https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMUCQQ-ryQ8&t=81s So do you think this promo was also written by McMahon? Or someone else?

That HAD To be someone else, maybe even Cena himself, just because he called McMahon Yoda and I could just imagine Vince hearing that and being like "I'M NOT SMALL ARHGHAGAHGHGHGHGHGH"

...this would be a perfect opportunity to post vinceflex.jpg but since some people had to ruin everyone else's fun... thanks assholes.

Stevie is 56 and hasn't wrestled in 12 years, and I doubt he's been spending that time doing DDP Yoga.

Oh really? I think I was assuming he'd worked with guys at Booker T's school.

Maybe instead they can go with Booker's other brother, Big.

Edit: From googling to confirm that he's actually alive, apparently Google and Wikipedia disagree on how old he is.

They had a great match with 2 Cool in NXT, who aren't at the 'nostalgia title run' levels of the NAO/Dudleys, so I'd see them as way more likely to be putting the Ascension over given their current push.
Wait, really? Scotty 2 Hotty was one of my favorite guys in the Attitude Era (shut up, I was weird) and last I heard he was working at an insurance company. Was this just a one-off or is he back on the indies?

After watching The Ascension's promo on Main Event I'm convinced they're bringing back an older team for them to fight, similar to the NAO's run up to Wrestlemania last year.

Oh, you didn't know?



EDIT: pshhahahaha you already mentioned NAO in your post, I dunno why I misread that.

A. It was a two-off for Old School Raw and one other thing, I don't remember what the other thing was but I remember him showing up twice. (Double edit: it was NXT, dude just said that, goddamn I'm just not awake today.)
B. He's a fireman, dude.

I was pretty impressed at Booker after I watched Raw which is weird because I thought he was pretty bad during his time on Smackdown. He's no JR but he always puts over meaningless matches in a 'could make them a candidate for X championship' sort of way which is soo much better than JBL and Cole arguing over some petty poo poo. On the other hand, JBL was also pretty decent when he first started so I'm not sure if he won't go down the same road.

WWE Announcing is basically so incompetent that, yes, someone actually calling action and trying to get something over is a great feat.

I've been watching the UK WWE Network (feels good man) and holy lol The Rock was calling him Big Slow in 1998.

Also Ryder and Cesaro are super likable on Countdown. WWE becoming tightly scripted is the worst thing to ever happen to it (even moreso than Cena in m opinion). Love that story Jake the Snake told of someone bringing him a script before a taping. He laughed and threw it away immediately.
