I'm just quoting this in the hopes that I'll never have to read another "Stephanie's putting herself on TV what a bitch in real life" hot take in any future RAW threads.

When was the last time someone on here said that?

I think some of y'all conflate shit said elsewhere *COUGHREDDITCOUGH* with stuff said on here. I'm sure someone has at some point, but it's probably been awhile and they were hopefully and probably corrected that Steph hasn't had anything to do with creative in quite some time.

While I frequently think people assign one person's bad take on something to THE ENTIRE BOARD THINKS~! in this case I agree with @MORELOCK

Just look at the entire buildup to Mania this year

It first started to "Oh Mania is going to be Steph vs. Ronda so Steph can be the first person to beat her". Then it became "Steph is going to make it her vs. Becky" or "Steph is going to insert herself into the Main Event"

And attached that was frequently "she will give herself the title"

Now - you can think people are just saying that as jokes but a lot of truth is said in jest but it still has happened on this very board as recently as two months ago.

Just because maybe it hasn't been said since basically Steph has been off of TV doesn't make it any less valid

EDIT - I am also fairly positive I can find people in the weekly TV threads insisting on things like the women in the main event as being Steph's doing

I agree that some stuff is said as jokes and other times that truth is said in jest, but it's hard for me to believe that those people would actually truly believe Steph is pulling strings like a puppet master. I do know that some people have said too often that Steph takes credit for the women's division, so there is that.

It's honestly not even worth the trouble of searching the weekly TV threads for that stuff. I don't doubt what you said is true, but I also wonder how much it actually matters. Like, does MORELOCK need to scoreboard on this particular subject when it might be a couple people who aren't smart enough to know Steph doesn't have creative pull? I don't know...to me it just isn't worth it. Some people still think HHH is this terrible, awful, horrible person that buried everyone.

I know I've pointed out before that Sami was on Talk is Jericho before his return talking about toxic fan culture, and that his new gimmick wasn't necessarily a "mouthpiece for Vince."

Meltzer suggests that Zayn did in fact come up with his new character.

I swear some of y'all could look at an ink blot test and see Vince trying not to sneeze.

Meltzer and Brian also said, maybe within the last day or so, that Sami's character is based off of Vince. I think that all stemmed from a caller to another show saying he spoke with a couple of the writers and that was one of the things that came up.

Meltzer vs Meltzer is such a played out feud. I'm disappointed they couldn't book something fresher.

But this happened prior to theĀ agreement. There still isn't a legal leg to stand on for this fine. This clause in the contract is only good for the length of the agreement.Ā 

Again, they shouldn't have a legal leg to stand on in the independent contractor argument either but they keep on doing it.Ā  Until someone says "wait, this is bullshit," lawyers up, and takes them to court, they're going to step over any labor relations line they feel like.Ā  But nobody wants to flush their career away to fight McDevitt, so they'll keep paying ridiculous fines, and their own trans.

Ā  Actually this is a really fresh match-up for the summer,Ā bay-beeee. Think about it! Meltzer goes missing for months, and Ā there are MeltzerĀ sightings everywhere. Detective Tony Shalhoub is on the case. MORELOCK not only finds him, heā€™s alsoĀ bought his services. Craig H is saddened by this news, but stillĀ determinedĀ that DaveĀ is still on his side. So the stakes have been set! Itā€™s Meltzer Vs. Meltzer! Winner will be the real Meltzer! At the biggest party of the summer!

For the record - I do not ever read Reddit, for wrestling or anything else, and do not have a Twitter. If I'm referring to opinions on wrestling that I have encountered, I am referring to this board.

Hope Naitch is okay.

Edited to remove ambulance ride from my post. TMZ said he was rushed with a medical emergency, and I assumed that meant ambulance.

Blood Money is such a good name for a PPV, WWE should actually use it. Not like people could get madder about it.Ā 

Hey Paul! Get me this guy on the phone, willya, pal? Whenever you get done with whatever you and Steff are doing back there... Hey, this guy's A WRITER! We need some more writers don't we? He even does a funny book, he's got this dead guy who hangs out in hotels so they call him the INN Spectre, cause ya know, "Inn" is another word for "hotel" HAHAHAHAHA!!! This guy will slay ya, pal. Some really funny shit. Did ya know that a big fear people have of travelling is something coming up out of the toilet to GET THEM!!!! I SHIT YA NOT!!! HAHAHAHAHA! See what I just did there? There's your first twenty minutes of RAW, shoot it in the lobby and have that fat Samoan guy play the bell-hop and have this Vic guy sign a releaseĀ  and show up dressed as the INN Spectre! Have him chase the fat guy aroundĀ the ring a few times, I don't think creative has anything else for him to do. I'm sure that we can get this Vic guy for fifty bucks and some t--shirts... We've got a lot of those shirts for the Saudi show, don't we?
