I feel like anyone who gets neck or face tattoos is clearly someone who makes poor life decisions and thus shouldn't be trusted.

Why do we all hate Graves? I mean, the cheating, sure, whatever. Whose faithful nowadays anyways? But is there something else? I found him insufferable when with Saxton and co. But I actually love the dynamic between him and Renee.. Most times the commentary is my favoirite part of raw.

He's said some real dumb stuff on Twitter too

Graves and his wife have been separated for a long time, it's possible that he and Carmella started dating after the marriage broke down and the wife took offense at that. Either way, this is a non issue though slightly embarrassing for the company. Hopefully they don't turn it into an angle.

Graves is a sh*t stirrer on twitter. I think his commentary work is tired and he's not at all clever or funny. I don't know him personally but everything I do know about him leads me to believe he's an insufferable douche. His drunk twitter rants about Bill demott and trying to drag Punk down to his level all but confirm his doucheness.

Bill Demott is a POS anyways, he needs to be slammed. Same with Punk, he's burning every single bridge he has. Out of all the things Graves has said and done, you bring up two justified ones, lol. :lol:

He stood up for Demott and his Punk rant, whether in his mind justified or not, came off like a jealous ex girlfriend. The worst part is when he does these childish things he doesn't log off, he doubles down and tries to fight all of the comments.

I can't believe people care about this

That explains everything. Jakey has a real thing for Punk. Any criticism of him will not be tolerated. He also has me blocked, so he'll never see this post. Nice!

Didn't know he stood up for Demott. My bad on that.

But Punk is a tw*t. You can't deny that. If you do, just another fan boy, lol.

For sure. I used to be a big Punk fan, but hes just way too bitter and ungreatful to the business that made him rich and famous

I bet she gets a solo induction at some point in the near future anyway. It's only a matter of time now that she's dead.

I've been preparing for it for twenty years.

I really never bought the whole Vince is senile thing but I dont know at this point. Apparently he's losing it or just sweating like crazy over this AEW stuff.

Out of nowhere he demands the "top 4 guys" in nxt be called up with no promotion or hype, and no storylines to go along with them, while still not having anything for the just called up nxt workers.

Multiple workers are asking for their release and some walking away. Not coincidentally, the ones that are reportedly wanting out (Usos, Banks, revival) all getting title pushes at the same time. Just seems like things are chaotic in Connecticut at the moment.

If you really think about it, it could've been quite easy to see something like this coming. For a good 5 years now, WWE has signed every big Indy name and in many cases it seems like they're signing them just for the sake of signing them with no real plan on how to properly utilize the immense talent. Eventually opportunities will dry up and the supply of opps won't come close to touching the demand.

This wrestlemania is shaping up to have next to zero heat. We're a little more than a month away, and the event has basically one hot angle (which they're really trying hard to sabotage by adding someone no one cares about to it), and not much else. I think the reception for Rollins/Lesnar is ice cold at the moment. There's clearly going to be a Miz/Shane match but I can't imagine there's still people interested in watching a gassed Shane fall off stuff anymore. Bryan is doing amazing character work but has no obvious opponent. Their arguably best female in the company finally got on tv last night nearly a month after beating the hottest act in the company clean for a world title. They torpedoed guys' momentum like Braun and Finn. I just would love to be a fly on the wall at titan towers. Really seems like they're spinning their wheels though it's probably more specifically vince. They have some really great wrestling minds there.

I don't know if you guys have seen the Fyre documentary but I can't help but picture Vince as Billy. People around him everywhere trying to reason with him while Vince slyly maintains everything will be fine. Hate to be THAT mark, but Trips can't take over soon enough.

I had read that HHH had no idea those 4 were getting called up to the main roster. But if you're one of those 4 and you get a call from a WWE exec or Vince (dunno how it went down) that's not HHH and they tell you to fly to Raw...you do it. Evidently, the idea was to have Ricochet v Finn at Raw but HHH got his hands on it and convinced them to do the tag match as he didn't want to stifle Finn's IC win nor did he want Ricochet losing on his debut night. I'm right there with you Jake, I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening and watching what's going on. Would love to read about all of this going on from a book or something, like from someone who was working close with Vince and just to hear how everything has gotten flipped around. Vince is slightly going into panic mode.

At this point, they just need to have Ricochet beat Rollins to take his title opportunity and then go over Lesnar. That would get people hyped. Ricochet/Lesnar is a five star match waiting to happen, and literally no one gives any f*cks about Seth Rollins right now.

Yeah that definitely ain't happening
