Bring back DDP, he and Goldberg's match did a pretty good rating on that one Nitro that if I remember correctly

Wrestlers don't actually count as employees correct? So this is just purely on the corporate side.

And I assume it's just a free month to Peacock

Yeah, wrestlers are contracted 'independent contractors', so they don't get raises if the company's doing well. The contracts are entirely one-sided though, as the company fires at will but they have no recourse to quit.

Not that that is legal, but nobody since Brock's had the money and desire to take them to court and gently caress them over.

I feel like Goldberg has said recently he doesn’t feel like he has the strength to do the jackhammer anymore but since people only want 2 things from him wwe makes him do it anyway and then we have the thing with undertaker being almost paralyzed and possibly more in the future

goldberg could do the jackhammer if he went to aew. the wrestlers there aren't as huge and big

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

No way The Rock is having a championship run. He is there solely to job and do the 20th coronation of Roman.

Roman has openly talked up Drew so yeah I think that's probably the direction.

Or it might be if Vince ever planned anything in advance and his brain wasn't mush

This Goldberg news makes me even more certain that Kofi beats Lashley, Brock returns and challenges for the title (I no longer think he is going to jump into the MITB but he still might beat up all of the jobbers). Lashley then goes away from the title rematch so that he can fight Goldberg. After he beats Goldberg and Brock beats Kofi again, they face each other for the title.

Last Meltzer heard, they REALLY want The Rock vs. Roman at 'Mania. Like, that's what all their planning is leading to, except that no one's actually bothered to ask The Rock if he actually wants to do it..and he sure as hell isn't going to do a run with the title, so I look forward to Roman vs. (rolls dice) Nikki A.S.H.. Because why not, at least she's under contract.

Sorry there's no Nikki Cross anymore. She's Nikki A.S.H.

Yeah I'm just talking on the assumption that Rock would either laugh at being asked, or that everyone in WWE is so incompetent that they just forget to even ask Rock to do something

I want the Rock to come back and drop out of the ceiling tiles backstage in a full sneaking suit like Sam Fisher.

He then sabotages various elements of the show with EMP darts and nightvision goggles.
