Posted this one last week as a late entry. I think that cost it a few votes, so let's see if it does better this week

Don't forget, WWE is a fucking MAGA-ass company.

Worth noting that Hologram and Kommander were advertised for the show (though Kommander obviously won't make it with the injury), so this is pretty much just a grudge against LFI at this point.

And yeah, I have to applaud Dralistico here for being the bigger man.

Hey, Rick Astley's still doing music, he could probably do a new version of Never Gonna Give You Up for Rollins.

He just did a cover of Pink Pony Club on his YouTube channel that is pretty good.

I don't disagree that AEW has too many belts, and apparently neither do they.That's kind of the point here. They are reducing their belt count by unifying the Continental and International titles into one, which reduces their belt count by one.

Not sure what you mean here. There have been plenty of great stories without belts involved lately.

Oh, so that's the TV show Wardlow is filming that is preventing his AEW return.

Seems like the flaw in their plan is assuming there will be a next election.

Support candidates they hate, like Zohran Mamdani, Kat Abughazaleh, AOC, etc. Start changing them from the ground up.

It's a long process, and we might not have time to pull it off at this point. But I don't see a better option short of straight up revolution.

That. I can't believe that their takeaway from 2024 was that they didn't throw the left under the bus enough. Harris ran exactly the campaign that the DNC donors wanted, and we see the fucking results.

I'm of two minds here. On the one hand, Kevin Kelly is a piece of shit and his claims have about zero merit to them (the Tate twins might have a bit more, since it was the CEO of the company badmouthing them publicly, but there's still not really much there). On the other, I'm opposed to mandatory binding arbitration just on general principle. Everyone deserves their day in court.

If Cody himself comes out and says something like that, and condemns Trump in the strongest possible terms, I might accept it. Until then, Cody was at a Trump rally.

So, uh, Cody Rhodes, the Street Profits, and Tiffany Stratton opened for Trump's fascist army rally.

So, again, fuck WWE. And fuck Cody in particular. He has the clout, he could have said no.

Saw some new details I wasn't aware of anymore: Mariah May apparently took a 75% pay cut for this shit.

Wrestlers need to get out of this mindset that WWE is "the dream", because it's really looking like a nightmare.

I feel like, if they saw the value in her name, they would have worked out some kind of licensing agreement or something so she could retain ownership and they could still use it. They've done it for plenty of other wrestlers.

And it's telling how WWE is the only promotion with this "we must own your name" gimmick. Even other major promotions, like AEW and NJPW, somehow manage to promote talent without having to rename them.

Wow. They really just do not care about women's wrestling at all, huh?

Honestly, if any incoming woman should have kept her name and gone straight to the main roster, it's Mariah fucking May, who came in directly from being a main event talent for AEW. The fact that she's being treated like this says so goddamn much.

Doesn't Bret Hart tell a similar story about Warrior?

I mean, both are probably true. Both men are/were massive dicks, and also racist

I hear you there. I actually made the choice not to go to All In this year, even though I could have made the drive, because it's in Texas and I don't think I would feel safe there. I mean, I'm not transitioning, I'm just genderfluid, but it's not like bigots are picky, you know?

But I do applaud the decision to support Dallas Pride, because if anybody needs help right now, it's LGBTQ+ organizations in Texas.
