The Viking Experience is what your dorky fifth grade teacher called the history module on Vikings in his never-ending, never-succeeding quest to make history interesting to his students

You mean the Honorable Ring Experience?

The Viking Experience

That crowd was like 70/30 for Cole at the start of the match and by the end every freaking one of them were behind Gargano. No one has to like what they don't like but they had the building 100

I think Zayn still holds up as arguably the greatest NXT run of anyone, bar none.

Moore made about $200K in 3 years of WCW, then worked another 5 years or so in two stints at WWE. If he lived frugally, it's pretty easy to see him having $50K from his WCW run, and $50K/year from WWE.

Hang on. AFD pranks resulted in a violent altercation and not only hasn't the company cracked down, but when another prank gets an angry verbal reaction, they suspend the person the prank was pulled on? What kind of morons run this company and how can I get hired there so I can cash in with an easy 6-figure lawsuit?

Ok but again, "can't make a living in this industry" is, I would argue, quite a bit different from "dying decades younger than is normal". Whether Meltzer and WO are shitty bosses isn't necessarily as important as the issue that in this instance they are promoting.

Can people really not just read what I wrote, understand the difference between companies with big money behind them paying six figures for exclusive contracts and indies paying 20 bucks and a hot dog for a night's work and deduce that I'm only talking about one of those groups?

How many Observer writers have died in their 40s?

So are we bringing up AEW/RoH to say that these companies should also be forced to lose "independent contractor" status for workers under exclusive contracts, or are people bringing this up to say that if pushing WWE on this front doesn't also push those companies, it shouldn't be done, because if so, hi, welcome to how this works when you're waging a PR campaign. You target the largest, most visible corporation, the one that sets the standard for the industry, rightly or wrongly, get them to do what you want, and then go after #2 and #3. It's why people who've been pushing for $15/hr minimum wages have targeted large fast-food corporations and Amazon. Because if WWE can be profitable while treating fairly with all their workers, (and they absolutely can,) then the rest will fall in line.

Wrestlemania MM, obviously.

I got to hold the ropes for him as he climbed into the ring to talk to a group of fans and a few prospective students before APW's KOI in 2001. He was 71 at the time, and still had a tremendous passion for the business, even as he was long past working in it.

My department had to do a mandatory test on some new Google software that my department would use like 20% of, giving us the choice to either spend 12+ hours studying courses we would never use or get in multiple choice guessing hell, where failing meant you couldn't retake the test for 24 hours. I found an answer key for 5 euros online, and sent the .pdf to coworkers I liked.

I don't care how "smart" (or not so) a crowd may be, if you can't get into Ricochet and Lio Rush going full speed with each other then you're not even trying to have fun.

Shelton, Lana, Asuka, and...Andrade? Mexico is as close to South America as the main roster gets.

Settle down, Hollywood DZnetico

If he kneed the chapo guys in the face it'd be even better.

Me five years ago, after Bryan beat up Bray Wyatt in the cage and led the Yes chants on top of it: I could not be any more into a wrestler than I am right now. Me last night, after Bryan went on Vince McMahon's television program and made the case, speaking directly to Vince McMahon, that billionaires were immoral: ❤❤❤❤❤

I have that exact mask. I am not kidding.

So tired of motherfuckers in this game who think they're clever headshotting me while I'm fishing. They all ride off and I hunt them down and get like seven to one ratios on them before they leave the session cuz if they were any good they wouldn't be bothering fishers in the first place.

Do we need to post the pic of the McMahons in the Oval Office again to remind you who runs this dumb company?

The "things happen for a reason" follow-up was way harsher.

So instead of Baron Corbin in 15 segments a show, it'll be Steph?
