In fairness, Austin Theory's character (in NXT at least) was in part that he's an idiot.

Creatively, it's just as bad as WCW 2000, maybe worse if you consider at least you got the sense WCW was at least trying then. Sure all the ideas were panic driven and terrible, but you knew someone somewhere was making an attempt. Modern WWE just feels like it's coasting by on its laurels and the idea they're basically making infinite money thanks to TV deals and the Saudis.

Austin Theory. So he could take a selfie with it. Seriously.

Vince winning the title was part of an ongoing storyline that furthered other issues. He wasn't a heel manager like Heenan/Cornette/Hart, he was (is still lol) the megalomaniac owner of the company doing whatever he could to foil his enemy. YMMV of course if it was any good of course, but there was some greater context. The David Arquette thing (that he didn't even want to happen) was just to promote a movie and the Russo thing was just an ego driven mess. Just saying "why is A and B bad and C is not?" divorced of context is kind of the thing that leads to bad faith arguments we see so often about....well.. practically everything nowadays.

Apparently the security at Barclay's really sucks, since this dude came from the same section as the dude who attacked Bret and Nattie at the HOF that one year. I mean, shit happens, but if shit keeps happening at the same building like that you have to start thinking there's a pattern here.

Not gonna lie, when it happened I thought it was Kevin Owens for a second until they cut away so fast.

I chuckled at the Brooklyn crowd being audibly impressed that MVP (who's from *Miami*) is reasonably fluent in Spanish.

Somewhere Monty Brown is watching that and is like "damn, son"

So far the highlight of the show has been a fan taking down Seth Rollins on live TV.

I fully expect Taya to be back in AAA sooner than later as long as there aren't any travel restrictions.

AAA Mega Championship officially vacated, which is somewhat surprising since it would not have been out of character for AAA to just not notice/care the title was out of circulation for months.

Rock out there adding to his GOAT status after everyone thought he was finished, like Brady winning another SB with the Bucs.

Impact got him to do more for their HOF that WWE could get for one of their A PPVs built around his 25th anniversary.

Well at least we get Roman and E SLAPPING MEAT to take us home.

Kayla/Heyman is the best feud in WWE and it's not even close.

Rhea secret PWO lurker confirmed, she saw that thread about how useless pumphandles are and was like "hold my beer"

Everyone not in the match pretending to be too hurt to get on the apron is sure something.

Works for me, it's the one thing the rest of the world can agree on: no one can get mad at something if it's Canadian.

Watching my Steelers on a second screen and see they are bringing back Nash Bridges for a TV movie. That will probably score high with the 62 year olds watching NXT.

Zelina's outfit glowing from the blacklight in Rhea's entrance might be the most accidentally cool thing WWE has done in a while.

Man it feels pretty tone deaf to shoot an angle where people have to all surround Vince's limo to fawn over him and his stupid ass movie prop egg when they just keep tossing folks overboard.

Places around here would sell Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and ham, and I was informed by a Hawaiian ex co worker that it's very much not a thing in Hawaii.

If this match was taking place literally anywhere else in the world, the Usos coming out in all white would ensure a bloodbath.

Some people still try to fight that war, bubba.

Dave has been saying from the start (and considering it's Dave you know it's probably coming from Cody directly) that everything he's done has been designed to get a babyface reaction. It really comes off as Cody thinking he's doing some kind of epic storytelling arc and being all "yes I am a master of manipulation" while getting booed out of the building trying to be a 80s style patriotic babyface.
