Though honestly Quack was pretty much who I thought he was. A greedy arrogant and super controlling business man. Also a great wrestler, a good trainer good booker with some creative ideas and a passion for CHIKARA. CHIKARA was like Disney, family friendly product but not a family friendly behind the scenes.

Just sucks that there were multiple trainers doing bad shit under his watch and that the company's brand meant it couldnt survive it.

Well also it sucks that he ignored it, and then continues to deny accountability for it after it was brought to light

Its very Joe Paterno

Yeah there are definitely some real questions about what he knew and when.

He did fire multiple people for shit before that though like Kobald and Rory Gulak (I believe he basically brought the Rory stuff to light). So I wonder if it was just a favoritism thing that made him ignore the others or whether he was not willing to see/admit it was happening.

He will never admit responsibility though. Beyond just saying it shouldn't have happened under his watch/in his company at least.

R-Truth and his 24/7 championship means there was always a chance.

Angel Garza just won it before midnight and broke Francesca V or whatever in the process.

Also apparently WWE did hold back on doing any significant tributes for Brodie Lee until after AEW did there's, hence why that video with all the interviews was not released until after Wednesday.

Also Jericho kept using Rowan and Excalibur had to remind him it was Redbeard.

Also based on YouTube Algorithms, I was recommended the episode of UUDD Father/Son Rocket League and Brodie was on that. And to kind of show you the type of man he was, he actually left so Big E could take his place because that was his son's favorite wrestler.

WWE writing at its finest on legends night

- Drew shows respect in various segments to retired legends (okay, just Hogan and Jimmy Hart, but still...)
- Drew retains WWE title against Keith Lee
- Goldberg appears and claims Drew doesn't respect anyone, and challenges him to a WWE title match at Royal Rumble

All of this while Orton spent half the evening disrespecting legends.

AEW is moving from Daily's Place to Miami because Jacksonville is too cold to keep shooting outdoors.

Which worries me because the Miami area was ground zero for Covid in Florida. I don't know if it's got any better since I left but I wouldn't want to be shooting there.

And eventually Raw Underground disappeared when Thunderdome came out.

Retribution was a poorly developed stable that got defeated upon arrival by another group of heels and is now feuding with Ricochet.

Actually I think it was less Thunderdome and more "they kept having outbreaks with NXT talent in the RAW Underground audience and decided to shelf it for now".

Actually, would it be shelf or shelve?

But I think they moved into the Thunderdome before RAW Underground was cancelled.

Wyatt vs Strowman in the swamp

Close enough since he appears at the end.

Besides, I'd sit through a whole year of Fiend before another week of Retribution. At the very least, Fiend shares the 2019 award with Rollins.

I look at this list and I'm like "This all seems bad, but not like stand-out bad like usual." But this is easily the worst year of WWE ever, almost unanimously agreed upon.

So was everything just equal bits awful, or is it just that I'm so numb to stupid shit they do that none of it stands out? I guess Retribution almost made me ironically watch again...? (Until I realized how much I'd need to sit through to see dumb not-Antifa segments)
