That fits right with what Vince...I mean Cena was saying last night on the podcast. "The crowd wanted someone new. So here's Roman Reigns, a new guy who's pretty good, and they poo poo'd him too. What do you crazy people want, I'm bewildered."

"What do you people want?"
"DANIEL BRYAN (clap clap clap clap clap)"
"Seriously, tell me, I don't understand."
(thunderous)"DANIEL BRYAN (clap clap clap clap clap)"
"Just tell me what you want!!"

It was expertly crafted to make a total idiot think he was hardballing him with the Five Moves of Doom and When Will You Turn Heel poo poo that Cena has had canned answers to for years.

I will say this - I have to give props to Cena for not bringing up the other half of that heel turn answer. I forget who the interviewee was, but on Jericho's podcast a few weeks ago, they said that Cena spent all this money on gear for this heel turn that never happened, so when those plans were nixed, he used that money (out of his pocket) to set up a fund for NXT wrestlers to use when they needed new gear. Cena's a good dude.

Levi Stadium's capacity is just under 70,000, IIRC, with a few more thousand on the floor for things like WM; that's likely evened out by the amount of space they need to curtain off for production. The 76k number Stephanie rattled off can't be real, but it's probably not that far off from the actual number of tickets sold. Hell, they could even probably get away with including staff and talent in the attendance figure. These numbers are always rounded up and fudged.

Having a little insight into how a few UK stadiums and arenas have come up with their figures in the past, I'd hazard a guess that WM got something like 73k paid and just shifted the 3 up to a 6.

The maximum they could fit into the stadium was just under 70,000. WWE tarps off a big section of seats for the stage, more than they can sell on the floor. There were a few unsold tickets for the show too so the real number is probably around 66,000.

I guess the Chyna thing isn't as big of a deal to me because I'm surprised that's what ticked off Vince instead of everything else that was asked, including the brass ring questions and the Cesaro questions.

Also the new Tough Enough will debut there on June 23rd.

Earlier this year, USA announced the renewal of WWE Tough Enough, premiering Tuesday, June 23 at 8/7c. The reimagined series will feature an all-new format with live elements and more fan participation than ever before. In addition, WWE recently unveiled a new brand campaign “For The Hero In All of Us,” that engages consumers through #MyHeroIs, inviting fans to name their favorite WWE Superstars and share personal and inspirational stories of heroism.

Yes the New Day gets like 20 minutes for a slow burn heel turn that will be dropped in a month and no sir we do not have time for a Daniel Bryan match to actually build his match with Barrett at ER.

Yo can we not complain about the black folks on the show getting to do something about their wack rear end gimmick? That's about as good as it gets because God forbid one of them ever competes for a title despite Xavier having the look of a good contender. Maybe not so much the wrestling ability though :/

But that's not stopping Reigns :v:

Barrett explained in some interview a few months back, there are at least three copies of every belt: an absolutely pristine one for studio photos and the like; one or two media appearance, travel and standard TV taping belts which look good but can risk the occasional small knock; and a ratty house show and stunt belt for when someone needs to be hit with it, it's going to get flung around, or it is otherwise there for function rather than appearances.

Which version is the belt John Cena haphazardly chucks into the ring during his entrance whenever he's champ?

Except the guys who were missing are advertised for smackdown, it could be a move to more of a soft brand split, making sure guys who are main eventing smackdown are exclusive to that show that week to improve smackdown ratings, but that's probably wishful thinking and they just weren't a priority for tv time.

While perhaps I'm saying this because I barely watch raw nowadays and it doesn't affect me, maybe giving three guys we all like but who all have scary-ish health issues a rest could be looked at as a good thing? I guess Dean technically is fine as far as we know but he's been working brutal matches for a while and Daniel and Dolph could both always use a break.

On a related note those three should make a team called 3D.
