Also I'm reminded of the interview where Brody King said he and his wife took Julia to the mall to find her HOB outfit, and it was like IRL wholesome Addams Family shit.

Missed that House of Black entrance, shit is amazing

Huge missed opportunity not having Double J host the slapfighting show call it SLAP NUTS

The way he said it was weird, but it's just saying their beef was prior to the GANG WARZ stuff.

"One in a Billion" sounds impressive until you realize that could describe literally everyone in India.

You guys all make great points, but i counter that by saying Penta is fucking amazing in lucha brawls. He made old ass Villiano IV look like Terry Funk at Triplemania.

I usually enjoy the ongoing video game banter on the crowd signs, but I legit want to fist fight the "Zelda is better than Mario" guy.

it would have shocked me to hear Gigi ending up getting Dennis Condrey'd out of the team, but she looked not-in-WWE shape last night which usually is the kiss of death for women there.

.....and in WWE when a female talent is involved that almost always means there was some kind of romantic entanglement with someone higher on the card.

It would be gross for anyone, but it seems extra gross for them to push Mandy as the hottest woman on earth then firing her for daring to monetize said hotness.

I mean that's kind of implied in "paid subscribers " am I right (I kid,I kid)

She's not going to be having work rate classics, but she's way better than her main roster stint. Plus her promos and character work was some of the best parts of NXT.

I would go out on a limb and assume WWE was the lesser of the two gigs money wise so for her it was probably a no brainer.

I wonder if the real issue was with the company not getting a piece of the action.

It is, but at the same time it is something advertisers would be wary of if it became A Thing that bad faith concern trolls went after. Still bullshit for sure, I'm just saying I'm not surprised WWE made the move.

I mean it's bullshit but also WWE is trying to sell themselves to advertisers so I get they were in a bad spot.

I wonder if this means she can be billed as Mandy Rose elsewhere since it's her real name (Rose is her middle name).

Mandy Rose was released due to her side hustle Onlyfans-like page.

Retiring was the ultimate admission of defeat and you know that's something that is going to stick in Vince's craw until his last breath.

Booker tends to annoy me on commentary, but him being a proud dad watching his student Roxanne win the belt was a good moment.

Yes, and Aussie/FTR had a banger match earlier this year so I wouldn't mind seeing them run it back at the Dome.

IIRC he stepped down from all positions of power (HHH took over creative, Nick/Steph running the business side) and Vince is just the primary shareholder. He gets the money but the only say he has is if the company is up for sale he has veto power. Plus SRS reported no one in the company is clamoring for him to be back either, as him leaving was such a morale boost it changed the trajectory of the battle with AEW.

It would be horrible from a stock price point of view to hand the company back to someone who has pending lawsuits.

Vince with the big Donald energy thinking he can just walk back in like nothing happened. TK's gotta be praying it happens since a big part of the reason AEW exists was because people were tired of Vince's ideas.

Vince is telling people he wants to come back now, that he got bad advice and that the story would have blown over.
