[Afterlife]

It’s effectively Virgil/Ted all over again, Michaels will help JBL win matches and get his bags etc, eventually he’ll be forced to make a choice between taking out HHH or someone and turn on JBL It’s simple storytelling in a believable environment, HBK’s promo made it sound plausible that he would be broke, the whole thing is fine from where I’m sitting

But see, that's why it's so smartarded. It is stupid as hell to assume Shawn is outta cash. Hecan shell out all the "I gave my cash to my friends, I bought McCain numbers of houses and cars, I suddenly lost all my OTHER money in this horrible economy and I'm somehow not getting any monetary influx from my contract," he wants. He can stand there and do a RAW routine during the PPV, explaining in logical sounding fashion just how hefell on hard times. It might sound very possible.

And then you sit back and say, "Wait -- that's fucking stupid."

When you say something retarded in a very smart way to try to be convincing...that's being smartarded.
