So a company with a dictatorial owner and 150 writers has to outsource ideas because they can't come up with anything?

That has to be a typo on the draft, right? Draft usually pops a rating for one show before going back in the shitter. Dragging it out a full month will essentially kill that concept (it’s already dead to me, I’m not watching regardless). VINTAGE WWE! As long as they have actors in the “board room” “strategizing” picks during this. |

Bayley out 9 months with an undisclosed injury. Yikes. Hope she heals up and gets better. For how repetitive and shitty the product is been (RAW to me has been unwatchable the entire pandemic), Bayley has been a consistent MVP character wise. Not all her segments are home runs, but she’s been one of the highlights to an otherwise low time in the company. Shame she’ll be out now that fans are returning. |

The MVP has been Bayley because more than some of her segments have been home runs.
That summarizes what it took for me to stop watching altogether.

They’ll get their return to crowds bump then shit the bed.
Then get their Summerslam build then shit the bed
They’ll need a gimmick to win the crowd back after their shit bed in September/October.

Haven't watched a second of their product across any and all platforms for like a year and a half now.
Other than the Kid thing where he watched 6 minutes worth of badness instead of the 7 seconds he was supposed to watch.
Still tickles me.
GO BUCKS!!

What in the hell happened to Keith Lee?
I'm watching NXT and Bronson Reed flattened Cole and it made me think about Lee.
Wasn't he sick or something a while ago?
He's not like dying sick, is he?

I've been bitching about this since 2013.
The reliance on old stars to pop a number ingrains into the audience that the every week guys aren't stars.
Remember when the Wyatts were gonna get a rub from being made to look like weak fools by the legends at Maine? How did that work out?
WWE has actually been good about using their guys during the pandemic. And now the first chance they get, they go right back to bringing in Goldberg.

I still think there's a place for returning stars but WWE hasn't found that place in a long time.

Nash's Broken Skull Sessions is on the Network. I'm 15 minutes in and I already love it. Say what you want about Nash, but I could hear him tell stories for hours.
Him & Austin are literally finishing each others road stories from the early 90s. Austin finishes a beer, crunches the can and whips it behind his own head without missing a beat in the story.

Did it come out on Sunday?
Or was it just randomly released today?

I just saw a clip on Twitter, looked at Peacock and it was there.
Nice of WWE to promote this. And when they did, they delayed it.

There wasn't too much that we didn't know. Just bits and pieces. But it's a solid hour/20 to kill. Nash is one of Austin's closest friends in the business, so it was a good talk.
Nash saying he was happy in TNA because he drove 75 miles from his house to the show, then after you go to the Double Tree, have a few burgers, salad, wine and get paid $15,000. And he got to wrestle with grey hair, which Vince would never let him do.

Was there any discussion of WCW? Because I can't deal with Nash talking about WCW. The revisionist history and the lies become too much to stomach. Nash becomes Captain Carny when WCW is brought up.

Of course there was. They talk Master Blasters, Oz, Vinnie Vegas, then the NWO, Goldberg & him as the booker.
This might be a solid 20 minute watch for Cairo, haha. |

WWE is reportedly interested in possibly bringing back Braun.
You all know my thoughts on Braun. He fits way better in WWE than elsewhere.
