It was a good catchphrase. Oh you think that's something back in the day my old prude bus driver (well she was one on this day at least) actually turned off the radio after she heard this song say a certain word one too many times! Not to mention my 5th grade teacher often talked about one of his friends who liked to call Beaver Dam, KY "Beaver Cuss" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies don’t just dump such a huge swath of talent like that so consistently without some radical change coming down the road There's been 80 just this year, not counting the releases last year where in total it's been over 100!. It's been It's the only conclusion that make sense, especially as they keep citing "Budget Cuts". Otherwise there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. I really foresee them announcing Disney or (much more likely) NBC announcing a buyout any time now lol On 11/19/2021 at 6:34 AM, Bearcat-Doug said: They released Kross and Hit Row just weeks after moving them to the main roster and Lee had just come back. I think they were still doing those backstage segments with John Morrison up until last week so it does seem odd to release people that were actively being used on TV. Yup. Very much the right hand not having any idea what the left is doing. Aleister Black had a bunch of promo packages promoting his return, came back just to kick Big E in the face, then was released like later that week lol.

SpoonMan Abrams X | 697 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 In related news, Survivor Series was... something. For a PPV with next to no build and less then zero stakes, it actually wasn't a terrible show. Decent to Good wrestling. But absolutely none of it is the story coming out of it; https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/11/vince-mcmahon-loses-cleopatras-golden-egg-at-wwe-survivor-series/ (relevant YT clips to follow) Spoiler Oh and the Rock never showed up. Which is absolutely hilarious for a show not only built entirely around the 25th anniversary of his debut; not only promoting the shit out of one of his movies (which means Peacock was actively promoting a Netflix show all night lol); not only being the only thing consistently built to & teased for weeks (including an entire Battle Royal sponsored by Pizza Hut lol); but for this reason right here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writing team has to have more wellness policy violations than Randy Orton to come up with something that ridiculous. It really was. I'd have been willing to forgive it if, again, it had some stakes or something relevant to come out of it. Especially after it was forced into an entire PPV and then didn't get any sort of actually decent build or pay-off. Good for Theory i guess? Many and Much more better ways to build a new star. Vince really just needs to retire. I don't care who it is, anyone would be infinitely better at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have at least went back to the 1994 Bret Hart/123 Kid match or John Cena's debut match against Kurt Angle to see how to make the rookie look strong without getting the win. Even with a 3 hour show everything still feels rushed for some reason. Edited November 25, 2021 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rather uneventful. Rollins took the guy down with a chokehold and held him in it until security took him away. The guy sounds nuts. He was claiming that he did it because someone claiming to be Seth Rollins was contacting him online demanding that the guy send him gift cards to prove that he was a loyal fan and that he would return the money. Apparently the guy got a check in the mail that bounced, so he decided that he was going to beat up the real Seth Rollins for stealing his money.

If that turns out to be legit (and that guy hasn't been using heavy drugs), I feel bad for the guy. Simple minded people are easy to extort. Someone who would want to prove they were a fan by sending someone "temporary" funds had to be simple minded. Still, he clocked Seth Rollins and that's not right for any reason. Did any of that air on TV? I only saw two clips from fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonMan Abrams X | 697 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 AEW Full Gear was great. Their "Winter is Coming" TV special is next week, Tony Khan has said that he wants this month of Dynamite to be great, since starting next year Dynamite is moving to TBS (Rampage will still be on TNT) Last year is when Kenny Omega won the AEW World Title, this year is Adam Page vs Bryan Danielson (still crazy he left WWE) for the AEW World Title. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to be critical, but to me, voice consonance is important in those videos especially when its all voice over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
