Breeze makes me worry about the future of UUDD.

With this string of releases NXT tag division and the Cruiserweights got hit the hardest. This is gonna messed up since there's apparently going to be a greater focus on the cruiserweights on NXT in the future.

The releases have brought up a number of comical stories.
- - Women's wrestler Peyton Royce detailed how she likely didn't help herself when meeting Vince McMahon.
She claims she walked into the meeting with one idea. Vince brushed it off and asked what she likes or has as hobbies. Jim Cornette said it was Vince trying to find something to possibly use with her. That he has watched Vince spitball ideas with talent before on things they do at times away from the ring.
Royce claims she had nothing. That all she could say was.."I just like to go home and sit on couch n watch TV. I'm a boring person."
She wasn't shocked she was released given how badly her talk with Vince went.
Then we had this happen...
- The WWE hired a female writer for RAW. This writer decided to comically go on a podcast and detail how she had never watched pro wrestling before and didn't know anything about WWE.
She too was released.

Its pretty funny release wise. But Royce did herself no favors and as Cornette claims you have to have "several" ideas ready. He pointed out how Vince pitched Mick Foley a terrible name before Mick looked at him and said .."How about Mankind.." which made Vince like it better."The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

The whole thing with Kenice Mobley is unfortunate. Originally Posted by SUPERECWFAN1

And honestly I don't think the Kenice situation is a one-off, it's clear that some of the people working in the writers room aren't really familiar with pro-wrestling.
It also doesn't help that WWE is hiring mostly "comedy" writers. There seems to be feeling that if a superstar can't be "funny" then they aren't good on the mic. I've pointed it out many times that wrestlers aren't comedians and it's why we get absolutely stupid angles such as Bobby Lashley showing off his butt, Rollins saying crap like "sparkle crotch" and Reigns saying "suffering sucotash" (although I think that came from Vince himself).
EDIT: But now I'm seeing people criticizing Mobley because she's black. This is the part of the story that completely turns me off.Last edited by Username taken; 06-26-2021 at 07:38 AM.

That moving forward the company will still hire outside writers as we see but changes will likely happen.
- The writers won't be allowed to do outside interviews as we saw.
- They will be told to watch the product after being hired and know what they are working on."The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

You can't be a writer on the show, do an interview and not know the name of the Champion.
Peyton is pretty interesting on her instagram. Nothing wrong with your interest being working out, having a healthy lifestyle, being active etc.

I feel like anyone going after her is misguided at best, and a bigoted jackass at worst. Originally Posted by Username taken

It’s Vince’s company speaking out of both sides of their mouth again, and likely because they just don’t want the optics of what’s likely a mundane truth - that Vince is a micromanager who wants to control everything without any outside influence even from the fanbase, and the whole concept of finding disconnected writers to do scripts instead of letting talent cut their own promos is part and parcel of that.Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
