Is it true that with Sandow all they do is tell him what character and segment he's playing each week and then tell him to wing it? Maybe he was able to impress higher ups with his improv. Also I liked Santino, thought he was a good comedy character and a fine wrestler. Glad he's getting out now while he's still healthy.

Remember when Vince McMahon was ECW champion and he would wear that do-rag? Those were good times.

Interesting note from Jericho's podcast, Jericho said the deal for his return was entirely done with Trips and he didn't talk to Vince at all until he got to the arena on Monday.

DeathChicken posted:That time he hit Emma in the arm with it and her arm went dead was the only time that angle was actually funny. There was a match on Superstars a few years ago where he hit both of Zack Ryder's legs and Ryder sold it by going down like he'd just turned into a paraplegic and it ruled.

That's really impressive because I remember when Jericho first came to the WWE in 1999, Triple H hated him and would bury him both on and off TV. I remember one DX segment where they were talking to a group of homeless guys on the street, and Triple H said, "You guys can't work, you're just like Jericho." And this was before they even had any serious interaction on TV if I remember right. It shows that Triple H has come a long way from the shovel that we remember.

TheRationalRedditor posted:Even though it's easy to view Sandow's niche of "cheap costumed heat -> instant squash" comedy segments as an embarrassment, he's so drat good at them, no one else employed can pull them off and he's taking a minimal exhaustion/injury risk in the process that he's actually in a pretty good mid-card billing while collecting presumably the same paycheck.

Valeyard posted:Finally, we are going to see the mid match cash in! The only acceptable outcome for that would be if Dean Ambrose hijacks the briefcase as the referee is handing it over to make it official, so Rollins still technically hasn't cashed it in. I don't care that it would be the second year running of stolen briefcase story, Ambrose needs to get his mitts on that thing.

I want Dean and Seth to beat the crap out of each other in an old school junkyard brawl like this was 1990s WCW and then at the end they realize they've worked out all their problems through violence and mayhem and become best friends again.

I know what you are getting at but Triple H IS the V.P. of Talent Relations now. It isn't 1995 anymore and talent don't come to Vince's mansion and sit around with Vince, Pat, Gerald and Bruce. The days of Vince being all seeing and knowing are long gone. Also there's similar bad blood between Triple H and RVD yet Triple H was the principal person in that deal too.
