Pretty sure Nash himself has said he hated being face, too. He definitely said it on TV on his way out in a sorta shooty way.

What an odd thing for Dave to definitively refute. How can Dave prove that idea didn't cross Bruce's mind at the time? Bruce constantly lies and for some reason this is where Dave pipes up?

The article and Bruce's statements indicate it as a years long preference by multiple figures within the company. Dave's gonna Dave, but this is a rather bald-faced lie.

Variety is nice, especially since Bryan has a couple kids now and they severely impact his ability to just do lengthy shows with Dave. Having Jim, Garrett and even Sempervive around to share the load is good.

I still really like Bryan and Vinny and Craig, but if Dave was always paired with Jim instead of Bryan that would be preferable imo.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Sure sounds a lot like Vince is trying to make PPVs a thing again considering they're now being mentioned before the network. Which speaks to Dave's theory that the split between VInce and the people he fired was that they were network-above-all people. Or at least that's how his brain has framed it.

I thought it was that they were pushing hard for maximizing profit over preventing the rise of competition with all these talent contracts and NXT expansion and the like.

I was listening to a wrestling podcast (Smart Wrestling Fan) today where they said they weren't going to do Wrestlemania match predictions because there was no guarantee that any of the matches being built up would actually be on the card.

wwe is likely trying to cover up one of their wrestlers having coronavirus so they dont have to scrap the show and are continuing to false advertise roman reigns. i guarantee you if anyone lower on the card tried to stay home they would be immediately buried and punished by the company for doing so.

I'm pretty sure given it's all taped now that they're going to show all the matches they're promoting, but if anyone would find a way to do card subject to change on a taped show WWE would be the company.

I think yesterday was when they actually announced him being out (despite it being known since last Wednesday I believe) so yeah. Though according to Dave the PPV listings have no matches listed which is loving wild for being less than a week out on a taped show.

I love the brokebrains on Twitter trying to defend this like "durrrrrr gotta wait until Friday when they do an angle to get him off the card" when Roman himself already confirmed that he pulled out.

Like brother this isn't even a kayfabe thing, they're straight-up lying by advertising a match everyone knows isn't happening.

I mean I get the guy absolutely loves cheapening everything about it but empty arena mania at the Performance Center sounds kinda awful. Empty arena shows are washed up and over exposed as it is.
