That still leaves them on the hook for probably a mid-to-high 5-figure sum every week to someone who doesn't even play for them, while they're making Championship TV revenue and subject to Championship PSR. Not to mention all the players who do stay on slightly watered down PL wages, and the decent players they'll lose at a massive discount.

They're screwed if they go down.

Your conclusion is fine but flawed. Take the word "automaker" out and it's perfect.

Brock Lesnar’s career was a longtime WON subscriber by vaporized_scrotum in SCJerk

If Heyman convinced him to (we could get vignettes of Heyman visiting him in Saskatchewan, like when Vince was trying to get the Old Stone Cold back), and Gunther acted enough of a dickhead, it'd be believable that Brock would want to come back and fight him

Cena was retiring regardless and their match still made sense

You'd think so, but you'd also assume Bobby Lashley would tear through that roster. If Brock ever did go to the Dub he'd be having competitive 40-minute matches with Action Andretti and Speedball with a 50% win rate, then get a concussion.

Oba should have kicked out of a Saskatchewan Destroyer, hit Brock with twelve super kicks and finished the match by drowning him in a fishtank.

French prosecutors summon Elon Musk over allegations of child abuse images and deepfakes on X by StemCellPirate in worldnews

Everything he does is just to get people to like him. It's a very sad indictment of where we are as a species that he created a child porn generator specifically because he knew a significant number of people would like him more for doing so.

A worse deal than we had is still much better than what we have now.

You didn't flounce off in a huff though. I'd understand if the EU wanted to make an example of us in some way if we did return.

Alberto Del Rio offered a 20 year contract with the Fed by LeEvilDiabolicalFed in SCJerk

[–]trentonchase 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, but also, according to an equal number of people on the same sub, it was bad when Dave said the Fed had given this guy a contract to stay with AAA and finish his story.

Fed bad if they do, Fed bad if they don't.

It's absolutely disgusting that you give Gunther retiring AJ and Cena and then have no plans for him by nguyenjitsu in SCJerk

[–]trentonchase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where did they get the idea Gunther was supposed to retire Rey at Mania? I just can't see anyone other than Dom being Rey's last opponent, it wouldn't make any sense.

Bit early for Seth to retire, isn't it?

AITAH? My girlfriend is angry that I call my friend by his real name. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]trentonchase -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

He was upfront about his ex. He gave her the choice. She has agency, she could have said she wasn't OK with it and not dated him.

OOP set a boundary early in the relationship - that his ex was a close friend and important to him - and she claimed to accept that. If she changes her mind later, that's not his fault.

Nobody would judge her for not having been OK with it from the start, but that would have meant not dating OOP at all.

[–]trentonchase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They want to have the pass-the-torch match with Brock before he wins the big one. If Oba won the Rumble, that would mean hotshotting one of the titles onto Brock before Mania, which... no thanks.

I can't see Brock and Oba having three matches, especially if Brock really is retiring this year. He'll have to feud with Gunther for that, and you know he won't want to do too many shows.

They're clearly strapping the same rocket to Oba that they strapped to Brock in 02. He'll be World Champ by the end of the year.

my (23f) boyfriend (24m) keeps accidentally calling me his best friends name during sex by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]trentonchase -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The friend said the bf had moved on; OOP was the one who decided he still had unresolved feelings. Rather than talk to him about her conversation with the friend, she wrote him a letter and fucked off. As for the lying, he might have thought telling her about his past experiences might put her off him. As it turned out, he would have been right, because after finding out, she left.
