I'm interested to know what they're basing Hulk's life story off of. If Terry has anything to do with it the movie should be classified as fantasy.

From what I heard it's just about his wrestling career and not any of the stuff that went down after and it's
also just gonna be on Netflix.

Yeah I think Rollins vs. Lesnar is one of the least anticipated World Tittle matches at WM of all-time. The crowd doesn't
care about either of these guys. I think Heyman and Brocks shtick has completely ran it's course and has dried out.

I was actually thinking this WM could use a big celebrity or 2 like the old days to give this card some kind of juice
and pizzazz because it doesn't feel like a WM or WM season at all. It's kind of depressing.

WWE Just welcomed four amazing additions to the main roster. Two of those guys are currently champions in NXT. However, Vince McMahon might not be as impressed.

Brad Shepard reported on Oh, You Didn’t Know that Vince McMahon has an interesting strategy when it comes to the new NXT Superstars. He wants to throw them in the deep end to see if they will swim. This is due to his longing to prove his son-in-law wrong.

“I was told that there is a weird dynamic at play where Triple H hypes the guy and Vince tries to prove him wrong. In this case, Vince wanted to put the NXT call-ups in a hole and test them to see if they could climb out of it. So this is the metaphorical Vince throwing them in the deep end of the swimming pool and seeing if they’ll drown or come up for air.”

Hopefully, the fact that Ciampa, Gargano, Black, and Ricochet all made appearances on SmackDown Live the next night after RAW is a good sign. It’s not hard to imagine that there is a competitive nature to Vince McMahon that loves to say, ‘I told you so,’ but it also seems rather self-destructive to not give each new Superstar all the chances in the world to succeed.

Vince really needs to die or retire. I'm convinced the main roster will never be good until that happens.

You never want to wish death upon someone unless they've committed crimes that call for it. I don't and would never wish for Vince to die but that's not the first time I've heard, in order for the WWE product to change for the better, Vince would likely have to pass away. Even if he were to retire, guarantee you he'd still have some sort of hand in that cookie jar.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

I love this report as well...

Triple H had to use some quick thinking to make sure that Ricochet’s WWE RAW debut went off well. After all, Vince McMahon had much different plans. That won’t keep McMahon from doing what he wants to anyway.

Dave Meltzer discussed the reason for this latest batch of NXT call-ups to the WWE main roster. Apparently, the catalyst for a lot of this is The Undertaker’s involvement with Starrcast.

As Meltzer continued speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, he explained why Vince McMahon made these decisions and apparently, there was a “communication issue” with Triple H in the process.

“Vince is reacting to the ratings, I think there’s a reaction to AEW and basically he wanted to get wrestlers on RAW now and so you know he’s not that up on NXT, but it was essentially, ‘Who are the four best guys?’ These are the four best guys, I guess.”

“Triple H didn’t know. There was a communication thing there. So he just wanted those four guys. I’m not sure whether he picked them or whether he was told that these are the guys.”

Aleister Black has been discussed for a main roster call-up before, but the other three names that were brought up to the main roster were total surprises. It is said that this decision was made late last week as well.

This is certainly interesting because all four new main roster call-ups are slated to be heavily featured at the next NXT TakeOver event.

I mean, it's obvious the product isn't improving until one of those things happens. And it's equally obvious that he'll probably keep doing the job until he either literally dies on the job or becomes so senile that he has to be replaced.

Also, kind of pointless to delete my post after you already quoted it lol.

That's just a f***ed up thing to say.

And I didn't delete any post, I'm not a mod here.

I think most would just prefer he retired, but realistically I think everyone knows he's going to keep working until he dies or is literally forced out. Thus, I usually throw in "dies or retires" rather than just saying retires.

Yeah that was my bad. I thought my post was right before his and not further up the page. Browsing on the phone is a pain sometimes. It's also tough to see who the mods are on the phone at a glance, hence why I assumed he was one.

Anyway, I admittedly phrased that poorly. Meant to say something more along the lines of, "Vince really needs to retire, but we all know it's gonna take death to get him out of there."
