The matches were fine to good. The story stuff was mostly brand-on-brand-on-brand nonsense with a dash of the ongoing Lana/Rusev/Lashley horror (this time, Lana flubbed literally every line she had. It was remarkable). The highlight of the talky bits was Becky Lynch stating that she doesn't give a single shit about brands, which reaffirms her status as my personal hero.
petitioning twitter so that these three can only talk to each other and nobody can see it
Disagree, Tony almost never tweets non business stuff. Punk pointlessly tagged him and even liked his comment then Randy decided to interject and Tony just gave him a taste of his own medicine.

The third hour talking between Kevin Owens and Triple H and the promos building to Rey Mysterio VS Brock Lesnar were good. It reminded me of the quality you used to get back in the day when WWE desperately needed PPV numbers instead of sleeping through go-home shows.
“Trevor Murdoch can take care of himself, he’s the only man I’ve ever known who can strap a bucket of fried chicken to his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia”

Oh what the fuck.
Fuck off Cornette.

Didn't Trevor Murdoch himself get fired from WWE for being too racist?
I was always under the impression that he was fired because of drugs.
Huh, maybe it was Lance Cade who was the racist - there's a very good chance I'm mis-remembering, because they both fucking sucked and I had forgotten completely about them until this conversation.
The world of professional wrestling can be exceptionally slimy at the best of times. To give you an idea of how gross it can get remember that XPW owner and jailed pornographer Rob Black isn't even the scummiest wrestling promoter named Rob. I'm pretty sure before this thread is over at least one more wrestler will be Twitter canceled for saying some ignorant shit about people they don't know.
ONE FUCKING PAGE!
Also holy shit, Jim Cornette has been fired from most of the jobs he's had and most of the jobs he's had have been in the anything goes carny business of professional wrestling.

And IIRC he's never been fired from a job in wrestling for not being carny enough.
Cornette's comment is so weird to me. Like ignore the fact that the food choice turned it from a tasteless joke to down right racist. He was referencing the Ethiopian hunger crisis from the 80s. How is dunking on a 30+ year old tragedy helping anyone? I remember horrible jokes from that era, because the aid commercials were on tv a lot. Bad things happen and people are going to tell bad jokes about it, but to still be telling that joke now? To me that feels like it is something he references often. I mean the Challenger blew up in 1986, no one is going around telling those jokes anymore. At least I hope not.
You'd think Becky would just take him aside and say that this is just working against him, he doesn't seem to believe anyone else.
I assume that either she has, and he hasn't listened, or she's given him bad advice that really only works for her, which is to double-down constantly until she wins.
Remember when we thought things would change when vince was gone
I've been saying for a while the people who thought that were fools, but also lmfao how funny is this coming from HHH
The guy who ducked Bret at every turn after Montreal
The guy who didn't tell Chyna he was with Steph at the same time, she had to find out by finding hidden notes
The guy who kept ignoring Luke Harper's calls

Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
Which means that line was edited and approved by management
Fuck that
{Twitter, Everybody's doing it. }{Writing and Story Blog}
Lagana is a former WWE and TNA writer, and works for NWA currently. He also wrote the NWA tweet apologizing for Cornette.
{Twitter, Everybody's doing it. }{Writing and Story Blog}
Yeah...
I mean, that line is obviously an indictment on Cornette, who shouldn't be working for anyone.
But it's also an indictment on the people in charge of the company who let it slide.
What is wrong with literally all of you?

Oh what the fuck.
Fuck off Cornette.
I await the first MAN OVERBOARD match

Just in case you thought Seth might learn.
Comics, Games, Booze
The Punk chants during Seth’s match on Sunday are going be 2008 World Cup vuvuzela level, aren’t they
A coward who won't debate me
Get Lagana and Corgan to "resign" next pls

Has Jim ever left a single wrestling promotion on his own good terms? Like any of them?

Unless he's a surprise member of NXT's men's Survivor Series Elimination Match team, then yes.
(If I were in Vince's shoes I would be offering Punk ungodly amounts of money to make that happen.)
