Why them no ban MrBeast?

I can't even recall the actual tune of the show, and I blame Kiss Daniel for that.

samistry:
You still haven't answered my question on why a royal rumble winner needs a story to fight the champion? You win the rumble, you get to challenge for any title.
Contending with and outlasting 30men for a chance to challenge for the title is a story in itself. You don't need to have a further personal story with the champion you're challenging. This is pretty basic that even my 9year old niece understands, yet grown up adult man has a hard time figuring it out.

For the plucky everyman underdogs like Sami Zayn, Daniel Bryan, mick foley, Tetsuya Naito there was a Rock, Stone-cold, Cody, Cena, Okada, Reigns as face of the company.
The plucky underdog works better as a chaser of the title than a dominant title defender.

It's why it took Sami so long to become NXT champion.
It's same reason we can't compare Naito to Okada dominance as champions.

I specifically said sami doesn't 'need to have the main title or HOLD IT FOR LONG AFTER HAVING IT'.

You ignored the later part of my sentence, to blabber away whatever preconceived notions you held. My original quote is still there.

Rock ended Punks long title reign and proceeded to have a twice in a lifetime rematch with Cena for the WWE Championship.
Guess what? That match would still have sold tickets just for the personalities involved regardless if it was for the title or not.
As bad as the situation was for CM Punk, he still had a wrestlemania match with undertaker. This was the last good match that Taker had at Wrestlemania.

Rock came back and tried to hijack a wrestlemania that didn't need him vying for the title.
History was about to repeat itself until fans rallied and made their voices heard about Cody.
The resultant effect for all of this is it gave Cody more momentum than ever before.
We Want Cody became a hash tag which trended across twitter. Many have questioned if the Rocks hijacking attempt was the initial plan or a ploy to make Cody more popular.

As regards drawing power, many folks were critcising Wwe in 2018 for hosting saudi shows yet years later, boxing events and la liga super cup are being played in saudi to garner profits.
Boxing events and soccer sef dey find drawing power.

You have to strike a balancing art as a company drawing viewers to make profit as well as giving fans what they want.
If it was all about drawing power we would still have Rock Vs Roman Reigns for the championship and Cody challenging Seth.
Yes, Vince historically has made some decisions that i do not agree with. He has also caved into fan demands like kofimania, Seth beating brock at wrestlemania and summerslam for the title, Drew Mcintyre going over brock at wrestlemania, giving the women wrestlemania main event in 2019.

Roman Reigns was booed as a face and loved as a heel. Why didn't Vince continue to stubbornly leave him as a face?

I praise the company when due and criticise em when they fumble, unlike you who is obssesed with what he doesn't like yet won't quit.

I promise I'll answer your questions, but what I want is a simplified reply to mine. It could take just 2 sentences even. What do WWE fans want? Draws, stories or ring ability? Phrase it however you want to but give me a simple response so I can hold you and your likes accountable when necessary.

samistry:
Since when does a royal rumble winner needs to have a story before challenging for the title?

Sami is a sympathetic comedic indy babyface ala mick foley, they don't need to have the main title or hold it for long after having it. Funny enough, if they went with sami na still same you go still call em out for having a comedic goof as champion.

They already have Cody as classic companyman babyface in mould of hulkhogan, john cena, okada
The face of the company, the champ Who draws in casuals and mainstreamers.

You said fans booed John Cena but you left out that cena was the biggest star in the ruthless agression after rock, Austin and even brock lesnar left.
He got so popular as heel that he turned face.
Fans started to boo him after the company tweaked his character from an edgy rapper to family friendly superman, who always defies the odds after the company went PG.
It's the same reason why Cody was booed in AEW, a smarky company as they couldn't relate to a character like that.

Rock is a bigger draw than cody but do you advocate we go from a part time champion to an even older part time champion?
What does winning the championship and breaking Roman's title reign do for the Rock? The man is already a legend.

The same Vince that you argue doesn't cave into fans demands gave us Wrestlemania 30 with Daniel Bryan going over Triple H, Batista and Randy Orton.

so you guys are contradicting yourselves now? Wrestling needs story, except it's for a Royal Rumble winner, right?

I agree, a comedy goof shouldn't be a champion, but you guys have always disagreed regardless of how much I tried drumming it in (it's funny how you agree now, we're getting somewhere I guess); but what I'm saying is pick a side - do you want storylines or not, do you want big draws or not?

So you're saying you want big draws, but not part-timers; did you maintain that same energy when Rock took Punk's spot twice at Mania, did you (hope you did)? Or when Austin took the main event of Mania from well deserving full timers. Or when Goldberg did it, and Taker, and the list goes on.

You're talking about what breaking Roman's title reign will do for the Rock? Again, who cares about logic in WWE? Isn't drawing power all that matters. They literally had Cody contradict himself on who he wanted to fight at Mania in a space of few days. Logic really doesn't mean that much in that company. Leave that thing.

Okay yes, lightning struck and Vince bulged. And what did he do the following year? Abeg abeg abeg.

Kaycee7:
What opportunity did Cody take from Sami? Cody had already won the Rumble before Sami turned face at the very same PPV. And there was literally only one belt for a Men's Rumble winner to challenge for at the time.

Meanwhile, Cody and the WWE build up to another Mania dance with Roman. Cody wins the Rumble a second time in a row and points towards Roman in his victory moment.
Seth proposes his World title the next night and the crowd boos massively.
Only for all that momentum to come crashing on Friday when The Rock comes in to take Cody's place.

Those 2 scenarios are not remotely similar at all

I'm saying if we're to do it based on storylines and timing (as you said) Sami should have been the one to face Roman at Mania. Cody had zero story with Roman and yet he was chosen to fight him at Mania. It's the same scenario now, Cody now has a story (of sort) with Roman, but Rock - like Cody to Sami last year - is a bigger draw. That's what I'm saying.

I'm not saying about the fans booing or not? But when has that ever stopped WWE? Despite how many fans booed Cena, they still pushed him. Despite how many fans despised Roman, they still gave Mania Main event after Mania Main event, the list is endless. It's because the WWE knows that if the fans were truly serious about not wanting The Rock, they'd boycott the product rather than just make noise.

I'm saying WWE and it's fans need to pick a side. They're lucky it's HHH running things now, cause if it was Vince, their demands would have been overlooked and it'll be their fault because they encouraged part-timers and lazy booking over the years. I'm spitting facts.

Kaycee7:
Timing. The timing was wrong.

what timing. Wasn't Cody's timing also bad when he took Sami's opportunity from him? I'm a bit confused. Isn't the biggest draw what WWE fans pride themselves in having?

Kaycee7:
That rough play wey una try last week, no ever try that nonsense again.

We're back on the trail, boys

I thought y'all wanted Rock vs Roman for years. Why the sudden change of taste bud?

Onuh211:
Na lie, no be body is protesting sh*t, On Jagaban mandate we stand. The TINUBULATION and SHETTIMATISM go reach everybody.

Obi supporters and Pitobi must learn a lesson 😹😹

Aaahh I forgot e no go move Pitobi, Apc said he is worth 1 trillion dollars 😹😹

dey play. The people wey protest for Minna na lie too abi?

Kaycee7:
Give the cameraman who lined up this shot a massive bonus

more like they all posed for it.

This one pass wahala. What does one need to do not to get noticed by that bot. I think it's poorly done. I can't even paste a bulky message without being banned even if it's my composition. Why does it keep affecting me and others and what do I need to do to handle it? Any ideas anyone?

The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling.

Before there was Jay White, there was CM Punk. A man who didn't look the part, started from little Indy feds wrestling in bingo halls to becoming a stepping stone for big names who would emanate from promotions like Ring of Honour, to exploding in popularity in the biggest Sports Entertainment company in the world. A man who never took short cuts, had road blocks placed on his path, was looked down on, vilified and hated; all to later end up earning the respect of his peers, past and future stars of the business. Let's talk about the catalyst of professional wrestling.
CM Punk came into a hostile business, not favorable to his kind and made to look impossible to succeed in for someone with a background like him. But from the Indies, to Ring of Honour, to OVW, to ECW and then to the main roster of the WWE, CM Punk - while following Rowdy Piper - carved his path to success to be a multiple time World champion. His reign as the WWE champion is where the critical season in his career came. Punk was to go one on one with the company's favorite John Cena for the WWE championship at Punk's hometown in Chicago Illinois. Punk had never won the gold and seeing the direction of the championship match going unfavorable to him, he decided to have an "I don't care anymore" moment - it didn't matter to him because according to him he had decided to leave the company after the match. What he did would change the course of wrestling forever. It wasn't a 5 star match, it was a '5 star' promo. It was mic work. It was a shoot promo. Punk bared all his frustrations to the fans in front of a live camera. He talked down on the company for the descrepancies he had faced and gone through as a result of them. He talked down on the fans, multiple stars, and the boss. He dared mention old names of the company that no one else could have the guts to utter; from Paul Heyman to Brock Lesnar, the external wrestling companies weren't spared either. To top it up, he did it cross-legged on the entrance ramp, wearing a 'Stone Cold' T-shirt. And that point, Punk was the man, while Cena was in the ring recovering from a spear move to a table.
...

...

After those few minutes Punk would become the most popular man in the whole of wrestling. He would go viral like never before and at the end seal his new found status by beating John Cena for the WWE title at Money In The Bank. After which he would walk out of the company (in Kayfabe). He would lose the title to win it again and have a legendary 424 days title run before losing it to The Rock. But in that time, Punk would beat big names in the company, break merch sales records, have a steady and consistent 'match of the night' recognition, reunite with Paul Heyman and introduce the whole world to The Shield. Punk would end up walking out of the company (in reality) later on due to backstage corperate issues. He's back anyway; but before that time, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns had become World champions, Ring Of Honour had created new stars, New Japan had Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho which catapulted their popularity to new heights among American fans, AEW was made and WWE was bigger than ever - and at the center of all these is one man, CM Punk. How?

CoolUsername:
This seems interesting and I would like to see where it's going. However, I'm fairly certain that the pipebomb was a work. Yes, there was some bad blood but I don't believe Vince McMahon would've let a wrestler go off script so long on his live broadcast.

anti spam bot wahala.

You did not quite understand it..


You tried though...


If you read the whole if that chapter, you are told that it is only God that exists...There is no one else like him. He is the source of everything..both good and evil, light and darkness. That's why it is called a UNIVerse

There is no such being as devil or Satan...in the christian sense.

All power belongs to God.
Power to kill
Power to save
Power to destroy
Power to create...

Any power you can think of....they all belong to God....

So it is in that context...

everything God created is good, beings turned them into something else. A sword can be used to protect or kill. You don't blame the maker of it based on how it is utilized, blame the handler.

sonmvayina:
Isaiah 45:7

so it's really simple. Psalm 92:15 says "To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him."(KJV). Simply put, God has no business with unrighteousness as he's a God that is known to love righteousness and hate iniquity. The whole Bible is about this above statement. So, "evil", what did that scripture mean, since evil is relative to unrighteousness?
First thing you need to understand is 'context'. Especially while studying the old testanment, you'll need a whole lot of it as many things there can and must not be taken literally to be applied as Christians today.
The context therefore; if you read that passage well, God says He makes peace and creates evil. God in the passage and from the beginning of the chapter is self-eulogizing and letting the listener(s) know his capacity, capability.and possibilities. "Evil" in the context is a necessary evil for the evil. In mathematics, negative eliminates negative to create a positive. God is saying I create peace for good people and I also create evil for the evil people. Like it is shown in the scriptures, how he fought against evil people like Pharoah, Jezebel, Ahab, Herod and co.
God creates evil only against those who are evil.
If you attack people with evil plans against you or your loved ones, then you're just like God, you're creating evil against the evil.
Simple?

Kobojunkie:
Try to be specific abeg so we can clearly understand whether this is an attempt by your person to reject what Jesus Christ said here.
Above, Jesus Christ said "It is the same with the Son of Man", metaphorically speaking, He is a bronze Snake on a pole to be lifted for the salvation of the people of Israel.

"It is the same with the Son of Man" implies that it is for the same purpose that He too will be lifted. It is for the same people that He will be lifted... So, tell me, what part of what is stated, do not not agree with in this?

this convo goes nowhere until you define a metaphor. Define it and I'll respond to you.

TradingGod:
stop replying that lady

Our LORD JESUS has already told us to dust our feet to the house (people) that does not want to accept the truth we bring

So it is better to avoid feeding her your attention

didn't even know she was a lady. I don't know, I guess I feel obligated to guide people that are lost, especially spiritually. And the fact that simple English is her challenge is frightening.

Kobojunkie:
Again, It's obvious that Jesus Christ was comparing Himself to the Bronze snake that was raised in the desert by God for the Israelites. He said "in the same way" that the snake had to be raised to save those of Israel who were condemned by God, so also, He too would be raised on a stick to save those condemned by God of Israel. So, why are you twisting yourself into bundles as if that is not what Jesus Christ said in the context of that conversation He had with Nicodemus?

do you know what a metaphor is? Do you even know what a figure of speech is? If you do know what these mean, kindly define them for me.

sonmvayina:
It says

7 I form the light and creates darkness, I makes peace and creates evil; I am the Lord, Who makes all these.

where did you read, cos it's not Isaiah 7:45 (which doesn't exist in scripture). Atleast get the passage right.

listen, if I say I like how you wear your shoes, and I'm going to wear mine like that. When I go home to try it out, I'm not going to wear your shoes; I'll wear mine. Look at it as someone who reads the Bible explaining it to someone who doesn't as much. I'm just trying to make you see reason. If you aren't cool with it, I can't help beyond this.

Kobojunkie:
Did you read the passage at all but what you cobbled up there makes no sense when put up against the details contained in the passage?

oga, ask someone else I'm sure they'd be shocked you're even asking a question as this. "Just as Moses...Jesus", it's making a comparison and not being literal. It's simple English. If you're not satisfied, then ✌🏿.

sonmvayina:
Ok..but devil is just God on a good day

And God is devil on a bad day .....

Do you understand this?

If not read Isaiah 7:45.

it made no sense.
That verse isn't in my Bible.

God is good; the devil (creator of malaria) just isn't.
