During 1990/1991, when Vince turned the Gulf War into an angle. I happened to be be a part of that entire conflict and while we didn't have a TV the Stars and Stripes newspaper would write reviews the entire angle and controversy surrounding it. It wasn't an angle to me and it felt dirty and exploitative as fuck. So I quit the WWE full on and only watched WCW up until around late 98.

It's like if during Major League Bob Uecker, as the announcer, said a batter won't be able to get a hit because he's a bad actor. It's Russo levels of idiocy.

Main roster WWE in a simple sentence, everybody.

Unless he's turning heel (and he's obviously not) pinning this announcement on Roman by Vince himself would be the most unfair and dumb thing of all time. And if it's Brock it kind of breaks all kinds on nonsense due to the fact that you know, he was already on the show.

In a tag team called Religious Experience.

Well, the first "acquisition" to SD was The Rock, so all they have to do is get somebody bigger than one of the most famous people in the world.

Watching this latest Brock run, I'm pretty sure he's fine with whatever as long as the money is coming in. He's the opposite of the conversation sparked by the recent Sasha issues. Based on the length of his matches these days, I could even see a scenario where they told him he was going first and putting Seth over strong in ten minutes and Brock being all "Hey, if you want to put him over strong, let's do it in 2". He's done by 7, he worked 3 minutes and he probably got paid more than anyone on the show. SUPERWORKER.

Since every word is capitalized, it must be a article headline and all I can think of is: "Scranton Area Paper Company Dunder Mifflin Apologizes to Valued Client; Some Companies Still Know How Business Is Done"

So let's recap: Enzo and Cass have two atrocious nicknames to live their gimmick. Billy Graham is telling people to use steroids. Nia's knees are fucked but Tamina's are fine. Just another week in Pro Wrestling.

But if it was a long standing rule that had been broken multiple times on the same platform, would you be fired? If not, maybe your boss isn't a lunatic.

They were treated as independent contractors in wcw. For the record, NFL players get 52% of all revenue, MLB around 50 and NBA 57. Dave says WWE wrestlers get around 8%. I'm not sure how he gets that but I'm guessing from quarterly stock reports and stuff.

The XFL is going to bomb so bad and I've never been so sure of anything in my life.

The issue to me is not weather or not WWE or anybody else should or shouldn't do whatever. The issue is, they are illegally classified as independent contractors and not a small business. They should be held to the same laws as everybody else in that vein. If ROH or whoever falls into that category, they should too. And no, people that write reviews for the observer or do 720 flips at the armory on Friday do not fall into that category.

I would also like to jump in to point out that unionizing and becoming paid employees are two very different things. And I would hate for WWE to have to offer pensions and health care and stuff. I mean, who else does that? ?

The thing is, if they ran that weekend they really have no shot of hurting WWE in any way, they basically would be going against other Indies, ROH etc. This is why Vince acting like some carny loon WM week is embarrassing. There's no way he loses a cent when all these little companies run their shows.

After that moment, maybe all the other non-wrestling marks will start taking notice of women's sports.

Just think of the circular lunacy of this whole thing that Asuka beat Becky clean at RR.

Me: You know what I really like? A really good piece of chocolate cake with vanilla icing. WWE: You like cake PAL? Good. We're going to give you a seven layer, chocolate double fudge SUPER cake. Its going to have 7 layers of vanilla of icing covered in pureed fruit with another coating of icing PAL. It's going to be 7 feet tall and weigh in and just over 22 pounds. It'll be the biggest cake in culinary history notwithstanding PAL. Me: I'd just like a nice piece of chocolate cake, please.

My co-worker's brother drove the Smackdown truck for quite a few years, quite the nomadic lifestyle. I told this story on this board already but one time they were in Raleigh and he got tickets and asked me to go along. I wasn't really feeling it so I said no. He chilled with his brother for several hours backstage before the show and the next day he was telling me stories that made me quite regret I didn't go.

Nope, nothing you could have done with this story. Nothing at all.

@RondaRousey vs. @DanaBrookeWWE for #RAW #WomensTitle I know Becky and Charlotte have been giving it their all for that title shot, but everybody knows it's Dana Brooke that really deserves the shot. I mean, she has wrestled on TV at least two times this year.

But then he punts the baby into the crowd and all is forgiven for the greatest thing ever that still makes me laugh.

It was only his first official retirement so he has few to go.

Fwiw, Meltzer has said pretty emphatically from day 1 that the Roman illness was real.

The only people that know any of those details are hardcore mma fans.
