Steve Austin stunned Vince 10,000 times

vince flat out said it's because austin makes him money though

all roman does is cry, get booed, and then bring a loaded gun (his fist) to work

with any luck he'll get kayfabe fired and just gently caress poo poo up backstage like Austin or Matt Hardy

with any luck they'll realize that they should play to his, you know, strengths

All the matches had the right finish. I would have preferred Owens win but I'm just a mark for him and the booking is fine.

Yeah, but that was different when they had competition so you had an excuse for not firing a guy because "they'd go to the competition."

I thought that was dumb.

The only problem is the Authority has no reason at all to not just fire roman and punish his friends, they have too much kayfabe power over Roman and company. Not much reason for a rematch at the rumble either, but who the gently caress would challenge for it otherwise?

Anime is Bad.
Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

yknow if they're intent on keeping him in his shield gear just make him go full urban guerilla and launch random, mostly unprovoked attacks on people. Just hop a barrier mid promo snap a motherfucker in half and bolt from security.

They were really mild about the tirade until the table spot which signifies to me that the reaction was more anti-Hunter than pro-Roman, which is going to make it harder and more delicate to build off of this, but we'll see.

I bet they'd just do it at Rumble or Fastlane or something, they want Reigns to have the belt by or at Mania
