Cody pronounces it JIFS. Interesting way to turn heel...

Nick Hausman asked a real question, and Cody kind of evades it while shitting on AEW.

An impossible question to answer right now. What are they supposed to say about it? Ask that to Nick Khan (or Trips) and see what he says, not workers.

I get asking Cody since he has been in that executive role before.

First question to Trips is his reaction to Netflix deal.
Lame.

How is the first question not about Vince?
Letting women into the press conference was a mistake.

Trips: this has been an incredible, incredible week
Someone tee up the Tim Robinson “you sure about that?” gif please?

"How is Christmas going to be different this year now that we have concrete evidence Vince is a sexual predator and sex trafficker and he tried to pimp his own daughter on multiple occasions?"

I don't even want to bother with the negatives right now. Look at all of the good stuff we did!

What a bitch move by Hunter. We had such a great week for the company, I choose not to talk about the negatives. Fuck right off.
Interesting the two female reporters asked about the Netflix deal and how stacked the roster is.
What a massive cop out. Also Hunter’s never read anything about the lawsuit?
WWE still WWE

Jon Alba and Brandon Thurston and The Ringer guy asked the tough questions.
Everyone else was a bitch.

It's amazing that with a couple of days to prepare, and the knowledge that he'd get asked the question, THAT'S what he came up with.

My father in law was accused of sex trafficking and a host of other allegations, removed from position at TKO and I got nothing to say about it.
But I'm definitely going to shit on the phrase Forbidden Door.
Oh, shouldn’t say shit on, too sensitive of a topic. Eh, you know what, Hunter didn’t read the lawsuit anyway.

Hunter lost the press conference. no one outside of the iwc give a shit about wrestling press conferences luckily. |

My guess is Paul got very clear directions on what not to say during the press conference and he executed on that order. Less headlines are made by him deflecting the questions. Bigger headlines are made by him answering them.

WWE may have like 3-5 top stars but after that it’s full of people I just don’t give a shit about. I don’t watch so obviously that doesn’t help. As much as I detest the way AEW presents itself and the type of silly backyard bullshit wrestling they do, it feels like they have more stars too to bottom, just maybe not the biggest ones. Kind of a snooze fest for me. No real surprises all night either.

Just watched his response. He chose to talk about all the money they made this week. Doesn’t want to get bogged down by the negatives. Well sorry, that doesn’t go away because you don’t want to get bogged down. I would have understood a company line response, but the way he belittled what the accusations were was actually the grossest part of his response. Not a great look.

The PR team should have had a canned statement that covered the basics that he could use to answer those questions - not look at all the positives and how much money we are going to make!

The crowd has been kind of dead tonight. They weren't provided much inspiration but that was the worst crowd in a long time. |

This may be because I left WWE in 2020, but this was a hell of a show. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Good job keeping me entertained the whole time. I saw you enjoying it so I kept my mouth shut because IMO that was the worst WWE PPV since pre-Covid. It felt like with everything going on, they decided to just build on the active people they have and avoid big returns and let Truth be the comedy. But it fell so flat. I can't stress enough, go back and watch Roman vs. Owens from last year's Rumble show. Video package to the very end of the show. |

Bigger headlines are made by him answering them. Then he failed miserably in that task. A canned "We're aware of the lawsuit and the company takes them seriously. I unfortunately can't comment any further at this time" would be better than "Hey, man, look at the positives and no I haven't looked at the lawsuit dude". |
