John says Roman Reigns looks like a pedophile :hubie:

John Oliver is the one saying that? Has that bespectacled ostrich ever looked in a fukkin' mirror? :mjlol:

There's a thousand things to make fun of Roman Reigns for (I know, I've written several hundred) that hack shyt was never on the list. :francis:

I've said it before, all these comedians coming from overseas to "satirize" America just don't get the culture enough to be satirists, that's why they stick to "highbrow" political humor, because any time they descend into pop culture, they just reveal themselves to be condescending a$$holes. :hubie:

That stupid ass joke aside, his points are valid. :yeshrug:

Here's the full vid


Saw this last night, when Vince snapped back in the interview asking why so many wrestlers die under the age of 45 with "why don't you ask yourself that question?" :picard:

Knowing these stories is one thing but hearing that Punk story and realizing Roman just beat cancer and went right back to work is insane. As much as I love wrestling, Vince does treat them like circus acts. Honestly, why are they not considered employees at this point?

Lol at the angry neckbeards and Republicans upset in here.

The full video is great, it's a service to the wrestlers first and foremost and shines a light on WWE's bullshyt "independent contractor" scam that they're somehow still getting away with in 2019.

The chart was fukked up

Hitgoat spoke facts with conviction as usual.

It definitely makes Vince look like a piece of shyt, which he obviously is. That interview was equal parts hilarious and cringey.

Oliver doesnt bury WWE entirely because he pauses every couple minutes to say how awesome wrestling is and he peppers entertaining clips throughout the whole thing.

I dont think there will be any Mania chants for changes like he tried to inspire, though. Mostly because theres no easy, catchy chant that people can all get behind and communicate that WWE should provide healthcare and time off to the people the company uses to exist and make billions.

The Roman joke was bad but even the point he made about Roman is something everyone here has complained about lol.

Everything he talks about in segment we have discussed but god forbid an outsider says anything critical about WWE and Lord McMahon, you guys go into full attack mode. Forget controlling your wallet, Vince controls most of your minds too. Outside of a bad joke, everything in that video is 100% facts.

Appreciate the fact that, unlike most reporters talking about wrestlers, he is informed about it and not a lie was told (Except that Roman Reigns joke).

Nothing will be done about this, unfortunately. Unless a "Health care" chant breaks while Kurt Angle is struggling to have his last match this Sunday.

The Roman joke was just bad/not funny. Sadly that will probably eclipse everything else on that video, specially given Roman's situation and comeback. Kinda weird he chose him to make fun of considering they clearly made their homework and had to know his case.

Good video, an intelligent TV piece on wrestling is very fukking rare :obama:
