Ftr has a losing streak storyline? Yeah they mentioned it before and after their loss to the a** boys Oh okay I haven't been able to watch all of Dynamite due to travel so I really didn't know. That cool at least they didn't allow the best tag team in the planet thing get to their heads

Dax is what happens when you become starstruck by Punk's "Revolutionary Renegade" persona, but never had the personal pull or anti-establishment cred (even if Punk's mostly thrown that away) to pull it off.
All you end up doing is adopting the "loudmouth jerk" part.

The insane part is trhat due to a complicated mix of his worst comments not being reported on, blind support of him/hatred of his common targets, the overall dismissal of his bigotry from a lot of people who just brush him off, and the fact that a lot of the people who have heard his most reprehensible things are down as f*** for them, the sheer depth of Cornette's insanity that Dax is sticking in for isn't even fully conveyed. So many people are gonna hear that and go "Oh yeah I guess he can say it, I wouldn't die on that hill with Dax but sure whatever" with zero idea how f***ing rancid it gets and how deep it goes. Cornette could not be more racist if he started doing Mickey Rooney impressions.

FTR are quickly entering the "fantastic wrestlers but man I don't care about them outside the ring AT ALL" territory.

What was Punk's "duh" comment on the post in reply to? I gave ‘ol whisker biscuits podcast a listen to. He’s really likable. I’m willing to bet there’s a lot he’s withholding but pretty open too. Them getting into a thing with reDRagon surprised me.

After finally listening to the podcast, it's amazing that so many people are reading as much into Dax's comments as they have considered he said a whole lot of nothing through most of it.

Can I be a little bit jealous that now everyone is calling him "FTR Bald", but back when I was calling him "Bald Revival", nobody else joined in?

See, the difference is that nobody wanted to make fun of them back then, with the likely exception of the guys in the office who wanted them to wear Flavor Flav clocks.

Once again, I feel super bad for Cash Wheeler, dude doesn't say anything and HASN'T said anything, but because Dax is so loud, everyone's like "Man FTR are some dumb f***s" and Wheeler could be like taking a nap on the couch and roll over like "Wait what the f*** did I do??" lmfao

I had a longer response but I'm sorry, it's 2022. Kayfabe's been dead since the 1930s regardless of what people think. All you'd be doing is basically showing your lockerroom that the best way to get attention for feuds is by shouting about it unplanned in press conferences and that's a dangerous precedence to set in a lockerroom you want to control things in. Actually yeah, your right about the precedence it sets. I suppose he could apologize and still twist it in a way to antagonize Kenny and the Bucks. The thing is, no matter what he walks away with millions it seems like and more notoriety

I've listened to most of it and as usual comments are snipped up to remove context or important qualifying statements.
The Mike Bailey thing for example he is asked very specifically about that match earlier in the podcast and he makes it clear that he doesn't see planning out a match in detail as a bad thing, it's just a different way of working and it's not the way he likes to work.

People taking clips out of context to make someone look like shit or sound dumber than they are? The internet would never!

I'll just say it because this whole thing is going to be drawn out further; I don't care if the Bucks and Omega leaked stuff to Meltzer, I don't care if they rubbed people the wrong way backstage with speeches or BTE gags or whatever. I do not care if what Punk said is true and it's all a mess backstage and he was trying to help the company. Punk still ranted at the press conference. Punk still punched a dude, hit another with a chair and let his friend bite the other. They all got suspended for two months because of the aftermath and pretty much wrecked a lot of company booking during that time with it only now just getting to some kind of stability. If all this happened backstage and we hear about it with leaks and speculation, that's entirely different to actually doing it publicly. If Punk wants to come back, Punk's got to be the bigger man publicly apologize and no stories about him giving Starbucks vouchers to the women or one-word Instagram replies are going to change that simple fact. And there's nothing in Punk's history that tells me that's going to happen. To ask though about this, if hypothetically it was proven/revealed that the Elite were intentionally leaking or trying to sabotage Punk's name to the dirtsheets, wouldn't Punk be owed a public apology too. I mean don't get me wrong Punk's behavior was horribly unprofessional and wrong but if the Elite were actually revealed to be doing what I just said, shouldn't they be held accountable and have to apologize too? If all ofthis is hypothetical true, The EVPs of a company were equally acting unprofessional and almost trying to start a conflict with one of their workers.

Listened to it and found it an enjoyable listen. I felt he was careful to not take sides and he came across as a good dude.

No. The ends don't justify the means. Leaks happen all the time in sports, in the entertainment business, everywhere. And if we're talking about leaks here, Punk would still be a hypocrite for using someone in the media to imply they smashed the door open and it slammed onto his dog, making him lose two of his teeth when everyone afterwards said that never happened. Like, if they're apologizing for that, shouldn't Punk be forced to apologize for implying The Elite assaulted an animal?
