Have no idea why WWE is cooperating with these irrelevant Chinese and indy promotions! Can’t wait till Mr. McMahon comes back and cleans house.
Have no idea why the fascist and racist is whining about irrelevant promotions, who are still relevant enough to get a top worker like AJ Styles for him to run his mouth about it instead of ignoring things he doesn’t care about like grown ups do! Can’t wait till the sexual predator and his bestie, the criminal Trump, go to jail.
Have no idea why someone who is obviously trolling keeps getting responses, encouraging him to keep trolling. Do what the rest of us do – roll your eyes, wonder what the “moderation” mentioned after posting a comment actually entails, and move on with your day.
