PEOPLE AND STRANGERS

WASHINGTON (AP) — They’ve endured a financial crisis. Two deep recessions. Mounds of student debt. Stagnant pay. Costly health care. Dim job prospects.
They’ve seen the uber-rich grow richer while a pandemic threw tens of millions of people out of work and left many more isolated and vulnerable at home.
Now, they feel, it’s payback time.
Nearly a decade after the Occupy protest movement left Wall Street more or less unscathed, the citadel of financial might faces a new assault.
Day traders, mobilized on a Reddit chatroom, have poured about all the money they can find into the stocks of a struggling video game retailer called GameStop and a few other beaten-down companies. Their buying has swollen those companies’ share prices beyond anyone’s imagination — and, not coincidentally, inflicted huge losses on the hedge funds of the super-rich, who had placed bets that the stocks would drop.
Their strategy, of course, is freighted with risk. The prices of the stocks they’ve bought are now multiples above any level justified by revenue, earnings or future prospects. The danger is that at any time, the stocks could collapse.
Maybe so. But as one Reddit user wrote Friday, asserting that hedge fund financiers would drink Champagne as they looked down upon Occupy Wall Street protesters in 2011:
“I’d rather lose it all than give them what they need to destroy me ... I’ll burn it all down just to spite them.”
Their rage and hell-bent drive to pick on powerful Wall Street financiers have sent shivers through ordinary investors and heightened fears about the fragility of the markets in general after a prolonged period of stock gains fueled by ultra-low interest rates. Those fears just caused the S&P 500 index to suffer its worst week of losses since October.
GameStop shares? They rocketed nearly 70% on Friday. Over the past three weeks, they’ve delivered a stupefying 1,600% gain.
“They figured out how to play the way Wall Street has been playing for a long time,” said Robert Thompson, who has long tracked cultural trends as director of Syracuse University’s Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture. “I’m amazed it didn’t happen earlier.’’
Feeding the frenzy have been young traders like 27-year-old Zach Weir, who this week bought five shares of GameStop.
“I’m a college student, so that’s basically a month’s rent for me,” said Weir, who is pursuing a master’s degree in marketing.
He did it, he said, because he believes in the cause: Protecting a cherished game store, where he would hang out as a teenager on Friday nights, from financial tycoons who want the company to fail.
And if he loses his investment?
“If my account goes to zero, it goes to zero,” Weir said. “At this point, it’s not about the money. I think this is bigger than the money now”
Frustration and rage over widening financial inequities in the American economy have been mounting for years. The richest 1% of Americans collected about 19% of pre-tax income in 2019, up from less than 11% four decades earlier, according to the World Inequality Database, run by Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, economists at the University of California, Berkeley, along with other researchers.
New York University economist Edward Wolff has found that the richest 10% of Americans own roughly 85% of stock wealth, a share that has grown steadily over time.
The financial crisis that ignited the Great Recession of 2007-2009 intensified resentment toward the bankers who had financed the dodgy loans behind the catastrophe and had ignored the obvious risks, only to receive bailouts from taxpayers and largely escape accountability. Rising outrage fueled the Occupy movement, in which protesters took over New York’s Zuccotti Park and other public spaces and demanded far-reaching financial reforms that mainly didn’t happen.
The coronavirus inflicted further pain, flattening the economy and causing more than 20 million Americans to lose jobs. This week, a report from the anti-poverty group Oxfam found that the world’s 10 richest men have swollen their collective wealth by $500 billion since the pandemic erupted in March. In the meantime, nearly 10 million people who lost jobs to the pandemic remain unemployed.
The stock market, the chosen target of the Reddit day traders, has long stood as America’s premier symbol of entrenched wealth. But technology, including forums like Reddit, has made it ever easier, faster and simpler for the aggrieved to mobilize, swap information and collectively plot strategy. And e-trading apps, notably Robinhood, allow amateur traders to buy commission-free stocks with one click.
They spotted a vulnerability in the market: The so-called short squeeze.
When hedge funds and other investors want to bet that a stock price will fall, they arrange a short sale: They borrow shares of, say, GameStop. Then they sell those borrowed shares, planning to buy back the stock later at a lower price and pocket the gain.
But shorting can backfire disastrously if the stock surges instead of falling. Then the short sellers can be forced to bail out of their bets by buying the target stock. Their buying, in turn, can send the stock price ever higher and makes things even worse for the short sellers in an intensifying feedback loop.
GameStop, its future imperiled by e-commerce and a pandemic that has kept customers away, is among the most heavily shorted stocks. Some of the Reddit rebels are gamers who want to protect the retailer from the predations of Wall Street. Or just deliver a righteous blow to hedge funds and financiers who have lived large as others have suffered hardships.
Not all the day traders are inflamed by anger. They just see an opportunity to make money and pay bills.
“A lot of people are having trouble paying rent,” said Alexis Goldstein, a veteran of the Occupy movement. “A lot of people are at risk of eviction. A lot of people are very desperate, quite frankly, for new ways to make money.”
Yet Goldstein worries that the revolt will ultimately fail.
For one thing, some of the Wall Street firms that are targets of the Redditers actually profit from the very volatility that the Redditers’ assault has whipped up.
And the most sophisticated professional traders are no doubt calculating how to capitalize on the chaos. Normally, they have to work hard and invest heavily to determine what their competitors are doing and to profit from that information. By contrast, the Reddit day traders are announcing their intentions, brazenly and publicly.
“I suspect it’s not Robinhood investors and Redditers who are making money,” Goldstein said.
She would like to see a different slate of reforms — reforms to rein in Wall Street’s excesses while helping those who’ve been left behind.
“Hopefully, we can ask fundamental questions about whether we want our markets to be speculation-driven or do we want them to create innovation and jobs,” she said. “Stop hustling so hard for a buck and instead rebuild the social safety net.”
Tom Osran, a 59-year-old Chicago lawyer, has been reading the WallStreetBets forum on Reddit for years. But it was only last week that he decided to act for the first time, buying into GameStop. His investment, he said, is up 1,000% from last week, though he declined to reveal the dollar amount.
Osran said he figures that its astronomical stock rise can save GameStop from hedge funds that are betting that a company with 40,000 employees will fail.
“It’s fun being part of a movement,” Osran said.
He knows he could lose everything he put into GameStop shares. Yet he’s philosophical.
“We’re all adults, we all know stocks can go up and down,” Osran said. “It’s been insanely lucrative so far, but it could be all gone tomorrow.”

In it's 32 year rich history up to this point, Summerslam has given us some of the most memorable moments in the WWE, and it will look to do so once again. With 11 matches on this year's card, with memorizing championship matches, dream matches, and a highly terrifying debut, this look's to be a promising night overall. Not just that though, the way we have got to this night is quite important aswell, which is what we will be taking a look at before each match commences.
Match 1: (Pre-Show) Drew Gulak (c) v. Oney Lorcan - WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Build:
After dethroning Buddy Murphy on the 'Greatest Stage Of Them All', WrestleMania 35, Tony Nese would run rough shot over the 205 Live brand as a whole. Defeating the likes of Buddy Murphy, Akira Tozawa, Kalisto, & Noam Dar during this time, but this came to an abrupt ending once he reached the Extreme Rules PPV. Walking into said event, Nese would look to defend his WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Drew Gulak, who was able to earn this opportunity by winning a highly competitive fatal four way match. Nonetheless, these two would put on a clinic, while Tony wanted to retain what he worked so incredibly hard to gain in the first place, while Gulak has been trying to reach this very place in his career for over two years.
After quite the encounter, Drew Gulak would pull out the victory after a 'Gu-Lock' would lead to Nese passing out. Causing the technical submission, as he has finally fulfilled his destiny, something he has been working for since his loss to Cedric Alexander at SummerSlam 2018. Raising up his newly-won title, 'Combative' would ring over the PA System, and throughout the arena. Oney Lorcan would emerge from the backstage area, as he would point to Gulak, as a shocked expression would emerge upon the face of the champion. His intentions made clear in the Wells Fargo Center, beginning the road to SummerSlam
On the first 205 Live, post-SummerSlam, Oney Lorcan would take to the ring. Exclaiming that he is indeed coming for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. That he has been waiting for the perfect moment to make his intentions clearly known, and while Drew Gulak may have just fulfilled his 11 month long dream, so is he. Shouting at the top of his lungs, that this is soon to be his brand! In addition to, the next week, Oney Lorcan would go head-to-head against Tony Nese in a #1 Contender's match, in which the former was all too eager to showcase his skills and prowess in this one. In which, he would earn himself a championship shot against Drew Gulak at Summerslam.
Match:
Before we can reach the main show portion of tonight's event, the SummerSlam Kick-Off show will showcase some of 205 Live's finest battling over their richest prize. The challenger would make their entrance first in the form of Oney Lorcan, a confident strut in his step, as he lifts two fingers proudly up in the air. Next up would be the current WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Drew Gulak. His title draped over his shoulder, confident as well he would enter the ring. Both men now in their individual corners, staring eachother down, the opening bell would sound as it would signal the official start of this contest.
The match would begin with a collar-and-elbow tie-up, as these two would engage in a battle of strength, which went to Oney Lorcan by having five pounds on his opposition. Pushing Drew into the corner, he rushes to the said corner, landing a swift uppercut to the bridge of the champion's nose. Falling to his knees, Gulak would sense some urgency on his opponent's part, which guided him to reversing yet another running attack. Lorcan keen for attacking the nose, it made him susceptible to the misfortune of missing the attempted maneuver. Following this, Gulak began to go on the offense, digging his knees into the challenger's left hip. Over-and-over again, this was the repeated attack for several moments, the pain being clearly shown as Oney screamed in agony.
After digging his knee into the hip one last time, Gulak would lift up his opponent, looking to lock him in an octopus stretch. Which instead of leading to a possible submission victory, Lorcan got out of this one with a quick hip toss. Following this, he would run to the ropes, leaping off and attacking Gulak's right arm. Beginning to wrench it, twisting it in a very awkward direction, as he locks in a crucial cross-arm breaker. With it now being locked in, the ball was now in the champion's court, as he crawled towards the ropes. With a sure sign of pure agony presented upon his face, the hold still not fully locked in. Which is how he would end up getting out of it, LIFTING HIS OPPONENT UP, NOW AT A VERTICAL BASE AS HE SENDS THE CHAMPION BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Both of these talented competitors now grounded, as it is now a game of who can make it to their feet first. Which was Drew Gulak, as he gestures for his opposition to do the same. In which he would oblige, Oney getting back up to a vertical base, they would both seek for any clear advantage they could find. Lorcan initially went for an uppercut, but his opponent would reverse it, sending the challenger down to the center of the canvas. Looking to lock in 'Gu-Lock', but instead would find himself rolled-up... 1...2.. KICKOUT! Drew thankfully kicking out just in time, would roll out of this and LOCK IN THE GU-LOCK! HIS ARMS FLAILING IN THE AIR AS HE CRAWLED TO THE ROPES.. ABOUT TO MAKE IT.. WAIT NO HE TAPS OUT!
Drew Gulak (c) def. Oney Lorcan to retain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship (9:00)
With only a few more minutes left until SummerSlam 2019 is set to officially begin, Drew Gulak & Oney Lorcan certainly went to war, but there was only one winner of this battle. With that being the former, while the latter put on one hell of a performance, the champion was able to retain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. After the result was made official, Gulak was given his title, as he would relish in his well-earned victory.
Match 2: Becky Lynch (c) v. Kairi Sane - SmackDown Women's Championship
Build:
After teaming up with the Universal Champion Seth Rollins to defeat both King Corbin & Lacey Evans to retain their respective titles at Extreme Rules, Becky Lynch would take to the ring the following night. Grabbing the mic, she would exclaim that since winning both the RAW & SmackDown Women’s Championships back at WrestleMania 35, she has toppled some of the finest in the women’s division. Including the likes of Bayley, Charlotte Flair, & Lacey Evans. But that she wants some fresh competition, a new talent to get a shot at her RAW Women's Championship, calling out anyone that wants a fair shot.
With that being said, 'The Voyage' would echo throughout the entirety of the arena. Singling the entrance of Kairi Sane, Asuka alongside her as always. They both would enter the ring, staring down Lynch, hoping to possibly intimate her. Kairi would circle the ring, glancing at the title that Lynch had draped over her shoulder so proudly, even just pointing at it. While she didn't exactly say it, she expressed quite heavily her want for Lynch's women's title. Becky would nod in approval before offering a respectful handshake, in which while there was hesitation, Sane would oblige.
During the next few weeks both would showcase their undeniable skills in their respective matches. Which would all lead up to a contract signing on the SummerSlam go-home show, Lynch would proclaim that she respects Kairi, and it's truly undeniable how gifted she is, and that she looks forward to sharing a ring with her this Sunday. But instead of sharing those sentiments, Kairi would just laugh, obnoxiously at that. The confusion would shine through upon Becky's face, which would go from a pale color to complete green. When a particular green mist would be spat in the direction of the champion, from undeniably Asuka, as a beatdown would commence. It seems that this upcoming matchup is much more personal than it first was let on to be.
Match:
In what first seemed like a harmless battle, one that was built off of respect & fortitude, has become quite personal in the last week or so. The culprit of last week's actions would make her entrance first in the form of Kairi Sane, the challenger for the RAW Women's Championship. Of-course, 'The Empress of Tomorrow' Asuka would be alongside her, as they prance down to the ring. Before the champion’s theme would play over the PA System, Kairi gestures a title belt around her waist. Lynch would follow, making an elaborate entrance on her way down to the ring.
'The Man' raises her gold high above in the air, as she keeps her eyes on her challenger's, as they both back up into their respective corners. The bell would sound just several moments later, rushing towards eachother to begin this matchup. A dropkick would be placed upon the tip of Sane's chin, but Kairi would hold onto the rope, which would formulate a response from the champion, repeating with another dropkick. This time falling down because of it, a leg-drop would soon follow, as a great start from Lynch was clearly shown. Going for a quick cover... 1... KICKOUT! The Irish-grown talent will have to do much more than that to get the job done, knowing that she would continue the attack.
Placing a rough-looking grip upon Kairi's neck, she would wrench it over-and-over again. Now while the grip was extremely tight, Sane would be able to fight out of it, firstly making it to her knees and then jamming her right elbow into Becky's gut several times. A look of concern would come across the face of the champion, as her grip would become less-and-less tight, she would have no choice but to let go of it. Firing back on all cylinders, Kairi would strike back, with multiple chops to the chest of her opposition. The pain that Lynch was currently feeling was shown quite clearly, as a powerful forearm would bring her down to the canvas, as she lands directly on her back.
Taking a moment's breather, Sane would be right back on the attack, she charges at Becky once again. Looking for a shining wizard once Lynch got back up to her knees, but Becky would roll through, as both women scramble back up, Kairi throws another leg kick, followed by a big slap. Lynch lept over the strike, crashing down on the ribs of her opposition, a big counter before she could complete her combo. The formerly known, "Pirate Princess" seen hurting, but with the obvious motion from the champion surrounding her, she would kip up into a hurricanrana. The ovation from the crowd would echo throughout the arena, as she was certainly feeling it. Looking to head to the top rope, possibly to crown a new RAW Women's Champion!
A chorus of boos would be heard from the fans in attendance, as Kairi Sane would SOAR THROUGH THE AIR, LANDING A PICTURE PERFECT INSANE ELBOW! The diving elbow drop connects, and she would go for the cover immediately... 1...2... KICKOUT! So close for the 32 year old, but for the 34 year old champion, the focus in her eyes drained as she blows against the mat, trying to recover. Kairi Sane lifts herself to her rear-end, eyes glued on the camera, stating the words 'ITS OVER!'. Heading back up to the top rope, for one last leap of faith, an attempted 'Insane Elbow WOULD MISS! As Becky WOULD TRANSITION INTO AN EFFECTIVE 'DIS-ARM-HER! Kari would try desperately to hang on, but unfortunately would have little-to-no choice but to give up.
Becky Lynch (c) def. Kairi Sane (14:00)
Becky Lynch's arm is raised in victory, before scaling the turnbuckles and hoisting her championship high up in the air. Stepping down from the turnbuckle, she would drape the title on her shoulder once more. But there was no time to mourn for Kairi Sane here, as she rolls out of the ring with Asuka giving a helping hand up the ramp. However now back in the ring, "The Man" is indeed victorious, as SummerSlam starts off with a bang.
Match 3 : Dolph Ziggler v. Goldberg - Special Singles Match
Build:
After being left off of the Money In The Bank 2019, Dolph Ziggler would be seen storming into RAW General Manager, Kurt Angle's office. Understandably frustrated about his misuse, he would demand to be heard, to be appreciated, to be thanked. Exclaiming that he has worked over a decade to earn the respect of his peers, but instead their shoulders shrug. He has worked incredibly hard to earn championship opportunities, but instead they are given to lesser athletes compared to himself. Hoping to just be in the spotlight like he deserves, but that same beam of light is given to old, rusty legends who don't deserve to even be in the same room as him. Nonetheless, he is sick of it, and will no longer stand for such disrespect.
After storming off, the following weeks he would share this same frustration to the world. Spouting out that he should be the one everyone is talking about, the center of attention at all times. However, that is given to the likes of Shawn Micheals, The Undertaker, and even Goldberg. Who haven't been able to compete inside the squared circle properly in years, so why should he be grateful, or even respectful towards them? He believes that they have taken opportunities from him countless times, and it's time for someone to finally step up, and put them in their place once-and-for-all.
On the SummerSlam go-home show, Dolph Ziggler would begin the program, bringing a chair to the ring. Proclaiming that he wouldn't be leaving the ring until he was assigned a SummerSlam match, since he is sick of not having a proper PPV match consistently, like he truly deserves. After a few moments would pass, 'Invasion' would begin to play over the PA System, signaling the arrival of Goldberg. Who would rush to the ring, but luckily enough for Ziggler, he would leave the ring and jump the barricade before he could reach him. Goldberg would gesture for Dolph to bring it on, as it seems his SummerSlam opponent is Goldberg!
Match:
A look of concern would emerge upon Dolph Ziggler's face, once he made his way out from the back, his weeks of whining to officials and most importantly the WWE Universe, has seemingly caught up to him. He wanted a SummerSlam opponent, well he sure got one in the form of Goldberg, possibly not what he wanted however. As he would make it inside the ring, the sense of worry was clear, with no confident strut per-usual. But we can see the exact opposite from his opposition, who makes his way down to the ring, staring a deep hole into the eyes of Ziggler. Once entering the ring, the bell would sound, signaling the start of this encounter.
Looking to prove Dolph Ziggler's numerous points from the past weeks false, he would rush at Dolph Ziggler WITH A SPEAR! Connecting with his signature maneuver already, but certainly isn't done. Picking up his opposition, possibly looking for a 'Jackhammer', but instead would be struck a THUNDEROUS SUPERKICK! Ziggler would head for the cover immediately... 1... KICKOUT! Not even a two count, but Dolph would head to the corner, gesturing for yet another one, but once he went for it, HE WOULD BE CAUGHT BY THE LEG, GOLDBERG WOULD TRANSITION IT INTO A MASSIVE JACKHAMMER! Heading to the cover quite emphatically... 1...2...3...!
Goldberg def. Dolph Ziggler (1:20)
After a quite one-sided affair, Goldberg would come out victorious. Dedicating this match to each-and-every legend, shutting up the man who has been disrespecting them, including himself over the past few weeks. Following this, he would raise his hand in victory, as Dolph Ziggler could only look on, grounded near the corner. The first special singles match concluding, with many more still to come later in the evening, one can hope the rest can put on more of a clinic than Ziggler did.
Match 4: AJ Styles (c) v. Cesaro - United States Championship
Build:
The month prior to SummerSlam, Aleister Black was able to topple "The King Of Swing" Cesaro, in order to earn a future Intercontinental Championship match. In addition to that, due to the loss at Extreme Rules, Cesaro would be forced to leave the blue brand. However, the next night he would make his presence known on Monday Night RAW, teaming with the former United States Champion Ricochet to take on Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows. In which they claimed a decisive victory, but after the match AJ Styles made his intentions clear, targeting the newest member of the roster, ambushing him from behind after a well-earned victory.
Following this, the next week the current United States Champion, AJ Styles would take to the ring with Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows alongside him. He states that he doesn't know who Cesaro thinks he is, waltzing onto his brand because he lost his place of work. So he made sure that a lesson would be learned on his first night back on the Red brand. However, Styles would be interrupted by Cesaro himself, relishing in the fact that The Club lost last week, and he was there to partake in it. Not just that, but exclaims that when returning to his home, there was one title he wanted to win back, that being the United States Championship. Unluckily for Styles, he was in possession of it.
For the next couple of weeks, the two would trade shots at eachother, explaining why they will walk out of Sunday's event as the United States Champion. But on the SummerSlam go-home show, the two would have a face-to-face confrontation over video. Styles would partake in it first, stating that Cesaro doesn't deserve this opportunity, but that he is a giving champion. And this Sunday he is going to give Cesaro the beatdown of his life, one that he won't be able to walk away from, much like he walked away from his previous brand. Cesaro's turn would be up, declaring that he will indeed walk out as a champion, one that the WWE Universe can finally respect. Being forced off of the brand that he once loved surely sucked, but he will make up for it at SummerSlam.
Match:
"Return Of The Fire" blares through the arena speakers, the crowd immediately coming back to life, as Cesaro gets set to make his entrance. All attention immediately snatched and directed to the top of the stage, where the challenger Cesaro emerges, making his descent down the ramp, the crowd still rocking as he does so. Following him would be the current United States Champion, AJ Styles swaggering down the ramp, played in by the boos of a now clued-in crowd. Styles finally enters the ring after a long and steady walk down the ramp. The men exchange a stare, locking eyes as the appointed official of this championship contest steps between the pair, the men maintaining their staring contest as they retreat to their corners.
AJ Styles comes out of the corner, raising his title belt as he spreads his hands wide, not hesitating in handing the title belt to the referee once the time had come. Both men begin circling the ring, again locking eyes as they do so. After what seemed an eon of stalking, the two came together, Styles shooting for a headlock. He locked in the hold, AJ however quickly forced him down to a knee, using his leverage to bring his opposition fully down to the canvas. Now on his back, the grip of the headlock would become even stronger. As shown upon the challenger's face, as it became bright red in a matter of seconds. However, Cesaro quickly found the wrist of Styles, locking in a hammerlock on the latter, placing his knee on the veteran’s ribs. Now transitioning into an elevated boston crab.
Cesaro cranks both of the champion's legs, looking for a possibly early submission finish to this one. But not looking to lose his title so easily, Styles would begin his attempt to crawl to the ropes, with his arms flailing in the process. But eventually he would get there, as Cesaro let go of the hold at the count of four. Ultimately both men scramble back up to their feet, the two approach the center of the square, both hesitantly offering out a hand. Maneuvering for a better position before eventually intertwining hands, a test of strength if you will. But in doing so, Styles would stop on his opposition's left foot, taking out the leg in the process with a running attack to it.
Now with Cesaro down, holding onto his possibly injured leg. Styles would continue his attack, driving his knee into the affected leg, possibly softening him up for the eventual 'Calf Crusher'. Several moments later, he would make the attempt, but would be pushed back to the corner, by the hurt leg. Not doing anyone any favors, but AJ looking to head back to the leg, Cesaro would land a massive boot to the tip of the champion's forehead. Finally sending him down to the canvas, he would make his way to his feet, or atleast one foot. Practically hopping to the corner, he would gesture for AJ to make his way towards him. He would kindly oblige, attempting a running forearm, but CESARO WOULD MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME!
That proved to be a crucial mistake by Styles, since this gave Cesaro time to recuperate. He fires up, bringing Styles to his feet, setting up for the definitive 'Neutralizer'. Flailing his legs, AJ would cause Cesaro to stumble backward until he lost his footing in the process. He turns, Hans snatching his wrist, Styles yanks Cesaro back around towards him, ultimately connecting with a — UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTAHHH! From there, he has Cesaro exactly where he wants him, lifting him up FOR A DEAFENING STYLES CLASH! Immediately going for the cover... 1...2...3...!
AJ Styles (c) def. Cesaro to retain the United States Championship (19:23)
This was indeed a classic bout, that saw the very best from two of Monday Night RAW's finest talents. While Cesaro unluckily came out on the losing end of this battle, he ended up looking like a star. He would exit the ring by the middle rope, as the roar of the crowd would all be for the fighting spirit that lives inside "The King Of Swing", Cesaro. Nonetheless, back in the ring, AJ Styles would raise his United States title proudly high in the air, as he lives to fight another day as champion.
Match 5: Kevin Owens v. Shane McMahon - Special Singles Match | If Owens' wins, he will be reinstated
Build:
Ever since being pronounced "Best In The World" in early November of 2018, Shane McMahon hasn't let a soul forget it. Making sure that noone would forget about this simple fact, but for months it was tolerated. Since it was their boss, they felt as it was out of their control. But for one man he just wouldn't tolerate it, not finding it acceptable. On one of his usual tangents, Shane would be interrupted quite abruptly, as the camera's view would focus on the titantron. Appearing on it would be Kevin Owens, quickly stating that Shane just needs to shut up, for all of our sakes, and while noone may stand up for themselves, he will do it for himself and the rest of the SmackDown roster.
The next couple of weeks would showcase the tension between both Kevin Owens & Shane McMahon. While the latter doesn't appreciate Owens disobeying his authority, he won't allow it either. Even going as far as banning the former from the arena. With only a few weeks until SummerSlam, Kevin would return to the arena, demanding to know where Shane was. When he found him inside his private office, he would knock down the door by his left foot, rushing into attack his boss and because it was an ambush, it was an obliteration. However, following the attack, Kevin Owens would undoubtedly be suspended from the WWE until further notice due to his illogical actions.
While Kevin wasn't able to show up for the next couple of weeks, eventually on the SummerSlam go-home show, Owens would be called via a satellite while Shane McMahon was already in the ring. The latter would grab a mic, stating that while Kevin may not appreciate what he has done for this roster over the past couple of years, he is still a giving man. A thoughtful man at that too, in which he would give Owens a proposition. While this was his choice, he can show up if he would like, if he wants his job back he will have to earn it. At SummerSlam, if Kevin can beat him then he may come back to work, but if he loses, and he will, he will be banished from this company for good.
Match:
The music of “The Best In The World” begins to play as the boos ring in the Scotiabank Arena . Shane McMahon steps out from behind the curtain with his well-known trophy by his side.He he hears the fans but simply points to his ear before heading down to the ring, methodically looking directly at the ring. The music of the suspended Kevin Owens hits as the fans erupt with cheers. "The Prizefighter" steps out and he stands atop the ramp and begins to walk down to the ring, staring down McMahon from outside the ring. Owens gets into the ring, before he can even go to his corner he is met by Shane as the two men stare down in the center of the ring.
The referee attempts to separate the two men but gets pushed aside by Shane McMahon and is told to call for the bell by Kevin Owens. . The referee relents and he calls for the bell and immediately Kevin and Shane begin trading elbows. Kevin comes ahead managing to back Shane into the ropes, he runs ahead and attempts to go for a clothesline to send his opposition out of the ring, but the attempted running attack was an unfortunate miss. Which would result in him going through the middle rope, and Shane following in suit. In which the aforementioned competitor would throw Owens back into the ring, not looking to stay on the outside for too long.
Kevin grabs to his back upon impact after a bodyslam. Motionless as Kevin sits up, looking at his fallen body. He then stands up and yells at the crowd, saying that Owens can't compete with him in the ring and never will be able to. He wisely turns back as Kevin is crawling toward the ropes, delivering a deadlift german suplex to stunt his movement once more. Kevin now gets her back to his feet, delivering a chop to his chest that rings throughout the arena. He firms the attack, delivering a slap across the face. This enrages his opposition, and he swings at Shane wildly with a clothesline, connecting with nothing but air as she ducks underneath.
Kevin spins back to eat an enzuigiri off one leg from Shane which causes him to fall to one knee. Struggling to keep his balance, he would focus on solely that. Now having his balance in check, he would get up to his feet, now landing that slick clothesline. Kevin now in control, gestures the end of it all. As Shane gets to his feet, he begins swinging wildly, before connecting on a right hand. Following it up, Owens would look for a "Pop-Up Powerbomb", BUT SHANE WOULD REVERSE IT INTO A DDT! Shane now slides down into the cover... 1...2... KICKOUT! Owens still kicking in this one, Shane would look to pick him up once more, attempting a tornado DDT, but instead OWENS WOULD CATCH HIM IN MID-AIR, HITTING A MODIFIED POP-UP POWERBOMB! Now once again sliding down in the cover... 1...2...3...!
After a brutal war between these two have come to a stunning conclusion. Due to Shane McMahon's loss here tonight, Kevin is now reinstated to the SmackDown brand. Just a few moments after the closing bell would sound, as it echoed throughout the arena, Kevin Owens would relish in the hard-fought victory. As Shane rolls out of the ring, he pushes away a member of medical staff, grabbing the ice pack from him and holds it to his shoulder, walking backstage in frustration. On another day, it might have ended differently, but tonight, Owens emerges victorious.
Match 6: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) v. Aleister Black - Intercontinental Championship
Build:
Shortly after the intense encounter between both Aleister Black & Cesaro, the former was named the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship. Currently held by one Shinsuke Nakamaura, on the first SmackDown after Extreme Rules, the two would have a face-to-face confrontation. In which Black would make it abundantly clear that the only way SummerSlam is ending is with the title Shinsuke proudly wears around his waist, no longer in his possession. But rather draped around his shoulder, wear it truly belongs. In response, Shinsuke would nod kindly, turning his head in confusion, before walking out of the ring without a true response of any kind.
The following week, the camera's view would show the inside of Aleister Black's locker-room. While it may be dark & gloomy, with no sense of light whatsoever, a knock would suddenly be heard. Over the past month or so, this is the certain knock that was heard to identify Black's upcoming opponent. In which it turned out to be Cesaro, this time, Black would open the door to the surprise of noone. While he figured noone was there, he looked to close the door. However, he would be attacked by one Shinsuke Nakamura, who was hiding a little bit to the right of the door. He was silent last week, now his actions are certainly speaking volumes.
On the SummerSlam go-home show, these two would take part in an official contract signing. Aleister Black would kick it off, but before signing the contract, he would speak with a mic already in-hand. He would state that going silent two weeks was fine, that he himself is a man of few words at most times. But when Shinsuke attacked him cowardlessely, they began to have a problem. When he knocked on the door, and didn't show his face, there was no honor or sense of integrity, and that isn't what the Intercontinental Championship should stand for, and it no longer will come this Sunday. Once again Shinsuke would just simply nod, looking to leave the ring once more, but instead Black would grab him, turn him around, shouting at him to "DO SOMETHING". However, the two would just stare into eachother eyes until the segment would come to a close.
Match:
The entrance theme of "The Anti-Hero, Aleister Black, hits as he makes his way down to the ring. Receiving a rumbling reaction from the WWE faithful, who have rallied behind the Netherlands superstar in his fight into the title contention. The music dies down as the theme of the 172nd Intercontinental Champion fills the arena in Toronto. As the guitar strings begin to sound throughout the BPZ arena, suddenly the beat drops as the lights go pitch-black, as smoke emerges on the stage. The Intercontinental Champion now steps out, sporting his old red attire, as he heads into the ring with a specific swagger to his entrance.
But what's this? Shinsuke runs towards Aleister Black, both men colliding in a big shoulder check, throwing hands as the bell rings. The referee hastily hands the Intercotinental Championship to the timekeeper as the match begins. It looks like neither man is content with a feeling out period tonight, going right into trying to win as quickly as possible! Shinsuke lays in some forearm smashes to the collar of the Anti-Hero, but the stocky challenger starts to shrug off the strikes, glaring the champion in the eyes before sending his opponent a few steps back following a knife edge chop.
The challenger responds with a huge double hand chop to the chest of the champion. Blackhopes to return fire as he steps back to rebound off the ropes, but gets dropped with a huge arching suplex to the canvas. The crowd gasp at the sheer height that Nakamura got from that toss as he crashes down to the mat. Aleister stumbles forward as the match shows no sign of stopping. He pulls the champion into a gutwrench, looking to hit a knee strike into the gut, but his opposition is able to escape and throw the challenger into the corner with an arm drag. Seeing his opportunity to even the odds against such an explosive challenger, Shinsuke connects with a stunning knee strike.
The champion scrambles to maintain this opening in the match, one wrong move, and it could call come crashing down. He starts laying consecutive knee drops to the body of the challenger before running back and landing a running knee to add on to the agony that the challenger must be feeling by now, landing it perfectly. Nakamura continues by lifting up the challenger, the crowd cheering this lighting fast match. The champion tries to hit yet another suplex, this time from behind, but the challenger would be able to duck under, hitting a german suplex of his own. The two competitors now grounded, it would be a game of who would make it to their feet first?
Black grabs the ropes to get to his feet. He gestures to the crowd, calling for the "Black Mass" possibly. He gets into position, bringing up the champ from the mat solely by his foot, but Nakamura powers his opposition up into a back body drop, squashing the Black Mass attempt. Now being shaky on his feet, Black pushes him to the ropes, but Shinsuke reacts looking for an attempted "Kinshasa", but the challenger turns and captures Yelich with a BLACK MASS! Falling directly into the pinfall, there would be no time to be wasted here... 1...2...3...!
Aleister Black def. Shinsuke Nakamura (c) to win the Intercontinental Championship (20:59)
In a stacked showcase of SmackDown's finest, both men having forged their path to this moment, but only one may stand tall in the end. And after that crazy sprint of a match, Aleister Black is victorious. The former champion, Shinsuke Nakamra is currently being escorted to the back by the ring crew. However, in the celebration, Aleister Black is handed the Intercontinental Championship from the appointed official of this matchup. Lifting up his newly one title, with a huge grin upon his face, as he has won his first singles title here on the main roster.

READ THIS POST. Especially if you support, or question what actually goes on, inside a BLM movement. Now, this IS a long story, but everything is crucial, and there’s a lot of meat to this story. It might also open eyes and change perspectives, so, here we go.
All videos and pictures are linked at the end and follow through the story in order.
A little backstory first: I live in Pennsylvania, and I made a bunch of friends through Xbox around the 2018 holiday season. Me, a guy we can call, “Fred,” and some Canadiens, grew closer as friends as we Snapchatted, FaceTimed, and video gamed a whole year away. In 2019, I saved enough money to book a round trip ticket to Kenosha. After giving my mom a panic attack at take off, (sorry Mom) we spent that week solidifying our friendship in stone. It was the best week of my life. I might’ve gotten sick the first night from over-exhaustion and my first dab hits, but hey, best week of my life. During this week, I met plenty of Fred’s friends who live in Kenosha as well. Two friends significant to this story, we can call the “Chris” and “Mike.”
Kenosha isn’t the richest city in the area, but it’s also not the upmost ghetto either. It definitely has a hood vibe to it, but it doesn’t feel as dangerous as walking through South Side Chicago, which is just over an hour away. However, the people of Kenosha are certainly not to be fucked with. You don’t step on toes, or else you end up on someone’s radar. My friends are the same way. They love to fight. They brag about all their victories and describe the nastiest, bloodiest battles they’ve been in like Vikings trying to prove whose manlier. It’s pretty funny, and really entertaining, but also quite comforting, knowing how, if anything were to go down, I have a group of guys willing to knock some heads together with me. Little did I know, I would get to experience one of these stories first hand. There’s more on that soon. After this week, 6 months go by and Mike is trying to sell his car. He didn’t lie to me, it’s not by any means the best car, but it works and it only had 140,000 miles on it, which is really good for an old car. I was in desperate need of any motor vehicle, so I saved every penny I could to match his price. My cousin was kind enough to buy my ticket, and I had enough money for gas to drive back to PA. So, I scheduled a flight to go hangout with them for a week. Fred even wanted to drive back with me to stay at my place for a week. After I offered to pay for the ticket, Mom said yes, so the plan was a go.
So, I took off from Pennsylvania and landed at Milwaukee on August 22nd, 2020. Fred and Mike picked me up in my soon-to-be car They let me drive it around and all we really amounted to doing that day was drive around Lake Michigan shouting random things at random people. Some of the shit they said was hilarious. The FIRST people we saw was a couple. We saw them kiss and watched as the guy smacked her ass. We were all FLOORED and, as we pull up to the couple, Mike shouts “You get dat ass, boi. Mmhm.” I drove off with Fred and I dying as Mike just smiled and nodded at the guy. It was actually really fun, and we went back to Fred’s house to play Xbox until aNOTHER Xbox friend of Fred’s, we’ll call him “Guy”, teased that we should pick him up and spend a couple of hours with him. It was already midnight but my mental clock was saying 1AM. I’ve pulled all nighters before and plus, this kid lived in the not-so-shady part of South Side, and I had never been to Chicago, so I was down. Me, Fred, and Mike, went and picked him up around 1AM, where we toured through Chicago until 7AM.
First of all, I want to mention that there are cops sitting in the middle of just about every intersection. I feel like this should have made me feel safer, but it actually just made me feel more uneasy. Besides that, we had a blast. We saw the Bean! If you are u familiar with said Bean, it’s a big mirror in the shape of a kidney bean. It was after hours, so we didn’t get any pictures with it because park security was there to quickly turn us around. We rode around on a Lyft bike for a while after that. While doing so, we decided we wanted to walk on O-Block. This is a rapper-gang domain on 64th street. We get there and saw a nice ass foreign chillin in the driveway of a half run-down lookin building that’s surrounded by slums. Fred and Mike immediately got out of the car and started recording.
“We on O-Block, already know we out here,” Mike said trying to hype up is Snapchat story. After 50 seconds of pointless hooting, he turned to me and Guy and called us bitches for not getting out of the car. I immediately open my door, because I ain’t no bitch. After seeing me step out, Guy opened his door. The very second that Guy stood up from getting out of his seat, Mike runs back into that car yelling “We leavin’ Guy’s ass here.” We didn’t, but who’s the real bitch after hyping it up and then only wanting to stay for one Snap video? Anyways, after that, we spent at least 45 looking for the Juice WRLD memorial. After finding it, everyone was knocking out in the car, including guy who had been sleeping for the past hour already. So, we took him home, and me, Mike, and Fred went back to Fred’s place, where I was staying, to spend the rest of the day playing Xbox. We had left for one reason or another and came back to Fred’s Brother-in-Law, who we’ll call “Aidan”, sitting on the front steps having a smoke. He noticed us and started shouting about how a man was shot maybe 3-4 blocks over. That’s when Kenosha turned into a war zone.
If you know everything already you can skip this paragraph. If you don’t know, the man who was shot was Jacob Blake. This is how I heard the story so I apologize if it’s not 100% correct. If you want, you can go look it up somewhere, but I’m writing this to share my viewpoint, not to copy and paste a news article. Anyways, onto the story: Jacob Blake was a Chicago man visiting Kenosha for a nephew’s birthday party. He was involved in an altercation trying to break it up, and the police that responded were treating him as though he was the threat. Having none of it, the man walked around the front of his car, from the passenger door to the driver, and opened the door. At this moment, two officers stood behind him to block him from leaving. One with a taser drawn, the other, his pistol. As Blake reaches for his son who is sitting in the driver seat, one officer unloads 7 bullets into his back. A few barely missing his spinal column, by the grace of God, but one managed to hit the son’s leg. This caused a county-wide Black Lives Matter movement, which wasn’t the first to happen in Kenosha. It’s actually the third I believe, but this one WAS the worst of all of them.
The rallies started that night, and hearing about garbage trucks being lit on fire, was news to all of my friends. This hadn’t happened in the prior rallies and riots, so they wanted to go check out the scene. I can’t remember the exact time, but it was pretty dark. Maybe 8 or 9PM. Me, Fred, Mike, and Chris this time, all pull up to a parking lot a block over from the courthouse, where most of the action happened. This also happened to be about 10 blocks from Fred’s house. As we pull up, we notice an orange glow from behind a building and a really nasty smell. It was almost the worst combination of sour and spicy you can think of. I’m not really sure how to put it into words, but it was almost like a bowl of straight cinnamon was being held under my nose, and getting stronger. Sick of the smell, we stepped out of the car to get wafted by the same smell, only the bowl was much bigger, and deep in your sinuses. On top of that was our eyes burning into their sockets. We drove right into fucking tear gas. As we’re all choking and gauging our eyes out, we hear two more loud ass pops come from the courthouse. More teargas. We manage to compose ourselves and get a bit of tolerance to the gas. We immediately head towards the shouting and explosions. As we come around the back of the building, and the front of the courthouse comes into view, we see a garbage truck parked on the opposite side of the road, completely engulfed. You didn’t have to be anywhere near it to feel the heat, but it also hadn’t exploded yet. The gas tanks were still intact AND full, yet there was a dangerous amount of people around it. Some of them being my friends, as hey went closer to go check out the truck. Me, not wanting to die so far from home, stayed back at the corner of the courthouse just watching. I had lost track of my friends for about 5 minutes, when I saw two guys book it across the big ass intersection. Oh, and what do ya know, my three friends are tailing them. Behind my friends? A mass swarm of people all hauling ass with half of them shouting “What did he did do?” The other half shouting “Get em.”
Now, let me explain why all of that was happening. They were just standing there minding their business in the grassy median. Fred was a little farther from the other two, and he wasn’t saying much. He was taking in the scene and also watching for any fights to take off. He said he noticed a face, I don’t remember the guy’s name, but him and Fred don’t exactly have the best standing. He walked over and talked to a couple guys for a minute or two, but Fred didn’t pay any attention. Suddenly, the two guys he was talking to, walked up accusing Fred of busting car windows. Obviously they’re trying to start something. They succeed as Fred immediately gets pissed and starts shouting that we’ve only been here five minutes, and that we didn’t do anything but look. This next part all happens within a few seconds. As Fred takes a step forward to charge them, Mike grabs the back of his shirt and pulls back, using Fred almost like a slingshot to get a head start and also ripping his shirt. As Mike pulls back however, one of those fat ass Gatorade bottles filled with water cracked Fred in the face. He even admitted it hit him pretty hard. Right after, Mike then pushes Fred, lunging him at the two, and yelling at him to “Go get em.”
This is where I see everyone hauling ass and screaming. On my side of the street, I saw Chris recording, as he does most times if he can’t be involved, and Mike gaining on one of the guys they were chasing. As soon as he gets a hand on him, Mike locks both of the guys arms behind his back and leans back a little, so the guy has a hard time getting away. As Mike is shouting “Get him,” I start to run up to lay into the guy until I saw a badass looking white guy with a bandana mask and no shirt on. He definitely looked like he could do more damage then me, so I stopped to watch and let him do the damage. He sure as hell did a lot more than I would’ve. After about 2 straight minutes of just laying into the guy, he stepped back and Mike gave him one quick jab to the side before letting him go, which knocked him to his knees. Mike then kicked the same spot of the jab and sent him flying about two feet to the curb. The impact knocked out one of his gauges and clearly disoriented him. He picked up his gauge and tried to run, but only managed 3 steps before collapsing. Mike started shouting, “We not done boy!” and started chasing him again as he finally found his footing.
Cut back to the chase, but on the other side of the street, where Fred is trailing the other guy through a parking lot. As they’re passing through a set of cars, Fred said this big ass black dude just came out of nowhere and decked the kid once, laying him out. Fred and the man shared a look that told Fred “he’s all yours,” and Fred immediately hopped on the guys chest and started pummeling his face. He felt it when it happened, but through all the adrenaline and commotion, he kept bashing this guys face in after breaking his pinky in two spots. He eventually got off of him, and the dude missed a few swings before catching two hits from Fred and booking it. Everyone met up in a parking lot (minus me for I had lost them AGAIN) and they’re all talking shit, as you do after you kick someone’s ass. The guys are still trying to act tough but eventually they try to run a third time, and my friends let them go. Fred did get one last crack in the back of the ones head though.
At this point, I’m watching two guys driving, what I later found out to be, a stolen car from a sales lot. This same car lot has a Molotov cocktail thrown in the center of it. They’re doing all these drifts and turns because no one is really using the road. It’s dark with a horde of people and there’s a ticking time bomb 30 yards away. On their last stretch, they go backwards down the road at at least 35MPH. They go to do a 180 degree drift and face the proper direction, but they notice a car in the lane next to them. They over-correct and that rams them into the curb and blows out a tire. Turns out my friends knew the guy.
We left shortly after for the night, and we returned the next day, maybe around noon or a little after. Three garbage trucks are sitting at this intersection, idle and deSTROYED. All black and brown with ash and burns. Mike wanted a good album cover, so he climbed on the truck and I snapped some photos. Then a guy about 20-30 ft away yells at us to get down “or else” or something along those lines. He obviously wanted trouble, but I still don’t get why he cared? Anyways, we finished up what we were doing and hopped off. As were standing around, I look towards the direction of the guy who yelled, and he was walking towards us with another male, and a female. I didn’t say anything to my group, I just kept my eye on him. Evidently, I was the only one who saw him walk right past us without even saying a word. I guess he didn’t care? Maybe he realized there’s four of us? I don’t know.
Anyways, nothing much happened that day in terms of my experience. My friends went back out to the riots. I was exhausted as all hell, so I stayed back. When they come back, they’re telling me how they hit a Boost Mobile after they noticed the door was already busted in. They didn’t get much, a few shitty cases, all the phones and good cases were gone They did, however, figure out what they were doing. So the night after, me and some guys are driving to get food and noticed a liquor store with the glass door broken. There was no one there. We figured there was an alarm or SOMEthing, so we just kept driving to our McDonalds order. On the way back, passing the same store, there’ was still NO ONE. THERE. Needless to say, we turned into the lot and one of us walked up to the door. It’s not completely shattered, so we needed gloves in order to avoid cutting ourselves. As we’re trying to get the door open, an all black car whipped into the parking lot, making us think it’s the cops. Four guys rolled down their windows asking if we were there for the same reason. We were. They get out the car and helped get the door open. As we were waiting for our friend to get back, we’re keeping a close eye out for anything suspicious. Next thing you know, he’s barreling out of the store with 8 bottles in his arms and three Marlboro cartons. All the good stuff was gone, so we got 4 bottles of some shitty liquor I can’t remember, and 4 of Bacardi. Immediately, we had to flaunt our spoils, so we go to someone else’s house that’s loaded with 5 guys. We all didn’t end up going, but most of us did, because they were tripping acid and REALLY wanted to have some fun.
At first, we just busted some windows at small car lots. Then we found a hefty ass brick and decided we needed a hefty ass window. We noticed a BP gas station with its door not boarded up. We concluded that it was the perfect target. The guy took his time throwing it, but he did get it through the door, it just didn’t do as much as we wanted. As they turned around with only slight disappointment, the door completely shattered and collapsed in a sparkly snowstorm. With a quick look at one another, it was decided we would wrap the block and see if we spotted any flashing lights. So, we lapped the block, and no cops. Perfect. Two went in, one stayed at the door, and the rest were in the car. They were in there for, maybe two minutes, when the three heard the silent alarm become not-so-silent. They only spent maybe three extra minutes in there, until one is barreling out with two tall stacks of glass, and the other has a shorter one in his hands. As the first guy got in, we saw he made it out with 2 almost $400 bongs. One octopus-looking 8 perc, and one with four arms and two spirals. The tragic thing is, as he got into the car, he clacked them together and broke one of the 8 percs off, and cracked a spiral on the other. But the mood was uplifted when the other guy got in the car, because he had a fat ass jar of ones and change, like they had finished counting the register. There was a total of $200 in ones, $50 in change, and about a quarter of some GAS. Not the kind that should be at a gas station. He gave us some, because we got him out there, and we had a nice session with surprisingly well functioning, brand new, broken bongs.
The next day, as Mike, Fred, and I, were driving around, we saw a shit ton of people just walk away from the courthouse and start walking down the road. So, we decided to join. At first, we were behind them, and then we had help from a really friendly guy with a really big gun to get to the front of the people. This is where our job was to block intersections, preventing people from getting hit by other cars. Communication isn’t so great when you’re in a march, though, especially if you’re not WALKING in the front. So, they hit us with a surprise turn and we slowly got flooded to back. After maybe 30 minutes of us being there, we noticed numerous loud bangs but could not see the source. It was either fireworks or someone was shooting one bullet at a time at random, and the latter was unlikely. No one was screaming or running so we thought someone’s trying to get more attention.
After hearing these noises, we notice a big guy carrying a big gun walking in pace with us a few yards away. He was at least 6ft tall, 250lbs of muscle, wearing sunglasses and a bandana around his face, staring dead ahead, like a soldier walking in line. He slowly inches our direction, still keeping pace, until he’s about 6 feet away from Fred. “Ay bro,” Fred called to the guy, and he acknowledged us by looking at Fred “How you doin’?” The guy nodded. “Ay, uh, if you don’t mind me askin’, what kind of gun is that?” The guy resumed his straight ahead gaze without a word. “Alright, you have a good day sir,” Fred said, almost with a tone hinting that he didn’t wanna find out. We both returned to our separate and connected worlds, until we lost sight of the guy.
As time goes on, we notice a red truck slowly creeping up behind us, and we also discover that they are the source of the fireworks. As I said, they we’re slowly creeping up. It took them around 45 minutes just to get next to us. These were some pretty decent fireworks, and if they didn’t go so high, I wouldn’t think it’d be safe to have around a mass swarm of people walking through a residential area. It’s not safe to begin with, but they were fucking cool. They pushed forward just enough to allow us to see inside the cab, and, holy shit, did they have a lot of those things. I mean crates of them. As more cars gathered behind us, they made their way in front of us. Fred sticks his head out the window as he yells, “Ay bro, can get we get one?” “40 bucks” a guy yells back. “Come on bro” Fred tried, but to no avail. Fred pulled his head back in the window and we all cursed at the guy amongst ourselves. What kind of twisted fuckhead comes to a Black Lives Matter march to make a quick profit? We didn’t buy one, but we did realize that he had duct tape over his license plate. The only writing you could see was “Illinois.”
After further investigation, we found out Kenosha Police and Feds had the main entrance from Illinois into Kenosha blocked off, but there’s ways around that. People found those ways. It only took 2 hours (roughly the travel time to Illinois) after it hit media for it gain a LOT more attraction. As mentioned, we were in the first row of cars behind the people. We hit a bridge and come to a stop. Some discussion about Blue Lives Matter and KKK being posted up nearby buzzed through the crowd. We took the opportunity to look behind us at the 4 lanes of cars that stretch farther than we can see. Every other car we looked at had duct tape covering their plates. If you’re there to spread an innocent message of love, then why feel the need to literally cover your ass? Not everyone was trying to sell something, which leads me to believe they were there for other kinds of mayhem. Eventually, the truck pulls over so they can service the massive rows of cars as they pass by. We stayed in this march from start to finish. And believe me, we would’ve walked if we weren’t 1) already in the car and 2) trying to serve a purpose of protecting the people.
The march ended at the courthouse, and Jacob Blake’s family came to Kenosha to tell us Chicago was gonna come the next day to fuck shit up. We stayed at the rally afterwards, and it was getting pretty dark. Well, as dark as it could be with 4 military trucks armed up the ass with weaponry just sitting around. Anyways, the rally stayed peaceful until there was a single guy walking around asking anyone he could for some glass or bottles or anything. He wanted to throw shit at the line of police. That’s when another guy comes up 5 minutes later and sets ten glass bottles on the fountain, and the previous guy found them. I watched him as he found his weapon, ran to the side of the crowd, remaining unseen, and throwing everything he can get his hands on at the line. And that’s when shit turned crazy.
Behind the line of shields, another officer sat fully kitted in protective gear with a 50mm barrel just sitting on his left shoulder. Waiting. Waiting for this guy to throw something. The second the bottle struck, the officer loaded a canister and fired it into the crowd, where the guy was hiding in plain sight. Everyone scattered because they were unaware of what it was. We were thinking tear gas, but after about 30 seconds of sitting, it exploded. It felt like a firework went off right next to me, but I wasn’t even near the crowd it was fired at. More importantly it only gave a small pout of smoke. A dud. Which gave the okay for anyone else wanting to join on the “fun” because no one was getting hurt, right?
There was a 17yr old there who was kitted for a zombie apocalypse/nuclear fallout. He went about halfway into the street, which the officers said to not walk on the street at all. However, many people were, and they proved to not cause any issues so the officers let them be. Whether it’s directly tied to the same truck from earlier or not, people flanked around the side of the line on this same street. They stood about 30 yards away and aimed primed fireworks at the officers. This triggered even more retaliation. When another canister was fired for the rioters to stop their nonsense, it landed on the poor 17 year old kid’s head. It knocked him out cold. What made it worse was smoke started pouring out the canister that landed next to his unconscious body. 4 guys immediately hauled ass and pulled him out of the smoke. It turned out to not be tear gas, just regular gas, but even then it took the kid 5 minutes to come-to. It , After all that, the throwing and chaos proved to only escalate. Fred wanted to leave, and I was the driver here. Mike however, threw a hissy fit and essentially told us to fuck off if we were gonna be pussies. We did wait for him, for about 15 minutes, but he stayed the whole rest of the night so we left without him. Turns out he had some conversations with the policemen as he stood beside the line and they pulled their big ass equipment out of the trucks.
During this night, I had mentioned Blue Live Matter and KKK earlier. Well, that was no joke. They were mainly stationed around government buildings and places of federal interest, such as the school the president utilized while he was staying. Apart of this Blue Lives Matter group is a kid named Kyle Rittenhouse. If you know this story as well you skip the rest of this paragraph. For those who don’t know of the 7 felonies this 17 year old committed, he’s an Illinois resident, who transported an AR-15, I believe, into Kenosha and posted up outside a gas station. A man had approached him and threw a “Molotov Cocktail” at rittenhouse who, in retaliation, shot the guy point blank in the fucking head. And he walked away with no remorse after shooting a guy who actually only threw a plastic shopping bag at him. He stupidly returns some short time later (or maybe he never left the scene but I was told he did) and immediately gets jumped after some guys realize who he is. In the midst of getting absolutely fucking STOMPED, he let off another round that pierced a man through the center of his chest. As everyone else scattered, this guy only got to turn around and take 3 staggered steps before he dropped. And as if killing two people wasn’t enough, the shooter stands up and starts firing down the street, taking out a massive chunk of one guys arm. The most fucked part about this story though, is when he immediately tried to turn himself in, and the cops in the car simply thanked him and drove off. The kid went back home with mommy where he stayed up all night until he could safely turn himself in the next day.
Onto this next day, Chicago. That day turned out to be not only Chicago, but also Milwaukee (I’ve heard to be the wannabe Chicago), and two other close counties. There were already some small fires being set to businesses, but when we took a drive around the city, it was heartbreaking. So many boarded up windows, busted in glass, buildings on fire, and piles of ash inside the framework of used-to-be buildings. You could feel the heat from inside the car, about 20-30 ft away. On top of that, there were residential B&Es happening a mere 5 streets over from us.
Also on this day, Rittenhouse’s ex girlfriend makes a post about him with pictures saying all this nasty shit about him, which, let’s be honest, we all would’ve assumed to be true. Anyways, Fred saw the post and immediately got frustrated. “Bro I know this kid, I just can’t remember the fuck where from.” “Shitty” I said, and no body thought anything of it until the next day. Fred suddenly screamed his fucking head off scrolling on his phone. As I began to ask him what the fuck he had to blow out my ear drums for, he shoved his phone in my face. Suddenly, I’m watching a recording on his camera roll.
The Video: it’s in front of Lake Michigan where Fred, Chris, and another friend of theirs, “Jayden,” are all in Jaydens car, just driving around aimlessly. They saw a group of girls all huddled together looking hype as fuck. They were clearly going to fight. One of the boys immediately wanted to pull over, so it can get recorded. So, Chris got to taping, and, at the very start of the video, you see this kid with some weird ass blue-ish shorts, a grey sweatshirt, and American flag crocs step into frame and knocks a girl on the back of the head. That was the exact same outfit as one of pictures the ex girlfriend posted of Rittenhouse, because that picture was taken moments before my friends pulled up to the lake. Immediately you see Fred open the car door, and, he’s so pissed already, he slams it on Chris. Fred grabs the kid by the hood. He starts asking for someone to verify he’s got the right women-puncher. Within the short time of standing around, Jayden had gotten out of the car as well, but he wasn’t wasting time. With Fred still holding the kid’s jacket, Jayden cleans his left cheek and Rittenhouse drops straight to his knees and it’s Game. Fucking. On. Fred and Jayden don’t even hesitate, hopping on the kid’s ass giving him every knee, knuckle, and kick they can give. Eventually, he drops completely prone and tries to army crawl away while still taking boots. The only reason my boys let up, was because Fred hopped on top of him and started wailing on him, but he cocked his arm back a little too far one time and hit a girl in the leg. Now he’s shook that they might get turned on for that, so they immediately up and leave the scene. I think it’s safe to say the bastard got what he deserved before anyone knew he deserved it.
Well, that’s the story. If you take anything away from this, however, take this: the issue is communication. No, not all cops are bastards, and no, not all protesters are peaceful, but when the cops open fire on ALL the protesters, and the protesters are seeing “ALL” the cops shooting at them, it paints a bad picture for both sides. Cops who commit a felony, should be charged with their felonies, and the peaceful protesters should be recognized as that. Peaceful. Attack the problematic ones. Hell, throw them under the fucking bus. You just saw someone throw a brick at the police line? Have 4 people carry that motherfucker to the line where he can get thrown into a truck with a canister of tear gas to keep him company. You just saw your partner or heard of someone you work with shooting someone who meant no harm? PERSONALLY ARREST THEM. Identify the problems and solve the problems, not the group they’re “affiliated” with. Love your brothers, and your brothers will love you back.

I have seen some posts here wondering about the wisdom of investing in Wealthsimple's parent company, Power Corporation of Canada (POW.TO). I decided to look more into this, decided to post my investment thesis and research on why I, long-term, I have a very bullish view on Wealthsimple (and by extension POW.TO), and why I think this is equal to being an early stage investor in a Wealthsimple IPO.

Overview

Name: Wealthsimple (WS) (Crunchbase Profile)
Founded: 2014
Ownership: Power Corporation of Canada (POW.TO) (83.2% ownership)
Assets Under Mangement: $5.4 billion, as of June 30, 2020 (4.9 billion in June 30, 2019)

Current Products

Wealthsimple Invest (ETF Roboadvisor service), WS was one of the first-movers in this space in Canada and offered robo-advising as part of its initial product in 2015. WS claims to have largest digital investing presence in Canada (70% of the market) (reference).
Wealthsimple Cash, a savings account service
Wealthsimple Trade, a commission free trading app where users can buy and sell ~8,000 stocks and ETFs
Wealthsimple Crypto, a commission free cryptocurrency trading app, currently in beta
SimpleTax.ca, a free tax-return service used by ~1 million Canadians per year, acquired in late 2019

Investment Rounds

WS has had many successful rounds of funding and a vote of confidence from both its parent POW.TO and other multinationals investing in fintech.

Last year WS received a $100 million dollar investment led by Allianz X, the start up investor arm of German financial services giant Allianz
WS has had 7 total investing rounds, totalling $266.9 million (reference)

Growth

WS has been extremely aggressive in targeting growth areas. Wealthsimple’s CEO Mike Katchen has said he wants to position the company as a “full-stack” financial services company. Here are some of their current expansion areas:

UK and USA Expansion - in 2017, they started offering similar investing services in the UK and the US (reference and reference).
Socially Responsible ETFs - WS recently partnered with Mackenzie Investment to offer socially responsible ETFs with a social and environmental focus. Although probably not something that older investors care about, this is particularly important for younger investors who want to make sure their investments are socially responsible
Cryptocurrency - WS is currently testing a beta service of their cryptocurrency app, and offering fee-free cryptocurrency trading, similar to Wealthsimple Trade. Whatever your views of cryptocurrency (I'm of the view that I can in some cases be part of a portfolio to hedge against risk), it's here to stay. Earlier this month, WS was the first company in Canada to register with the Ontario Securities Exchange Commission (reference). My sense is that crypto will face increasing regulations and scrutiny in the coming years, which will be a good thing for WS which is a step ahead of the game (reference). Even Google is starting to look into relaxing its restraints on crypto (reference).
Other full-stack services - WS has been mum on what other services they might offer, but insurance, mortgages, and chequing accounts could be other areas of disruption. (Reference)

People

WS is run by young guys who have big ambitions and plans for the company. Sometimes there are CEOs with the intangibles that can really drive a company's growth, and from what I can glean, I think the company has a lot of potential here in terms of vision by its leaders. You can read more about the founders here

Michael Katchen, CEO, Background: Led product and marketing at a start up called 1000memories, a Y Combinator startup later acquired by Ancestry.com. Worked for McKinsey & Company.
Brett Huneycutt, COO, Rhodes Scholar... not much else I know about the guy

Quote sfrom CEO: Michael Katchen
On being laughed out of the boardroom when he proposed his idea for Wealthsimple:

Within the last month, Wealthsimple has also opened an office in London. Katchen said a push into the European market is “possible” as its “ambitions are global,” but right now the Canadian and U.S. markets are “a lot to chew.” It is a far cry from the company’s early days: Katchen said he was “laughed out of the boardroom” for laying out a global vision for Wealthsimple at a time when they had just $1.9-million in funding and 20 users***.***“It’s a very personal mission of mine since I moved back from California, to inspire more Canadian companies to think big and to think internationally about the businesses that they’re building,” he said. (reference)

On Wealthsimple's growth in the next 10-15 years:

Wealthsimple has more than $5 billion in assets under management and 175,000 customers in Canada, the U.S. and U.K. He sees that reaching $1 trillion 15 years. “We’re just getting started,” he said. “Our plans are to get to millions of clients in the next five years.” (reference)

Brand Value and Design

Out of all the financial services company in Canada, WS probably has the most cohesive and smart design concept across its platforms and products. I see the value in Wealthsimple in not just the assets they have under management, but also the value of the brand itself. I mean, what kind of financial services company makes a blog post about their branding colour scheme and font choices? Also see: Wealthsimple’s advertisement earlier this year capturing 4 million views on Youtube.
There also seems to be very strong brand awareness and brand loyalty amongst its users. I think a lot of users find WS refreshing as a financial services company because they cut through the "bullshit" and legalese, and try to simply things for the consumer. They also have their own in house team of designers and creative directors to do branding, design, and advertising, and this kind of vertical integration is generally unheard of in the financial services industry (reference).

Potential IPO?

Interestingly, the CEO’s ultimate goal is to take the company public. Therefore, I see an investment in POW.TO as being an early stage pre-IPO investor in WS (reference).

The goal is to get Wealthsimple to the size and scale to go public, something that Katchen said he’s “obsessed with.” While admitting that an IPO was still a few years down the road, Katchen already has a target of $20 billion in assets under administration (AUA) as the tipping point (the company recently announced $4.3 billion in AUA as of Q1 2019) (reference)

Future Potential

Ultimately, my sense is that a spun-out Wealthsimple IPO eventually be worth a lot, perhaps even more than POW.TO at some point. Obviously the company is losing money right now, and no where even close to an IPO, and there are still many chances that this company could flop. The best analogy that I can think of is when Yahoo bought an early stake in Alibaba (BABA) back in the early 2000s, and there came a point where their stake in BABA was worth more than Yahoo’s core business. I think an investment in POW.TO now is an early investment in WS before it goes public. (reference)

Risks

Expansion problems. In the UK, they reported significant losses and despite increasing users. (reference). The US is also an especially competitive space with lots of similar competitors.
The robo-advising, fintech space is highly competitive now, and the Big Five Banks and other investment/trading companies could easily start offering low-cost or commission free trading
Competitors such as Robinhood could also expand into the Canadian market and take out a huge chunk of WS's userbase

The X Factor

What I find particularly compelling about WS is they have aggressively positioned themselves to be a disruptor in the Canadian financial services industry. This is an area that has traditionally been thought to be a firewall for the Big Five Banks. There is also a generational gap in investing approaches, knowledge, and strategy, and I think WS has positioned itself nicely with first-time investors. My sense is that COVID-19 has also captured a huge amount of young adults with its trading app in the last few months, who will continue to use Wealthsimple products in the future. The average age of its user is around 34. As younger individuals are more comfortable with moving away traditional banking products, I think Wealthsimple’s product offering offers significant advantages over its competitors.

Power Corp is a Good Home

Currently POW.TO is trading at $26.30, down from its 52-week high of $35.15. I see an investment in POW.TO now as fairly low risk, and while WS grows, and there is also the added benefit of a high dividend stock. One of the most confusing things I found about Power Corp was its confusing corporate structure where there were two stocks, Power Financial Corp, and Power Corp of Canada. Fortunately, in Dec 2019, they simplified and consolidated the stocks, which also simplifies the holding structure of WS. I currently see POW.TO has a good stock to hold as well if you're a dividend holder, with a dividend of 6.86%.
Also, POW.TO is patient enough to bide its time and let its investment in WS grow, unlike a VC that might want to sell it quick. For example, the reason why WS went with POW.TO instead of the traditional VC route is explained here:

Katchen has directly addressed the question of why he did not go the traditional VC route recently, saying: If you are a business that requires perhaps decades to achieve the vision you have, well, if you’re not going to be able to generate the kind of returns that venture needs is they will force you to sell yourself, they will force you to go public before you’re ready, or they will just forget about you because you’re going to be a write off. And so Katchen essentially flipped Wealthsimple to Power Financial. Power is well known as a conservative, patient, long-term investor. (https://opmwars.substack.com/p/the-wealthsimple-founders-before)

My belief is there is a huge unrecognized potential in POW.TO's massive ownership stake in WS that will be realized maybe 5-10 years down the road. I didn't really dive into the financials of POW.TO in relation to WS's performance, because the earnings reports do no actually say much about WS. I'm aware of the main criticisms that POW.TO is a mature company and dividend stock that has been trading sideways for many years, and the fact that WS is currently not a profitable company. I am not a professional investor, and this is just my amateur research, so I certainly welcome any comments/criticism of this thesis that people on this subreddit might have! (Please be gentle on me!).

Edit: Thanks to all for the thoughtful comments about POW's size and other holdings relative to WS, and that WS is basically a tiny, tiny portion of POW.TO. Again, I am just an amateur investor, appreciate we can discuss these points on this forum! And fair point is taken that WS's margins are also razor thin right now. I guess I am buying more into the CEO's vision of growth (see this video about his confidence about getting to $1 trillion AUM (!) in the next 8 years), rather than the current financial status or size of the company. Call me delusional if you will :P.
In any case, glad that I was able to flush out these thoughts with the CanadianInvestor community! I do wonder if WS's expansion into a broad-based financial services company (into mortgages, credit lines, and life insurance) might increase their profitability and size over time. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/wealthsimple-targets-canada-s-richest-with-grayhawk-partnership-1.1301993

Below is a rundown of letters G-I of Epstein's contacts. Last year, I wrote about letters A-C. You can check that out here (https://www.reddit.com/conspiracy/comments/cpis3n/a_brief_rundown_of_the_first_ten_pages_of_jeffrey/).

Odd that Robert Hanson, his brother Brook, and his parents would have wanted anything to do with Epstein.

This, however, doesn’t explain why there are two numbers listed under Hirsch’s name that are attributed to Scott Geffert, the General Manager for Advanced Imaging at the MET museum. This could all be innocent or these two could have assisted in Epstein’s hidden camera setup and helped Epstein get high quality pictures of his victims. We can’t be sure.
