>Hey, Paul, is it true that night one was a massive fumble?>Th-th-this interview is over.
I doubt Paul can move that fast anymore
>>20281629I unironically feel kind of bad for him. I'm sure he knows things weren't great tonight but he's got people telling him to put on a good show but he has to use c list celebrities, shitters, and womeme while leaving room for three hours of commercials. He spent the better part of his adult life trying to weasel his way into the throne and ended being a glorified wagie.
>>20281743Probably shouldn't have spent decades being a total cuntkarma collects
>>20281671You should see him when Steph rings the annual pussy bell. "Paul! Your pussy's ready-" [running footsteps, then a jump]"ARRRRRGUGUGUGUGUGAHSHGS!"
>>20281743>>20282905It is really funny though. He wanted to be the heir and he wanted the crown but now he's just a pussy-whipped bitchboy for his WALLED wife and TKO.
But did you enjoy the show? It's the start of a new era!
>>20281743>>20282905Its the monkey's paw wish. He's now in charge of WWE but now he has to answer to corporate shareholders. This is what he gets for stepping on so many people.
>>20281743It was Vince's final revenge. Vince knew his number was up and selling to TKO was his final fuck you so the sycophants like Paul and Nick Khan couldn't win. He knew what would happen selling to TKO, and he knew he wouldn't have to deal with it.
>>20283524damn, HHH and Nick Khan got filthy rich from the sale.... Vince sure showed them.
>>20281743It must be frustrating knowing its shit and also knowing why it's shit and how to fix it, but being unable to because the shareholders will get mad. Being forced to have 2 hours of ads which means a bunch of matches get bumped off the card, being forced to use e-celebs, being forced to use Pat McAfee in the main event.
>>20281629Have companies always gone to shit after becoming publicly traded (and without a meme x1000 voting power stock) or is it a more recent thing?
>>20283683Always. Because then your method of earning money starts to come from shareholders, not from customers. So you start doing things to appease to those shareholders instead of what the customer wants.
>>20283683More or less, the problem is that the line has to go up every year at the expense of if it's even sustainable, so they have to resort to more and more brazen ways to squeeze all possible value out of it. We're going to see wrestlers with Slim Jim ads on their gear before it eventually just collapses
>>20283509How many eras are we on now?
>>20283774kek what an era merchant
>>20281629kekola
>>20283774I still remember when he said he had plans deep into the future. Fuck him.
>>20283538>he thinks money matters at that level more than control and crushing people
>>20283524Pretty much.I actually think he wanted Shane to take over, but Shane didn't have the RUTHLESS AGGRESSION to deal with a politicking shitbag like HHH or his cunt sister. So rather than give it to Shane who'd inevitably be kneecapped and usurped by them anyway, he sold it to people who would fuck on him in order to ensure they also fucked on Hunter and Cunt. Only way to make sure they never got to win.
>>20283697that part. an entertainment company should be focused on pleasing their fans, not the corporate faggots who try to act like kings and emperors instead of businessmen.
>>20283774The whole eras thing is heavy recency bias. In the future it'll all get condensed to> whatever happened around the 1960s, idk> Hogan / Flair era> Attitude era> Vince slowly gets worse for 20 years era> tko era
>>20283538Vince also got filthy rich with it and doesn't have to act as a wagie to TKO.
>>20285424That was before TKO started getting more involved. The green line didn't go up fast enough!
