Kind of wonder if whoever this is is in danger of being figured out given there are quite a few clues in there that'd really narrow it down. 1. It's someone who's on TV enough to be stressed about that rather than over not being used. 2. They're apparently on Raw (well, maybe, WILD CARD!). 3. They've been around long enough to seemingly be familiar with Punk. I can think of only a small handful of guys that'd really apply to. If they wanted their name out there they would do it. We should absolutely not speculate on who this is. |

I don't even hate Vince, the guy is just straight up out of touch and probably thinks he can still fix whatever's wrong. Pal, step the f*** down and go run your shitty football league.

Yeah, that's why I deliberately avoided actually saying who came to mind, more just saying it probably wouldn't be hard for WWE to figure out who this is. Edit: Went ahead and deleted the post while at it, probably just kind of misguidedly encouraging speculation on it in retrospect. |

Not trying to stir anything up but I'd be curious if anyone can defend Vince McMahon and wwe after listening to what Dean Ambrose said on that podcast it is frightening that this man is running the company

I still think it's got to say a lot when Dean Malenko left WWE and road agented the Double or Nothing match between Omega and Jericho. Malenko had a for-life position, just about, but still walked. That's some huge frustration.

The scary part is also what's going to happen even to those that do get some artistic freedom.
Biggest example of that is probably Bray Wyatt; dude clearly has a mind for his character, and often seems like he's got an interesting hook in mind, but then gets booked to pretty much do nothing, and it's routinely exposed just how badly creative (or maybe just Vince) really, really doesn't get the Wyatt character. The current Funhouse gimmick is working well for him and apparently is almost entirely his own brainchild, but it's tough to imagine WWE following it up really well.

I am sympathetic that in a competitive company like WWE where there are more talented wrestlers than there are top spots on the card there will be lower morale in those who feel they deserve to higher on the card rightly or wrong. It's not a company where "everyone" can really win. And those who have a stronger negative reaction will be more likely to try to leak things than those who are more neutral. My guess is that there are a lot more neutral wrestler than those who like working in the WWE/Hate the WWE. I won't defend not releasing lower card guys who want to leave especially if you won't use them. That's shitty. |

(For the record I do actually enjoy the product for the most part with exception of Raw... it's just it could be so much better) |

Hopefully they get another pep talk from Stephanie! That'll straighten out those damn complaining millennials who don't speak up for themselves and grab the brass ring?

Marty Jannetty was just a scapegoat thrown under the bus by the REAL mole. Who was the man that threw him under the bus and actually talked to Fightful, you ask? Well... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}  |

Jesus, Terry Funk who is older than Vince is saying/said they're out of ideas. Terry, who's old enough to seen the rise and fall of dozen of promotions.

THIS is the one that gets me every single time , I know this person wasn't trying to do the ole humble brag or anything but this is exactly why Vince will never really have to worrie. The ammount of times I have read a WWE wrestler respond to someone on twitter about their spot with ....BUT MY BANK ACCOUNT SAYS OTHERWISE etc breaks my heart because it is a huge part of why no one will topple Vince and he can keep being as out of touch as he wants because he is willing to spend whatever it takes majority of the time to get a star or keep someone. Well I mean wrestling is still a job. Yeah, creative freedom is great but at the same time it doesn't pay your bills. I mean you can go off Dean and spend some time in the WWE and get your money then leave ... but that was only really something that you could do now. |

The current Funhouse gimmick is working well for him and apparently is almost entirely his own brainchild, but it's tough to imagine WWE following it up really well. Now Wyatt seems like the type of dude who likes creative freedom like Mox, and hates having his ideas either screwed with and being booked to hell like a loser. I think if the Funhouse gimmick doesn’t lead to good things for him storyline wise, I can easily see him as not re-signing when his contract’s up and taking his ideas to another company who would “get him” so to say. |
