    He was going to Nitro the next day he didn’t really have the choice not to lose at home at that point

    His contract was up that night, he could have said that he’d be on raw the next night and give up the belt but there was nothing sLegally binding saying he couldn’t instead go to Nitro the next night with the belt and drop it in the trash like whats her name

    Guys... Vince owns the company and you work for him. If he wanted the bell to ring and HBK instantly hit the super kick 1-2-3 and it’s over that’s what is done.

    I never understood those who take Brett’s side or say Vince should’ve done better. This isn’t real it’s a work. You are a glorified stunt man. Do the job and stfu.

    Same people bitching about Sasha are defenders of Brett. Can’t make that shit up.

    Exactly. For the people saying Bret would have dropped it the next night in Raw, he clearly said he was going to forfeit the title the next night on Raw which does nothing for the belt or the next guy you are worried about getting over for your company. On your way out, you put the next guy over on your way out. It’s the way it’s always been.

    Having a 73 year old man leading "creative" is not a wise decision... Doesn't matter who he hires or fires the issue is Vince.

    NXT is a wide spread success and is beloved. People in the industry buzz about it and yet Vince still doesn't trust HHH to take his place.

    Sadly I don't belive the networks, XFL or anything for that matter will have Vince step down.

    It wouldn't surprise me. Dude obviously has a love for wrestling but hates that he's so famous from it (or probably just hates being famous in general).

    People on the twitter machine have found a picture of him from the same day of the event. He’s wearing the same hoodie, pants and shoes as the masked wrestler who appears in the video.

    It’s either Punk or El Generico.

    Yeah, they haven’t had much of a build, but that was Dustin’s best promo in a long time.

    I’m at least intrigued

    so on youtube WWE's put up some video titled something along the lines of "Can the Shield convince Dean to stay," and now on the network I just saw an ad for a Dean Ambrose Chronicle episode tonight, that guy's not going anywhere

    just wouldn't have thought they'd go through all this trouble for little ole Dean, guess they really don't want that stigma of losing a guy to the pissant company though

    hope he is AEW bound

    I wouldn't be surprised if Vince offered him a metric fuck ton of money tonight as a final shot at keeping him.

    Vince has enough cash to play with he can afford to keep people on the roster with no intention of using them just to keep them from going to AEW

    Kind of surprised they kept the special going when he started talking about giving everyone the middle finger and doing your own thing if you didnt like what people were doing. Makes it feel like a work in that sense. If he is gone, Renee has to be moving to the new Fox show, right?
