Keep in mind Wrestling Old Guy Pods tend to be aimed at an audience of curmudgeons and "young guys aren't asking these hall of fame vets for advice!!!" really hits the curmudgeon demo in the sweet spot. Also, I heard Ricky was misquoted. He has actually asked his tag team partner for advice many times, only to be told "you can't teach that." It's frustrating.

The Wall Street Journal Vince McMahon Thread.
Technico Support replied to Kang's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I'm just blown away because it feels so avoidable. Everybody knew questions about Vince would be coming. Isn't there a team in place to tell HHH what he should say? Like maybe a guy who got hit in the head for a living for a few decades shouldn't have been up there saying whatever he felt was the correct thing to say with no guidance? He ostensibly prepped for this and said something pretty dumb but why the hell is a pro wrestler up there as the face of your company during its worst crisis with apparently nobody giving him any pointers? It's crazy. Unless he did have pointers and "I didn't read it and I just want to focus on the positive and have fun" was the directive, which is just monumentally stupid. Just...wow, man. Wow. But hey, he had an awesome anti-AEW zinger ready to go, so good on him, I guess. -

Double post but fucking seriously, between “let’s just stay positive” and doofus Cody talking about the 50k people they’re there to entertain, let’s put smiles on faces instead of turds on heads, god damn. If there was ever a time to be a fucking human being…a woman was raped and sex trafficked and these shills can’t get out of the “treat Vince like Kim Jong Il” and protect the glorious company mindset. Fuck these guys. -

Cody is, and always has been, corny as fuck. He’s exactly where he’s supposed to be in his career. Being the top guy in the underdog opposition promotion is not for him. He’s always at the ready to toss the salad of his corporate overlords. -

I'll have to list it sometime, or maybe not, but the Trump/McMahon similarities are crazy. Right down to both guys being preoccupied with physical size, which is wild. -

My god, I'm seriously looking forward to some JTTS foregone conclusion wrestling after the shitshow these last two days have been. Bring on Moxley gloriously defeating Lee Moriarty et al. Kip Sabian doesn't know shit about any sexual assault, Komander and Vikingo love everyone, and the Butcher is just wholesome as fuck. I wish I'd been paid before Thursday so I could have snagged that Butcher fig I saw at Target earlier this week but fuck, $22 is steep and I'm sure Ringside Collectibles will have it for like 10 in a month. Also @Dog and @piranesi are excellent dudes, passionate about an issue they're coming at from different sides, but are both good guys that I like. Please chill, friends. This is a shitty time. Also I may or may not have been drinking.

I drove from home to the office in Rockville yesterday and it was like Silent Hill out here in MoCo.

Technico Support replied to Kang's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Are we at a point yet where we can just call using power imbalances to coerce sex "rape?" Hold a gun to a woman's head to get something she wasn't willing to give you voluntarily vs Hold her livelood, career, and financial well being to her head to get something she wasn't willing to give you voluntarily. Not the same but, god damn, it's close enough. -

That's probably what should happen, but it won't. Not another peep from TKO all day. Most likely because they're holed up in a conference room strategizing how to get rid of Vince, minimize damage, and move forward keeping as much value in this brand as they can. Their initial Tweet of "all this shit happened before us, sorry" is a preview for how they're going to play this. If you want to be REALLY cynical, everybody but Vince stays and Vince is scapegoated. "It's time to put it all behind us and heal" type shit. Nobody is skipping the Rumble. I'm sure every wrestler in that company is telling themselves it was all Vince and now he's gone, so everything is fine. -

That would be nice, and I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong, but if he had any character, he wouldn't have gone back to "the place that made him sick" in the first place. -

I think TKO needs to clear out the Vince loyalists/members of Vince's inner circle just in case. Especially HHH, who had to know something. He's Vince's son in law FFS. Even if he didn't, you can't call leading this investigation and then declining to interview the victim acting in good faith. The funny thing is that he wasn't ousted for being a rapist. He was ousted for playing games with company money. Corporations don't care about a CEO using his power to force a woman into a sexual relationship. Just don't fuck with company money while you do it. -

Right, I was just thinking about that. Their choice will be in the middle of the Venn Diagram of "morally right" and "right for the company and our sacrosanct shareholders and the holy job creators amen." Life is fucking HARD, man. I try to be open and forgiving, gracious, understanding that everyone is fighting a personal war I'll never see and deserves some slack, but then so much happens to feed the cynicism, you know? -

Technico Support replied to Kang's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Question is, are these people still close enough to their humanity to make moral decisions, or have they been so insulated by yes men and daily swims in hundred dollar bills that they've lost their moral compass? I know where my hunch would fall on that question but I'm older and have had 49+ years of seeing what rich men do when left unchecked. -
