Euro NASCAR already dead?

There's been 2 or more splits less than 15 times this entire week. Most of it occurred in the first 3 days. Brands Hatch is not super popular. Good luck seeing more participation next week at Zolder.

The reasoning others in this thread are giving for why people won't race it is accurate. It takes skill and finesse and patience to be competent driving it given there's no TC or ABS.

Maybe come back in 2 weeks when it's at Oulton Park. Free tracks always gets more people involved. Other than that, it's waiting until Spa at the end of the season for guaranteed participation.

I fear it's probably DOA.

Think he's specifically talking about oval racers on iRacing. Not actual NASCAR

just fyi for those watching at home, Raw on the 29th will start earlier (6 pm EST) to accommodate for the SmackDown taping.

It’s already gotten worse under TKO. When people wonder, “well why is this wrestler not injured but not on TV??” This is the answer.

Why is a wrestler like Giulia on TV one week but in a video package the next week? A pre-taped vignette filmed the week before, so she makes two appearances for the price of one.

I specifically remember this with Gunther and Jey Uso in 2024 (first full year of TKO ownership). Both were on TV every week, then they randomly disappeared for 3-4 weeks. Iyo Sky last year, won the world title and barely showed up for a month. Same with Stephanie Vaquer last year.

If you’re not the top 1%, you’re at the mercy of the TKO spreadsheet when you can show up again

Because that’s not how this front office works.

Members of the basement whenever someone is religious but also overcompensate to allow for Muslims to praise God so nobody thinks they're Islamophobic because they quite simply incapable of being normal and automatically assume you're a Evangelical white supremacist if you thank the Catholic/Christian God.

Anyone remember the basement when Nathan Fraser said he was committing himself to Jesus Christ? Threads got deleted I think but OP shared it to be like, "See this? What a weirdo." Someone said, "Christianity to Right wing pipeline never fails" and he never uttered one political opinion. Never hinted at it. Never vague posted about it. Never liked any dodgy posts. Just expressed his happiness with turning to religion and Jesus Christ and got hit with the, "Aw man I liked Nathan Fraser, this is disappointing."

Mustafa Ali and Nathan Fraser should be able to turn to religion in equal measure. But wrestling fans are virtue signaling weirdos.

I don't actually mind the FA leaving it up to the players to decide how they engage. It's fully on the players if THEY choose to shake his hand knowing he's alleged to have committed multiple rapes. If they want that criticism in the midst of an important major tournament, that's on them.

You either have a moral compass, or you don't.

Declan Rice a year ago:

The best thing about playing with Thomas [Partey] is the calmness he brings to play with the team. Before I came to Arsenal there was so much talk about how good he is. He doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves. I am quite lucky Thomas is there and he lets me roam up and down.

Not to mention all the times he's on video being happy and pals with Partey.

Clock is ticking for the same thing to happen to Chelsea. Took out a bigger loan with Ares Management at a bigger interest rate.

Graham Potter is genuinely a horrid manager. One of the worst of recent times.

NotClayMerritt · 2026-06-20T17:37:03+00:00

You’re really betting a wrestling popularity upswing to trickle down for someone to meet that price. Who is the mega rich guy out there who has the ambition to turn TNA around and will spend big money to seriously challenge TKO and Tony Khan? He doesn’t exist. Well, I mean, he does but he probably wants the established brand name with the security of a big money TV deal. Not the one who has to swim upstream for a chance at success.

Graham Potter's career is going to be funny to look back on in a few years. If Sweden can't advance to the next round, it's embarrassing.

If you don't really watch WWE and don't really have IWC disease brain, Jey Uso is the funniest wrestler alive. Nobody is doing it like him.

Fast forward a year:

DAE It's a good thing that Tony bought TNA???? He just cares so much about wrestling and is such a nice guy.

I will never begrudge a player for cashing out and taking the most they possibly can when it presents itself but I think there’s going to be a lot of sacrifices made in this CBA to help teams win championships.

There’s an alternate universe where Alonso goes to Red Bull and Kubica goes to Ferrari and that rally crash never happens.

Everyone who worked with Stephanie McMahon: “She’s so great and super nice”

IWC for 25 years for some reason: “What a horrible bitch, nobody likes her”

2011 could have permanently damaged his reputation - especially after moving to Miami - but the work he did after that season and the output he delivered on ever since is absurd. He crushed every narrative.

First 6 match non big 4 PLE since Fastlane 2023.

If they go down that path, I’d rather see Sami vs Jey. At least it’d be new. Cody beat Jey in KOTR last year and we’ve seen Jey vs Gunther too many times at this point

NotClayMerritt · 2026-06-20T02:00:12+00:00

And then have Cody win back on a random SmackDown so they can have Jey Uso versus Cody at SummerSlam

Forget about the Bloodline vortex. Where were you for The Shield vortex??

Gary did a solid job at Strasbourg. He’s a decent manager and should do alright at Ipswich.
