Fantastic thread on Squared Circle calling out Rosenberg/Greg. I think I'm done with them. Rosenberg is a shill for the company, Greg is a shill for Rosenberg. I have a Heyman guy tshirt that reads "the voice of the voice of the voiceless" (back when he was with Punk). I'd love to see a Stat Guy Greg shirt that reads "the shill of the shill of the gutless bully".
WWE Head of Public Relations: We've got a real PR problem with this JBL bullying story. What should we do? Vince: Send in the guy who took a shit in Jerry Lawler's crown.
JR said he'll be working around 40 dates for WWE this year. Seems like if that means announcing he'd have to be heavily involved in one of the weekly shows. Could also just mean appearances though or maybe something like Legends or Table for 3, I don't know.
I wonder if the plan is to eventually take the title from Naomi then a long title run until Asuka is ready? Once she gets the title there's no one on that roster who is on her level.
Char/Beck at Mania, Asuka debuts the SD after? Maybe Char/Becky at SS since it sounds like they're going to do another draft later this year. I really wish they'd just do a "superstar shakeup" twice a year and leave it at that. It's enough to get new match ups and storylines going, and then they could do trades at any other point in the year. Whole drafts are just going to rush storylines or drop them completely I fear.
The 10 chant is going mainstream. Wife is watching NCAA women's gymnastics championship. "They're doing the 10 thing that the stupid guy you love does."
Finally got around to looking up the results. Ended up with 130. We should consider doing something like this for a small buy in like the Rumble. Hell even smaller just $5 or something.
Bruce Prichard explaining how the worst thing to do is tell Vince McMahon that someone doesn’t have “it” when he feels otherwise
Lol sounds about right. I actually think Roman does have "it" but that the presentation is ruining "it". You want people to love Roman? Make him the corporate puppet that everyone thinks he is and eventually people will want to cheer for him when they want him to turn.
The same is true about someone he thinks doesn't have it. No matter how much the fans love him Vince will undercut and ruin him just to be proven right.
It boggles the mind that Cesaro is still in a tag team with Sheamus instead of challenging for titles on Smackdown
Listening to this Lance storm podcast...Said 40& of WWE fans were near 50 yrs old... Sounded weird as shite to me
I find that hard to believe. I would buy that 40% were 35 or 40, but 50 seems like a stretch. A lot of those fans from the Hogan years moved on after the Steroid Scandal and New Generation era and didn't come back to the Attitude Era; their kids or younger brothers were those fans.
Also slight spoiler re:Kofi/New Day Spoiler They're supposedly keeping ND off tv until Kofi is back. So a few more weeks I suppose. Them and Rusev should get massive pops when they finally make it to Smackdown.
TIL Cathy Kelley is a Mensa member. What does being a Mensa member offer other than "hey look I'm smart?" Networking? I legit have no idea.
Like Braun being a monster, but not getting too excited because I know he is being built up to just be fed to Roman
Hey guys, you think Gallows and Anderson like cash and championships? Maybe one of the announcers will let us know soon
Also wtf with Ambrose v Miz, lets get fresh match ups by shaking up roster, then immediately have two former SD guys feud
Would make a lot more sense if they had already been in a feud and it was like Dean came to Raw just to follow Miz and beat the shit out of him. Instead, it's a feud from 5 months ago no one cares about. That said, I assume it's just to get the title off Dean so they can have him free for some sort of Sheild reunion angle to try and get Roman some rub...
And like you said, Dean and Miz was a fued like 4-5 months ago. It was even good, but they just dropped it like it never happened to get Cena and Miz together for that proposal at Mania.
Well Balor being back already is a nice surprise. What does he do for four more weeks until the Bray program starts?
