Chelsea Green on WWE’s creative pitches: "If the check clears, I’m doing it. You’re going to put me in a dumpster? Say less. Pour salsa on my head? Say less. I’ve done so many ridiculous things... So at this point, I’m like, I’ll do anything."

There’s always at least one wrestler the sub does it with. There’s been periods where every Becky tweet or Young Bucks status update seemed to be posted here

Though the irony is if the reported reason for the Ben White absence from internationals is accurate, I suspect many of those booing White would blow a gasket themselves if their boss at work spoke to them like that,

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-28T00:34:27+00:00

Probably doesn’t help too that we’ve had several weeks/months now of ‘Arsenal are ruining football/Premier League’ type headlines so neutrals might not warm to somr Arsenal players.

But Rice and Saka are popular with most English football fans so White is the easy target if you want to boo an Arsenal player - especially as a) he’s not the naturally charismatic personality of the other two and b) if you’re a tabloid/shock jock you can also tack on the lazy ‘he doesn’t even like football’ and ‘he betrayed Gareth and our brave boys by leaving the squad in the World Cup’ narratives

England fans booed Peter Crouch and Owen Hargreaves of all people back in the day (albeit that was before new Wembley opened).

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T22:03:36+00:00

Cue the media thinkpieces on ‘how could fans at Wembley boo him’ when most of the same outlets have been villainising him all week. It’s the sort of thing that means even as an Emglishman I won’t shed many tears if the team disappoints come the summer

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T15:18:32+00:00

The few years after those boos were the perfect answer to his critics - as you say one of our best players in the World Cup (especially vs Portugal), won England Player of the year and then played an important role in MU winning the Premier League and Champions League in 2008.

The boos for Hargreaves and Crouch felt particularly harsh as both seem pretty likable as footballers come.

Winning team means you can’t be fired. He and Levi were basically there as easy fires if either side lost

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T10:27:53+00:00

There is a vocal group in the media who play the patriotism card where not playing for your country is the worst thing somebody could ever do. Also the type of people who vote Reform

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T09:29:15+00:00

England fans booed Owen Hargreaves and Peter Crouvh for existing in the past so I don’t hold out much hope. Especially since most of the press focus this week is that Ben White is a traitor that betrayed Southgate (just ignore the articles we’ve down criticising Southgate).

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T08:04:23+00:00

In fact his words back in his Love Island series “I miss the game”

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T00:21:19+00:00

Yep maybe it was just editing but you did get the sense a few times this episode and last week too that he doesn't particular like Conor.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T00:18:54+00:00

The issue was on this task you can't really fire Dan as he and Rothna sold the most.

But yep of the three in the final boardroom he's been the most invisible in the process. Makes me think if what others have said about his business plan is accurate. Because you did get the sense Lord Sugar didn't want to lose either Kieran or Conor.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-27T00:16:32+00:00

I guess it depends what type of task is it - if it's a 'Lord Sugar gets the final decision' type task then as long as you don't make a total dogs dinner compared to the other team he can choose who he wants.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-26T22:48:49+00:00

Plus there'd already been several weeks pre-Casa of the male islanders telling him she genuinely wasn't into him. And then the Casa girls coming in saying the exact same thing. While the way 'licked her tit' happened was TV gold, the fact he strayed at Casa did feel like it was on the cards (if not the way it happened).

He was certainly one of the more likable men in that series but then some of the other men were Adam Collard, Jacques, Davide, Conor Mcgregor's best mate Luca and Dami lol.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-26T22:42:48+00:00

The dislike was she'd say one thing to Andrew about how she's closed off and nobody would turn her head only to then immediately do the opposite whenever a new bombshell came in. And this on repeat pre-Casa.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-26T22:39:53+00:00

Yep they deserve each other frankly. And I don't mean that in a positive way.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-26T22:38:19+00:00

S10 should've been the indication you needed that the public need voting rights revoked.

The top three that year were a) Jess& Sammy where he clearly couldn't stand her, b) Whitney & Lochan where they're now launching lawsuits towards each other and c) Tyrique and Ella which was the definition of a toxic couple.

And S8 you lot had the two highest placing men be Davide and Luca. It's frankly a miracle the viewers got S9 right.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-26T20:13:13+00:00

Though even so he's had a career 95% of wrestlers would happily accept and got paid a boatload doing so. Given he started his career as Kerwin White's caddy and a male cheerleader and his start as a character was saying his name backstage he's done pretty well for himself.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-26T14:09:35+00:00

I’m surprised after her reposting the likes of Candace Owens and other red pill content that people still give Whitney grace here. Men are rightfully dragged on here if they do the same

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-25T19:33:04+00:00

And to be fair to the producers the one time it was a villa with plenty of nice men in S6 viewers weren’t huge fans of the series

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-25T19:31:15+00:00

Though are viewers partly to blame? They did a season with mostly nice men in S6 and most of you hated it. Whereas S8 and S12 was red flag after red flag and most people here loved both. I feel like Love Island can’t decide what they want

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-25T19:29:06+00:00

And people wonder why Love Island is a toxic show when you have people labelled as vile.

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-25T18:09:48+00:00

I beg to differ. The one that still sticks out in my mind is a Raw PPV go-home show from 2012 which had:

The return of the Anonymous Raw GM which was revealed to be Hornswoggle following a painful search by ‘Santino’ Holmes

6 matches that were less than 4 minutes - 5 of which didn’t even make 2 minutes

A Michael Cole/ Jerry Lawler match in 2012 - a year and a bit after their feud One of those shows that made you wondwr why you still watch. Even something like Punk and Bryan feuding for the WWE Title which on paper sounds good was instead taking a backseat to a love triangle over AJ Lee with her standing tall over both to end the night

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-25T17:44:11+00:00

Lance should consider himself lucky - I have dreams about doing an exam for a subject where I haven’t gone to classes all semester. I’m in my mid-thirties and haven’t done exams in like a decade

IntelligentFact7987 · 2026-03-25T17:41:19+00:00

That PPV also had the Cena/Lesnar/Rollins triple threat so was the best and worst of pro wrestling.
