I'm pretty fine with not seeing Matt Hardy on TV for a long time. It's amazing how much Matt Hardy has been on TV throughout his career, when all most fans really want was consistency from Jeff, though we never got it.

Matt might wanna go home before Reby burn that compound to the damn ground

Ok man lol

Rock vs Roman was the main event but the Backlash made them change it. This wasn't a work

I think they might induct Bray

They should. Right after his father let them induct Bray. He may get the warrior award this year if it's still a thing

The WWE roster is out here on twitter riding for Bianca Belair like crazy. Good to see she's got that type of support

As they should… some Nigga simply booing Maxxine who has no business being in the ring, generated crazy support . If you not following that up with support that’s just as loud for Bianca who is basically the present & future of your women’s division that’s a huge fucking problem.

Bianca legit the GOAT. She was a big part of why I got back into wrestling. No woman has ever promoted the brand like Bianca did. She was everywhere with that belt when she was champion.

All Ima say is...

With the evolution of the biz...particularly its adaptation of social media mainstream media in general...

IMO it would be very naïve to think that as homie says...a multi billion dollar media and entertainment company doesn't meticulously plan and curate every aspect of the product presented. It would also be very naïve to think that they don't understand the psychology of its core demo and dont use that info to get the desired results.

You dont think its possible that as I have stated before...that kayfabe is indeed not dead...its just executed differently...utilizing social media, the traditional mainstream media and industry "insiders" and media like Meltzer and fightful, etc to help advance and inform storylines?

All ima say is WWE makes horrible decisions all the time and sometimes they steer back if there is enough backlash. Nothing more or less here.

they always come back

Standing on "it was a work" when that "work" clearly compromised the storyline and made it make less sense at the time is definitely a decision.

Saying it like the WWE hasn't historically booked in comtempt of their fanbase is also very funny.

 

[Griffith]

All the best to him!

Batista winning the rumble and Daniel Bryan being inserted into the Main Event, tapping out Batista was a work too.

Definitely a work. Fans didn't pressure them at all.

The Rock is back in a big way, and not just on the board and in the ring. The Rock is wrestling at WrestleMania, has a seat on the board of TKO, and has gained the IP of all Rock-related terminology and names. However, we’re going to be seeing his influence on WrestleMania weekend well beyond his scheduled tag team match with Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins & Cody Rhodes. Sources within WWE have told us that The Rock has had input on this year’s WWE Hall of Fame inductees. One indicated to us that would be evident if the planned inductees are revealed as scheduled. We weren’t given any additional info as to what that means. Another source said The Rock had input on all of this year’s inductees, though we’ve not confirmed that to be the case. So far Paul Heyman, Bull Nakano, and the U.S. Express tandem of Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda have been announced as inductees. The ceremony will be on April 5, 2024.​
