@EHuanglu 9 cents to the kid typing, what about the cost to build and service the AI? Also, why would any audience member choose to watch something BECAUSE it wasn't shot for real in any way? That's not a thing, but it makes good fodder on twitter.

I love when Cena’s mask slips and he proves he’s an alien. In the Simmons interview at one point he says “I love anecdotes” - as if that’s a thing some people aren’t into or aren’t aware of.

Triple H has spent his entire career convincing people that anyone but his contemporary peers (Rock and Stone Cold) are the GOAT, and that Raw speech for Cena was just the latest chapter of his campaign

Less of a did you know, more of a “are you capable of toddler level comprehension skills?”

Not a given with wrestling fans tbf

Did you know that the nWo "paid announcements" were a storyline device intended to portray the group as a separate entity interrupting the broadcast? During the group's early period, WCW programming would be interrupted by grainy, black-and-white vignettes that began with the phrase, "The following announcement has been paid for by the New World Order". This was designed to present the nWo as an outside force with its own funding, which was later explained in kayfabe by their "financial supporter," Ted DiBiase. These segments also allowed producers to edit Hulk Hogan's promos into the shorter "sound bite" format used by Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

@SimonMiller316 If they did one of those "this dog has been waiting years to be adopted" videos but it was Rowan's big spider form 2020 just staring at a tennis ball getting overlooked by families

Opinion | I hate politics. That’s why I’m going to love WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia.

Boycott this degrading, craven spectacle

@haralabob If a Castellon player was given 28 million dollars to do absolutely nothing by your biggest sponsor, would you know about it?

[Simon Longden @SimonLongden]

@BrotherOddysey 100% sincerity

Saw Sheamus’ Mount Rushmore of European wrestlers, mine would be Jody Fleish, Jonny Storm, Doug Williams and Paul Burchill (but specifically as the pirate gimmick)

Dana's north star for well over a decade now is figuring how to get the fighters hands out of, what he perceives to be, his pockets. UFC has found yet another way to leverage against the fighters ability to earn money and bonuses with this broadcast deal.

Ari Emmanuel and Nick Khan are working very hard for Trump, I wonder what they will get in return?

For those who love that he's back - you have no idea how dumb they think you are.

Brock Lesnar being cleared by WWE legal is like OJ being cleared by a jury of ill-fitting gloves

[WrestleTalk @WrestleTalk_TV]

The latest on Brock Lesnar's WWE return:

"Four weeks ago, WWE Legal cleared him.

"I do know, everyone figured this out but I can tell you also, factually, that the reason they didn't do the press conferences was because of this angle."

(Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio)

How can anyone watch Triple H explain with a straight face that Travis Scott was vital to the John Cena heel turn and still claim that Unreal has had any effect on Kayfabe is beyond me

@kambo__g There is no other way to read that scene, and it’s incredibly funny

[Simon Longden @SimonLongden]

William Regal low key telling Abyss that nobody gives a single shit about Bruce Prichard and his invented timekeeping is genuinely hilarious

[Simon Longden @SimonLongden]

@here_lulz Bruce invented something so he had a little jobby, and Chris Park is the only one in that moment who doesn’t know better yet to ignore him.
