I think there could be an argument for it if you ACKNOWLEDGE the baggage it carries but think that the baggage can be shed.

But if your argument (like Kellys) hinges on I dont get what the big deal is? then it shows that youre too ignorant about it to make a salient point.

Yeah. I agree with this.

But I think being ignorant is not something to be outraged about. It's something to correct the person on, see how they react, and move on or become outraged depending on where they go from there.
---

I think Megyn Kelly has a track record of ignorance to a point where said ignorance actually seems feigned. Because it's easier to ask a question and backpedal than make a statement and backpedal.
---

Sure, though I feel like its pretty far down the scale of ignorance to decide to have a panel discussion about blackface without a single black person on the panel.

LOL I made a fake-out topic about cancelling WWE Network (inspired by Steiner) on SquaredCircle and it's like the #2 topic there right now.
---

It would have been #1 if it were about Meltzer.

I tried to post it from the Tokyo Dome.

WWE has taken a brave stand and has pulled superstar appearances from the Megyn Kelly show after her controversial comments in support of blackface

WWE stands for Were Woke Entertainment

did we talk in here about hulk hogan saying he's looking forward to going to saudi arabia yet?

So apparently house shows numbers are barely making a profit and that they will likely be running at a loss soon.

Vince has said that house show numbers used to be an indicator of how business is going, but he knows how to do something to fix it going forward. I have no idea what that could possibly be.
---

Cena is apparently 100% off of Crown Jewel. No word on Daniel Bryan yet.
---

Even more bad news... Samoa Joe is injured and Lashley is working injured.

It would definitely be the right kind of match to have him pull a guitar out of some concealed location and beat someone with it.

And is it like

I dont believe in their policies or

I dont feel safe to go
---

I think it's completely a PR thing.
---

Cena is in an entirely different situation. Because he is the face of WWE and also the guy who is already trying to make it big on Hollywood. I imagine Cena seeing John Oliver tear into him think it could get even worse if he is stuck in the middle of this and hurt his chances on Hollywood.

I also imagine it's because he has a big heart and gets this and can actually stand up and refuse, not unlike Daniel Bryan.
---

I popped in because of the wreddit thing lol. Since WWE is actively linking to SquaredCircle right now for some Becky Lynch AMA you're doing gods work

Yeah I saw that, and Im super curious to learn what Vinces secret plan to fix house shows is
---

Elias face turn was pretty exciting. Probably the only exciting thing on either show this week outside of Ambrose. I got through both in about an hour total combined pretty sad

Dave has a controversial plan on how to fix house shows
---

I'm assuming that's the WWE HoF because I can't really figure out any living WON Hall of Famers that would both hold such an opinion and be coherent enough to send a Twitter message over it that would end with "silent majority has been awakened."

By the way, speaking of which, if CIMA doesn't get inducted this time around, my yearly rant about it is going to put those of prior years to shame.

He talked about this a lot today actually.

He said that WWE house shows have always been indicative of star power since they never get bad reviews from house shows. And that the lack of star power is evident now since they've failed to make any stars and struggled to even name any left now.

I think they should first lower the number of house shows. Do they really need a Smackdown house show on Mondays during Raw and a Raw house show on Tuesdays during Smackdown? It would help a lot so the wrestlers can rest their bodies.

Isnt Lawler in both?
---

Yeah, but I feel like he'd fail the second half of that test. Maybe I'm not giving him enough "credit."

Actually yes, because the wrestlers would rather be working on Monday making money than just chilling in a hotel, away from their families, and NOT making money.

They will 100% be dropped once SD moves to Friday though

EDIT: Also there is no Raw Tuesday house show

The Mizark thing was hilarious. I'm not sure what Piper was going for.

This was Hacksaw Jim Duggan btw.

And I guess Ronda Rousey defended this too.

Ronda has had issues with ignorance in the past

I wonder what Hacksaws deal is
---

They've never explicitly said what Hacksaw's deal is, but I was always impressed at his level of achievement given the obstacles he had to overcome.
---

This week's Main Roster Product has sucked noodles.

Big Limp ones.

Did enjoy Itami/Ali though and NXT had a good opener.
---

Don't know if it was pointed out but Impact lost half its viewers switching time slots.

The end is near.
---

I think Jak asked a while ago how to send the biggest message to WWE about the network

I THINK its get as many subs and buys as you can for Evolution and support it

and then cancel AFTER Crown Jewel

This is kind of nonsense. Then you're just saying you bought it for Crown Jewel and that's all you wanted to see.

The biggest message is to just cancel. Like now. Just do it. Because if you don't they will never improve or stop having shitty practices.
---

Well his thinking was get it for evolution and then cancel

If you cancel evolution I think the message they get is the women cause the cancel
---

I mean if you cancel after Crown Jewel, that implies you wanted to see Crown Jewel
---

There really is no connection between the Network and Crown Jewel though, besides the fact that its airing there

They could lose every single subscriber and that wouldnt stop the Saudi shows. It would stop the MYC. It would stop NXT.
---

Alexa Bliss is out at Evolution due to injury, replaced by Alicia Fox.

Timeline seems to fit that it was Ronda. Hopefully they stop pairing the two together. Sucks that she has to miss such a huge, historic event like that.
