Another Jey vs Roman match? Didn't they already milk Jey's grossly one sided sympathetic beatdown? Like that card is dealt, it's been played, you can't shuffle it back in.

Counterpoint: HEEEEAAAAT

As is wont to happen when you have a story's climax like 3 weeks into it.
Speaking of tribal chief and Samoans; Vince's relationship with them is so weird. Like, still racist ('a generation ago you'd have a bone in your nose pal') but seemingly favored in terms of professional advancement.

Similar to college football - still racist but they can make you a lot of money and that rules all.

I guess AJ told Vince he's not handing over his Twitch.

I am taking it that Takeover was super exciting based on a 3 page thread and absolutely no discussion of it in the general thread...how the mighty have fallen.

KOR/Balor was a legitimately great match at least.

To me it's just funny they saw AEW re-brand their weekly show "Bash at the Beach" and are doing the exact same thing.

If Renee was a wrestler you know drat well Vince would've done the exact same thing to her

I think Renee is also a Brock case in that Vince knew she could've gone any number of other places in a heartbeat.

The amount of loving camera cuts in a scene of three guys looking sad is beyond parody.

Big E is either the greatest actor or he was legit processing that as it happened and fighting back a lot of frustration.

Also, I'd like to think New Day are immune to WWE's lies. Especially Xavier now that WWE's undone literally all the work he's done for friends getting them set up on Twitch, YouTube, etc.

Has Austin been on Twitch this weekend and has there been any commentary on the draft?

I thought you meant Stone Cold and honestly I would watch the poo poo out of that

Dammit I even had this post as Xavier, then Woods, then Austin Creed.

But Stone Cold on Twitch *would* be amazing. "This guy's the imposter and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!" Who's gonna argue with that?

"Hell in a Cell Match with No Finish" is a pretty good indictment of modern day WWE, ain't it

They did at least a few more watch-alongs after X-Pac poo poo all over the DQ finish, right? Or did that kill it right there?

Everything you need to know about WWE is the culture that gets talked about where everyone tries to tear you down or put down how your gimmick won't work (referring to the conversation on this week's New Day Podcast). To the point where, on the flip side, former WWE guys speak glowingly of AEW and how everyone is building each other up and trying to make money.

I appreciate the context

I listened to the song and I don't understand what portion they even used for an intro, none of it really lends itself well for a theme song and I dont want to watch the show to find out

I closed the thread right before your post to watch the video and came to post this exact same question.

Although a song about mental illness is fitting for a Raw theme.

Adding to the Konnor, Mox, and Viking Experience/Raiders examples is a common theme of antagonism and setting people up to fail called out on both New Day and Talk N Shop podcasts. WWE culture is completely hosed and it's 100% Vince's fault.

Completely unrelated to the very bad looking episode of Raw...

So Seth is still doing the Monday Night Messiah gimmick on Smackdown, right? Despite not being on Monday Night and and no longer having any disciples? Does he still use the lovely music?

lol I'm glad Riddle is getting WWE'd. I want the sex pest to be made into an absolute joke if they won't fire him.

I also like that the Trump campaign doesn't know wrestling is fake.

I see what you did there.


First thing I thought of too. Proving you don't have to be smart to get rich in America. You're either born into it, you're a massive rear end in a top hat, or both.

WWE has to be taking a cut from UUDD and they still shut him down

Isn't UUDD already set up like the ideal WWE model though? They're getting their cut and have at least some stretch of creative control since they cut released names out of the Battle of the Brands series.
