    AJ, LA Knight, Owens and Orton were in other matches, which is 80% of the main storyline & Cena was there for most of the fall. Sheamus & Mysterio are also hurt & Solo is attached at the hip to Roman.

    so yeah, that’s really it.

    Their roster was more stacked than this 6 years ago before they had most of their best workers make the jump to AEW lol

    trips fumbling this hard should probably put to rest all theories that TKO knew of the lawsuit or planted it

    these guys were fucking clueless that this was coming

    did HHH actually say that?!?
     
  8. Cody gonna be running PR for WWE the second he retires. Or just flatout run the company lmao


    And yeah. I refuse to believe that HHH didn’t know anything about what came out.

    Yeah I think HHH is just ill prepared to answer questions like that. He definitely knew something. The more I think about it, the more I am disgusted by his answers. Dude should have just said no comment for legal reasons rather than coming off as an arrogant, clueless asshole. What a mess.

  10. They should’ve trotted out Nick Khan or Ari out first to answer anything like that. HHH is not prepared or trained to handle questions like that and fell on his face there

    Imagine having your chief competitor do this



    during a post PPV presser and somehow managing to be even worse

    like for real though, Tony's handlers need to ensure he doesn't have his phone on him tonight. After the grilling he rightly got for his handling of the Jericho stuff, plus HHH's responses, plus Tony's tendency to have meltdowns over perceived mistreatment... feels like he might be about to drive a lawnmower over a steaming pile of shit

    Something tells me that HHH probably thinks the accusation is bullshit

  16. Who has been closer to Vince over the last 30 years than HHH? He came in the door and within 6 months was running with Nash, Hall and HBK. 2 of them leave, he takes the heat and recovers to become a big star. Then marries the owners daughter. Is there a small chance he didn’t know about this? Maybe. But he knows Vince is a fucking piece of garbage.

    If mid-card guys and lower from 4 different generations say Mr. McMahon wasn’t just a TV character then I’m sure he gets that a lot more than they do.

    "Boring" is one of the top tending terms under Combat Sport on Twitter.

    WWE: this is the start of the greatest era in the history of wrestling ever

    I had missed the women’s rumble and went back and watched. wtf was up with Cole and the antlers

    Thought that was a much better show than a lot of the Internet seems to. I think it was definitely the best women's Rumble to date. The two matches in between were fine, but certainly weren't great. Men's Rumble was good, not great. The final four sequence was a lot of fun. I'm glad they just went with Cody straight up. It's the story they need to tell.

    Presser stuff was gross. Hunter handled that about as poorly as one could. Tony Khan in a furry hat levels of dog shit.

    All these wrestling Twitter weirdos are like " I only watch the royal rumble press conference to hear about the royal rumble " or "why bring down the mood of such a positive night?"

    Dude they're in a room where at least few of the people in it are actual journalists trying to do actual journalism. To ask any question of then the Vince stuff would be an act of gross journalistic negligence.

    It's weird it's like they think the presser is supposed to be like a "Talking Dead" style post show or some shit

    Meltz said Bron was straight up a replacement for Brock and did what Brock what was supposed to do.

    You're misremembering, he had the WHC title match against Bryan as the first match of the main card but won it in 18 seconds.

    He did have a pre-show match with Bryan for the US title on the Mania before that and it got turned into a random battle royal lol
