Now that I think about it, Nia's role seems to be "minor roadblock on the path to facing Alexa for the title", and that's about it.

Shane makes 2 mill as a performer so they definitely think of him as a main event talent.

Yeah but most of that money goes straight back into the company when Vince offers to sell Shane some magic beans.

Beat them up, make them pee their pants, cover them in beer, blow up their car, etc, etc. If they just re-ran the Austin/Vince feud, verbatim, with Stephanie and Becky it would be a million times better than any garbage McMahon storyline in the last 15 years

Yeah, I think that's what Shane and Steph (and HHH) keep missing is that Vince loving lost. He'd do this big thing about he's the boss and go to hell Austin and Austin would win every time.

That one Raw where Austin won control of the WWF and just hosed off while drinking beer at the Stamford HQ is the best thing ever.

The best era like that is when they allowed the Wrestlers to dial themselves up, build proper stars, and did fun whacky stuff like that and Austin vs Booker T and poo poo and Kresky was writing cause he understood poo poo.

Brock broke them.

You guys do know Vince is still the one loving booking everything, right?

If he wanted Steph, Shane and HHH to go out and get their asses kicked every week, they absolutely would. This isn't some "oh, man, Vince really got what it meant to be a heel, but those kids of his, nope, don't get it." It's "Vince doesn't want anybody to become bigger than his horrible family because when they do, they inevitably gently caress off to Hollywood."

If you don't think public outcry combined with the threat of a lawsuit won't help get her a job for life you aren't paying attention to WWE history.

It's going to be hard to get public outcry against WWE for this when the people who would complain loudest are the ones who were furious last year at things like dating Del Rio possibly ruining Paige's WWE career.

Well she threw a drink over him after he said "I hope your uncle dies". Then he followed her through an airport while she screamed getting away from him.

She's the only one who has done anything that constitutes a crime but hard to say she is the abusive one in that.

I'm happy that Elias is starting to get over. It's much like Braun, as in we all hated the gimmick initially but through sheer stubbornness on the WWE's part and they both dove right into the role, it's become gold.

Braun started getting really over when he started murdering Roman every week so my suggestion is to have Roman take a guitar shot every week for, let's say, six months.

Hold on, we don't want one guy getting too over here, better spread some of those guitar shots out. Have Elias do about 50, then have Braun come in for about 10 or 15, then have Brock do about 5, have the rest of the roster do 50 or 60 each, then have Bayley do about a thousand.

Y'know what, better have Roman do a couple hundred himself.
