It lands right on him lmao, closest I’ve come to feeling sorry for him.


‘The comedy rubber chicken was meant for Roman but it hit Cody instead’ somehow feels like the perfect metaphor

He should have just turned heel

It’s also kinda immaterial in terms of getting money out of the deal; you can get lines of credit secured against investments. Vince is gonna get paid no matter what.

ending should have involved The Fiend imo, who would destroy all the bloodline but then Cody as well. Roman then forms the Puppetline

Didn't last year's WM follow the same formula? I seem to recall everyone being happy with how night one went and then night two was being brought right back to reality with an unpleasantly predictable ending.

I think the funniest part about how that match ended last night was the weak rear end chest clothesline (sorry, SAMOAN SPIKE?) being the last nail in the coffin so to speak. Like it wasn't even a cool or impactful move that did cody in it was some jabroni punching Cody once in the corner that was the kill shot after he kicked out of a handful of finishers. They coulda set up some stupid bump at least to make it look good but ah well just go give em a little boop on the chest that should be enough.

I'm just wondering, with the new company being a publicly traded one, if this means Endeavor's (or whatever the new company's name is) board of directors can just fire Vince if he gets involved in another scandal with company money

I obtained a copy of Night 2 and watched the Intercontinental Title match. Maybe it hit better when you saw it raw without any preset expectations, but I thought it was ... OK? Decent match, but people WAY oversold it, and the chop fest aspect, and so did the commentators who were losing their minds at Sheamus' chest being kinda red. If this is what passes for a "bloodbath" in the WWE, then loving lol the product's been neutered.

Also the presentation was hilariously bad. Constant embarrassing AR poo poo, cutting away from 2/3 entrances to show the same loving Mike's Harder Lemonade ad. The camera work is still pure poo poo, the commentary wasn't great either.

E: and double lol at Vince only being back to sell the company, not get involved in any way honest, why would he, he said he wouldn't, no evidence he'd lie.

Mayeb it's just a bad memory and bias to the company but I want to say all since they changed to 2 nights they have all been like that.
One night is great and the other just isn't.

I'll have to look back see what the cards all were and ratings for them.

Yeah. Watching and posting with everyone helped mitigate it, but I could not see myself watching another WWE PPV this year with how bad the presentation still is. You also got to skip it, but there was actually 19 minutes of wait between the women's tag team 4way and the intercontinental 3way. And like half an hour after the cage match before the C*dyjob. Insane. (Though the latter got me enough time to come up and make this edit before the main event)


gently caress's sake, Edge speared Finn into a stair, and the impact was covered literally by a shot of the ref's rear end.

I'm sure Cody will be just fine after he gets attacked by Bray Wyatt on Raw tonight and has 3 months of storylines where he has to "face his demons" or whatever and that rabbit handpuppet is dressed up like one of the Young Bucks.
