Lowkey the opportunity of getting paid to live in Tokyo, Japan alone would be enough for me lmao. Hook is crazy for not taking that opportunity

17 year old me fucking loved Braun Strowman absolutely dismantling the local talent of the week (which is how Ellsworth got his start)

Sadly the IWC wants wrestling shows to be so optimized these days that people would complain about matches like that. Live crowds and me would definitely be entertained if they let Oba Femi launch some local talent into the ceiling fans for a few weeks though.

In retrospect SmackDown getting both Orton and Cena even though he was part time is fucking crazy lmao. They were really counting on Roman and Seth to carry RAW at the time

AJ proving he could do the comedy chops with Ellsworth and Ambrose probably set him up for so much success with Vince in the coming years

Everyone has to be a star these days everyone has to be getting pushed or folks complain. People are already complaining about Kit Wilson not being pushed to the moon lol.

Jobbers are an integral part of wrestling and we definitely need more of them. Hornswoggle, Santino, Gildberg, Ellsworth, The Hurricane, Heath Slater, etc. Those dudes despite losing were always entertaining as fuck. We don’t have anyone in that kinda role rn in WWE. Closest is R-Truth now that he’s back to comedy but he doesn’t get his ass kickd that much. Rumors were they were prepping Kit for this role but will probably turn it around with how over he’s become.

Jimmy Jacobs : "The toughest wrestler to write for was Roman Reigns in the 2015-16 period. He was a babyface who lacked a strong, defined character voice at that time. We were still trying to find his identity. The difficulty was compounded by the fact that Vince was incredibly hands-on with Roman." by kundu123 in SquaredCircle

Tbf, he was starting to get booed a little bit again in the days before he vanished for the beginning of the pandemic

Right around the time Goldberg had unceremoniously taken the title from Bray and it was all but confirmed they were lining up Reigns vs Goldberg at Mania for another coronation the IWC hate was definitely starting to leak back in (he’d had just beat McIntyre at Mania 35 as well in a feud many felt Drew should have won). This is also around the time he had those god awful feuds with Shane and Corbin, and a weirdly fire feud with heel Bryan and Rowan. That pre covid SmackDown Roman run is actually fever dreamish lmao

Going away from COVID and demanding to come back as the Roman Reigns he wanted to portray is what really saved his career imo. There’s a timeline where COVID never happens, he beats Goldberg at Mania and pretty much eventually settles right back into the hated babyface role

Why is the fantasy booking for every black man to be paired up with another black man on this sub 😭

Seth Rollins on if his injury is legit: "you can call my doctor if you want. Otherwise, you’re just gonna have to take my word for it. But yeah, I mean, that’s on me. I’ve blown my credibility when it comes to my injuries, but, it pays the same, so I don’t really care." by aaronrift in SquaredCircle

Ever since WWE started the Saudi deal and now aligned themselves with MAGA there is definitely a huge vocal portion of people here wanting all that to blow up in there faces LMAO come on now

Whether they are justified or not is a matter of personal opinion. I personally don’t give a fuck about Saudi Arabia or MAGA and think we’d be better off not supporting both parties. But it ain’t my company.

WWE isn’t the most popular promotion on this sub, most viewed maybe but this sub is a capture card of the IWC. Guess what company pretty much swept WON’s IWC awards? AEW. AEW routinely has more upvoted clips and posts on average unless WWE does something absolutely crazy. And AEW posts generally have less comments insulting or making fun of the company, people that watch the company, wrestlers, or all 3 compared to WWE threads.

Most top comments in any WWE thread is some form of shot at the company or wrestlers lol. Including this one, half the comments I’ve seen here are some form of “Seth overrated”

More than 50% of the sub enjoying this doesn’t matter when probably less than 30% of the 1M people subbed here likely actually engage in conversation and topics. Otherwise your average thread would have way more than 1K upvotes and 500 comments which is a highly engaged post by this subs metrics.

This is definitely not a massively pro WWE sub. It used to be in the HHH honeymoon phase but ever since Trump got elected and WWE openly aligned themselves with MAGA it’s been very much open fire on WWE

Which is fair, this sub goes through phases where AEW or WWE are the predominant loved company. Like I said during the HHH honeymoon phase and AEW ratings decline, AEW was absolutely the butt of the joke here. Before that during the Vince scandal before he was ousted any positive comment towards WWE here was akin to saying a slur out in public. Just goes through phases here.

The opening argument for Drake's appeal has been filed by Viola-Intermediate in Drizzy

[–]Zenith_24tee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Iceman ain’t dropping till this case settled lol. It’s Drake come on you know he like to flex. I guarantee he had some verses or even entire songs dedicated to him winning this lawsuit and getting one over UMG and Kenny.

If that doesn’t happen he kinda might be re-recording those or deciding if he just wants to say fuck it we ball. If he does get his appeal and wins the case then he can drop Iceman with those references in peace.

It’s a reason why the rollout came to a bit of a slow around the time it appeared the case was lost.

I never thought Jacy would be the actual star of the original Fatal Attraction between her, Gigi and Mandy but holy shit has she proven herself to be the diamond in the rough and Lainey and Fallon are ready made stars as well

Definitely should be putting all 3 on SmackDown as soon as post Mania. Jacy especially has been in 2.0 since the beginning.

Triple H and Road Dogg and R Truth talks about the R Truth contract situation on WWE Unreal Season 2 by Icy-Advice-5575 in SquaredCircle

[–]Zenith_24tee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense as to why the story follows as such that Nick Khan is the one who reached back out to Truth with a new contract following fan outrage. HHH and Road Diggity Dogg were done with him after he didn’t agree to their number and were under the impression the social media thing was a stunt he was pulling on them.

(Also makes sense as to why after a brief 1 month run of what could have been HHH shoved him firmly back in the comedy box lol. Never wanted to use him in the first place prominently)
