Vince has always thought things he comes up with/likes are better than what anyone else comes up with or likes. I'm willing to bet that's why he fights against the crowd so much.

Not sure if it was on one of these shows or not, but I saw on Twitter the other day Eric was talking about the issue at the heart of Missy Hyatt's workplace harrassment lawsuit (a photo of her having a nip slip was blown up and hung in the office) and his takeaway on the issue was that you can't sexually harass a slut. Just served as a reminder to me that Eric is basically just Vinny Ru without the Noo Yawk accent/bro speak who had a couple outside the box ideas.

Anyway, thought it was funny the reviewer took the time to bag Ronda's performance in particular. There's a reason most movies/games that use voice actors either go all professional voice actors or all celebrities for their voiceover work. When you mix and match it really makes the ones who don't do it for a living stand out in a not-good way.

The network version is said to be a few minutes longer than what's on Youtube so it doesn't seem to be that version.

It's weird, there's actually not any lootboxes in the game. There's stuff unlocked with currency earned in game, and right now the payouts for the things that earn those currencies are stupidly low at the moment. The only stuff you can actually buy that would be considered a microtransaction are the crystals used to buy the featured items in the shop.

So the reviews are out for Mortal Kombat 11 (it's good except for some single player grindy bullshit), but one review in particular complimented the voice over work "with the exception of former UFC fighter and current WWE wrestler Ronda Rousey". To be fair, I didn't think she was that bad. There was just a noticeable difference between her and professional voice actors. Her character had to hit some emotional beats that might have been a little above her acting range, but it showed she can deliver a good performance when not trying to work her way through a WWE word salad.

I could be convinced that Al Perez is a time traveler and he's currently Seth Rollins.

Once Kevin Dunn hears Ricochet's Kentucky-ass accent we'll be lucky he doesn't get a Hillbilly gimmick.

I get Taker, apparently his deal expired and Vince just assumed he would never do any non WWE events. Angle, on the other hand I don't understand what Conrad was thinking. Did he think the retirement match at Mania was a shoot and Kurt no longer had a contract with WWE?

Imagine someone thinking the point of doing a Piper's Pit clone is to only get the guests over. What to people remember Piper's Pit for? The Snuka coconut incident, Piper clowning Frankie Williams, and giving a midget a mohawk.

Never stopped to think how a change of scenery could benefit Roman. Of course being able to punch out Vince is always a solid babyface move as well.

Apparently a big part of the Von Erichs doc is that Kevin is finally letting his guard down and doing a kayfabe-free interview for the first time ever.

I would argue the only time there was any crowd investment in a Seth match was against Brock, and that was because WWE was largely successful at getting fans to buy Brock was holding the title hostage.

She showed more in her brief NXT appearances than Peyton has ever shown there or on the main roster.

The Bray skit was a great WTF moment, but I can't shake the feeling that it's all a set up for him ending up the same character as before. As cool as I thought it was, I just don't see "creepy kid show host" sticking around long in a company with toy companies as their largest sponsor. Also maybe it's just me, but between the new buff physique and him talking in a somewhat normal voice for a change (normal for him at least) he really looked like Bo Dallas on HGH and acid.

Well at least they figured a way to get people to quickly forget they put Robert Fucking Roode over Ricochet in 2019.

To be fair, the only people ever to be able to rock a stache like that were Rick Rude and Dan Severn.

The Last Real Man, Robert Roode.

Roode would be fine in NXT as an experienced guy the newbies can work with, there's pretty much no point for him on the main roster.

I know we're in an era where everyone has to be a top notch worker, but I kind of dig the IIconics as the bumbling heel team.

Yeah it's nothing new, but sometimes it just hits you in the face how little effort is being put in to things.

Everyone just coming out one by one to set up a match we already know was set, such lazy writing to get from point A to B.

I must have missed when they were planning to start an upstart football league. That was the joke. They name people after NFL teams when they (well Vince technically) is going to go against them.

Yes, but that's begging for a Cease and Desist from the NFL.

Word is at least part of the reasoning was they realized the optics would be bad to have a show named Backlash a week after having another show in Parts Unknown.
