I mean it. With WWE's sordid racial history Titus continues to be an ambassador for the company. And for that guy to stand side-by-side with Hulk Hogan after his comments and host a WrestleMania, showed me everything I need to know about him. |

I’m not here to defend Hulk Hogan or what he said, but are you saying there’s no opportunity for redemption and forgiveness? Are you pro cancel culture?

I’m not here to defend Hulk Hogan or what he said, but are you saying there’s no opportunity for redemption and forgiveness? Are you pro cancel culture? I'm saying that in Hulk Hogan's case, when a guy like him is revealed to have said what he said, it means that's what he really thinks. A guy like Titus puts company before principle. That's his choice, but it shows that he has more loyalty towards Vince than having the integrity to say, "Fuck that, I'm not standing next to this guy." Titus was being used as a mascot by Vince in a cynical attempt to rehabilitate Hogan's image. It was less about good will and more about, "We need to show the world that Hogan doesn't hate negroes. Hey Titus, pal...I have a favor to ask." But Titus' head is too far up Vince's ass to realize or care that he was being used. I don't believe Hogan's stories of remorse. I believe Hogan was sorry he got caught. I'm not pro cancel culture. I'm the opposite. I'd prefer if a guy like Hogan would say, "Yeah, I said it and I meant it. Now what?" I'd have more respect for that type of bigot than one who pretends to be my friend but is calling me slurs behind my back. |

The only cancel culture going on right now is against the LGBTQ community. Women's rights. Voting rights. Veterans rights. I could go on. What in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? |

@okc I didn’t know enough about it. I do know Hogan has a problem holding himself accountable, like ever. Was legit question about cancel culture. Wasn’t being a dick. Backstory makes sense. I was just saying people can change.

Their draft rules have always been stupid. Just make everyone single in the draft and play it out how you see fit. It’s a fucking work so if you want certain people together then just do that. So damn dumb.

So Ali, Omos, Ziggler and…Von Wagner have all “declared free agency or negotiated so they can be on both shows”
I’m sorry, what?

These financial calls are crazy.
WWE got over a million dollars to run Backlash in Puerto Rico this weekend.
Wild.

Draft rosters are supposed to go into effect starting Monday. Yet they’re still having matches on Smackdown next week to determine who wrestles for the RAW title at the next PPV. If you thought that was convoluted to read, imagine how I felt typing it. This company never learns, they got their little 2 week interest bump and it’s back to normal already.

Why do Smackdown guys need to be in this if The Bloodline and Roman aren't involved? Just odd and pointless.
Makes sense for your picks Peeps, but I'll be different and say Rollins vs AJ as the finals. I think Drew shows up and costs Cody to start that feud and take Cody out of the title picture a bit. Why go right to Cody for the bronze medal title post Mania? Is that really "part of his story?"
I don't know if Drew is clear yet, but turning him heel on RAW makes a lot of sense, even if he is having contract issues.

Cody vs. Theory in the opening round. Brock attacks again before the match. Theory gets the easy win.

Cody vs Miz vs Balor
Rollins vs Nakamura vs Priest
Cody vs Rollins makes most sense, but knowing Vince it’ll be Miz vs Priest in a Zombie Rematch

Sheamus 45 vs Lashley 46 vs Theory 25
So many young guns in this company

Sami and KO are actually going to Saudi Arabia to defend the titles?
I guess everybody really does have a price.

Saudi’s are now allowing Syrians in, so that’s why.
I’m sure Sami is thrilled to have to go, but hey, you have to have a pointless Tag Title match on the show.
