To be fair nobody handled that correctly, only IMPACT wrestling really did their best Impact wasn't even testing people appearantly. Though they and AEW did a hell of a better job than the WWE Performance Center, which was a perennial superspreader. I think it's telling about the kind of sloppy shop over there specifically when the Raw and Smackdown rosters moved to the Thunderdome, that they were generally fine while the PC continued to be Outbreak Central. Oh yeah they messed up big time with that.

Did you forget about NXT's magical cleaning supplies that immediately destroyed covid back in 2020? To be fair nobody handled that correctly, only IMPACT wrestling really did their best The people who did it the best was ROH... And then they got bought.

There was also that period where for like a year at every press meeting Triple H was having giant meltdowns, oftentimes over Velveteen Dream. The guy's just kind of a shitty person who doesn't put a lot of effort into hiding it.

I realize people for the most part love Triple H now or “Papa H”. But it’s nice to see that guy is still a miserable prick. Just because he knows how to book a decent show doesn’t mean he isn’t still a huge asshole.

ROH did the right thing both morally and ethically. Unfortunately, neither of those are positives in capitalism. And then they got scapegoated by Sinclair for their disastrous decision about the RSN's.

Just because he knows how to book a decent show doesn’t mean he isn’t still a huge asshole. I, personally, look forward to the day when we can accept that all of the major promoters are rich assholes without attributing good personhood to them because of their qualities as a booker.

Almost like “wrestling promoter” is an inherently carny and exploitative job, huh?

They have so many people on the roster why just now think about making Rampage better?

Hhh and Tony Khan both have their flaws and will inevitably both make some shitty decisions but by wrestling promotor standards they're about as good as gets. They're a long way from the likes of Ian Rotten.

Their attitude seems to be that, "Oh well, ratings will be down in the summer, why bother trying?" because I guess they missed the memo about how long SmackDown got stigmatized as the B-show after years of being treated as disposable. And despite being on Fox now it still arguably is the B-show because it hasn't been seeing the same gains from the new regime that Raw has.

Fridays ain't a good day for wrestling. 8 and after is prime drinking time

They're a long way from the likes of Ian Rotten. They're the top of a mountain of dung. I mean, just off the top of my head: Vince was a sexual predator, Heyman stiffed his employees to the point that one legitimately contemplated assassinating him, Dixie left Jesse Sorenson and Daffney to twist in the wind after they nearly died working for her, Watts was a virulent racist, Cornette is Cornette, Quackenbush was a control freak maniac, etc. I'd probably rather work for HHH and Tony than any other wrestling promoter ever. Maybe Bischoff? His worst offense, as far as I can remember, was letting Hall, Nash and Hogan take him for a ride.

WWE: *puts NXT on AEW's time slot right after they announce it* Triple H: NXT is not a developmental,its its own brand,its my baby. Triple H now: It was developmental,big whoop.

Yeah, if the worst thing you can say about Triple H or Tony Khan is that they can be thin-skinned and petty, that's still better than like 99% of all other wrestling promoters. Which is a pretty sad state of affairs, but then you can say the same about a lot of corporate America, too.
Though I don't remember hearing much of anything bad about Cary Silkin when he took over ROH after the Feinstein garbage, so there's him I guess.

Away from the women's division the tnt title needs to get back to having more regular defences too. Some of them on rampage. You’d think having the TNT Title be the centerpiece of the show that airs on TNT would be a no-brainer…

LOL the most decorated womens wrestler of all time and daughter of HHH's hero used her rumble win to challenge for and win the developmental title.
