TNT may fine them, but otherwise they can say whatever they want on cable.
Upper arena wasn’t available last time I went to Smackdown either but you could still sit on the hard cam side
Really wish they’d do this more often - has the attitude era feel to it
Wow that's pretty much a PPV quality card for Wednesday and Friday next week.
These guys don’t get their laundry done so they come out in white t-shirts?
Not a fan of the heavy use of profanity. When you notice how much there is, it's too much.
I finally disagree with you on something. Imo it’s never too much. That Lambert segment may have been the best thing on the show and a lot of that was the language.
SRS is good at his job and I like him at times but he’s a bit of a whiney ass. Not to mention he’s constantly picking fights with people and then blocking them. This was referring to Jericho asking the America Top Team who was on top.
He then went on to tell people not to post his opinions on Reddit all because he got flack for the tweet above.

Ya I saw that he should be above worrying about stuff like that - hopefully he does eventually
Yeah just watch an episode of American Horror Story. 😂
I was watching "We're The Millers" on Comedy Central and 'boner garage' made it through
he and Dave both need to stop acknowledging trolls. Seeing Dave argue with eggs with 4 followers is kind of sad.
He’s a damn troll. He gets great info, but he uses that as a throne. I’m sure he lurks this thread, so if you do SRS, get your shit together. You do good work, but then belittle everyone who doesn’t agree with you. Your ego makes you think that you’re the pulse of the wrestling fans when really you’re just riding the AEW coat tails right now.
Me too. I don't understand why anyone thinks they need to use profanity to get their point across.
Let's not be naive, it was definitely meant as a double entendre based on how Jericho stated it. Not justifying SRS going all SJW and concern troll about it, but leaving the audience with that as one interpretation was clearly purposeful.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed Jericho's promo and I'm glad he's back. Disappointed he didn't come to Cincy last week. Lambert needed to pivot from attacking AEW in general to attacking Jericho after Jericho started hurling personal insults.
I LOVE Adam Cole's entrance music and graphics. They really did right by him.
Having said that (and don't @me but...) I don't get the popularity of Adam Cole as a wrestler. I never watched NXT, but all I see/hear are "Storytime" and "Boom" and "Bay-bay" catchphrases and while he's good on the mic, he's built like the Young Bucks, and if you criticize the Young Bucks for their physique, you have to say the same of AC as well.
BUT I also see the attitude and charisma, and definitely see a lot of HBK in AC. I just wish Lambert talking about the 150 pound 5'8" wrestlers doing hella flippy aerial stunts and the opponent still kicking out at 2 didn't hit the mark so accurately.

AC and the Young Bucks...at least he looks like the oldest brother..... He is a good to great in ring worker and you spoke to his charisma. I like him as an upper midcard heel.
As for all the Lambert stuff, I can't be the only one hoping that Miro would have been the one to come out and challenge. I get Jericho and Jake Hager and it was a fun segment, but I just really like the version of Miro that would have to be in that feud.
There is never too much profanity in any situation. Lol.
To quote Tony Schiavone, “I use f—k like a comma.”
Sapp is right up there with Ryan Satin as one of the biggest douchebags (and there’s quite a few) in wrestling “media.”
Welp

Unless it’s Braun Strowman vs Rey Mysterio, physique doesn’t enter my mind when it comes to wrestling.
Sure the promoter wants big buff meatheads so the appearance of them in the ring beating up people is real, but I like CWA, NWA, and a lot of smaller territories that weren’t run on steroids.
The show is why I watch, the feuds, smart booking, “what’s next” if you will........
I legit am starting to think anything good from WWE is accidental and not by design.

- Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently reported Fox offered to help WWE sign CM Punk prior to AEW signing the former WWE world champion. This came after the promotion balked at what it considered an overly expensive asking price.
Not only that, but the report went on to state that after Fox offered to pay some of Punk's asking price, "WWE officials then said there were other reasons they didn’t want him, the attitude issues and such."
So WWE really had no interest in burying the hatchet and bringing Punk back. The article intimates that the feeling was mutual, since Punk didn't think they could ever bury the hatchet either.

Dirt sheet guys think they’re as important as the wrestlers themselves and it’s annoying. Hell, this place would be better without Twitter trolls and wrestler’s jock sniffers.
FFS...Welp

The US government has more important issues.
This virtue signaling douche can go f himself.
Exactly.
I’m not a fan of the WWE, but don’t work there, lol.
isn’t he the clown that was campaigning on the federal government should give every household $2000 a month or something?! Lol, nooooooo..
Twice this week I tried to order dinner (Beef O'Grady and Long John Silvers) on different days and they both closed at 3 because Americans are dead beats.
I do think this is more important than you believe it to be.
I mean, how many "independent contractors" do you know who are told that if they set up a twitch or cameo account on their own time and grow it with their own efforts, any money they make from it should be apportioned with the company they are contracted with?
How many "independent contractors" are explicitly forbidden to work for any other employer who would like to retain their professional services?
WWE tells them where to perform, how to dress, what to say, who to wrestle...the list of characteristics that weigh in favor of a wrestler's relationship with WWE as being employer/employee is virtually endless.
Despite being fairly conservative, to me, this looks like a pretty cut-and-dry case of WWE having an actual employer/employee relationship but labeling it as an independent contractor relationship to leverage and exploit the wrestlers to the highest degree possible.
Would love to see this adjudicated. In fact, I'd like to see a group of those who were released from WWE band together and seek to end this fiction that wrestlers are independent contractors with WWE, and seek back compensation from WWE. I'd also like to see WWE forced to return the percentage of money they took from wrestlers for money they earned on twitch/cameo/etc.
I should note that AEW lets their employees work in other promotions, have twitch/cameo accounts without sharing profits, and gives wrestlers talking points instead of scripts. I don't see AEW gouging and exploiting their wrestlers and making a mockery of their "independent contract" status like WWE is.

I've been seeing restaurants lately that just don't open some days. River Road BBQ will post on Facebook sometimes that they weren't going to open for the day because there wasn't anyone to work
Who wants "Story Time With K-mac?" Well going to do it anyway...LOL
Dynamite did 1,175 million viewers and a .44 in the 18-49 and .62 in males 18-49. So for the second week in a row it beat Raw in the demo.
I thought the numbers would be above 1.2 million.
