[Rudy Gobert Fadeaway]

Dude just steps in the room and says What's Aldis Then? and a vine boom goes off

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

A crappy grocery store is debuting?

[A Little Doo Doo]

Everything I've ever learned about this dude came from this board.

Imagine if he says that and then the crowd claps and cheers real loud as he poses and awaits for the clapping to stop like a guest appearance on SNL.

Scrap Daddeh when he learns he is being replaced by an AI who endulges in fish and chips.

I never realized until now how much I'd love a Byron Saxton: Most Powerful Figure in WWE run. Especially if it's a return to that brief, beautiful period when Saxton was on commentary and just casually revealing what a hapless mess his life was a little bit every week.

I just want dude constantly talking about "back in my day when I was in that ring" and describing shit from his NXT season like it was 70s NWA 

Byron talking about sitting at the foot of the learning tree with Yoshi Tatsu or getting a thousand yard stare in his eyes and looking off into the distance saying "Jacob Novak...now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time" (but no one has asked him about Jacob Novak, they're just asking for a championship opportunity for the tag titles).

"Jacob Novak....still see him when I close my eyes sometimes.."

I just feel like there has to be someone more entertaining than him for that kind of role.

Going to miss the days of Adam Pearce negotiating and competing against himself.

Me when I used to play both controllers in sports games.

[Magnus the Magnificent]

Can he please go back to the Magnus name.
It's short for *Magnificent* in case you didn't know!

After that run in NWA his best avenue for a career going forward is to be an onscreen authority figure? Is he retiring or is this gonna set him up to have an eventual feud later?

Because I'd be shocked if he was retiring at 36 tbh

How on earth is he just 36 😂 it feels like it was 20 years ago when he debuted on the Gladiators reboot over here.

This is the only reason why I know of Brutus Magnus and anything after that I didn't follow lol

[J is Justice]

Who's this guy? He's of no importance to me.

[coleslaw]

didn't this guy suck major poopoo peepee in TNA

[XIII]

I hope there’s a big announcement that he’s the new boss and the crowd is all like “WHO THE F IS THIS DUDE?”

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I asked ChatGPT for a list of potential names for a British authority figure and they should go with Lord Mortimer "The Monocle" Farnsworth.

He was okay, but dude struggled to get over as a face and his heel run with the TNA World Title was pretty much strangled at birth in what was the last match AJ Styles had in TNA, where he needed almost the entire heel roster to win, and Stings final match in TNA, which was an almost perfect carbon copy. Dude was f***ed as a heel after that.

He was champion during the dying days of the Dixie era and was only notable for needing a ridiculous amount of interference to win his matches. He made Reigns look like a “I’ll go out there alone and do it by myself” fighting champion. Before that he was a solid midcarder and had a decent tag team with Samoa Joe from memory.

I’m not going to pretend he’s an amazing performer who will have you on the edge of your seat but he’s a 4-6/10 guy who will be fine as long as he’s kept to 5-10 mins a week and isn’t overexposed (this is where the authority figure role worries me).

They have signed and heavily pushed guys far, far worse than Magnus.

If they are going to have a new onscreen authority figure, can he at least have authority over something unique. Like be the safety inspector, head of accounting, or chief diversity officer.
