Happ Hazzard Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 2 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: I'm a few days late on this, but I just want to say, it is absolutely not uncommon for someone to come to a fast food restaurant, order a truly preposterous amount of food, and drive off. And when the kitchen is 12-15 sandwiches deep into the order, with four baskets of fries down, and then front slowly realizes that they aren't in line... That's a fair amount of wasted product. And sometimes managers or crew get in trouble for excessive waste. So I totally get why the DQ was skeptical, and Cornette was being an asshole per usual. Cornette was being a bit of an ass hole no doubt, but if they'd got to the food service window, they'd already paid, and the food should have been started to be prepared.

RIPPA Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Couple of notes from Meltzer from the radio show about things recently talked about - The Mania ticket sale was pulled because they want to make a change but Dave doesn't know if it is to add more seats or take some away. Alvarez's theory (which Dave agreed with for the most part) is that they wanted to announce at least one "Main Event" before tickets went on sale and that is why Lashley/Drew was announced awkwardly on RAW. - Dave said that the NXT outbreak and the ticket sale being pulled could be related but his lean is that it isn't (Partly because Dave freely admitted that he never assumes Vince will do the "right" thing) - NXT show is being re-written and that things that "were supposed to be there" won't be. - From the pure speculation department - the only person Dave could think of that could have been on RAW that wasn't was Reginald. But he did say you really wouldn't know anything till Friday and if he does or does not appear on Smackdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So apparently Drake Wuertz and friends entered a government building maskless to...do some trolling and protest abortion or something I guess? If Vince is as fed up with his independent contractors not following Covid protocols as they say he is, maybe it's time for something to be done about this goof once and for all. Whenever I get around to creating the list of awful wrestling shit to come out of the pandemic, "all around nice guy Drake Younger getting radicalized by a far right megachurch and becoming a QAnon nutjob" will be on it. :( 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Not every place has two separate windows, and some that do only use both during peak hours (the latter is true for places I've worked.)

I like Griff a lot but Pillman's views are the mean reason I can't get into the Varsity Blonds team. I know it has nothing to do with his wrestling but some things are just hard to ignore when seeing him. Which sucks considering before he really started wrestling he sounded like a level-headed person in interviews and much like his dad sounded rather smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Not just anti-mask...Pillman was tweeting Covid denier shit in the early days of the pandemic.

SirSmUgly Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The last page or two of this thread basically supports my previously-made argument that the worst thing to happen to pro wrestling in the United States was not WWE destroying all serious competition or too many fanboi marks getting into the business themselves, but the invention of social media. If I ran a company, no one would be Tweeting or Facebooking by rule. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTFY. I know you meant for wrestling but sometimes I almost long for the days when it was just AIM and the like. But since it was about wrestling it would be nice but could be difficult to manage. It could lead to people creating accounts with their real names or they could use other platforms to express themselves (I can see more people going to places like Gab.) To me it just has potential to go down a slippery slope that would require the owner to have a very good handle on things while making sure they don't use Draconian measures to control it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Wasn't Pillman Sr. about to be involved in right wing talk radio? I seem to recall someone from that group being friends with him.
