Vince is only going to poo poo up the bigger decisions the day to day booking of the show is probably just gonna be uniform beige.

Understandable, and reasonable. While not the most optimal funny scenario, it does also mean that at any moment a show can get Vince'd and nobody will know until hours before it starts. Trips could book a whole angle and the final match could get cancelled because Vince was in close enough proximity.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Something I thought of about this whole Cody business.

It's all about Cody. All the talk, all the feeling, all the interest is about Cody. And what it means for Cody going forward etc.

Nobody gives half a poo poo about Roman. Yet he's the champion. He's the one who is getting pushed. He is the one who is supposed to carry the company. Etc. But nobody cares. Nobody has anything to say about it.

Not even in a "BOO! We wanted to cheer Cody winning, and you took that away from us. BOO!" kind of way. It is just a shrug. Even in the depths of the LOLCenawins era, it was still all about Cena, and him and his story etc. People cared about Cena. But at Wrestlemania, nobody cares, or even noticed that Roman won, they care that Cody lost.

Which is not good news for thw supposed face of the company, when your champion is so uncharismatic.

Same thing with the Sami feud. No one gave a poo poo about Roman per se. They cared about Sami. Jay would KO would have been the 2nd and 3rd most important people in the feud. Roman was just kinda there.

Vince: gently caress you, man! If you don't like my fuckin' music, start your own fuckin' wrestling company!

Cody: I had a rough...

Vince: I'll rewrite the script three times and have Brock F5 your rear end for 10 minutes straight!

Cody: Come on, man. I had a rough WM main event, and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!

They don’t have GM’s anymore, at least I am pretty sure they don’t. What’s the kayfabe reason for a roster split?

Fake edit: I’m assuming they don’t have one.

Man, how loving good at this is Heyman.

He gets all the credit for the good parts of the Bloodline story (which is pretty much just boring garbage outside of Sami), he goes "hey, what if my guy wins again?", he gets it, and then HHH and Vince get all the flack.

Adam Pierce basically is the GM of both shows.

Probably have him and maybe HHH or Vince do it
