>>14015625Tony has been hiring "shields" forever. Earliest one I remember was Madison Rayne who was supposed to lead the women's locker room. First order of business, she put herself in the Women's Title Match.
Tony has hired men as well, trying to create a bubble around him from wrestlers. He just can't help himself as a booker. He expects that when he puts Miro in a match after shelving him for 6 months, that Miro owes Tony a hug and a thank you.
When he doesn't get that, he puts you on another time out! And now he's straight up firing non-huggers. It's ridiculous.
