Shane should retire as the greatest wrestler who ever lived and 20 years later no one should be asking, "Whatever happened to Shane McMahon?"

For those that didn't watch SD last night, Roman/Murphy was a real good match

I find it absolutely hysterical how for a looooong time smarks believed Shane leaving is what made the show they liked when they were 11 go bad only to be proven oh so very wrong when he came back and is by far the worst McMahon we have to deal with.

Didn't Shane come back solely as a performer? Before he left to go do his own things, he was instrumental in getting certain celebrities involved with big shows, like Floyd Mayweather, IIRC.

But yeah, e-fucking-NUFF- Do something else besides having EVIL MCMAHON FAMILY MEMBER DOING EVIL THINGS. It's so stale.

If you want WWE 2K20, the parceling out of content has begun. Bray Wyatt is a pre-order bonus, but only if you order the collector's edition or deluxe version. Extra content packs are $15.

The horror theme pack seems interesting.

So that'd mean Vince would be hands on with 4 hours of WWE TV every week since Raw is said to be Heyman's thing now mainly, and then the XFL too whenever the hell that starts.

Raw and SD show up on Hulu the next day, but Raw is edited down to 90 minutes and they pretty much always cut the best match or two of the night in favor of promo parades, talk show segments, and other dumb shit.

nachobro · « **Reply #6929 on:** August 20, 2019, 11:54:43 AM »

last night's raw was all pretty good so i wonder what they cut. i'd say joe/cesaro but that was a KOTR match

also the press release on NXT says it will still be at Full Sail

Just from looking at the results of last night's RAW without having watched it yet, I'd bet on the New Day/Revival match being cut, and probably the women's tag match too, along with a bunch of backstage stuff, maybe including the Elias/Truth segment. If the Revival are on the show and aren't in a title match, 95% of the time they get cut from the Hulu replay

Was that the show where they constantly cut to Austin in a bar the whole time drinking and not being able to decide who he wanted to work with and then swooped in (probably driving drunk since they showed him downing a whole case of beer) at the last minute or was that the Invasion PPV?

bork · « **Reply #6934 on:** August 20, 2019, 04:38:29 PM »

I like the main event line-up that finished up the Invasion storyline:

Quote

Team WWF (Chris Jericho, Big Show, Kane, The Rock and The Undertaker) defeated The Alliance (Booker T, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin)

Out of all those guys, only two of them -Booker and RVD- were brought in post-WCW buyout.

I will never understand why they didn't let this storyline slowly build and get the bigger names to come in as their old contracts expired. If they had delayed this by like two years, they could have had Hogan, Nash, Hall, Flair, etc. on the Alliance side.

nachobro · « **Reply #6935 on:** August 20, 2019, 05:57:05 PM »

Sorta sounds like the original plan with Thunder. Supposedly the NWO was gonna take over Nitro and Thunder would be a WCW show but no one thought to check what the network execs thought who then nixed the whole thing

nachobro · « **Reply #6936 on:** August 20, 2019, 06:10:38 PM »

ya bischoff has talked about it a bit on his pod. basically said it was a mandate directly from ted to have a second show but they got zero extra hands or budget so they just said fuck it and having to do anything on it was essentially a punishment

sidenote i like that the house ads on the network for thunder archives really just shit all over the show and play circus music while showing clips

Chris Jericho has been such a lame asshole for so long it's almost impossible to remember there was a time when he was cool and entertaining. However that time was about 20 years ago.

I liked the bit where he returned to WWE, incited the crowd for 10 straight minutes without saying anything, and then left. That was amusing. Oh, and when he called Tom Phillips "Tim." I think he can still be entertaining.

Whatever they paid him to be on The D-List Celebrities' Lame Rap Battle Shizzow, it wasn't enough.

Jericho did that two weeks in a row, IIRC. Unless it was on SD too.

Quote

Another story going around backstage as it pertains to NXT’s future is that it will continue along its same path with Triple H heading up the brand and no real direct involvement from either Vince McMahon or Kevin Dunn. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that this will probably be the case as long as ratings are good and that while ultimately the company is his and he will give suggestions here and there, he will most likely remain “hands off” due to time constraints he already has that will get worse when the XFL launches next year. It was cautioned, however, that if AEW begins winning the “ratings war”, Vince wouldn’t hesitate to get more involved not just creatively, but perhaps by using more main roster stars on NXT or even moving NXT out of Full Sail University

Still expecting Vince to get involved.
