7 Ups & 2 Downs For Last Night's NXT (May 20)

1. This Is Still A Problem

One more time for those at the back.

If Drake Maverick being fired by WWE is a work, then they're trying to elicit interest in pro-wrestling tournament by leaning into the genuine, life-altering despair that's being felt by the 26 million Americans who have lost their jobs in the last 5 weeks.

If it's not a work, then they're still trying to elicit interest in pro-wrestling tournament by leaning into the genuine, life-altering despair that's being felt by the 26 million Americans who have lost their jobs in the last 5 weeks, while simultaneously adding someone else to that grim statistic.

This is not escapism or entertainment. It's gross.
