Just because WWE does something badly it doesn't mean that the concept itself is bad. And as you note even WWE has managed to get it right at least once.

Neither Tony or Don are doing authority figure poo poo. Like Don made a main event, yes, but it was after a beat down and made sense to be made. Tony is specifically, textually not flexing his authority figure muscles there, he's just throwing shade at a guy who pissed him off in an amazing way.

I know there are obviously varying levels of rabbit holes and kool-aid going on, but I really struggle to imagine the kind of person who watches Vince McMahon barely get through an unopposed promo with no story or angle or talent to get over where all he had to do was say 'the Undertaker was cool' and thinks making him the central onscreen story figure on weekly television again is a good idea.

The way IMPACT has maneuvered Kahn into taking the boastful heel position and themselves being the underdog face is really something.

Taking slings and arrows like Kahn is dishing out isn't easy on ones business ego, but it proves they see the big picture long term benefits.

Oh my God that's right it was just after that atrocious Money in the Bank PPV where they had them go to Titan Tower and it was incredibly underwhelming and we discovered the lift runs slower than people can go up stairs (including pauses to fight on the way!).

Becky announced her pregnancy and vacated the belt in May, after a month or so of "mysteriously" not wrestling but still appearing.

Seth stuck around till the bitter end, I think Becky gave birth like 2 weeks after he finally went on leave.

Yeah, they retconned the women's MITB match to be for the title instead of the briefcase, so Asuka "won" it without beating anyone and Becky gave it up without getting pinned. Hell of a rub after Becky held that thing for like 4,000 days.

Benne fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Dec 17, 2020

And Asuka has been in one meaningful title feud in the 7 months since, and is almost certainly losing it to Charlotte as soon as she returns

Honestly, given WWE’s lack of COVID protocols, it’s probably safer to be pregnant and off the road than going to DA THUNDERDOME every week
