@WWEGP I don’t think Vince changed the finish to the main event of WM39

People misconstruing this are exhausting. Mania 40 was when Vince was completely gone, but in the 18-20 months before that he had limited input. Triple H isn’t saying Vince was in total control as he had been before, but he still was involved. He was barely ever at TV or in creative meetings. He changed the finish of Cody vs Roman at Mania 39, as well as Finn vs Edge at the same show. He got Omos vs Brock on that Mania and completely rewrote the Raw the night after, widely considered one of the worst ever post-Mania Raws. Vince didn’t want Sami as a long term fixture in the Bloodline. He was done for good before the Rumble 2024 and the Mania build after that was perhaps the greatest ever Road to WrestleMania in history. Most of what we saw between the second half of 2022 to the beginning of 2024 was still Triple H and his team’s creative, with Vince adding bits and pieces and basically approving scripts remotely. If memory serves correctly, pretty sure WWE began advertising cards for Raw and SmackDown a week in advance so Vince couldn’t really change much as he didn’t want to rip apart already advertised shows. Triple H has plenty of faults in his creative and his past year or so has dropped off significantly, but to think the same Vince McMahon that was putting together WWE creative between 2016-2021 was suddenly responsible for the white hot product we saw between the second half of 2022-beginning of 2024 is LUNACY.

Triple H considers WrestleMania 40 his first full WrestleMania as Chief Content Officer, comments on Vince McMahon ‘still directing traffic’ before that: “It’s not like one day, ‘Here, it's yours’ and everything else went away, right? There was so many aspects to that of, ‘Hey, Vince is stepping away. You're gonna take this spot.’ But he's chiming in and he's still meeting with me all the time, and he's still directing traffic from the side. And there's no real clear moment for me, but I would consider [WrestleMania 40] that, yes. The only thing that is difficult in that transition, you're trying to… at the end of the day when people are like, ‘But it's your decision, right?’ ‘Yeah, sorta.’ And you have to defend your position and you have to be able to sell that to people, and explain it to people if it's a little bit not your position or a little bit, ‘Well, why did this happen?’ And you don't want to say, ‘Well because it wasn't totally my decision.’ And not because you don't want to seem like you don't have that power, but you have to position it that way.“ (What Do You Wanna Talk About?)

@NoahRevoy Great post until the sleep bit. How can you catch up on sleep when you work full time and have many other responsibilities outside parenting?

Newborns are fairly easy. They sleep most of the day. They are only awake for a few hours, and while they are awake they are eating and being changed, then they go back to sleep again. Babies are a little more work, but they still sleep most of the day. What is really difficult is toddlers. As soon as they become mobile, as soon as they can crawl, they get into everything. If they are awake you have to be watching them, or you have to put them in a playpen, which I do not like. I prefer not to restrict my children’s movement like that. I prefer to prepare the house so it meets their needs. Then they start walking and it becomes even harder. Around five or six years old, something changes. If you have been teaching them, they can begin doing a lot of chores. They can clean up after themselves, get dressed, feed themselves properly, and handle many small responsibilities. Children can begin learning these things earlier, but around that age they usually become good enough that you do not need to intervene very much. After that point it gradually becomes logistically easier to take care of them. It may become more expensive in some ways, but it becomes easier from a logistical standpoint. Your focus shifts more toward moral training, bonding, and guiding them. What this means is that if you have children under the age of five, especially multiple children, it can be very difficult. The good news is that this phase only lasts for a certain period of time. After that it becomes easier again, assuming you train your children well. All of this assumes the children are healthy. If a child has serious health issues, that is a completely different situation. The key to getting through the under five stage is to simplify everything. Everything needs to be as simple as possible and as organized as possible, and ideally you should do that before you get yourself into that position. I would say the period when you have a newborn at home is when you should begin simplifying everything. What does that mean? First, have a simple roster of meals that repeat. Cook the same things every week or every two weeks in a cycle. Choose easy meals. One pot meals, or meals you can put in the oven and let them cook. They can still be homemade, nutritious, and very tasty. The point is to choose meals with very little preparation. Ideally something that takes fifteen to twenty minutes to prepare. The cooking time does not matter because the oven handles that, not you. Second, remove everything from your house that is not required for raising your children, at least from the areas where the kids spend their time. This way you do not have to worry about them breaking things or getting into things they should not touch. Empty space is perfectly fine. If the floor is cold, put down some mats so they have a place to play. A simple open area and a few toys is all they need. One small box of toys is enough. A two or three foot wide box with perhaps a dozen toys inside. A box of Duplos, a couple of stuffed animals, a few balls, maybe a few soft books. You may own more toys than that, but only keep a small number out at any one time. That way cleaning up after them takes five minutes at most. You also need to set up your bathing and changing stations so that everything follows an efficient pattern of movement. You move from one step to the next and it is done. You should be able to change your baby half asleep in the middle of the night. The only way that works is if everything is laid out very clearly. Nothing to trip over, nothing to bump into, and everything kept simple. One smart idea my wife came up with was to buy LED candles and place them in the areas of the house where you need to go at night to care for the baby. That way she could wake up half asleep, change the baby, and not need to switch bright lights on and off. She could stay half asleep and do everything almost on autopilot. That helped us tremendously. Our challenge was that we live in a small apartment and it is easy to accumulate too many things. Even so, simplifying the space helped a great deal. If you have older children when you have younger ones, that can make a big difference. For example, if you have a ten year old and new babies, that ten year old can be very helpful if they have been well trained. They can handle all of their own responsibilities, keep their own toys and mess organized, and help with things like loading and unloading the dishwasher, running the washing machine and dryer, folding clothes, or watching the baby for a moment while you step away. Those small contributions make a real difference. At this stage your biggest problem is not necessarily the amount of work. There is not actually that much total volume if you have simplified things properly. If you find there is a huge amount to do, it usually means you did not simplify earlier. The real challenge is interrupted sleep. You may lose two or three hours of sleep each night, and that loss adds up if you do not make it up during the day. The good news is that small children sleep a lot. Babies sleep a lot, toddlers sleep a lot. If you organize things properly, when your toddler sleeps, you sleep as well until you catch up. Then you can use some of their sleep time to get other things done. The whole approach is about reducing overhead as much as possible while still caring properly for yourself and for the children. Even if you do everything well, you will probably become more and more tired during the stage when your children are very small. The good news is that it does not last forever. Once they grow older you recover. Sometimes you simply have to endure the season. It passes, and you will make it through. Everyone else does. You can too.

I am in two different mindsets when it comes to Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes III happening at WrestleMania 42. On the one hand, it’s my favourite rivalry of all time, they’re 1-1, they have insane chemistry — the third match was inevitable & will no doubt be amazing. However, something about it feels weird, I almost don’t care? I’m sure they’ll have a fantastic feud & the outcome is very much up in the air which adds a lot of intrigue but as of right now I have very little interest. But this is Roman Reigns & Cody Rhodes we’re talking about here, so if anyone can change my mind, it’s them.

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!
