As someone who owns a shillelagh I'm offended.

To be fair, I'm glad he came back because no one wants to see Goldberg limp his way through another main event. I just hate that the stupidest people are gonna be all LOL WORKD THA SHEETZ when multiple sources confirmed he did leave earlier.

I guess Steph wrote another check

I love that the subtext of this main event is everyone hates Theory so no one smartened him up that the Usos plan to murder him once the match ends.

I can't help but love Double J, dude's a carny GOAT.

Everyone loves Pat and everyone wants to see Corbin get his ass beat, this is like the perfect program.

Honestly the Steph opening segment was not as bad as I was expecting. Leading the "Thank You Vince" chants was gross but I was afraid we were going to get the next chapter of "this is worse than 9/11".

Very interesting Theory still mentioned Brock, they must think they can get him back after he has time to cool down.

I'm going to die laughing if Smackdown ends up a two hour Vince Memorial Show.

I truly enjoy having someone who grew up a message board shitposter like me in charge of a major wrestling promotion.

Got an email from WWE (at 5:42 pm) asking me to tune in to watch Brock on Smackdown tonight on Fox! (which reminds me, Fox has to be thrilled over this development)

We're pretty much a tweaked hammy by Goldberg away from Taker coming back at this rate.

If you're referring to what I said, he didn't actually make a plea, just that his retirement like this is basically an admission of the charges against him being legit.

Vince basically did his version of doing an Alford plea in court where you don't admit guilt but agree that there's enough evidence to find you guilty.

Vince apparently made the decision to retire a week ago, which sure puts Titus's speech in a different context. I suppose he was basically saying goodbye by proxy.

Can't wait to watch Smackdown and see a solemn Michael and Pat tell the audience that Brock is unprofessional and left the building, crushing the hopes and dreams of the WWE Universe.

Saw it pointed out that by promoting Ric's last match, JCP technically lasted longer than Vince

Also I would expect if HHH and Steph really have power, we'll probably see at least Bruce if not Dunn as well eased into retirement soon. Dumping all the Vince cronies would probably cause too much chaos to do all at the same time, so I can see them easing in to it.

Apparently he said "If he's gone, I'm gone" so RIP Summerslam I guess.

Yeah it's stunning how quick we went from him going from symbolically waving his dick on TV to "welp, bye ya'll"

Someone found where the bodies were buried, or the investigation flipped someone who knew. Has to be. I don't see Vince leaving under any other terms than that.

I'm not saying Bron doesn't look/wrestle like a Steiner, just that Brutus somehow manages to out-Steiner a Steiner, which is impressive as hell.

Mark Henry was primarily hired for his recruiting abilities, I think he was the one who got Jade on their radar. He earned his pay for that one alone. Taz has been great at commentary since back in his WWE days, he has that Jesse Ventura "ex wrestler who's good at pointing things out from a wrestler point of view while not sucking up to the babyfaces" vibe.

Kayfabe, brother

I would be down for Mauro being a heel manager, I could see that being money.
