Actually no, it was HHH of all people who bumped for Rousey.
He shit over his future coworkers that are his seniors by at least a decade on Twitter by calling them worthless jobbers.
Some people think that the wrestlers are in the wrong for taking offense.
Truth hurts
Racist vs Homophobe in the Skydome
An all-time classic. I do agree that they missed the boat on branding it Racist vs. Homophone in the SkyDome, though, I'll give you that.
(I'm leaving that typo. >_>)
of course.
Taker would have pulled Wrestler Court on him and had him doing catering truck work for a month
I do not think so.
I think the guys who have busted their ass coming up are not exactly all shiny over these folks who do some cute little tv show and end up with a contract deal and then come in with attitude.
You pay your dues and prove yourself.
I respect Owens for it and the others, hell Owens is on the main roster now but he is about the business.
SOMEONE has to do the job, and it is not a job that has alot of glory to it.
Again, you do not shit on your boys.

2014's Rumble was fun for the most part. I remember the crowd beign super into the match.
Right until the number #30 entrant, and the crowd realized that Bryan wasn't there. Then they just booed anyone, until it was obvious that Batista was going to win and then it turned into a cheer for anyone-not-batista and a trainwreck of an ending.
2015's Rumble on the other hand, was a clusterfuck from beggining to end. I never thought I'd see a boring Royal Rumble match, but then 2015 happened.

Does anyone here know how to get things online? I'm talking special skills?

Like a hitman?
I think they need to know ASAP whether Bryan is cleared - because I think Bryan being around gives them the option of turning Reigns heel (which is why I think the Cena injury was doubly brutal, as another top face means you have the option of finally turning Cena or turning Reigns).
The one upside is that they're going to have a ton of talent returning for the summer, which might help the normal summer doldrums.
That said, I think they've really booked themselves into a corner with the Rumble. I think the best option they have is that Lesnar enters at #2; Reigns and Lesnar go at it but eventually Lesnar throws him out 10 or so minutes in, and proceeds to destroy the Rumble until finally everyone gangs up on him and throws him out. The best heel they have is HHH; which is a major problem. (Assuming that Owens and Ambrose are out of the Rumble match due to LMS stipulations).
That, or they're getting ready to turn Roman.

Years ago my friend was fresh out of college and had to work at an ice cream plant for a couple of months before landing a better job and he said the people he worked with were all uppity about their "lifer" status and were jerks to him for no reason. I guess it was jealousy, I dunno. Anyway, I wonder what those people are up to.
This guy...
Hey man you got to respect the business. Sure we don't get health care or basic travel accommodations that any other business would do but that's the sacrifice we have to make so the modern day Howard Hughes can feel important.
Still looking for those Sting and Hogan DLC codes from 2k15? It's been 2 years, give it up already.

I'm looking for someone with special skills, someone who knows how to acquire things.
Roman is never going heel. Never. Ever.
I will do some obscene year long avatar bet on that.

Are they trying to pretend they aren't jobbers? Didn't Big Show take out all four of them at the same time less than 24 hours ago?
Reigns needs to go out before the endgame. If it comes down to Roman v X it's not going to work- he needs to get fucked over before the end is in sight.
You are still going to be the asshole they put on toilet cleaning duty though, so good on you for not showing them a bit of respect I suppose.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
In perspective, I can completely understand how people who "paid their dues" consider it insulting to have some rookie who won a reality show and has 0 actual experience calling other experienced members of the roster "jobbers."
Should have called them #SocialEnhancementTalent

I'll admit, I did laugh when Bo Dallas got clocked out of nowhere yesterday.

Cody himself is basically a jobber, so I think I can see why he'd be upset. In any case it doesn't really have anything to do with kayfabe, its more of a thing where I doubt the performers call each other jobbers to their faces.
Going by the stuff Cody gets mad about on twitter, I'm sure his response was more about the guy using the word 'jobber'
because Cody still thinks WWE has any interest in protecting the business
It's this.
Josh is a jabroni in their eyes that's still learning the basics of wrestling. Can't mouth off like that, even if it seems minor. He's lucky there's way less "rookie punishment" in the ring now.
Cody gets so salty about anything relating to that stuff.
Hey man they had to work bingo halls just like the indies.
But that has more to do with WWE only able to sell out bingo halls.

Basic Thuganomics had better lyrics.
Exactly. He's shitting on his co-workers for no reason and deserves the shit he's getting for it.

I think its more the disrespect thing, sort of like if a new entry level hire started popping off in the the break room to all your coworkers that you suck at your job or something.
I think they're just not accustomed to being called jobbers by their coworkers even if its true.
"Huahuahuahuahhh!"
All building up to the imminent main roster debut of the guy that can't talk or wrestle and has three months of beginners class training, I am sure.
Josh is 6'7", 275lbs and a former athlete.
What the fuck is somebody like Bo Dallas gonna do to him? Shoot on him with some of the moves Brisco taught HBK?
Only chance of Bo Dallas has in beating somebody up is if he lands his belly on someones face and suffocates them with his mass and large surface area.

Job Squad 3.0 getting mad is hilarious.
Amazing.
It has nothing to do with whether they are jobbers or not.

Really anyone who uses wrestling vernacular sounds dumb and deserves to be mocked
