Ric Flair caught by surprise by Raw Segment

[reserved_one]

So are we still going to support and watch RAW?


We all know Vince & the company has done some fukked up shyt over the years, but this right here takes the cake. Exploiting a man's death for the satisfaction of gaining some cheap heat and ratings for an angle that was trash to start with.

All this happens the 1 week Becky isn't on raw.

This IS interesting if executed right.

Charlotte- zero acting ability or charisma, Paige- very little acting ability or charisma. Needed a Nikki Bella to make it work

She was good in the indies. Don't blame her for cokeboy and Haitch's misuse.

That ship has been sailed.

I think a lot of folks still watch to laugh and discuss things on TSC. Understandable and it is fun to be in the TSC threads during the show.

I even got bored of that though not due to the TSC brehs of course. Just bored of wrestling in general, even the good stuff I kinda find hard to care about. I just visit the news sites to see what's going on.

Same here. I was skipping everything until the PPV's until I found the Coli and even then not really watching them eother and getting the news. Now I'm reliving a little youth seeing how the TSC reacts. I'm sure that'll pass too, but I do enjoy you lot.

And y'aw was saying Vince would never do something like bring La Resistance back to capitalize on the Paris bombinng.

Vince will do whatever.

I was listening to Patrice O'neal talk about how Tiger Singh didn't want to keep doing the foreign gimmick... (Patrice was a WWE writer for awhile) and Vince told him "Put your fukking turbin on."


Vince has no chill

TSC is the GOAT wrestling forum/board when it comes to relaxing, super down to earth people over here. The atmosphere is usually just chill. There's sometimes heated arguments, I usually stay away from that. I come online to relax and have fun. The coli is good for that.

Flair only pissed cuz he couldn't demand more money.

Amen. One of the many reasons I like TSC more than any other board is that it's laidback. Ain't no 20 threads made every hour complaining about X Superstar and shyt like that

That's why I don't exonerate Charlotte from this debacle as most fans are. I really don't think she cared as much about her half brother (I have one I care about but not vice versa who actually tries to undermine me to take up more family prestige) as much as people think as well. They all were probably trying to come up with something edgy, and she didn't think it all the way through, along with the brass.

The brass has shown, over and over again, that they don't give a shyt about Ric Flair, other than he can be a heat and legacy machine that they can use at times. They know the fans will ALWAYS love and respect him, and that can bury talent, so they use him sparingly. He could easily, and wanted to, be a manager for a talent that needs a catalyst to get over a bit...like Ziggler and Cesaro.

Reid was Charlotte's full brother, not half, and Meltzer said that she gets emotional every time she talks about him.

I also can't imagine the guilt a family feels when they lose a child to drugs. I'm sure there was a lot of "toughen ups!" that they now regret.

 

[HereWeGo2]

Also, Charlotte's mom tweeted this:




So I'm sure Charlotte knew the pain that she felt, and can't imagine Charlotte strongly wanting to do that.

I could see Charlotte strongly wanting to mention the part about fighting for her brother, and them trying to conflate that now.

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Quit crying about it.. WWE has done this for year's, they don't care and they shouldn't. It's part of a scripted show... What a bunch of whiny little pussies you guys are.

Are you fukking serious? Some of y'all try to act way too cool/hard over the internet. Grow up dude

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

WWE should be ashamed this is something you can't come back from. You just can't tell a man "sorry"

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

But let that be a final rebuttal to the Paul Levesque loves Ric Flair debate. It was always a fake friendship/mentoring to do what Levesque has always done: social climb and swagger jack. Charlotte commands a ton of blame for her role in this, but even if Levesque wasn't directly involved, a friend would call another when it's apparent he/she is very upset by actions they may have been a part of.

Couple that with Flair only being Levesque's fluffer in Evolution, and you find that Levesque is an insanely fake person.

You beat @R=G to it

You beat @R=G to it

Yeah, we kinds have a similar revulsion to the Blondes of the Kliq.
