@AlexisLend27759 @iboboprince336 You're misrepresenting what I'm saying.
I didn't say I liked Trick, I just said he would profit from having the case most.
Personally. I think Penta will probably take it. And challenge Sami Zayn

[WorkingStiffPodcast @WorkingStiffPC]

@cerocomados00 @iboboprince336 I don't think Bron needs it. Unless he's done something to piss off HHH. He's been in and out of the main event picture for quite a while now.
Penta just got done with an impressive showing against Roman. I think he's still in the title picture without it.

We at the Working Stiff Podcast would like to send our deepest condolences to the Family of Mike Ditka. I remember growing up, watching Bears games on TV... the man seemed larger than life....
Rest in Peace, Coach. See you down the road....

[WorkingStiffPodcast @WorkingStiffPC]

And you, Sir.... and I use that term extremely loosely.... Are just one of the 77 million things that are wrong with the states....
Ignorant, rude, incompetent and from the looks of your profile.... Stupid af....
Make you feel better to call people names and be a complete trash bag?
Enjoy the next few weeks, MAGAtard.... It's all coming to an end for you and your brand of idiocy....
And for the record.... The Attitude Era was probably the best era in wrestling in my lifetime.... So, no, I had no issues with what you listed.
In closing.... Go fuck yourself, loser.... See you at the midterms

[WorkingStiffPodcast @WorkingStiffPC]

@LaynieLuck Wow... seriously? I am beyond shocked at this....
320 days as champion and they can't even offer you a spot?
Well... onward to greater things, Laynie... I'd wish you luck, but, it's literally your name :)

@TheZoeySerrano Pardon my language.... But you're goddamn right you do...
Good luck on Sunday!!!!

Flair, McMichael, Malenko and Benoit. With Arn in the JJ Dillion role.
I know, I know.... Benoit.... But, As a wrestler.... and nothing more. The man was spot on.
Malenko was literally the man of 1000 holds. McMichael was damn good for a football player turned wrestler and I can't say a bad thing about Slick Ric.

@HeyHeyItsConrad Made a statement yesterday. And it's sparked quite the inner debate. I agree with what he said, but....

“AEW makes wrestling for fans, and WWE makes wrestling for investors.”

That’s a deliberately provocative way of describing a difference in priorities: wrestling as the main attraction versus wrestling as the foundation of an entertainment business.

The argument for AEW is that it appeals to people who already love professional wrestling—the matches, the different styles, the rivalries, and the possibility of seeing two great wrestlers push each other to another level. The appeal can be as simple as: “These two are incredible. Let’s give them twenty minutes and see what happens.” To that audience, the wrestling itself is enough reason to care.

The criticism of WWE is that the product can feel designed around making the brand bigger, safer, and easier to sell. From that perspective, wrestlers become marketable assets, moments become promotional content, and the show becomes a vehicle for the larger business. A fan might ask, “Was that a great wrestling show?” An investor might ask, “Did it grow the business?” Those questions can produce very different answers.

Where the quote really bites is when financial success gets used to dismiss creative criticism. Record revenue doesn’t automatically mean compelling television. A lucrative sponsorship doesn’t make a storyline satisfying. Fans aren’t watching a quarterly earnings report—they’re watching because they want a reason to cheer, boo, laugh, or lose their minds.

But the quote also gives AEW a little too much credit and WWE too little. Serving wrestling fans doesn’t excuse weak storytelling or assume that everyone wants the same kind of match. And a commercially successful show can absolutely deliver great wrestling, unforgettable characters, and emotional payoffs. Neither company has exclusive ownership of what fans enjoy.

The strongest version of the argument is this: AEW’s appeal is that the business should serve the wrestling. The criticism of WWE is that the wrestling can feel like it serves the business.

Both need to make money. The debate is about what fans feel comes first when they watch.

@justtheone_1 Jinder.... It was probably the most boring title run since Bob Backlund in '94.
