I think people were under the misapprehension, however reasonable, that WWE Starrcade would in some way shape or form actually resemble Starrcade, especially when it was in Greensboro, as it was last year. It ended up being a house show with a few legends making appearances. This year was basically that, with a few sections edited together into a one hour Network show. So yeah, in 2017, the gripe was that we couldn't see Starrcade. In 2018, the gripe was that they put an hour of house show content on the network and called it Starrcade. Peoples' reactions make perfect sense when you look at them in context. Or you can just not cuz you want to be contrarian.

Which thread is the Lars Sullivan dumpster fire in? EDIT: found it.

WWE needs to implement the following policy. Hire someone with a knowledge of wrestling history that is well above average who has never worked in the business before. That person should have a reasonably normal social life, (i.e. not be a basement dwelling shut-in,) and have friends, family, and/or romantic partners who are not interested in wrestling. This person's only job will be to observe all creative meetings and scripts and tell Vince when some bit of awful comedy he likes will embarrass wrestling fans in front of normal people.

Pete Dunne is basically Eugene.

Is smoke a weather? Cuz that definitely sucks.

How to do Black Friday shopping if you are sane: 1) Pre-Black Friday deals are nearly as good as the ones actually on the day. A couple years ago, I got a 40" 1080p TV for $200. On Black Friday, if I'd wanted it for 12 bucks cheaper, I could have subjected myself to massive crowds and lines. Instead, I showed up to Best Buy a couple weeks before, found a clerk, said "I'll take one of those" and got out of there in about 10 minutes. 2) Cyber Monday, aka Black Friday for the internet. Buy shit there, then go make a sandwich.

I highly doubt this is the case, but it would be an interesting (if somewhat Machiavellian) twist if that were part of the test of getting hired: Fighting against red tape incorrectly applied.

If you were a politician, would YOU want your constituents to see you in THAT match?

Vince cares. Vince definitely cares.

My "awful human being" comment was: Well that's ONE way to get Roman off the PR nightmare that is Crown Jewel.

Right? Helluva deal though for$120.

Billy Gunn approved.

Craig-Bond is the reverse Star Trek.

I assume everyone is talking about hair dye and shoes to sidestep the fact that Dean Ambrose had a wrestling match tonight, the highlight of which was his new offense. His loose-ass strikes always looked like shit so seeing angry-face Ambrose start off the match with chain-wrestling was weird enough. Then he busts out these new power moves that looked genuinely good.
