Like I said, it's very much in line with that...cult. The worst traits are all mixed in that soup. Jericho didn't hide that he's a Trump supportter. And we all know his shady reputation with women.

You honestly have no idea what happened in that room, only what you have thought up in your mind as to what happened....so it's not in line with anything but your imagination
 
Kevin Dunn leaving WWE is bad news. I don't see how it can be looked at as a positive.

Like anyone, he's not perfect. But what was it that set WWE apart from all other pro wrestling promotion?

Production values.

His body of work since he joined WWF full-time in 1984 is tremendous. From a live entertainment standpoint, I'd argue WWE's production values are the best in the world. Certainly the best in the world if you encompass the past 35-40 years. Maybe it could be argued the WWE was too "glossy" the past decade and a bit more of a real and gritty presentation would be better, but that's nitpicking really.

I was really hoping TKO would be able to leverage Dunn's expertise and add some "gloss" to the dull and drab production of UFC which is really holding back that promotion from going to the next level. Instead Dunn is out and what is even more worrisome is rumors are part of the reason he is leaving is TKO wants to reduce production costs and Dunn disagrees with that approach, which he should.

End of an era at WWF/WWE.

Michael Cole will no longer be calling Smackdown and some believe it’s because he will be taking on increased responsibilities in production.

Word is she asked for all of the money to come back to WWE and they surprisingly balked.

I could see it. WWE has some stuff cooking with their women's division right now where you don't need her persay. Tony Khan these days seems like he has more money than brains these days so he probably had no issue throwing a bank vault at her. Maybe this will also get that burning trash heap they call a Women's division up and running again over there too.

I will say this about Mone though; I think her negotiating power is several magnitudes stronger if she didn't break her ankle in May. When she initially started this whole tour of Japan she was red hot. Then she got hurt, attention fizzled out and frankly she's been kinda irrelevant since (even with injuries in consideration, usually names stay in the headlines)

Part of the reason was that she wanted a program with Giulia and New Japan evidently didn't, and I guess there was a holding pattern because she had another match on her deal. Don't know why you wouldn't want to do that match, it would make way more sense than Giulia vs. Trish Adora. I didn't even know who that is.

For what her goals were, it didn't make sense for her to go back to WWE right now unless they bought them from her.

I think in the end AEW does make more sense. She would be a luxury for WWE while in AEW she would be the biggest womens star in the company.
