And AAA needs to pull Texano out of the doghouse or put a rocket to Pentagon soon. Nobody wants a main eventer Myzteziz heel run past the initial 'shock'
It's a shame since Texano is just so damn good. He hardly ever gets to show it. Talk about how shitty CMLL is all you want, they at least have a lot of good rudos

I certainly agree that there's no way to paint anything Benoit was about in a positive light. What he did WAY overshadows any good his character could stand for, and it didn't particularly stand for good nor could it be leveraged as such.

Doing a PWG catch up, I enjoyed him in Lucha Underground, but Brian Cage is the worst in PWG. Cannot stand him.
Not sold yet on Speedball, but GODDAMN that apron rana.

Bailey plays a good little guy face in peril because he looks so young and because even Hero towers over him.
They are all scripted to say that and if they aren't than Vince is paying welfare for 30 writers to do nothing.
Its all of these little things that don't make sense to me. They own that period of wrestling and the WCW name.
Why not celebrate it when so often people look back so fondly to the Mid South NWA and WCW days?
Like here is singer Darius Rucker on the today show doing a Dusty impression
https://youtu.be/Z3Lhzku2Vmo?t=115
You'd figure that this is the sort of stuff they would celebrate more often instead of the Vince that gives guys gimmicks as a rib or sabotage
The whole idea of "I didn't make it so its shit" is so dumb.

PWG pushing Mike Bailey means he is going to be ROH champ soon
I'm genuinely surprised they didn't recycle his entrance like they did last year. Instead they actively made it worse.

Well once he's dead you can celebrate.

Lol what the hell at Brock's arm flailing. His entrance was fine before.
well considering Vince is known to flip the script 5 min before the show, yeah those 25 writers are probably paid to do mostly nothing

Aren't the Four Horseman in the WWE Hall of Fame? So I guess technically you could say that makes them the best in WWE history.

I just don't understand the logic of those tiny things. I mean if anything Vince deserves a shitload of credit for so many countless things (lighting standards, produced promos and interviews, using celebrities to help make your product mainstream, innovating with different characters and using long payoffs to help make stories great, twisting the real life factors of somebody to make their character seem more real).
There are so many things that Vince never will get the credit he deserves but I don't think having one person say Wrestling or WCW is going to create brand confusion.
From a creative standpoint part of the reason why NXT and Lucha underground were so well received is that they tried to deviate from the Sports Entertainment formula that Vince pioneered.
Very few people get to be like Walt Disney and have their creative vision maintain popularity over a long period of time.
I'm not going to celebrate a man's death but don't tell me that people are beginning to look forward to the day HHH gets head creative control.

I'm surprised! Good on you WWE for addressing it. This is just like the way NeoGAF got that Nintendo guy fired.
Not really
Good. Hope Rollins did the same.

Good job, WWE. Next time though, try to prevent the fire before it starts.

I dunno if it tops Groundhog Day but it's a great movie. Definitely in the Perfect Echelon of movies like Ghostbusters.

Warrior has an award given in his name to sick & dying children that celebrates his strength of character and spirit, the same spirit that allowed him to be an unrepentant bigot, sexist, racist, homophobic piece of shit. Of course people do have the capacity for change and no one should feel compelled to justify or explain their changes of heart, but when you're a public figure that kind of comes with the territory. Only this time the reprehensible shit got swept under the carpet and forgotten about, especially with his sudden death as it wasn't really the time or the place to bring up his failings.
I think it's OK as well, to a point.

Straight garbage. The shimmering, horrible hair, jacked up face, horrible looking crowd. Yukes is the worst game developer out, but at this point there is no hope they will switch to a better dev.

Man, Seth is gonna look so bummed tonight.
It had to happen though.

Word of advice to absolutely anyone looking to get hired by WWE, before even you get a tryout, comb every single thing you ever posted on any social media and delete anything shitty you wrote (assuming your brain is capable of comprehending that what you wrote was shitty).
She posted those Nazi pics and racist posts three years ago, and it cost her a job today.

That would remove a large chunk of wrestlers from history.
Honestly, might be my Euro bias, but I can see someone coming back from saying the n-word, given enough time.
But there really isn't any coming back from being pro-Hitler.

I think if you are racist to the point where you are defending your obvious racism against criticism, you are a lost cause.
Looks as if one could equip Brock with pom poms and have him go "RAH RAH RAH!"
Most the guys from that era of the 80s were raised in the 50s and 60s. There's no excuse for that shit anymore. Just watch the gap drop-off in notorious racists from the 80s to the 90s.
To be fair, WWE employees probably have actually lives and aren't Reddit users that do nothing else than scouring people's instagram accounts.
