Where can I find that?

I don't like how WWE is using their NXT talents as audience. It's too obvious that they're instructed to cheer the faces and boo the heels. Did not look genuine at all.

It is like in the nhl, where the players have to sit in there because of their penalties^^

Watching this Taker doc about his series with Michaels and it got me thinking about HBK. I was always a bret guy as a kid so I’ve always had a bias against him, but just how many guys can say they’ve had 3 all time great mania matches back to back to back, and they were the last three of their career? Just crazy stuff. If I’m firing up a classic match to watch it’s likely one of those Taker matches or his flair match. Not to mention, that doesn’t even take into account his matches with Bret, Cena and Angle. Taker has the streak but good lord, nobody outdid Shawn in that setting.

Just got caught up and it's very compelling and well produced no question, but the HHH-Shawn-Taker stuff still bothers me. They had 4 straight Mania's with each other, and all the follow up matches, and throw Kane and Goldberg in there, and it's no wonder there are no current stars in the company, because all the legends have their last big memorable moments with one another as they wind down. Just the concept of legends retiring legends is not what wrestling is about, it's supposed to be passing the torch to the next generation. At least Taker tried with Roman but then it went downhill from there. WWE has been doing everything they criticized WCW for doing with their old guys.

Was watching some stuff on the WWE Network and the Wyatt Family popped on. It's absolutely criminal how badly the WWE messed that group up. Strowman, Harper, Rowan and Bray all in one group and the only title they held was the tag titles at the tail end of the run? Absurd.

WWE has still no sense for good storylines.
Sad but true.

One of the brilliant minds relieved of one of the most important duties smh

Hey WWE, how come a small fry like Drake Maverick got interesting and a little build to introduce a heel Santos Escobar from a face El Hijo Del Fantasma, who I know little about, got me so hooked and invested?

**** me, ditching Heyman in favour of two shows Pritchard, that is a horrible decision.

Honestly hope Heyman jumps ship to AEW, he could help them at least in terms of writing (as like lead consultant or something).

Pritchard, as amazing as his impersonations and stories are, is nothing but a yes man that will send ratings dwindling even further. He is not a good creative mind, i'm sorry, he's not.

You can't blame Heyman, the issue is that Vince is a senile old man who hasn't known how to book a good product for at least a decade.

under these circimstances, there is only one question:
how long is Heyman still under contract with WWE?^^

Only as a representative of Lesner, he will only have a few appearances...and i personally don't think he agrees with that.

I mean i could totally see him just staying for the paycheck as well, it depends how much passion he has left (cause i have a feeling ECW circa 2006/07 killed his passion for wrestling creatively).

Maybe but do anybody think that the product under pritchard will be better? i personally don't think so...

I really hope the stuff about Riddle isn't true, I was/am a big fan. Crazy couple days in professional wrestling.

Jack Gallagher has been released after accusations against him. Either the evidence was significant or he admitted to it. WWE acted quick on that one.
