Rich parts of Connecticut are the kind of places where people actually make distinctions between "old money" and "new money", and Vince is decidedly new money.

Greenwich is especially notorious for this. I constantly hear tales of old money mad at new money that comes in and drains ponds, builds ugly new mansions, kills off wildlife, etc. Then there's new money mad at old money for archaic ordinances and being hideously snooty bastards.

Yes, you can use it in two (or more) locations at the same time technically speaking. Legally they say not to, but they won't do anything for it.

While I've heard success stories of people having MLB TV with 5 people logging in, I've heard of people losing their Network account for as little as two log ins at different iP addresses.

They allow crossover somehow, because I've had a few going at my home at the same time between a PC, IPad and a Roku, but there must be a red flag when significant streaming happens from two IPs at the same time,

The first Raw in early August 1993 when Cornette shows up is great. Heenan's build for him is great and then they have an amazing walk close to each other and hug. The segment is a must watch to me.

They just don't think he's the right guy for their current product. He wasn't so good in the 3 man booth they used in his last run, but he wasn't really in his element. He'd be their best announcer but Vince just isn't into JR.

No, either Vince or Kevin Dunn or both think he's too old and southern and people might think sports entertainment is for inbred hicks or something if they hear him. He's not TV enough.

True. But with the money he makes, he could've had his teeth fixed years ago. Ross can't exactly get surgery to fix the several Bell's Palsy attacks he's suffered that's left his face in various states of paralysis for life.

JR does seem to be a little harder to understand as he gets older. Just from one-off interviews I've seen and some of the later Legends of Wrestling stuff, he definitely doesn't seem to be as understandable as he once was.

That being said, I still loving love him and would be absolutely ecstatic to hear him on TV every week, or even just at the PPVs. He's the voice of pro-wrestling to me; I grew up with Vince, Jesse, Gorilla and The Brain in the 80's, but as a teen and onward in the 90's JR definitely became the voice that was most attached to wrestling. I miss him.

Pretty much, yeah... Cole's bland as hell, JBL can't decide whether or not he's a heel, and Lawler's an awkward third wheel. Part of me wonders if Jerry has PG Era Standards and Practices breathing down his neck, and he's afraid to say anything even remotely like what he used to.

I thought Vince used to respect that. I remember JR saying at least once that Vince would hammer on him to say something, he wouldn't listen and ignore it then later Vince would ask him "Did you ignore me telling you to say X?" And JR would say "Yes" and Vince went "Good, it would have been stupid to say."

Then again, I always heard that Vince considered JR a friend, it's just that Vince is loving insane and horribly abusive to his friends while thinking that he's just ribbing them. Which just goes to show, never be Vince McMahons friend.

Well you can rest assured it isn't, because he's been like this since JR was fired in 2005. Jonathan Coachman became the new heel announcer, and Lawler became a lifeless, boring babyface announcer. He quit without leaving.
