WWE debuted Jacob Fatu last night without a video package? Someone check on Raj Giri and make sure he’s okay.
What’s that?
He didn’t bitch about it?
Strange.
It's okay to say AEW made Jade into a star worthy of a 7-figure deal and to also say WWE should be able to make her into a bigger star. Both things are true.

It just astounds me how much these people want to live in a dictatorship. You watch videos of Hitler or Mussolini and wonder how people cheered them. Then you read stuff like this and you see how it happens.

@Saraya
and some of these WWE transfers realize that a lot of the fanbase of AEW actually prefer that company. Saying "you've never done anything" to AEW wrestlers makes the company sound small time, which the fans of this company do not appreciate.
This is true. You tell normal people you like pro wrestling and they give you a disgusted look and say, "you like WWE?" They might not know AEW exists but they know WWE is stupid.
WWE were the only game in town for 20 years, and the shit they did embarrassed everyone. Their influence in the genre is so great that too many people ape their style. And now we're here.
I don't care what The Rock told you, wrestling will never be cool. That's WWE's fault.
I swear to God, listening to some of these Thursday post-show podcasts, it seems none of these people watch any other TV or even read books. It seems like people raised on McMahon TV can't handle an overlapping narrative.
The best point that Bix and Lanza bring up on their pod is that so many focus on the false narrative that Dave is "biased" toward AEW (he's the opposite), while completely ignoring that every other source is remarkably biased toward WWE.
We don't talk enough about the damage Conrad Thompson has done to pro wrestling fandom. Has anyone benefited more from feeding into the tribalism than his company? Truly toxic.

All Elite Wrestling, once the darling of the Internet Wrestling Community, has received heavy scrutiny in recent months for its creative direction and now appears to need help filling the stands in its hometown
Professional Wrestlers cut promos for decades without being fed terrible verbiage. The argument that AEW needs script writers remains the worst. Just watch WWE if you prefer that presentation.
Dave wrote a great piece on Lanny Poffo today. The Observer is the gold standard. Though watching that Ringside guy meltdown before our eyes, the bar is sadly low. Gonna be a sad day when Dave is done.
ESPN put out an article on the Vince allegations. Nothing new, but this section at the end made me scratch my head.
A) I don't think that's pertinent.
B) It's not true. Vince's father, who sold Vince the promotion at a cut rate, had sold out MSG consistently for years.

Barbs win the Regional and send all fourteen wrestlers to the Sectional Championship next weekend. The win also secures a place in the IHSA Dual Team Sectional Championships on February 22nd.
It's fucking crazy that we can't even call people out when they don't have good matches. We have to blame "booking" on what happens in the match?
Gimme a break.
Ruby Soho less than a two months ago at All Out against Kris Statlander
She's still good, stop blaming talent for obvious bad booking. Yesterday's match was just poorly produced and that was main reason why it was that bad.

Ironically enough a guy RTed this while also saying that reporters shouldn’t cover Vince’s assault and human trafficking because you would have to explain to your children that bad people exist. This company poisons minds.
I hate the casual fan argument. Marvel doesn't write shows to the casual fan. Game of Thrones didn't write to the casual fan. Neither did Watchmen. But wrestling needs to ignore their fanbase for some reason.

At least Satin was honest about it.
Grant's lawyer vows to expose WWE's 'culture of corruption' under McMahon, hints at more victims. "My office and my inbox have had a barrage of people wanting to come forward."

It's all about serving the narrative in order to protect a guy who abused both his position of power and countless employees for decades. Protect Vince and WWE at all costs.
