Worlds End would be 100x worse if Brock shows up tonight. I think WWE will be smart to keep him off the show while AEW didn’t have time to pivot from Jericho from that show.

Vince went through some crap as a kid. Doesn’t absolve him of any responsibility or guilt.

Gonna be hard to scrub the past of Vince like they did Benoit but you have to imagine they will remove some of the more sexual angles. I think this is the tip of the iceberg and once he’s dead we will get the bigger story. These don’t come out of no where and he was doing these things when he was arguably in a lower position than he was at his height.

I have no idea how they’d completely scrub Vince. They couldn’t completely scrub Benoit. I’d think they do with Vince what they did with Benoit and never mention him and make him unsearchable on the Network/Peacock/whatever streaming service they have. They’re not against scrubbing really bad stuff, so you’re probably right that the worst stuff will be gone.

I waffle on scrubbing material. I don’t know if I’d be totally in favor of the scrubbing of any of the material, McMahon or Benoit or otherwise, because someone somewhere will be dumb enough to repeat it. It should be an option for a filter for sure, but it happened and everyone knows it happened and you can’t run for it. Certainly don’t glorify it or anything, but it happened. I also don’t want anyone to have to relive any trauma or anything like that.

I also wish someone would pay for all the music that all the companies used so I didn’t have to hear crapty cover 48479202 when watching an old ECW show, but it is what it is.
