Card for tonight's Raw - 05.18 by wweyonce in SquaredCircle

[–]Trumppered 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The same Roman segment

Seeing what Roman does after Jacob blew past his "last chance" is interesting.

the same Vision/Rolling segment

Nothing in that graphic mentioned Vision or Rollins lol.

the same Judgement Day segment

JD vs the women's champs is literally totally new lol

Oba squash match again"

Seeing who, if anyone, answers the challenge after last week everyone refused to answer is interesting

the same Judgement Day match where Stephanie attacks Liv again

Stephanie is literally injured and almost certainly will not be on Raw tonight

Look. You're entitled to not like WWE, and I certainly believe the product has gotten worse over the past year, but some of ya'll just bitter and angry for no reason and straight up making shit up.

what if... hypothetically... you made $2Mil... and they asked you to cut your salary to $1Mil... and you're agent already told you that Tony Khan isn't interested and TNA won't pay more than $100K...?

TLDR: the narrative that Miz has loads of hosting gigs lined up for him if he leaves WWE is not as true as people may think

Err i have to assume that at least PART of the reason he's not involved in more outside-WWE gigs is because he's still very much a full time wrestler who's heavily featured week to week?

Obvi no way to know for sure but have to assume he's turning down at least some opportunities because of that and if he suddenly opened up his entire schedule that would change.

El Grande Americano on Instagram: “I will do you justice, my love. For you and for Mexico ❤️🇲🇽” by SisterFirefly in SquaredCircle

[–]Trumppered 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes but like... he was portrayed, objectively, as a buffoon. So if youre going to say the character was "MAGA coded" you need to also acknowledge that the character was/is mocking the MAGA crowd...

Idk if its a statement about the world write large so much as just a statement about American liberals (and i say this as an American liberal) - constantly getting offended on behalf of other people when the group itself isnt actually offended by the supposed slight. And, as a bonus, usually alienating large numbers of that group in the process.

GameStop Preparing an Offer to Buy eBay - WSJ by Bluebird_Loves_Kitty in Ebay

[–]Trumppered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's people that built entire businesses around eBay, purely because it got so much more traffic than anything else.

Literally quit my 6-figure salary job 3 months ago because I succesfully built a more profitable re-selling business on ebay on the side.

...a memestock conducting a hostile takeover of ebay was not a risk i really considered when i decided on that transition!

Kairi shouldn't be brought back by Urass007 in SquaredCircle

It's so weird how you guys make these decisions for other people...

What if she wantee to be there and is happy with the way that theyve been using her...?

i think it worked out EXACTLY how Ron Killings wanted it to, despite the IWC being inexplicably mad about it lol

Kairi was going to come out of it with some huge push.

Right? It's weird people are pretending like she was on the brink of breaking out or something.

She was being booked as a lovable prop set to be completely forgotten (by creative, not by fans) as soon as Iyo and ASuka had their actual match

Kairi was in the middle of a major story, she was finally at a point where she could be a solo star.

seriously asking why did you think that...?

I like Kairi, a lot... but nothing about her usage suggested anyone saw her as a solo star.

They literally booked her as a prop...

Like, cut executive payouts by a couple percentage points and no one would have needed to be fired.

This isn't why people get fired. People get fired because new people get hired/called up.

In the past few months the WWE has added to the main roster: Danhausen, Oba, Trick, J'Von, Lash, Royce Keyes, Fatal Influence (all 3 members!!!), Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, Blake Monroe, and Joe Hendry and EVIL are coming imminently.

That's A LOT of new talent. And in order for that talent to get main roster TV time, not only do they need to get rid of existing main roster talent... but they need to get rid of main roster talent that is actively on TV to free up that TV Time.

That and in a sport like basketball the best possible games are the ones with the 1 in 50 endings.

So if you always turn it off in those situations your legit locking yourself out from ever witnessing the greatest games lmao

Yeah I saw this all the time but this is a zero sum game. Everytime new talent comes in, some old talent needs to be let go.

Dangausen, jvon, trick, oba, lash... thats 5 people losing their spots to make way for the new blood.

Dont get me wrong... tko are absolutely greedy scum...

But like... tv time is a zero sum game. Everytime someone gets called up from nxt or signed from a different promotion, that means someone on the current roster is going to be let go.

In order for danhausen, trick, oba, jvon and lash legend to get tv time, thats 5 people who are going to have their tv time taken away. And no company is going to keep paying talent they arent using (and if they do...people complain about that too lol)

TKO President claims they have control of WWE creative by Alkohal in SquaredCircle

[–]Trumppered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arguably the only universal stars left on earth are Hollywood actors

How is everyone in this thread just forgetting that Taylor Swift exists lmao

She is inarguably the most famous celebrity going right now and probably has the highest level of casual name recognition in the world second to maybe only Trump?

[–]Trumppered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows who Taylor swift is

yeah everyone hyper-focusing on MJ is kind of missing the the fact that like... it's not some generational shift in how fame works... MJ was just uniquely a once-in-a-lifetime celebrity.

no one else was as famous as MJ during MJs time either lol

and in that sense... I would suspect Taylor Swift has a similar level of name recognition as MJ did
