More surprised they allow a running powerbomb after what happened to Droz. They banned the piledriver for much less if you compare what happened to Austin vs Droz. And that was only because Owen Hart decided to do a weird variation of a tombstone when he (allegedly) talked to austin backstage and said he would drop to his knees after initially saying he would drop to his ass.

The way Ric Flair took piledrivers is the best and worst way to do it. Safer than a scoop slam with absolutely no visible impact.
And the crowd goes mild |

Example context to my statement: 1) constantly trying to bury Daniel Bryan because his popularity was fucking up their plans until they couldn't sweep it under the rug anymore, then pretending that is what they meant to do the entire time until the temporary retirement. 2) the time I was swerved into believing that WWE was trying to bank on Batista being hot shit off the back of the first Guardians, but in reality, they thought the movie was going to flop, and didn't factor cross promotion at all. 3) having potential, premade stars graduate from their Florida factory, just to make them nobodies in short order. 4) killing an angle between Sasha and Bayley that saw Bayley not get suckered. It was supposed to be a heel turn but got a damn cathartic pop and should have been an avenue to make her a force to be reckoned with. Instead, that gets scrubbed in like three weeks to force them into a tag team to become the inaugural women's champs that they really didn't need to do. 5) NXT makes a big deal out of x tag team. Tag team gets called up to main roster. Tag team gets featured for like a month. Tag team fucks off to oblivion. See: American Alpha, Authors of Pain, The Ascension, The Revival, Heavy Machinery.... 6) Remember when they thought Jinder Mahal would be a big deal halfway around the world just because he was brown? They have been doing shitty shows since before Cody Rhodes tweeted "hold my beer". There is no way fucking over AEW is any priority. More like a "bright side" side effect of being a colossal shitty show... well, shitshow. |

The Vince conspiracies were bound to come in, but it's a bit risky to fly so close to the sun when you could potentially lose hundreds of millions should NBC and FOX not be appeased.

Saw a cool interview with Rhyno. He's walking away from WWE when his contract expires on July 17 because he wants to wrestle more and help bring more inexperienced talents along. WWE offered him twice as big a downside as he had to stay.

This deserves a thread of its own. Someone made a compilation of Lars’ bigoted views from the past.

“We have the unique advantage of listening to our audience”
Yes you do. You should try doing that sometime. Also, that segregation of the adult fan base shows the disconnect between them and the fans. Literally all adult fans want both of those things. |

What he meant to say was they have 2 fans, total. And that's what each one likes respectively.

Probably would have been in his best interest to not post all those things while pursuing a career as a pro rassler...

Those posts are really bad, especially the ones where he belittles people for having anxiety despite suffering through it himself. And he blocks anyone who brings up these posts.
It’s not even that he said one or two awful things. These are posts spanning half a decade showing patterns of racism, homophobia, and a complete lack of regard for the mentally ill. And all of these posts were when he was in his 20s and at an age where he clearly should’ve known better. Is it possible for people to change? Yes. But his refusal to own up to any of his mistakes tells me that he hasn’t. |

I quoted your posts in the new thread. I don't know how I feel about Lars. I've known about this for a while but it is finally getting some attention. I don't want him to lose his job but at the same time show some remorse for his bigoted views.

Apparently WWE laid down the hammer on the two NXT guys who were running a troubled Twitch channel.
Besides known issues with their streams having content that likely would piss off or be borderline unacceptable to WWE, they also ran an infamous donation system that encouraged people to pay to hear insults from wrestlers which led to the Rhea Ripley homophobic slur incident to happen. The NXT guy who ran the channel pretty much implied its all WWE's fault and instead of making changes to save their channel, he decided to call it quits instead. |

Lars can fuck right off with all that bullshit. Apparently WWE has known for a while. I hope this shit blows up in their face and they're forced to shit can that racist sack of shit.

Dude isn't wrong. If his job is covering current events in wrestling, it's good to have a healthy knowledge of wrestling history, but knowing a guy like Gino Hernandez isn't necessary.
