Work or shoot?

 

Nope. You can't turn this into a work, with all that's going on right now, no matter how chummy the McMahons are with Trump. It would be like making Ryker the Iraqi-sympathizing Sgt. Slaughter.

His tag partner:



And his half sister, by a black father:

Several stupid things 1) Forgotten sons suck 2) they were never over in nxt 3) being trumpy lunatics wasnt even part of the gimmick in nxt

but I wouldnt be surprised if Carano’s on the horn with his independent contractors today saying tone down calling fellow independent contractors pathetic and shitty either

 

Great segment from FS1 last night with Punk and Bryan.

 

So, was Drake Maverick's release a ruse from the start, or did they pull a 180 after seeing the groundswell or support he had?

I love Drake's character, but it would be a bit shitty if the whole thing was a storyline while all the others got kicked to the curb.

 

Renee Young on Breezango:
“Somebody call Tom Prichard, we’re about to see some Heavenly Bodies.”

Our queen

 

i wonder if these were contractual tricks. Like when an NFL team cuts a veteran after preseason, his locker stays, and he returns 2 weeks later for CBA/cap nonsense.

We’ve seen a buncha people return. Kurt Angle. Gulak. Now Drake. Maybe just on terms more favorable to wwe

 

This is one helluva thread:

 

I’m thinking it’s probably a combination of both. They released him, then saw how much support he had, so they turned it into a storyline.

 

Does anyone understand Fyter Fest?

2 wednesdays and the graphic says 10 pm? Is it like 4 hours of aew those nights or was dynamite getting bumped back for a Closer reunuin or something?

 

That's my guess, too. I think there's a fair chance some of those who were released and haven't signed elsewhere will get a chance to return when they go back to live shows and have more revenue coming in.

 

Pretty heavy clip from Backstage. Punk choking up when the first time he saw a tattoo was his grandfather's concentration camp number.

Too bad the show gets saddled with a pretty shitty timeslot. Without being under the full control of WWE, they're allowed to voice their opinions, like Punk outwardly criticizing Trump, or the group bashing the Jeff Hardy/car crash storyline.
