I laughed out loud. This comment needs more ups, hahahaha.

Those flying fists of fury give Pop O Mac air time next week - should be interesting, though I'd rather see Rick Flair.

Is Shane/Owens going for Hell in a Cell? Is that a good idea, they would probably have to top the stunt from his last one, which I have no interest in.

It looks like they are going to use this angle to write Shane off of TV, perhaps indefinitely. So I think Hell in a Cell is the perfect PPV to do it. Owens can get a big win over Shane and get some real heat for destroying him. And despite what people say, beating Shane is a big deal in the WWE. Or rather, facing him at all is the big deal. It signifies that the company is behind you. You don't get a match with Shane unless they think you're someone worth pushing.

Shane & Blackman were buddies though.

This Shane/Owens thing is kinda like the AJ/Shane thing:

Hardcore fans are divided over it...

To me it signifies that WWE has total faith in Owens

Should he be the SD Champ? Maybe, but you can't run him on top as champ forever so you cycle him in and out with AJ, Orton and [insert random jobber here]

Yup. He's been in high profile feuds with Rollins, Reigns, Jericho, Styles, and now Shane within the past year. Pretty clear they see him as one of their best workers and a reliable heel foil. Which makes sense. Dude has missed no time since he first appeared in NXT and has consistently been a source of decent to great matches. Plus, he can talk. The only thing working against him is his look, and I think he's gotten Vince to look past that at this point.

That was a vicious headbutt, he looked like his Bell was rung pretty good.

Owens is so **** good. Few guys in wwe history come off as real. Punk, Austin, Owens. All guys whose in ring personalities are exaggerated versions of themselves. Would be so great if they just got rid of scripts and let the chips fall where they may.

That headbutt was brutal. Would be shocked if McMahon doesn't have a concussion.

Also, while I know it would never happen in the modern WWE, what I wish they had done after the Vince beatdown was this...

Steph comes out and slaps the **** out of Owens. He watches her walk away to attend to her father, then he snaps, grabs her, and powerbombs her onto the ring apron.

That would have been amazing, and it would have fit with him being provoked into attacking another McMahon.

That said, I still think it's possible that Triple H is using Owens to destroy Shane for him. I know people have started speculating that this will all culminate in a HHH/Owens program heading into 'Mania (it would be nice to have someone who can go toe to toe with Trips on the mic for once, by the way), but I don't see why Owens taking out Shane would be bad for either Triple H or Steph. We know Steph hates him, and we can assume that Trips is in the same boat. Shane being gone is great for both of them, as he's their main rival for power behind the scenes.

Beating the hell out of Vince is on a higher level to winning your first major championship in WWE nowadays. Kudos to KO, he's made it big time

It was brilliantly done, but was it "real" or did Vince blade? Not sure how you headbut a 72 year old billionaire.

That was great, seeing Owens attack Vince like that. Amazing.

I don't think there was any time in which Vince could've bladed himself there, I'd have to go back and rewatch to be sure though.
