Two tears in a bucket
And then another thing
I'm not the one they'll try their luck with
Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude
I got no love for you

I thought Vince's logic behind calling Brock Lesnar a "special attraction" was pretty sound - but if it should apply to anyone else, it should apply to Bray Wyatt. I don't think giving a promo every week helps him at all. Who knows, maybe there are a lot of kids who love seeing it.

It always comes back to the fact that if you're not working, you're not getting paid nearly as much. Sitting at home would do wonders for Bray's mystique but he wouldn't be making as much money. No wrestler wants that.

They could bump Bray's pay up because they're taking him off TV as a storyline choice, but then you'd have a mutiny with other guys wanting the same deal.

So what you're left with is like 10 hours of TV a week to fill and a huge roster of guys who need to be on all the time.

Sounds like lots of space for future triple-crown HOFer Zack Ryder to fill (I assume he'll get into the TNA one at some point, but the Observer and WWE ones are a lock).

It's me. I'm the guy who drops everything any time Bray is on screen. I like him so much I used his promo he cut at a UK raw before Payback as an audition piece. I got a lead role.

I think Bray's problem is that he's a poorly booked 90s Undertaker. He could come out and promo every match if he was booked like the killer Taker was.

You also don't put the strap on "special attractions", IMO. There's a reason Andre never had a proper reign.

Bray is also booked with in mediocre feuds with guys who aren't hot. Things came apart once he hit a Cena storyline we've all seen before and yet another flat Jericho feud. I know there aren't many hype segments as good as Bryan in the cage, but they need something more than a loving chair attack.

Did Big Dave mention how morale is within the WWE locker room? Between Punk's 'I got stiffed out of a $20,000 appearance' and Vince's 'nobody on the current roster can obtain my figurative brass ring' with Cena lauding over them 'You've got to go through me and I'm here till the end JACK', I'd be loving pissed.

I know he said they generally agreed with Punk except on certain points but I haven't read this week's Observer.

I always say that ringtones work the same way wrestling themes do. They need to be distinctive, and you need to identify who it belongs to in 3 seconds or less. My dad has "BOW DOWN TO THE BOW DOWN TO THE KING" as his contact ID. My text tone is used to be the Anonymous RAW GM. (I changed it a couple weeks ago).

I don't even know Vince is calling 30+ year olds Millenials. He's acting like there's just a bunch of 18-19 year olds out there.

I was wondering this, too. I mean, I know that technically speaking you could say anyone born in the 80's to now are Millennials, but I always felt like Millennials are people born from the mid to late 90's until about, well, now.

Millennials are birthdays between 1980 and 2000. The generation after them doesn't even have an accepted name yet. (I still remember when Millennials were Gen Y.)
