Controversial is the Squared Circle

TROUBLE TROUBLE THAT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@DMcIntyreWWE Not gonna lie, I kinda wanted the "cut" cut on Fatu.

The Directors Cut: WrestleMania I didn't have time to open up CapCut during my match.

@ABailey41055 @chidex_com She got me to buy her shirt at least, as am sure it's the same for many others. Moving merch is a major attribute for a wrestler in a world where ratings don't matter as much as it used to 20+ years ago.

@Kata_Funk @chidex_com "Prints money" when she is midly over and her little nostalgia tour won't last long

no shade but what is it about Paige that warrants all this?!?

It's a pros and cons thing. Sometimes you need to teach the WWE stle but also you may pick up NXT habits that kinda diminishes your gimmick and what made you unique to begin with. AJ was too popular to be sent to NXT at the time. Even Vince knew that. It'd be the same with MJF and Kenny.

@Kata_Funk @FLOSTIME Nah you gotta teach anyone coming in the wwe ways it’s much different than any other promotion. Even AJ Styles was like why wasn’t I sent there?!

and she skipped evolve? oh she’s def gonna be a problem. #WWENXT

@itz_khii @kingdomedrop @Thallbuju @chidex_com I keep hearing multiple justifications. Seems like there's more than one reason why she keeps getting pops. The common denominator must be because she's a star.

@Kata_Funk @kingdomedrop @Thallbuju @chidex_com Anyone winning a title in their home country/city will get a pop+What happened to that popularity afterwards?

@Brockfulton23 @Cultaholic The point is that in Bret's perspective he cared about his spot and his money back then and Hogan threatened it. That's why he seems critical of Hogan. Like many others are. Let's not forget Hogan had a track record according to other stars as well.

@Kata_Funk @Cultaholic You missed the point. WCW couldn't have even afford to give anyone that money because they weren't profitable. Hulk made WCW enough revenue that they could offer wrestlers big contracts. Bret was the top guy in the WWF. Nobody was making that money because WWF didn't have profit.

Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan on WrestleMania IX and their personal issues: "In the end he was a backstabbing, knife-wielding piece of sh*t." Bret: "I remember walking up to him, I was like, ‘Hey Terry.’ I stood up with my hand out to shake his hand for about 30 seconds but he would’t even look at me. He just kept talking to Beefcake." Hogan: "I can’t imagine doing that intentionally. Maybe I had an off day. Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was high. I don’t know. I don’t know what to tell you, but it wouldn’t have been intentional." Bret: "I knew right then and there. I was like I’ve got the belt and I’ve got what he wants and I’m the enemy now.’ "That day I remember thinking what a step backwards. It was a whole different audience and they were liking me, not Hulk Hogan…I said it’s going to backfire and it’s going to be really bad…F*ck you. Hulk came up with such a phoney, bullsh*t match. The kind of match Hogan would dream up...He was a good guy once upon a time, but in the end he was a backstabbing, knife-wielding piece of sh*t." Hogan: "Bret got all up in my face and he got all riled. I said, ‘What’s up with this guy? I thought he was a team player, man.’ Vince made the decision, it’s just one of those things."

@RanWithThePlan Goldberg is anything but overrated. He's usually fairly rated, even by himself. He's unique in that regard.

Anyone that thinks Goldberg is overrated, show them this clip. This mf was a God in WCW

@MelinaQueendom_ Mickie sold like she got shot.

Who sold best? 👀

@Brockfulton23 @Cultaholic Only? 2 million a year is crazy money. Also, Bret worked his ass off to reach that paycheck. Think of it as your career. If you were making that much money and someone threatened it, you'd feel animosity too, even if it was by a legend of the industry.

@Kata_Funk @Cultaholic What Bret's career after WrestleMania 9? Only making $2 million dollars a year. Bret would've never made that money if WCW wasn't profitable(Cause of Hulk). Its ego When Hulk said "I proved Vince right when Bret wasn't the guy". And WCW was beating WWF when Bret left. He's right.

@FadeAwayMedia Got into his head as the OG 420 connoisseur. Brilliant.

SETH ROLLINS RVD TRIBUTE GEAR WILL FOREVER LIVE RENT FREE IN MY HEAD JUST BRILLIANT. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think it boils down to what Goldberg said about Bret. Jesse had a career outside wrestling. For Bret, wrestling is all he ever knew. You threaten that, you threaten his livelihood and identity. People cope differently. And to be fair, people keep asking for Bret's honest opinion and he's giving it to them.

@Cultaholic The fact Jesse who literally got fired because of Hulk still had enough courage to thank Hulk and respect what he did for wrestling and got emotional when he found out he passed. Yet, Bret is whining over a fake belt in a fake wrestling match from 1992 is why he's a joke.

@kingdomedrop @Thallbuju @chidex_com Rudeness aside, she was pretty popular in AEW as well. Wembly was pretty hot.

@Kata_Funk @Thallbuju @chidex_com When she went to AEW how many of her "fans" showed up to support her, also Matt Cardona and Nik Nemeth got massive pops when they returned so what. Keep your fanboy shit on the side and accept that people forgot about her pretty quickly when she left.

@NidgeHattersSK @Paul_R_McDonald A Rolex is not a human being. You're getting there.

@Kata_Funk @Paul_R_McDonald Terrible comparison. Are Rolex's walking around a lobby in the same hotel I'm staying at or frequenting?

I’m not defending arsehole fan behaviour but the fact these paid meet and greets are so prohibitively expensive and you only get 15 seconds face time if you’re lucky probably fuels the hotel feeding frenzy culture a little

@OldDickLemon @Thallbuju @chidex_com Merch currently trending the shop but okay if you say so I guess...

@Kata_Funk @Thallbuju @chidex_com Everyone gets a debut/return pop. Girl doesn’t even crack any top 100 lists. “Prints money” is the most ridiculous statement I may have ever seen. She’s not even the most popular member of her current make shift tag team.

@itsmekelsey_x They can always do a face turn sis.

You do realize that division has 10 heels in it right? Both Jacy and Blake going there would make it 12. Mind you that there’s only 5 babyfaces with Rhea now there.

@Thallbuju @chidex_com Saturday's pop disagrees but okay.

@Kata_Funk @chidex_com Literally crazy because that isn't true

@Thecoachrules Ron Killings would like to have a word.

Nick like most fans you clearly did listen to us. Vince said he WAS popular in Vegas which we acknowledged. But if you don’t change up what you do or keep the curse thing going fans get real sick real fast on the same thing. Please don’t be like everyone else and make the narrative not what we said.
