  - its fake! He is faking! - Jovian Aug 30, 11:02 2
    - why though? it's not like it helps him to look weak. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 11:52 1

- These look either like minor strokes, or alzheimer's (potentially with aphasia (my father in law had this and it looks familiar)). -- nm - pmb Aug 30, 10:51

Pete, why in the world would the Elite get EVP titles stripped? - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 30, 10:28 15
- It did indeed start because of them. But I think the company has grown past having active wrestlers be execs... - Remlik Aug 30, 10:43 7
  - This is pretty much Republican vs. Democratic politics personified in a wrestling discussion. - David Aug 30, 10:59 6
    - I agree with you, except for AEW bringing Punk back a second time. Otherwise, the company hasn’t really changed much since the start. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 11:21 3
      - Yeah. I like Punk (I think he's a complex person), but he should never have been brought back. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 30, 11:55 1
        
        I think it's worse that Ace Steel was brought back. - the wrong element Aug 30, 12:14
      - I'm pretty sure that was Zaslav's call. And you know what we think of Zaslav... -- nm - David Aug 30, 11:43
    - I don't think AEW is terribly run...yet. And all your points about WWE is correct and I don't disagree. - Remlik Aug 30, 11:07 1
      - The question is why you and others spend so much time criticizing the upstart with the good intentions and the superior product? -- nm - David Aug 30, 11:11
- TK just doesn’t have the stomach to lead but I’m not sure who does there. - Will Hunting Aug 30, 10:42 5
  - He's barely even built a company from scratch into earning 9 figures annually after just four years... -- nm - David Aug 30, 10:53 4
    - That’s not management in terms of personnel. Most startups are filled with stupid unacceptable bullshit. That’s a management failure - Will Hunting Aug 30, 11:01 3
      - See above. You're wrong on this one. -- nm - David Aug 30, 11:02 2
        
        Blind allegiance to an unfit leader…you sure you wanna go GOP vs Democrat on this one? -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 30, 11:09 1
        
        I mean, yes since Vince *is* Trump. You don't even watch AEW, and it's brutally obvious. You only go by the shitposts you read, which are never right. -- nm - David Aug 30, 11:16
- Yeah, the Elite didn’t do anything here. -- nm - Tim Aug 30, 10:31
