Being that Deadspin is, y’know, not a wrestling website, and that the whole Saudi thing just went down, I don’t really see how 70% WWE/30% non-WWE is that bad? (Which becomes 9/15 WWE and 6/15 non-WWE without the Saudi-related stories.) I’m here to write about the big stories and the stuff that’s interesting in a… Read more

I literally interviewed his son-in-law (who took his last name!) that worked as his right hand for years for my Nakamura article last year, you fucking idiot. And have a podcast that’s plugged at the end of all of my articles where almost every episode covers NJPW and most covering the late ‘90s-’early 2000s has us… Read more

oh look, it’s that guy that pretended I never write about non-WWE wrestling on here, this person clearly has a very valuable and well-informed opinion. Read more

I’ll say it, isn’t curious that one for the oldest friends of the sitting president, going back atleast to the 80s and is the biggest donor to his foundation has been been reportedly been paid tens of millions and reportedly more during the length of this 10-year deal?

Who’s “upset,” exactly? I’ve been writing about WWE and politics here constantly, and it’s a huge shift from their recent stance WRT political content on their TV. In their current top feud, to boot. And I’m not a staffer, so I kind of have to come up with ideas that would be good fits for this specific site as much… Read more

Also it’s literally how you’re supposed to do this. Read more

Sure, but almost all of the other insults were common right wing rhetoric. Read more

You mean the same Ricky Gervais who’s repeatedly been criticized for being a right wing shithead who pretends he’s not one for the last several years? Seems like it fits just fine. Read more

Yes and no: Heyman is producing her, but he’s been encouraging her to use her own words. Read more

Entertainment sports are still sports. :) Read more

I really hope this is a reference to something specific. Read more

“That she’s a Sandy Hook truther who ripped off Ben Shapiro’s catchphrase is immaterial to all this!” Read more

She literally used a direct synonym of Ben Shapiro’s catchphrase. Read more

Right: This is the most recent data I’ve seen on the political leanings, but wrestling fans are further to the left than most sports fans, being right around WNBA fans on the continuum. WWE programming also reliably over-indexes with black and Latinx viewers compared to other programming with a similar audience size… Read more

I didn’t put it in the article because it would get distracting and confuse the issue, but this had to be a shot at Ariel Helwani, right? After all, she felt that the MMA media “turned” on her and had a lot of animus for him in particular for especially stupid reasons.
