Does Vince travel when WWE does tours overseas? I would assume so, but he seems to think of East Asia as "The Mysterious Orient" and that's baffling when wrestling is so popular in Japan and WWE apparently wants to expand into the Chinese market, etc. I would love to know what Vince thought when Cena was practicing his Mandarin

I just imagine him refusing to do business in China until he receives a personal invite into the Forbidden City, and bitching that he doesn't need any drat TEA

Also given his fury over things outside his control, the idea that there is writing in an entirely different alphabet that is read top to bottom and right to left must really piss him off

Apparently WWE is doing tryouts while they're in the UK and the Finnish wrestler Sami Koski / El Excentrico is taking part. I got into FCF (the only promotion here in Finland) a bit too late so I never got to see him wrestle, but I understand he's good. Would be cool to see a countryman getting to the WWE, hope he does well.

Because she was his daughter Vince was actually harder on Stephanie than he would be on a normal person so the fact she still made it to the top is proof she's among one of the best in history

Yeah, it was the reason Shane left the company. He was doing their digital presence but it was becoming increasingly clear to everyone that he had fallen to third place in the family hierarchy behind Steph and HHH.

This never would've happened if only Shane had married Shawn Michaels.

El Excentrico is cool and good. Nothing special on the mic, but pretty skilled in the ring. Mind you I haven't followed his exploits after leaving FCF, but I had the pleasure of seeing him perform plenty of times in Finland.

At the least I hope it goes better than when they had tryouts in Finland and picked up the amazing Häijy Heimo Ukonselkä, whose only TV appearance ended up being a side character in a stupid comedy bit

I take it that's a worked injury? Man, gently caress Vince. I'm talking X-Pac heat way. Like, legit and not a heel way.

Yep. Timing of tweet/article important, after Raw was taped and he could be written away

This was an injury he worked with for a bit and is finally getting taken care of. Better to do it now, instead of wait until after he takes a bunch of Brock suplexes and have to hope nothing gets aggravated

lmao I opened this thread up to this post and my daughter (she's 7) sees it and goes "did he bust out of jail?".

He last recognition of Braun is the Reigns ambulance beat down so she assumed he went to jail.

Then she asked again if he broke out and if they killed him? I said, why would they do that? She goes, he's gonna kill everyone, HE'S GONE BONKERS!.

I died.

Only if it were something unrelated to in ring action.

Otherwise every time there was a beatdown afterwards we nerds would cry "why don't you send him to jail like BRRRAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUN?!?"

Flipping an Ambulance would probably be enough to be "Okay, this time it's jail."
