Vince would scrap it after 3 weeks.

Here's the reason why Keith Lee was gone for so long...
Caught COVID in January and suffered heart inflammation Had to have tests done to make sure he didn't have a genetic condition Was forbidden from doing any physical activity for weeks until swelling went down He's now trying to get back into shape after a rough 7 months
Fuck, man. Hoping for the best for him.

That's tough. I hope he can make it back. Hell, I'm just glad he's still alive.

Sasha & Bianca have both missed the last two house shows they’ve been promoted on due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
Add that to the Charlotte thing I mentioned in the other post, this is pretty shitty for even WWE. Card subject to change, sure, but way to get off on a good foot getting back on the road.
I decided a few years back if WWE ever came to town I’m not going. They’ll get my money if NXT comes back, but main roster house shows just aren’t worth it anymore.
I’d rather support local indies.

Punk was a bigger draw than Roman is.

Thurston detailed the current state of WWE ownership. “Vince owns 38% of the shares, but because he, Stephanie and Linda own class B shares, their class B shares give them 10 times voting power per share versus everybody else. Yes, including Triple H,” Thurston noted. “ Shane used to be a stockholder; he’s not a stockholder at all anymore. The other major shareholders are financial firms. The biggest by far is Lindsell Train.  |

Nick Khan with Helwani on the length of Raw:
"From my point of view, Raw would benefit from being four hours, so we would get paid more money and SmackDown would be eight hours. But I understand that our creative folks, as amazing as they are, there is only so much great content they can do on a weekly basis. So, I’m good with the ‘three and two (hour) system’."
First off, Nick Khan is an idiot.
Second, what creative folks?
Third, what great content?
I also don’t like that Ariel Helwani, respected sports reporter and journalist, is now a WWE guy apparently.

From a entertainment/attention keeping POV, both shows should be only two hours. Hey, WWE needs their own Meltzer right? |

WWE is smart in this regard. Put Corbin next to a mega-douchebag and it gets automatic sympathy.
I’m not a fan of Corbin the wrestler but I’d be lying if I said him going all in on this gimmick wasn’t entertaining.

I’m reading Becky is going to be heel in this Bianca feud.
That pop at Summerslam. She’s the most over & popular female you’ve had arguably ever and you’re making her heel?
C’mon.

You suffer through those guys to find a Batista, a John Cena, a Roman Reigns, a Goldberg.

I mean, should we start the clock on how long before this Uso gets popped for a DUI?

Hear me out. They combine these elite athletes with a top of the line performance center. This includes everything, including some of the best trainers ever. Doesn't this move actually make a ton of sense? Train 100 John Cena's from scratch and produce five John Cena's. If you hit big on 5 percent of 100 recruits it's a win. Right?

Adam Cole is officially a free agent.
An email memo was sent internally advising those in WWE that Cole was no longer with the company. Cole is now able to sign with any company he chooses, including another deal with WWE.
With Danielson presumably coming in on Sunday at All Out, perhaps Adam Cole shows up to end Arthur Ashe?

Most of those aren't surprising from a Vince standpoint. I am wondering what's wrong with DQ or card.
