    Also being Canadian* he has an inante desire to put others first, so he's always good about doing the job or making an ass of himself. Not many legends would lose as often as he does.

    The hype for tonight’s Smackdown is pretty crazy. Given WWE isn’t even doing the promo work for it to be a buzz.

    I believe this is about Bray and what happens next with him. It also happens to be Brody’s birthday.

    Well the tweet that started the buzz was by one of their creative writers. Given who started I'm sure it's going to be Bray related and honestly it's about time they advance that story

    well I mean it’s not been something promoted on TV or by it’s main social media accounts.

    It’s all based off that creative writers tweet…

    This is no shot at you but something I’ve seen recently when it comes to Bray and The Bloodline about the storylines need to be moved forward. People always bitch about long story telling and then want you to blow through a story in a few weeks.

    Zayn just got fully accepted to the bloodline and people are calling for the next shoe to fall. Chill people and just enjoy it.

    I have enjoyed Reigns run as champ and the whole Bloodline story. It's one of very few things interesting in WWE. Bray story does need some movement, though.

    I don’t see anything Bray ever moving quickly. He’s going to drop small hints for his stuff. Like the Alexa stuff, the mask/Mr howdy in the shadows. Idk maybe we see something massive tonight. I just think Bray wants the slowest of burns.

    ROH did 25k buys… and TK thought it was a good idea to feature that crap on dynamite for weeks on end…

    Mandy can’t be doing soft core porn and showing her butt hole to the world and think a PG publicly traded company that just gave her a major push for the last 14 months would allow it. Especially if she was warned to tone it down.

    Hope ROH fades away now. Keep it on its own to sink or swim. 25k is still a million dollars with probably a 50/50 split plus gate. It's not terrible.

    AEW does 140k on its PPV. It’s insane you would cater to something so small and harm
    your main product in the process.

    I don’t understand why he just didn’t keep the ROH stuff on Friday… I’m sure the returns would be the same.

    I agree a 100% on that. The Forbidden Door and ROH stuff have been awful for AEW as a whole.

    I find it extremely hard to believe a company that size doesn't have someone monitoring things like that.

    am I reading it correctly that this was all a decision made by Shawn Michaels? again, find it hard to believe he has that kind of power.

    It sucks she lost her job, but she'll find other opportunities with companies who don't care about her onlyfans site and probably make comparable money

    Tbf my understanding is her site started her showing some skin and maybe a nipple popped out here and there and wwe probably turned a blind eye to that. But it appears in last month or so she's basically a soft core porn model and that is probably the "new content" that worried them. There is a difference between showing skin and showing your bhole, rubbing your vagina and grinding your bf

    I was all in on the Bray return and it's losing me. I agree, something needs to happen. And it's not me being an impatient fan because i think the sami and Bloodline stuff still has legs before they need to pull trigger on a turn

    Mandy's dive into softcore porn always felt like a "she knows what she's doing" kind of thing, refuse to believe she thought there wouldn't be major repercussions from wwe if she continued down that road

    Yeah, it could have been a ploy to get out of her contract honestly. Or just not caring at least.

    Well with the loss of income, fingers crossed that the content gets even more edgy.

    I’m sure she looked at things logically… she’s probably making six figures as a wrestler in wwe. At $45 a month sub she’s probably going to surpass that figure on that site and she doesn’t need to take a bump.

    I mean seems like she could end up in AEW or TNA, maybe ROH since TK owns that now. Her stuff is comparable to PVZ right? I'm not sure about Tay Conti and didn't the Iionics start fan sites too? Those companies seem fine with it.

    Tay is basically posting IG tier pics

    Impact has already said they would move to sign her if AEW doesn’t. Or at least that’s what Tommy Dreamer said. Thought it was kind of insulting to Impact to phrase it that way, but alas it’s what he said.

    Tommy Dreamer has already offered her a job at Impact. Maybe she waits for Tony Khan to make a call. She also has an independent income stream and her fiancé is very well off, so maybe she just does other stuff for awhile.

    She could probably get more eyes on herself going live on her site than appearing on impact, and probably make more money too. Don't see that happening

    dude wouldn't even fully participate in dx skits after the comeback because "you know, I, uh, just don't, you know, wanna do that stuff, you know, anymore"

    I don’t think he makes the call. This is probably made up by those above him and since he runs NXT that makes him the deliverer of the message.

    yeah I thought this was common knowledge for wrestling fans tbh, I'd largely stopped watching during his second go around but from afar it seemed like Christian reformed guy was the bulk of his gimmick

    JR talked on his podcast about having to awkwardly ask new hires if they have ever done porn or nude stuff that would surface once they got on TV. They were never going be cool with that.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with that. She doesn't have near the name recognition of Charlotte nor has she gotten herself nearly as over as Becky.
