We live in a world more and more niggas get behind a mic &yap about legacy content constantly.
If you wanna dismiss the social media, mainstream media, content creator ecosystem, etc to “niggas with no life”…then sure.
But there won’t be a time (sadly) where niggas won’t bring that shit up when talking about a Cole’s legacy. I wish that wasn’t the case bc I agree with your premise that it isn’t a big deal…but I also live in reality. And it’s wishful thinking to feel it won’t be a thing going forward.
Justin actually said it correctly. Stat is tweaking. I didn't change his career or any shit like that. But ppl won't forget it. The dumber ones will overreact like Mal, Ak, & Stat, the logical ones will point out how he should've never responded in the first place outside of a sub on MDL at most instead of foolishly jumping out the window due to social media pressure/instigation, & the d-riders will try to tell ppl they SHOULD forget about it bc "he took the highroad & apologized like man".
But at the end of the day, his legacy should remain in tact with this being a relevant caveat to be discussed.
Stat Quo argue that, the battle damaged J Cole’s career and it changed the way a lot of people see him. When J Cole backed off the battle; he really just showed us, who he is as a person. J Cole on “Heaven’s EP” song said, “Some people say that I'm runnin' third, they threw the bronze at me
Behind Drake and Dot, yeah, them nggas is superstars to me
Maybe deep down, I'm afraid of my luminosity
So when you see me on red carpets, I'm movin' awkwardly”; he’s literally telling us on this song that, he’s just playing a character; on the other hand, Kendrick Lamar and Drake always move like number 1 without asking for acceptance or approval. And by the way, Drake and Kendrick would never say that, they are number 2 or 3; they always claim number 1 and they act and move exactly like that. J Cole just happened to be talented but he’s not willing to compete for the throne. J Cole didn’t just damage himself, he damaged his fans credibility to debate his spot as one of the greatest, so now they can’t even rank him as top 5 all time.
The allure of the WWE and the fact her husband’s tenure in AEW wasn’t great may have been a factor in her choice….but it sucks for fans bc WWE wasn’t never gonna give her a real shot.
Like literally in terms of matches wrestled. TK is HARDLY the pinnacle of properly showcasing his women’s division.
Athena, Deonna, Aminata, & even Mina to degree haven’t booked the greatest there. But at the very LEAST we get to see them wrestle if we want to. We may have to watch ROH which isn’t on TV…but we still get bangers if we tune in & I imagine they’re all getting paid beyond well. Again, not ideal, but it’s better than catering every week.
Just imagine the bangers we’d have gotten from Jordynne if she wrestled in AEW. Her vs. Athena ALONE would’ve been cooler than anything she’s done in WWE. Even it would’ve been on a ROH PPV. Her in the Owen? Like come on…
I approach this season with a renewed level of positivity & I maintain my stance that Perk is a moron….but he’s not wrong here.
For his entire career he’s been an upper-echelon #3. Not a bonafide #2. He has to make that leap if we want to win a title
"Bam is on the clock. The Heat has done everything right by Bam -- paid him on time and haven't put him in trade rumors. Bam has never averaged over 20 PPG in his career..."
Kendrick Perkins putting the pressure on Bam.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have interest in signing Dalton Knecht to a two-way contract as he has cleared waivers 🐺
Knecht was recently waived by the Los Angeles Lakers and is currently an unrestricted free agent.

Black women, I love you, but explain something to me. 😭😂 Why is borrowing other races’ hairstyles acceptable, but when other races wear braids, it’s suddenly a cultural issue?
