Wow, can’t believe it’s almost a decade of Donald Trump being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. One of the most poplular superstars ever to grace a WWE ring.

**Jester** · 06-18-2022, 10:11 PM

So...the whole world is just a means to post about Trump to stick it to the libs, eh 1987?

He's just trolling at this point.

I’m just a fan of his wrestling career. remember that Wrestlemania where Trump “single-handedly” defeated Umaga?

https://www.kayfabenews.com/trump-in...estlemania-23/

Umaga, uMAGA, MAGA, Umaga sounds similar to MAGA

*Turo602* · 06-19-2022, 02:41 PM

Greatest moment in his "wrestling career."

*Coola Yagami* · 06-19-2022, 09:40 PM

Ok my dude, it's starting to get kinda old.

The heel heat is now just turning into go away heat.

WWE allowed AJ Styles to appear on Slammiversary via a recording to congratulate the promotion on 20 years.

Someone needs to slap Khan in the back of the head and tell him to stop booking Marina Shafir for Dynamite. She is terrible in the ring and she gets no reaction from the crowd when she comes out.

She is facing Toni Storm this week. Not to mention she has lost all her dynamite matches

*Prowler* · 06-21-2022, 09:14 PM

Khan is also responsible for booking? I thought he was just the money guy like Ted Turner was for WCW. I thought he had hired bookers for that purpose?

*Leo656* · 06-21-2022, 09:23 PM

Supposedly he's pretty hands-on and it's why so much Indyriffic Mark Bullsh*t ends up on their TV shows. He just books stuff that "looks cool" regardless of whether it makes sense or appeals to anyone outside of him and the IWC.

Which is why they spent million on bringing in CM Punk and Bryan and the ratings actually sank like a f*cking rock. He cries about Bischoff saying "mean things", but Bischoff is right, he's running the company like a f*cking E-Fed and it's actually doing damage to their bottom line.

*Prowler* · 06-21-2022, 09:34 PM

Khan probably doesn't know much about wrestling. And doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut either.

He should follow the Ted Turner example and hire some people who can run the product properly.

And from what some British people told me, the London football club, Fulham FC, wich is owned by the Khan family, is poorly ran as well. With Tony Khan being the direvtor of football, which means he's responsible for signings of players and managers despite not knowing much about the sport. Usually owners and chairmen leave that to someone else. Clearly Khan thinks he knows everything about every business he gets himself into. Fulham was relegated and is not exactly a top club in England, let me tell you.

I haven't watched AEW in a long time. I kinda lost track of the billion factions and wrestlers they signed.

*Leo656* · 06-21-2022, 11:17 PM

Khan kinda seems like he actually does know SOME things about wrestling, but... more as a fan. He seems like a big fan with genuine enthusiasm, but... I've worked for a few "money marks", it generally doesn't work.

For one thing, and Khan is definitely guilty of this, money marks are always trying to be "one of the boys", buddying up with them, partying with them, treating them all like their pals. This doesn't work out well in the long run, because eventually you have to fire someone, or take away their push or have them do a job or drop a Title, and then things get awkward. You can't be someone's "friend" AND their Boss, especially not in that f*cking business. But he's trying really hard to do that, and as we can see it isn't going great.

He's also shown that he really can't handle any criticism whatsoever, and that just reflects poorly on everything. Saying things like "If Eric Bischoff knew half of what I know about the wrestling business, WCW would still be in business" makes him look like an idiot, especially when he's doing ALL the same things Bischoff ever got ripped apart for doing, but WORSE. Except when Bischoff was signing ex-WWF guys at high prices, their ratings kept going UP, not down, and the company turned a profit for the first time in their existence. Whereas Khan spends a fortune on Vince's cast-offs, pushes them for two weeks and forgets about them as soon as he buys another shiny new "toy". All the while, even after All That, they can't crack a million viewers and keep it there. People can cry about "streaming has changed the business" all they like, the fact is WWE still gets several million viewers per week despite an abysmal, horrible product. AEW has had three years to get eyes on their product and they've tried every magic bullet; people know they exist, they just completely don't give a sh*t.

I like AEW, despite my "tough love" criticism, but when Khan goes on a rant like he did at the press conference after the last PPV, he makes himself and the company look bush-league as hell. Even Punk was making faces like "What the f*ck is this lunatic talking about?" when Khan was screaming about "WE WON THE FRIDAY NIGHT WAR! JERRY MCDEVITT TESTIFIED TO IT IN F*CKING COURT!" Your biggest star is sitting there right next to you making faces like "Is this clown f*cking serious?", but no, yeah, you're fine, everything's fine. You totally know what you're doing and you're very, very professional.

I'd love for WWE to go under and for ANYTHING to replace it. But Khan really is "Jacksonville Dixie Carter". He has ambition, and he's probably a nice guy, but he's clearly in over his head. He also probably has a cocaine problem, but that's just my own observation.

*ZariusTwo* · 06-23-2022, 01:42 AM

Bryan's out again

*Coola Yagami* · 06-27-2022, 08:32 AM

Death before Dishonor announced for next month.

Also let's hope people don't cancel Tony. Last night he was asked if AEW would pay for their employees abortions and he said he's been too busy with Forbidden Door to really think much about that and such a case hasn't come up yet with their employees. You know how the woke Twitter mob are, they might raise a ruckus cause he didn't just blurt out "WHY OF COURSE WE WILL".

Tony still refused to comment on MJF.

*ZariusTwo* · 06-27-2022, 10:30 PM

Danielson, Jericho and Paul Wight appeared via video message on RAW to congratulate John Cena on 20 years in WWE.

*Autbot_Benz* · 06-29-2022, 11:54 PM

I am here for Heel Luchasauras. Jurassic Express got real stale very quickly.

Danhausen's hot wife was in the baddies section tonight.

Blood and Guts was awesome sans the Santana leg injury
