Does this apply to actors as a whole? Should non-serious photos of actors on-set not be released mid-season when one is the good guy and the other is the bad guy?
It isn't 1985 any more. Who gives a ****?

Kayfabe doesn't really matter anymore. Plenty of people are willing to knowingly suspend their disbelief for the sake of being entertained.
Also, Don Tony and Kevin castle show is easily the worst of the 5-6 wrestling podcasts I've listened to.

He does have a point though.The fact that they've needed to effectively portray the US title as superior to the WWE title because of the fact that Cena is still the top guy is extremely dumb.

Okay, that makes more sense. However house shows really should end with the kids going home happy. So the best bet would be changing the booking or whatever. Have Cena and Seth on different shows or something (which they did earlier this year). Just the nature of the beast though isn't it?

Ahahaha wait what Rusev got squashed in 2 minutes by ****ing Ryback on tv? Same weekend as when he and Lana got engaged? Seems I was wrong when I said this
I'm so stupid for underestimating Vince's stupidity

On a tangent, listened to the Brock Lesnar ep of Austin's podcast and he talks about how he was a bully in school, doesn't really like people in general, lives in a mansion with 8 feet wide fences surrounding the house, didn't care at all about what the fans thought about him and di it for the money, implied that he wasn't particularly passionate about pro wrestling and the undertaker's streak didn't really feel that significant to him, couldn't really remember the number/year of the Manias he was in and spends most of his time hunting. He also had a scary anxiety about him like he wasn't used at all to talking for so long, almost felt like Steve had to be really careful not to step on his toes.
Brock Lesnar being a thoroughly hateble asshole really, really adds to him being a monster as a wrestling character, He's so convincing because he's actually portraying an amped up version of Brock Lesnar the real person. He's a crazy, out of the world character you'd find in a novel and not in real life and reminds me off the larger than life, unreal stars with colossal egos that got me into wrestling in the first place.
Obviously I don't propose you go out of your way to hire assholes but Brock being an generally unpleasant person who thinks irl that he's far too good for this **** and would be in UFC if his health didn't stop him comes through really well in Brock Lesnar the character. I'm not buying that Sheamus is this intimidating scary guy when the WWE yt channel depicts him to be a very chill, personable guy who loves kids.
Obviously I don't expect anyone to agree but Brock works big time for me in way he wouldn't if it turned out he was actually a social butterfly and a top humanitarian irl. It's much harder to fake not giving a **** as opposed to actually not giving a ****.

Such a good point when he says Steph and Trips' twitter account talk about them playing bad guys on TV.

Just watching KOTR '01. ****ing good. Kurt Angle wrestling three times despite getting a concussion in the 1st match against Christian, and then put on an absolute war with Shane McMahon. For a dude that was only an occasional wrestler, man Shane could go. So many amazing spots in this match. The thud from Shane's head hitting the floor after taking the first suplex against the glass is insane. Amazing that they continued the spot too when they knew it was the wrong glass, Shane was concussed and Kurt's tail-bone was ****ed to the point he could barely walk. Then Shane told Kurt to suplex him back through the other way, which obviously wasn't going to happen. Great finish too, the Angle slam off the top-rope, looked great. Amazing heart from both guys, love this match so much.

Didn't Shane also pull out a shooting star in that match? Insane... they threw in everything that night.

He did indeed. Shane was a hell of a performer.
