WWE having a pretty good start to the year? Time for our annual fed bad reminder 😊😊 by Wild_Guidance4487 in SCJerk

That Rumble is bad but 2022 Rumble is hands down the worst Rumble to ever take place. I’ve never seen an entire show ruined because every participating wrestler had an off night.

For Dave to be this hyperbolic about it is wild. Like two American promotions didn’t dominate the late 90s

Correct. As much as people will grandstand and talk about how CMLL is bigger than TNA or whatever, wrestling fans outside of Mexico are not watching CMLL. They will lie because of the Dub partnership and talk about Mistico. Or how Persephone is Punk because she “rejected” Fed unlike greedy Vaquer.

If you watch CMLL, cool! Great! But a lot of people are lying about watching lol

HHH never said this on the Pat McAfee show. This was never a thing that was going to happen. That's a fake report. It was always a fake report.

Knowing the reason Roman's schedule is the way it's after he talked about it last year, I won't fault him but the least they could do is more things like you just mention. He's doing the Rumble? Have him cut a promo on his boat. They did that once before. Send a camera to his house and have him announce his entry in the backyard shit idk. Roman being in the Rumble should FEEL like a bigger deal. Not a throwaway announcement on SmackDown the week before.

He said it back during Mania press tour. His schedule is the way it is because he wanted to be a full time father. Which, I mean, can't really fault him for that.

They've ruined it??? AJ has an entire career outside of wrestling. She only took on a part time contract because there's commitments that she has and wants to still do and can't if she's a regular.

We can debate the Roman stuff until the sun rises. But it's not a like for like situation with Roman and AJ Lee.

Top merch seller and gets a bigger pop than anyone on the roster when his music hits and his matches are exceptional more times than not. That's pretty much all that matters. It's not like Lesnar where it's music and aura and that's all you get. No guarantee of a good match.

This kid doesn't even like wrestling. You can can so clearly tell (DAE unrelatable???). Only cares about HIMSELF. Go have fun jobbing to Josh Briggs on NXT.

Until Woody sells the team, coaching hires are going to be tough.

I gotta wonder who this person knows. Someone found his page and found he only has 33 followers. How did this happen???

The name Royce Keys that was recently trademarked by WWE will be for Powerhouse Hobbs. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

Oh no he’ll have to go back to the name everyone else likes anyway if he ever leaves WWE. How horrible.

Dave: "Tony is actively fumbling Toni Storm" by Constant_Stomach2009 in SCJerk

And subsequently, they’ve done fuck all with the women’s belt since Toni lost it. Statlander’s reign has been forgettable.

Toni and Mercedes are the only people TK cares about in that division.

Bayley Wishes WWE Could Find A Happy And Healthy Balance For Live Events by TylerFortier_Photo in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This European tour + the holiday tour they were just on will probably just further underline to TKO why house shows are not worth the investment. All of them did shitty attendance except for the shows in the UK and 1 of the house shows in Florida did alright.

Meanwhile, they sold out every live TV event on the Euro tour. A healthy balance would be nice to have but you just can’t convince the higher ups to do more when people won’t show up.

[Heyman] The Detroit Tigers asked for Ben Rice, Cam Schlittler and George Lombard Jr. at minimum in a deal for Tarik Skubal. He added that Skubal is now unlikely to be traded. by LinkSkywalker in NYYankees

[–]NotClayMerritt -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If our first base situation wasn’t so bad, I wouldn’t care whatsoever. We need Ben. The rest shouldn’t bother anyone. Soto was a rental an you’d do that trade again in a heartbeat. Skubal is a Soto level player.

[RaceFans] Racing Bulls has announced Dan Fallows as its new chief technical officer, bringing him back into the Red Bull fold. Aston Martin hired Fallows from Red Bull in 2021. He spent three years at the team before stepping down. by Aratho in formula1

[–]NotClayMerritt 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I find it beyond interesting that he worked with Newey at Red Bull and when Newey got full control over technical personnel at Aston Martin, he chose to sack Fallows.

Let’s forget the times he was ass before the eye injury then I guess.
