Well it is interesting to think if they have purposely delay this project a bit to keep more money. Not saying they are doing this but it is sleezy and technically legal.
Then again this is on their patreon post

The problem of getting change is one side of the issue was always more passionate than the other. Having things be taken away from you is a motivating factor.
While it's good to see passion in the political sphere, we will see coming election time if that passion correlates with votes.
Guns in general is a complex topic because there are states with high gun ownership with low crime rates. Those states not coincidentally also tend to be states with high average incomes/wages. The majority of guns homicides are suicides which is awful and the presence of guns makes it easier to kill yourself but that is not with a semi automatic weapon. The other portion of homicides sadly impact inner city youths which is not something that impact the majority of America.
I think it's far easier to (easy as policy gets) to fix the economic and social issues that minority deal with which will bring a lot of positive effects including lower crime rates.

Yup failures all around here. To be fair, how many vaguely threatening messages are posted by dipshit HS students on FB every single day? I doubt the FBI has the resources to investigate every single one, and even if they did I bet 99% of them would amount to “I was trying to be funny/edgy”. And personally, I’m not a fan of thinking federal agencies should be involved in investigating thought crimes. The ball was dropped here because a preponderance of evidence showed a genuine threat; but I understand why it wasn’t high on their list of priorities. I agree in generally but when the FBI post an our bad letter on their website I think they know this was not a normal low threat tip.

So apparently the FBI failed to act on a tip on January 5th that he was planning a school shooting... Yup failures all around here.

Much better than the previous trend of guys like Angle and Hogan revealing their nipples to set up the finish.

I am fine with her showing up at the Rumble because I have always been in the mindset of rewarding fans who paid (via network subscription) with these big debuts. The timing of her debut wasn't great but it could be worse.

I think the WWE believes turning heel/face wipes out all prev losses. They probably don't think the fans will remember all of this when he is in the ring with Styles/Nak Yep that's exactly what they think. Both wrestling fans and writers have short term memories and I doubt if Balor is champion in 4 months people will talk about this match much.

The problem with Balor going heel to face Styles or Nakamura is where this leads for him because if he's really facing one of them then he has to be booked strong. He did great in the Rumble but lost, he faced Cena but lost, he needs a big win in order to solidify him otherwise it's bad booking given Nakamura beat Cena clean and Styles almost beat Lesnar. Balor needs to beat someone big at WM or else he'll be another challenge who's not believable to face the WWE Champion and we can't have that. Nobody thinks a loser is tough if they lose. Lasting a long time doesn't help you out. If this leads to Balor beating a Cena or Reigns or Strowman or someone legit enough at WM then yeah it's good. If not then shit it's just another short-term booking situation that we always get onto them about. I think the WWE believes turning heel/face wipes out all prev losses. They probably don't think the fans will remember all of this when he is in the ring with Styles/Nak

Who knew the guy who has on numerous occasions buried his brother alive was the cooler head in this match.

It seems just being the rumble undercard title match just demotivates everyone.

I don't think the music is so bad. Trish's opening laugh is as iconic as Taker's gong.

She is bae. That flying elbow will at least get her over like Cesaro's big swing helped him out.

Just shows the lack of depth on the women's roster and the effects of roster turnover has. Female wrestlers just don't typically wrestle full time for over 5 years so the bottom of the roster will typically be newer people who the crowd hasn't had a time to connect too.
If you are not in the title picture there isn't much to do that isn't valet work sadly.

I wrote this in the match thread but it was like the John Cena/Big Johnny match. Fun in a weird way but not something I need to see main event.

I'm just wondering how you do this match next year. Do you have the same people? Who else can you get? Make it 15 person rumble.

Sasha in this rumble was like when Rey won, just spent 90% of it invisible rolling around in the corner. Ironically they both did it for Eddie.

Crowd, stop directing chants at their husbands. Thanks. We didn’t get an Edge chant surprisingly. Or a Kane chant.

McCool beng a factor in this match is... odd. I'm still confused. Like, she was the only one to go on a big elimination spree. Maybe I'm mixing up stories but didn't she beat cancer recently? So, maybe they wanted to give her a feel good moment? idk but odd stuff. It was part of the Undertaker's new iron clad contract.

This match is just a mismatch of nostalgia, clunky wrestling, and bizarre "what the f*** was the point of that" moments. I can't decide if I like it or not, haha. This is kind of like the Cena vs Big Johnny match. Fun in a unique way. Should not main event.
