You guys sure do like to talk about who's trolling.

"Meta discussion" should probably go on the bingo board.

WWE's official statement: “Subject matter this personal is only approved as a result of the strong advocacy of the talent themselves. Notwithstanding that, WWE is ultimately responsible for what airs in its programming.”

Are we for sure certain that Charlotte could not have come up with the idea herself, as WWE claims? I'm inclined to say that notion is bullshit because it was the only conceivable reason for making that segment the main event, and I doubt very much WWE would book a main event based on a talent's suggestion for a line, but at the same time, maybe they just wanted to have a women's segment for a main to cash in on the Rousey shit, and Charlotte wanted to make the most of it in terms of generating Buzz?

even if she did, releasing a statement throwing her under the bus is pretty dumb considering you have the final words on what is and what isn't on the show

if you want to apologize, you release a statement that says "we're sorry", not "it's HER fault but WE'RE sorry"

Embrace your trash, WWE. It's the only reason people know what you are.

There's a difference betwween going full OTT Soap Opera and pulling in real life drama/pain. The former is fun, the latter sucks if it's used badly (you can get away with a cheap shot, but turning into a whole angle? Bad idea.)

I think their statement is pretty innocuous. They explained their policy without defending it and accepted accountability for what they air. No one should feel the need to apologize, except perhaps Dave Meltzer but I won't lose sleep over that.

"notwithstanding" fucking lol

but yeah keep defending assholes. billion fucking examples of awful shit companies and bosses do, yet they're still defended by asshats at every chance. "you know what you signed on for *never explicitly said in anything with legal binding*"

pls feel sorry for the rich whites

That's the funny part is that Paige isn't getting any of the heat because everyone knows where it's coming from.


If we were in retro-verse and Reid had died and Russo made a similar statement during his feud with Ric, that would have gotten a ton of heat and built to the feud. Where as WWE is so scripted and streamlined and phony 'family friendly' that shit like this is so out of place that it's more baffling and cheap.
Click to expand...

Exactly. I was explaining that to someone today. Mentioning Reid Flair does nothing to further this feud. Paige is getting zero heat because everyone knows the intricate details on how wrestling works now. Everyone is furious at the company because everyone knows that, unless you're a very very top star, all your promos are written by someone else and are to be performed to the word, so everyone knows that line was written in for Paige to say, not something that she just came up with.

In fact, 30 years ago, Michael Hayes was involved in a really bad-taste angle with Mike Graham where he made fun of his father Eddie Graham for committing suicide.

WWE putting out a statement that it was Charlotte's idea is fucking hilarious because there's virtually no one on earth who would believe that, especially since her parents have already said publicly that she had no part in coming up with it, but isn't at a point where she's able to veto things.

The original upset was somewhat too big for what it was, I was more offended by the acting in that segment than the actual quote

but the statement they released triggers me, it's real dumb

The official statement is so ridiculous.

"It's Charlotte's fault. We'll be good guys and take the blame so that she doesn't get the blame, but it's her fault."

I'm harshly critical of many CEOs and big business types. Vince McMahon is Little League bad by comparison. Trying to tie what is essentially a non-issue to everybody not in the Fliehr family into generic liberal outrage at "rich whites" is just silly preening.

Sunny Mac's controversial gimmick post a few hours back remind me that I actually encountered someone who proudly considers themselves a gamer gate member in the flesh today.
Their viewpoint on things was certainly...something.

In another chapter of "toxic relationships", Melina tweeted a picture of prescription cialis bottles that were under Morrison/Mundo's name, which of course also happened to have his personal address on them.
