It was a promo before his dark match between Main Event and Smackdown last week

In some ways Vince getting mad at him for doing it at a house show would make more sense. House shows are mostly families and kids, whereas Raw skews a bit older (if I'm remembering correctly).

Those are just viewership numbers, not the actual rating?

A New Day heavy episode raised viewership numbers though.

Russo actually predicted a higher rating and said he liked that the show was at least attempting to do something interesting. He also predicted that for the next 3 or 4 weeks, it'll go back to being boring because they'll feel safe with the slightly better rating this week.

Russo and the wrestling inc podcasts have been really interesting lately.

I will say this about Russo: for all his faults, he can't write a boring show

He can make terrible bullshit but it's never dull

and that's better than current wwe

It seems far less cruel to just cane Dewey rather than have him sit in creative with Vince McMahon.

Get the Wyatts the gently caress away from New Japan

Except for Harper if he keeps the Swamp Gas entrance music and video, and Rowan if he gets his Sheepherder music and vintner genius gimmick back

Harper would be fun and great in NJPW. Hell, he's fun and great in any promotion.

Basically what I'm saying is ditch all the Wyatts except Harper, turn him face but still let him be a weirdo, and let him run loose in the upper midcard.

Did that gimmick ever show up besides like those two vignettes? I don't remember him ever cutting a "I'm cultured and smart" promo or anything.

I mean, you can say what you want about Russo, and most of the poo poo he gets thrown at him is deserved, but when you take the things he says with a large grain of salt, he's still got a decent mind for the business and how McMahon works.

I wouldn't want him writing RAW, but his commentary is interesting.

He does not have a decent mind for the business in any context at all.
