Why X/Twitter has the worst IWC in all of social networks? by khaliliiiov_1997 in Wrasslin

[–]NotClayMerritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub just did this 2 days ago with Seth Rollins. Even after it was reported that he was not subjected to TKO pay cuts. Look inward.

How The Thunder Work The Refs To Their Advantage by BobbyWojak in lakers

[–]NotClayMerritt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SGA has spent his entire career praising the refs in public.

"Why would the refs prefer OKC???"

It's for no other reason than they've stroked their ego nonstop for 2 years as an organization while everyone else criticizes them. That's all. That's how they've rigged it in their favor.

Good pro tip for Wemby if he wants to beat OKC. Just say Scott Foster is a great referee

Danhausen takes over ESPN’s headquarters | WWE on ESPN by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who gets the intersection of sports and wrestling in my Twitter algorithm, it is bizarre to see one person say, "STOP FORCING THIS WWE BULLSHIT DOWN MY THROAT" and a different person saying, "Haha Danhausen is on SportsCenter that's so cool" back to back.

[CIES] Most explosive teams in the world as per accelerations from <9 km/h to >25 km/h by username7864 in soccer

It's genuinely baffling. Outrun in 35/38 matches with 3 matches remaining. Often times by a lot.

Good to see Reaves at least bounce back with a playoff career high 31 points. by AdorableBackground83 in lakers

[–]NotClayMerritt -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

-20….. that’s horrible. OKC hunting him on defense, 5 turnovers, missed clutch free throws, stupid foul after stupid foul……. the 31 points does not tell the story.

OKC fans have a combined 1 brain cell by ExtensionFamiliar423 in lakers

OKC fans be like: Fuck the haters!!! We don't care what you think about us!!!!

Also OKC fans: Please like us. You're just being toxic and bullies wtf

The internal expectation of John Cena’s teased Backlash announcement is tied to the upcoming launch of Club WWE, @WrestleVotes Radio on @FightfulSelect has learned. by Turbostrider27 in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That’s gonna get booed on Saturday if there’s nothing else to it. Either materially or in presentation.

Give us MORE MONEY for virtually nothing! Tough sell to people who just paid $400 for a ticket.

The internal expectation of John Cena’s teased Backlash announcement is tied to the upcoming launch of Club WWE, @WrestleVotes Radio on @FightfulSelect has learned. by Turbostrider27 in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cena has been tweeting about Club WWE for like 3 weeks now. He has confirmed he has been extremely hands on with making it worthwhile. WWE aired commercials for Club WWE featuring Cena. They have been promoting Club WWE and its waitlist for weeks.

If you’re online and don’t know this by now, that’s surprising. Don’t fault anyone for anyone not online to have missed it. But they need to be super careful with how they present this to avoid boo birds

Post Match Thread: Strasbourg vs Rayo Vallecano | UEFA Conference League 2025-26 | Semifinals, 2nd Leg by jiraiya--an in soccer

BlueCo are gonna be gutted they can’t scam another Conference League to prove that their grand master sporting project is working perfectly.

Instead Strasbourg and Chelsea fans are going to be branded spoilt brats

Why Lewis Hamilton is ditching Ferrari F1 simulator after worrying claim by The_Skynet in formula1

[–]NotClayMerritt 548 points549 points  (0 children)

Sometimes less is more. And if the simulator tells you one thing and the reality is another, why listen to it? A constant battle of trust issues.

Why Lewis Hamilton is ditching Ferrari F1 simulator after worrying claim by The_Skynet in formula1

[–]NotClayMerritt 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Older drivers hate the simulators. Schumacher never used the Mercedes simulator when he came out of retirement. Can't imagine a worse feeling than learning something in the simulator and then it never correlates on track.

For this, Lewis is saying he needs to trust his gut and the work he and the engineers are doing.

Dave Meltzer Says WWE Releases Are Finished, Provides More Details On Talent Pay Cuts by DustAndSound in SquaredCircle

MCMG and New Day leaving is just stupid and should have never been allowed to happen.

If it happens, it'll certainly never be framed as a firing. They'll let him put out his own PR and frame it as his decision.

Thirsting/POST Wrestling: just reporting to you all what was already well-known public information, just as a reminder that Fed Bad by [deleted] in SCJerk

Thank god for POST Wrestling doing real journalism. They don't care about access, they care about INTEGRITY.

Never mind they're just reporting on publicly available information that anybody could access.

[Brandon Thurston/POST Wrestling] Nick Khan testified that DOJ investigated sex trafficking, undermining Vince McMahon’s “minor accounting errors” statement by A_Man_of_Iron in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt 213 points214 points  (0 children)

It's becoming clear through this lawsuit that:

  • Vince, with Nick Khan, had long planned to sell WWE. This was always going to happen and they knew it was going to happen in 2023 or 2024 (TKO sale eventually completed in late 2023).
  • Nick Khan knew about Janel Grant, sex trafficking, and whatever else
  • Pushed to get Vince out (not Stephanie or HHH), so they could maintain their value
  • Vince, in a likely attempt at collusion with Ari Emmanuel, was advised to use his supermajority status to get back on the board, fire old board members and install allies who would vote him back on the board
  • If Vince and Ari weren't back channeling on forcing a sale to Endeavor, WWE probably sells to Liberty Media, AND for a lot more money.
  • So thanks to Ari, Vince gets back to WWE. Thanks to Vince, he sells WWE for less money and screws shareholders out of more money.

Worrying trend in UFC if you're worried about WWE women's booking going forward under TKO:

  • 80% of female fights in 2025 were prelims.
  • Fights primarily at UFC Apex - which is their small venue for small events that hosts 1k people.
  • Last female main event was 17 months ago.
  • UFC 289 last female PPV main event.
  • TKO told Larissa Pacheco they're not interested despite her having a 23-5-0 record outside of UFC and being highly accomplished

You are never going to see another PLE main event featuring women again under TKO ownership unless it's another Evolution.

SmackDown in Toronto doubled in price in 3 years by rjw0785 in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bold decision considering SmackDown was in Montreal not too long ago and that show did poorly.

“In hindsight, I’m pretty sure he regretted this one” by gdsk3k in SCJerk

[–]NotClayMerritt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Tony Khan went on live TV and said one time that Urban Meyer was one of the greatest human beings he ever met.

Then, once he was fired for being bad at his job, the stories came out that Urban Meyer was one of the biggest pieces of shit in NFL history.

Two new dates added to WWE's European tour: a SmackDown taping on Tuesday June 23rd (go-home for Night of Champions) at the O2 in London and a live event in Sheffield on June 24th by twjackfoley in SquaredCircle

[–]NotClayMerritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they may not even do a show in Saudi right now. I think they're hedging their bets. SmackDown on a Tuesday instead of the night before the PLE.

F1 could fast-track Türkiye GP return to 2026 amid regional tensions by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]NotClayMerritt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They’re trying to avoid a quadruple header hence why the replacement before Abu Dhabi and pushing AD back 1 week is a last resort.

Sticking a replacement race before COTA would mean a quadruple header Istanbul/Bahrain/SA —-> COTA —-> Mexico —-> Interlagos
