I have to give Pat credit here this dude did NOT want to be involved. He did it anyways and got SLAUGHTERED not just by the fans (we gon come back to this) but by even the talent backstage. To the point he donā€™t wanna come back which Iā€™m sure heā€™ll be back eventually down the road. Just goes to show that anytime triple Nose, Bruce, Michael Hayes, Khan and TKO pretend ā€œwe donā€™t care what the IWC says just shut up and enjoy the show..ā€ they are CAPPIN.

Again there was folks on here trying to defend Patā€™s inclusion yall donā€™t gotta defend everything lol shit doomed Mania before we even got to the PLE itself.

My hope is that comin outta Mania and just from what we seen on RAW that they are going to go balls to the walls with big feuds & putting creative together folks wanna be excited about. The IC title scene, Punk / Cody tease, Roman / Jacob is a good start. Obviously WWE has to do the part where they actually follow through.

Pat did the job he is under contract to do.

He is a good employee. That is all the praise he deserves knowing he wouldā€™ve likely been sued otherwise.
 
AJ Styles says he and his family were SWARMED by fans and resellers at his hotel for WrestleMania 42 šŸ˜”šŸšØ

ā€œIā€™m not taking pictures because once I start, Iā€™ll never stop. So if I have my family with me, I canā€™t do that. I said, ā€œHey, Iā€™m not taking pictures right now. Iā€™m sorry.ā€

Then they just swarmed me like bees anyway. Even this one guy, even though I told him no pictures, he was walking and laying on me and stuff like that. Iā€™m like, ā€œWhoa! Whoa!ā€ And finally, security was able to find me and take me to the elevator.

They think they know the superstars because theyā€™ve watched them for so long, but at the same time, youā€™ve got to remember that theyā€™re real people.

It can get overwhelming when that many people swarm you like that. I get it..but no means no with pictures and whatnot. If somebody asks you not to, chill out.ā€œ

In this weekā€™s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote about the recording. That not only gives yours truly some cover to blog about it on this site without hearing from Vox legal, but it also gives us some insight into how TKOā€™s creative control worked in practice since Ari Emanuel & team bought WWE the two-and-a-half years ago. At least depending on what merit you give to Meltzer and his sources, of course.

The idea that TKO could dictate creative to WWE is really a no-brainer. Parent companies can pretty much dictate whatever they want to their wholly-owned subsidiaries. But according to Meltzer, they only use it occasionally. The big issue is the occasions when Emanuel and Shapiro or their people choose to use it. Pat McAfee and Jelly Rollā€™s insertion in the WWE title program at this yearā€™s ā€˜Mania is mentioned, but weā€™d also count the Travis Scott fiasco at WrestleMania 41 as another inopportune time TKO (or one of its Board members) flexed their muscle on WWE and Chief Content Officer Paul ā€œTriple Hā€ Levesque.
From the WON:
It was noted to us that in the end, Emanuel and Shapiro do have the final say in creative, but they almost never use it. It was said that in this situation, they used it at the most inopportune time. There was a ton of chaos regarding those on the wrestling side who didnā€™t want the McAfee and Jelly Roll involvement in a world title match they had been slowly building for months and how the celebrities took the focus away.

One person noted seeing the TKO Executives vs. WWE creative team battle coming for a year and said there was a lot of internal jockeying going on and that it was encouraged by Ari Emanuel and Shapiro.

It was noted to us that everyone acknowledges that at the end of the day, they have complete control, but they rarely use it and the complaint this year was that when they use it itā€™s at the worst time.

I dont hate Meltzer like some of yall, yeah he is a goof expecially in his later years with news reporting being 50/50 but I do feel the star rating system is usually pretty damn accurate so im always curious to see what certain matches get rated. Buddy been a wrestling journalist for over 30/40 years, I aint going to act like he just some twitter geek either.
