Definitely where a developmental promo belongs, maybe putting her back there was the right idea after all

It's an ok promo for someone new to the business, who is getting their first real big push in NXT

For someone who's as experienced as Becky at cutting promos, this is less "an ok promo" and more "Sufferin' Succotash"

E: I'd forgotten about her guest spot "acting" on Billions, I take it all back

Can you produce even one promo from American TV this year that's "better"?

Becky is obviously a good wrestler, but outside of the initial "the man" stuff, I've always thought she is a cringe promo.

her delivery is almost always unnatural and just sounds like she is playing a character (i guess she has that in common with Seth, or really its just the WWE house style for 95% of the roster). the Billions appearance was also really bad, but everything I've seen from that show is so bad that I can't tell if it's her acting or just par for the course on that show

Becky's promo was absolute rear end, a fact which is not negated by the existence of any other bad promos, so the question is moot

Goons love when the Acclaimed do bad raps burying their opponents yet it's "bad" and "cringe" when Becky does it. Suspicious.

Both clips are super cheesy but this one is way easier to choke down than the Becky one. Nothing in that Becky scene makes sense. Why did they only start cheering when that lady introduced her, like they only realized THEN who she was? But couldn’t recognize her before that?

The HHH one feels more natural and Giamatti comes off like a tiny lil Paul Heyman at times with his delivery. The entrance music into the meeting is so lame, though, and I hope someone made a joke about it in the rest of the scene.

You can count the number of decent raps the Acclaimed have had in the past year on one hand.

Becky should just be coming out and talking about how shes going to rip off peoples arms (even though her finish is a bad rock bottom now), not whatever the gently caress that is. The freakin is contagious I guess

I think now that Vince doesn’t have sole control, he’s going to be forced out/retired in the next few years. I just can’t see TKO/Endeavor keeping him on super long as he’s already 78, still has some lingering investigations going on, and could start clashing with Ari Emanuel as he’s used to being the top dog. I think Vince’s current role is going to be transitional and he eventually winds up with maybe a board seat, but no actual day to day authority over operations.

Nick Khan is a better choice to run the company from a business perspective at this point. Dude is a shark with a ton of entertainment industry connections and doesn’t have the decades of baggage that Vince carries. He’ll cut WWE to the bone and squeeze every penny he can out of it.

Another interesting angle on this whole acquisition is what happens with Saudi Arabia. The Saudis invested $100 million into PFL, which is UFC’s direct competition. Do they keep giving huge money to WWE for the Saudi shows or do they cut that off? If so, that’s a big dent in revenue. The Saudis could also just not care and keep splashing cash around because they can.

Ari has stated that he wants Vince running the wrestling so I don't see him being forced out unless more allegations pop up and they can't ignore it like they did Dana hitting his wife

Now what may be more likely is Vince freaking out cause he isn't the boss and doesn't have full control and ending up leaving that way
