Like I kept sitting there and waiting for the moment when they'd just beat the shit out of Shane because there's no way Shane is equipped to host this thing week to week but MVP would be perfect for it. Like turning it into a believable fight club where MVP makes money off of it via betting, Lashley is the enforcer/bouncer, and Shelton is the prized fighter who takes of a mixture of no-name jobbers and actual wrestlers week after week. I mean they are literally called "The Hurt Business" i.e. they profit from hurting people. Randomly beating people up makes them the Hurt Charity.

It's like... it's right there. If you insist on making this a thing, fine, but you had a moment where you could have made a reason for it to exist, especially for these 3 characters that really don't need to be a faction.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

AND THIS WAS LITERALLY AFTER YOU MADE THEM LOOK LIKE JOKES EARLIER IN THE SHOW.

MVP couldn't beat Apollo Crews.
Shelton Benjamin, even with Lashley and MVP at ringside, couldn't win a no-DQ match to retain his title against fucking Akira Tozawa and R-Truth.

And now ooooooh they're a scary group because they beat up some lame-o's that aren't even named wrestlers. You had Erik and Ivar there earlier. You had Dolph Ziggler. Let them get tossed around to show that they're actually a worthwhile group. How was this your big hook to help with your pitiful 3rd hour numbers?

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Like if you ever wanted a microcosm of WWE problems, the final shot featured 4 men and the "youngest" of the group was 44 year old Bobby Lashley.

Not your (relatively well-booked) Babyface Champion Drew McIntyre.

Or even your current double champs Bayley and/or Sasha Banks.

Nope, 3 dudes in their 40's and 1 dude in his 50's, and the 3 dudes spent the entire time beating up no-name people we don't care about.

Yeah, remember how they hyped them up for months and then Vince decided he didn't like it and proceeded to have them all squashed when they debuted?

Good times.

Funny part is that he had them beat New Day in their debut.

And then immediately gave up on them.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Wait they're called the Hurt Business.

So the final scene was a bunch of 40 year old dudes beating up some no names in a non-ring.

And the anarchists haven't been revealed. Hey remember when NXT had a group of anarchists that showed up on hoods and face masks?

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

So the ending was just Beatdown Club beating up random people.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Jesus Christ Shelton Benjamin is super jacked.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Jesus they must really want Rey to re-sign. Dominik literally clowning Seth Rollins week after week.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

And for an NXT commerical they used the tagline "Welcome to the Underground."

How many undergrounds does this company have?

This RAW honest to god sounds like a giant fever dream. Why is Rollins cutting a promo on Tom Who-Gives-a-Fuck Phillips!?

Because Tom laughed at him for getting beat up by Dominik Guerrero.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Seth Rollins is cutting a promo on Tom Phillips, and a bunch of guys are yelling "You suck, Tom!"

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

There are now men and women in black outfits throwing molotov cocktails at WWE equipment.

Don't worry

After a few months of this, they'll learn about shaky cam for fights.

If its good enough to Liam Neeson, it's good enough for WWE.

I wasn't allowed to watch the Nitro Girls segments as a kid so frickin' sign me up

I'm not super into eye candy these days but it's the forbidden fruit man

Just you wait until these segments somehow draw stupidly high numbers and suddenly Asuka and Sasha are fighting for the RAW women's title in a Bra and Panties match.

What are you talking about, I did a great job of booking Baron Corbin in literally everything.

"When Baron Corbin is not on screen, everyone should be asking 'Where's Corbin?'"

this seems like a poor investment but hey maybe it'll be fun

I feel like the sensible thing would be to sell it back to Vince in 20 years when he gets the itch again.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

What if it's us, the WWE Universe, again?

We weren't very good as the Authority, maybe we'll get it right as the Faction!

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I appreciate that all the responses are whataboutism.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Shane McMahon over Adam Cole would confirm that Cole is out in August.

Also last time I got my results back in 3 days but Florida has gone to hell in a handbasket and now it's about 10 days.

Also strange, the WWE stock isn't bouncing back after their announcement that they had four times the profit increase as last year's quarter. It peaked after the conference call and has started to go down again.

I assume because it isn't a long-term sustainable model.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I finally happened to find a CVS that had an open appointment but I had to drive 40 miles to get it. It was also self-administered which I was not prepared for. I did not much like sticking that swab up my nose.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

My appointment was cancelled, currently waiting in the hot sun at a different location.

KCF beat you to it. You can fight among yourselves for it but by default he gets first dibs.

why dont you open these before leaving the store?

Because in my decades of going to Gamestop I've never had this happen before.

But I guess from now on I will.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

So I ended up with two copies of Mega Man 11?

I just opened up my copy of Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for the Switch and found Breath of the Wild in there.

PS if anyone wants a copy of Mega Man 11 for the Xbone hit me up in a PM.

Also it seems like eating suppresses it. I also took a couple of benadyrl last night and knocked myself out until morning, which wasn't exactly the greatest idea but then again I really, really don't want to get a huge hospital bill.

But I do feel this pressure on my chest the whole time. I was originally thinking maybe tonsillitis since I get that all the time but without the phlegm I don't think it can be that.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I went the urgent care center route instead of the hospital route and I have a covid test scheduled for tomorrow morning. It really appears to be just the cough because when they did my temperature check I came in at 98.8 degrees, even though I feel hot. It's still weird that I'm not producing any phlegm, either.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Did people in PWG just like saying the n-word or something?

here's a nice thread that I expect every one of you to dismiss out of hand

Probably because its literally not true.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

He went back to Michigan for the Summer.

And like it's a cough like you're trying to loosen something up, but nothing ever comes out. There's no phlegm. It's just consistent almost non-stop coughing.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

To the point where it's causing me to gag and dry heave even though there's nothing in my stomach (what little that was ended up on the kitchen floor). And I'm starting to feel pretty hot.

Unfortunately I don't know how I'll get a test with all the facilities shut down in Florida. But considering the other topic where 3 of my coworkers called out sick, I've got to believe this is Corona.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Gallows said that the WWE Locker room had improved immensely from his first run with the company, and he puts a lot of that on Roman Reigns being the new locker room leader.

Its too bad they never get his character right because like no one ever has a bad word to say about him.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I bought them, even though all the games are available on Switch Online, I think.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Bump just in case.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Because Corbin kept calling him Chad instead of Shorty G.

The Fiend was the one who paid $400 to ask Alexa Bliss out.

Wait was it The Fiend, FFH Bray, or Bayou Bray?

Smackdown apparently ended with The Fiend attacking... Alexa Bliss.

@STElNER

So I got done with the Makabe/Thatcher trilogy (and it was awesome). I'm wondering what other Dan Makabe matches I should watch.

Well, I guess maybe us both being naked isn't mundane, I really don't know much about massages and she's a licensed massage therapist so I give her the benefit of the doubt.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

So I was gonna make a sequel topic called "I was previously under a naked woman of my own volition" but I don't think it was worth another topic as it was just a mundane massage.

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

But it does help them get the discount rate.

I'm sure he had birthday parties in WWF. Most everyone was probably blitzed to shit at strip clubs, rather than eating cake.

Those aren't really birthday parties. They're more "excuses to do coke off of stripper's titties."

---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I'm not saying "evil Cody forced Matt to come out and wrestle."

I'm saying that based on a short term deal like that, I don't think Matt was desperate to get back to wrestling. Unlike say the Good Brothers who immediately signed two year deals.
