I thought Stephanie McMahon hated Corino when he was a writer there?

....don't think he wrote for WWE. Other than a cup of coffee in their lightweight division doing jobs, he's not been employed by WWE. He tried out to be a colour guy years ago but they said no because of the scar tissue on his head from all the blood he shed in ECW.

That said, good for Steve. He understands wrestling psychology really well, so this is a good pickup for WWE. Fun fact: At one point, there was a plan in the works for Corino to wrestle HHH at an ECW PPV as a favour/thank you to Heyman for something he'd done. THAT would have been interesting.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Corino did a writing audition for WWE the day after he flunked his in ring tryout because he got bigger cheers than the guy he was working and was supposed to be a heel.

His writing audition didn't go well because he didn't fully script his promo's doing bullet points instead. I don't know that Steph hated him but there was a guy who patronisingly told him that when he was defending having "Punk cuts promo for the ppv" by saying you should trust the good talkers like Punk and Flair to just do their thing that "I write the words that go in Ric Flairs* mouth."

*or some other great talker I forget which.

It doesn't matter. This is just another old timer who gets to collect a check hanging out at performance center.

Meanwhile ROH is on a role with signings when people have been claiming there will be a mass exodus. So far you got Punishment Martinez, Scrull, Ospreay and now The Young Bucks who have signed on with ROH.

People are acting like WWE is sticking to ROH in a big way by having Corino in a guest trainer and then having him do a website inter view. Don't these people ever think that Corino is not only still under contract to ROH and had to get permission to do all this, but that ROH clearly gave him the Okay? Or ever think that Corino is playing the game and knows how to play leverage games with ROH, which is what so many others wrestlers in the company do? The Bucks, Lethal, Fish and O'Reilly play this same game every year and people always fall for it thinking this will be the time they jump to WWE.

It's juse a bunch of these WWE fans who always need to make other companies into their targets cause they are threatened. TNA has been a non-factor and in shambles for a long time so lets now turn our attention to ROH and go overboard with reporting these stories. They always act like every single wrestler in the world is signing with WWE when the company can't book anybody except for these part timers.

WWE downgrading the look and quality of their product/roster is one of the bigger stories of year for me. Moreso the bottom half of the roster than the top obviously. Kinda reminds me of the difference between the WWF 1992 roster and the WWF 1993 roster. There's a lot more people who look minor league on the roster now
I'm curious, who do you see as a "downgrade" in WWE from 2015 to 2016?

Daniel Bryan retired (but barely wrestled in 2015) and the main roster people who left so far have been Hornswoggle, Alex Riley, El Torito, Santino, Wade Barrett, Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Adam Rose, Ryback, ADR, and the Dudley Boyz, technically? Are there that many people on the roster now that look more minor league than El Torito or the Social Outcasts?

I can see the argument for Barrett, Rhodes, ADR, Ryback, and I guess Sandow being "losses" to the quality of the roster, though by and large none of them were being used particularly well in 2016 (or 2015). Meanwhile in 2016 they signed AJ Styles (and a bunch of other people but honestly AJ probably makes up for the screen time and entertainment quality of all of the 'losses' combined)

I guess you could argue that they've effectively "lost" Cena and HHH as neither have been on TV much in 2016, and they lost Finn to injury and etc. but that doesn't make sense as a "downgrade".

People like Ellsworth, Headbangers, Rhyno, Spirit Squad etc being on TV. Along with pretty low rent, vanilla guys in the Crusierweight division specifically the likes of Nese and Gulak.

You might think I am being overly harsh here or there but do you really think any of those besides the novelty of Ellsworth would catch the eye of casual fans or "Joe Six Pack".

Ellesworth is the only one that's on a significant amount of tv, and the cruiserweights probably won't be a problem much longer.
