They genuinely believe that a different audience watches Smackdown from the one that watches Raw so probably not.

Also everyone in the WWE that's making GBS threads on Punk should read this and take it to heart.



Are you knocking the Fockers?

I totally agree with this. Austin says it every now and then on his show, if you wanna be a top guy you have to rattle your cage. Don't be the guy who is just happy to be there because you won't be in the company for very long.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I liked someones suggestion in the thread to call him Erick the Red. But you gotta know some dude pitched that and then Dunn or Vince went "Who's that? nobody is going to recognize that."

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I guess it'll lead to a fun court case down the line. "This hearing is to determine whether brand confusion exists between Erick Rowan and chewing gum."

Yeah this. They take a phrase like "every top guy on the roster that works a full schedule has a litany of injuries" and think that's a thing actually worth defending.

Well yeah, they're wrestlers. They're in one of the most carney, hokey businesses in the world, Not one of them stops and thinks and goes "Maybe that's a BAD thing" it just IS.

They should pair him up with R Truth as his sommelier and have segments with Truth just rambling for twenty minutes about how amazing Rowan's wine is and have Rowan just stand in the back with a furious expression on his face, saying nothing.
