Having someone who once publicly called for a race war redebut by helping her husband beat up a bunch of minorities was a choice. The Lars Sullivan special

It'll be great TV to watch them not getting over and to laugh at them.

WWE have been getting more and more shameless about ripping off indie workers, and this is the worst example yet, especially the optics of having a far-right bigot stealing from a trans performer. Just like, did they think no one would notice? She looks like if someone ran Max through one of those shit AI art keyword generators.

You mistake her. She’s not ripping off Heidi. She’s simply just paying tribute to her true hero: The QAnon shaman.
Wretched person hired by a wretched company.

For their part, Max has seemingly avoided touching this so far tonight, but Heidi and Leon are practically family to them, so not surprised she's sticking up for Max this fearlessly.

Just like, did they think no one would notice? She looks like if someone ran Max through one of those shit AI art keyword generators. Probably, yeah. Like, Max The Impaler has done the rounds in recent years in terms of the top indie places like NWA, ROH and Impact, even did a couple of Elevation matches in AEW. Great young talent from what I’ve heard. But I’d wager that most of the two million people who watch WWE shows wouldn’t know them from a bar of soap, and would probably associate the facepaint with Imperator Furiosa from Fury Road (a character that is obviously not a viking) more than any other wrestler. Same thing with the Axiom/Razerwyng situation, and unfortunately for Razerwyng, he’s got way less of a profile in indie wrestling than Max does, especially since CHIKARA closed. That doesn’t make it right, obviously, don’t believe for one f***ing second that I’m saying that it does.

Incredibly well deserved callout, let's be honest. Absolutely hilariously blatant lmao Yeah, like... it's wrestling and people borrow from each other, I totally get it. But this is straight up theft. ðŸ˜

Just came across a tweet that was like "Sarah Logan needs a shower, not a WWE return."

The viking facepaint bit is actually just a coincidence; Logan wanted to do full blackface but Triple H told her no. My original response to this was "So, does she hate half her face now??" But then deleted it in case no one else thought it, and I looked like an asshole. In reference to an asshole. God it sucks she's back. I hope people call her out.

He feels like collateral damage, but at this point I wouldn't know what to do with him. He feels like someone who'd excel in an Otis role. A lovable wrecking ball.

I haven’t watched in a while. Rowe looks way out of shape. Also hyping up the least over member of the Riott Squad’s return to manage her husbands loser ass tag team was certainly an idea.

What did Sarah Logan do? I can’t keep up with all of the racists in wrestling. Posted on her social media about her support for a hate group militia called "The B**gal** B*ys" (without the asterisks) and went as far as to wear clothing supporting them. Their name literally comes from anticipating a massive race war, and to get around getting flagged for those exact words on social media they've used "B**gal**" as short-hand for "Civil War 2: Electric B**gal**." The Sarah Logan Fan Tumblr account even denounced her over it - sarahlogansource.tumblr.com/

I mean it's not like its a very unique look. It's very easy to copy unintentionally. The make up is literally the first thing you see if you google Viking woman makeup. The attire is a basic viking look and she has had dreads for a while. My question is was Sarah ever good? I know she had hype from the indies before she signed but I never saw her. She has always been the most just there woman on the roster. Did she regress or was she an overhyped prospect? Someone on Diva_Dirt told me that Sarah has been doing this kind of look for years at Viking festivals and such.

She hasn’t been an active wrestler since she was released from WWE two years ago. I think she had a baby in that timeframe, but the only two matches she’s listed on Cagematch as working in since being released… One was the Royal Rumble this year, and the other was for goddamn Control Your Narrative. So yeah, it’s not out of school to say she’s probably not in peak condition here.

The only good thing about this is it's getting more attention to Max the Impaler, who is the better and cooler version of whatever the f*** this was
Someone please book them to a higher capacity. They've gotten some AEW DARK Matches, would love to see them become a staple in the future with Heidi and Abadon, a really standout group they'd be.
In any case yeah, decisions like this show HHH isn't really gonna fix much of anything worthwhile, I'm half expecting to see Gunner show back up at this rate.
