So Cena doesn't exist?

That's Brock
disgusting burial of the entire country of japan
Cena has his haters.
Ambrose could probably get a solid reaction in every arena on the planet right now.
Full time only.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the endless Fanduel/DraftKing ads on every single podcast ever (wrestling or not)

He's also railed against "high spot-ckteers", burying every American wrestler under 6' 200 pounds and 95% of Mexico. He's driving a steam-powered shovel right now.
Some old colleagues of mine in New York are investigating, as well. I've told them I hope they drop the hammer.
Why hopefully? No other company is dumb enough to pay to advertise on podcasts with manchildren talking about wrasslin and kideo games
Vampiro did this too. It's like Stone Cold's podcast was made for me

It is actually stunning how badly they fucked Dean up after the Shield breakup. Instant hot feud with Rollins into losing to a TV. You are 100% right, Dean booked right could be over everywhere and anywhere

Disgusting is a bit strong.
It was a commentary on selling, and how you can turn an armbar into a 4 min clinic.
Don't worry they still got Crunchyroll, Squarespace and Loot Crate.

I knew when Dean came out with a hot dog stand/cart, it was all over for him.
Well the "strong style" portion from Raven was, rather than needing to strike someone as hard as you can stopping juuust short of 100% full force striking someone in order to convey realism to the audience, you should be conveying a sense of realism without needing to be anywhere close to being real.
He thought the pride in "strong" was silly because why would you want to take that toll on your body and the opponent's body when it's pro wrestling, not UFC, and the toughness is appearing tough, not being tough.
As a fan who cares. But I liked him laughing about "strong style" from a wrestler's perspective: so much extra harm and damage and pain when, if you do the job right, it's a much harder road to get to the same product.
Can I interest you in a free audio book from Audible?

This is for insider trading or something close to it
Seriously, one or two really strong feuds and Dean is that top guy. I guess they just don't see it. Need more solid midcarders. To go on the pre-show.
I thought the Nickelodeon gack stuff inside the MiTB briefcase was worse but yeah, it went off the rails real quick. Everyone seemed to love it at the time anyway.

It's a work, friend, when the legislators you (as in the NFL) buy off attach a rider about Internet gambling enforcement to an appropriation bill for national security that specifically states that gambling does not include "participation in any fantasy or simulation sports game" so that a vote against NFL and fantasy/gambling also becomes a vote against national security.
More CougarLife.com ads; fuck DraftKings and FanDuel.

I still don't see how this is "insider trading" as I don't even know what they are trading. Algorithms on what the projected points are?

That was nearly a year ago!
And then there was this at last year's Hell in a Cell:
And then there was the exploding TV at TLC 2014:
In less than three months, they made Ambrose look like the biggest moron in the world. Who could possibly root for a guy this stupid?
"Insider trading" is an inelegant term for what's occurring because it makes one think of buying/selling/shorting stocks based on inside knowledge, whereas here it's not as concrete as "drug to be rejected by FDA tomorrow, sell stock today."
Employees of the companies are using insider information about the selection rate of players in fantasy lineups, that they're only privy to because they work for the companies, and using that to maximize their lineups for entries in the biggest competitions. That's precisely how to win the biggest competitions: finding the market inefficiencies in "sleeper" picks relative to their pricing.
You don't win with a lineup of Rodgers, Gronk, and Peterson because everyone will have those players. You win when Dalton, Lamar Miller, Kyle Rudolph, and Anquan Boldin all drop monster weeks and you've maximized your fantasy dollars across the best spread of low-selected players who are most capable of breaking out.
Here's a mediocre analogy: it's insider knowledge to enhance your chances of winning a lottery every week by knowing which 5 balls in the 1-60 were taken out of the bucket.

Has Dean had any decent singles matches that did not include Seth Rollins?

Can't blame Ambrose for getting the Wyatt treatment. Doesn't do anyone any favors. People talk about Cena killing pushes. Wyatt's looking to take that spot for sure.

vs. John Cena on Raw after Mania
Even so both companies are carrying out investigations, on a matter that supposedly didn't have any impact.

Dean lost to spooky ghost and a TV.
Roman had to deal with one of the worst Rumbles of all time
Seth is a comedy jobber World Champion (??!?!)

How about this fine render of Kevin Owens from this years hit installment of the Official Video Game for World Wrestling Entertainment, courtesy of the people at Yukes!
They put as much effort into their render of Owens as Owens puts into ______________.

You can master all the titties you want, but when you job out to Hatsune Miku, you're done as a potential top babyface.

From the article
And Vince absolutely should be mad. So should RuRu. Lana really fucked up and DID shit on a terrible story, but shitting on it doesn't make it any better. It's pretty shitty, as an employee, to do that.
I feel that. As lame as fuck as the story had been, it was leading to bigger and better things. Match made in Heaven 2 is dead.
So yeah. I think the whole thing sucks! I usually don't get mad about shit and I'm not literally mad, but this was pretty fucking dumb and total waste for what could have been.
Does Vince get mad when Stephanie talks about how she loves playing a bad guy on TV?

Why would he? She doesn't play a bad guy on Twitter or Instagram. Rusev does.
Fuck THAT. It's ONE MINUTE and some change long. Way too long. One of the worst.
I mean Review-A-Raw and Wai have terrible intros too, because they last about 20 minutes until they get to the show. Once that's done, it's gravy.
You do realize you are making zero sense right now, right?
Sometimes you just need to stop working the character, like Rusev and Lana.
This is real life.
