I was looking at my YouTube feed and I saw that Impact Wrestling posted

Unbreakable Michael Elgin Theme Song & Entrance Video

I was so so so hoping it was a rework of the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt theme

It was not :-(

Just a reminder that WWE thinks one way to stop falling ratings is to have Roman Reigns invade Raw against company orders

After being gone just 2 weeks

To a show with similar falling ratings since he got there

Panic mode is too strong a term. But without a shot in the arm, they were looking at a record low number.

Roman Reigns on Raw is the shot in the arm this show needs! No one has ever seen Roman Reigns on Raw before

Do you guys agree with Vince McMahon that one way to give Raw a ratings boost is to send SD Superstars like Roman Reigns to the show? Isnt that a fresh idea!!

I have to call a spade a spade and say that Im really unimpressed by a lot of NJPWs storytelling this month

Naito gets an IC shot without winning any singles matches since he lost it because he wants one and Ibushi said okay

Sanada gets the first shot at Okada because Okada beat him and wants to wrestle again, while Sanada does nothing to earn it

Jericho gets a shot at Okada because he sent in a video demanding it I guess despite losing his last match in New Japan to Naito

Not compelling challengers Gedo

Like I think the point is that Roman declares he wants to be on Raw this week, but the MCMAHONS WONT LET HIM, so when he inevitably does show up, you know he really got one over on old man Vince!

So basically Vince and the gang have cooked the books so that they can create tax breaks for the company by giving themselves enough bonuses to tip the revenue from profit to loss
---

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large

Dave with a note on WWE Corporate ethics

There are a few things notable in these numbers. The first is that taxes make the gap between the two years seem closer than they really are in profit/loss. The companys net, before taxes, this year was a loss of $11,349,000, but the company received $2,953,000 from the government due to the losses when it came to taxes. And the losses were actually due to $12,828,000 in senior management compensation due to bonuses paid this quarter based on meeting performance levels in 2018. Last year the executive bonuses were $7,073,000.

Theres something totally legal but amazingly unsettling when you think about the tax implications in this first quarter, a company that paid nearly $13 million in bonuses and got a $3 million tax break to cover a percentage of losses both in the same quarter.

Not that this wont change 25 times in the next year, but the reason they are putting Lynch vs. Flair at Money in the Bank is that they have a different match planned for next years Mania for Lynch. The only thing we know is that shes slotted to be the top woman on that show, and her opponent is not scheduled to be either Flair or Rousey at this point. If Rousey wants to return for that show, that match isnt out of the question but it is not the planned match.

Originally Lynch vs. Flair had been the lead idea for 2020 leading to this past years Mania and was part of the reason for the three-way. Another part was to try and use Mania to elevate two women, and not one, to true superstar status so each could carry a brand.

From the Observer, a report about Harper but also with some info about Braun and EC3

The update on Harper is that Vince McMahon, in writing, told him he wouldnt release him.

He was earmarked to work a program with Zayn after Mania, but the decision was made not to do it. One person close to the situation told us that he needs to get out because they made a call that they werent going to use him after Vince saw him in his return. Vince said that he didnt get him and complained that he couldnt even do a Southern accent (that was from them wanting him to do a Southern accent four years ago).

He was regularly pitching ideas when he was out with an injury and they turned down every pitch. He wasnt booked anywhere after being cleared but Fan Axxess, and then Vince McMahon out of the blue wanted to know why he wasnt in the Battle Royal, so thats why he was put in at the last minute. Apparently the end was a mess as Strowman forgot his spots, which is one of the reasons Strowman hasnt done much since winning.

He was booked to start the Zayn program the day after Mania, but was then told after Mania he wasnt needed for TV. So he went home, but then was called to comeback on Tuesday for a match with EC 3. He was basically used as the opponent to test out the EC 3 and Maverick pairing as wrestler/manager. The agents set up a bunch of manager spots in the match. Vince then watched it and said he hated the manager spots. The creative meeting the day of the draft when it was asked about which brand Harper would be on, Vince said how the guy cant even do a Southern accent, said the match with EC 3 was bad, so they didnt put him with either brand and thats when he asked for his release.

Braun dont tell me you had to be coached through your spots by SNL guys

This completely contradicts your entire nationalist philosophy

Oh really? How so? Just because a nation's space expands on other planets doesn't mean it ceases to exist.

Because you dont think other nations should live on other peoples land

You think every ethnicity should just stay in the region God ordained them to be in and not permanently settle in someone elses region

The moment you advocate living somewhere you arent from you negate your entire world view.

Youve never answered the question as to whether space colonization should be strictly segregated by Earth ethnic groups
