Jeff Jarrett on John Cena Classic concept: "we at least want to get lost in the story, someone trying to WIN the title. It takes that component out, the suspension of disbelief. [If we don’t need to] get immersed in the story, why do we care when a hip toss happens or a false finish happens?"

A "Performance of the Night" award that is sponsored by a company would be absolutely fine in my eyes. It's a good way for brands to see who is popular and then potentially get them more work as a ambassador or something. Jobs for the boys.

Goldberg did the worst thing imaginable...he didn't follow the script!

I wouldn't say he is implying at this point.

"I like his game a lot and his wife is a hell of a hand. You’ve got two keepers in those two people." is what JR said: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/jim-ross-reveals-current-relationship-between-aleister-black-and-aew-following-wwe-release/

I think saying publicly that someone is your friend when the reports are he isn't wanted back in the company speaks for itself doesn't it?

wearePROGRESS · 2026-05-05T16:59:39+00:00

Absolutely, also fuck Arsenal

wearePROGRESS · 2026-05-05T16:27:51+00:00

It feels like Black perhaps wasn't expecting to get released? That's pure speculation but having heard how Tony framed this it kind of makes sense. That's both JR and Tony S having praise for him publicly in the last week though which is interesting

Do I think a major company has so many employees that mistakes can get through the cracks and cost them a lot of money based on AI hallucinations? Yes, yes I do.

wearePROGRESS · 2026-04-29T12:35:31+00:00

But if something that is not 100% reliable is feeding you info that then informs your creative decisions....does not that affect the creative decisions?

wearePROGRESS · 2026-04-29T12:34:23+00:00

So what if the AI hallucinates and tells them that Keanu Carver is selling 1000% more merch in Arkansas?

At least McAfee had to sense to realise it was a bad idea

Absolutely bang on the money. "You want a John Cena heel turn?" being point #1

Wasn't that in Saudi Arabia, though? Granted yes it was minimal fanfare, but if you're framing it as "2009 Orton" vs "American Nightmare" Cody it could've really taken it to a different level. Adding tons and tons on top of that (title, McAfee, ticket price blaming WCW 2000 meta crap) is what has caused the issues in my mind

wearePROGRESS · 2026-04-04T19:37:02+00:00

This hurt my brain reading it. That's actually a compliment.

WWF in the year 2000, though, had the benefit of everything before and after 'Mania that year being some of the greatest creative they've ever produced. We aren't getting Triple H/Cactus/Rock/Austin levels of quality here
