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, and intelligent TV piece on wrestling is very fukking rare :obama:

I haven't watched the show yet, but I'm guessing the logic for picking Roman for that joke as opposed to someone like Rollins is that Roman was an easy target before the leukemia thing :manny:

But for people to criticize this joke over everything negative Cokeboy has done throughout his professional career is laughable.

Oh, it's reaching of the highest order, no doubt about it :francis:

re:Roman. That's my point though, he stopped being an easy target after the leukemia thing and they had to know that, so it's weird they still went with it :patrice: specially because if you make it Rollins, that bad joke doesn't get any traction.

"But while the "character" Vince is an arsehole, it's important to note that the real Vince is also an arsehole...."

:lolbron:

They even got Punk's grievances on some 'From Hell's heart, I stab at thee:umadphil:' shyt :dead:

Its funny as hell watching Vince in the mainstream media - because he looks like a legit insane person in any medium which he isn't in complete control of.

Nothing is gonna change unless the locker room band together though. :ld:

The Roman joke is unfortunate because he hit them with the Ether on everything else and this might get a little traction with mainstream people.

I already see the usual WWE fukk shills on twitter like Jimmy Korderas caping for the E and saying his contract was different and that not everyone has the same contract.:stopitslime:

Yeah no shyt dikkhead, you not a wrestler and Im sure there's top talent that have more benefits than the rest, thats the point of contention!:pacspit:


Hate these WWE shills man, even people I normally respect do too much :cape: for the company

They could have pivoted and mentioned how he was in a team with Seth who looks like a pedo and dean who looks like a pedo that sells drugs

It doesn't matter, the joke was bad but everything else in the piece was 100% TRUTH. But the WWE Stan's come here to try and discredit everything else about that piece

Already seeing people on Twitter and Reddit get in defensive mode despite all the good points he's making.
They're more mad at the Roman joke than.....anything else, basically.

For as whiny as WWE fans are, the company can do nothing wrong in their eyes when it comes to things that matter.
