Yeah this was a much better episode in terms of pacing,

VKM has daddy issues. He didn't get to meet Sr. until he was like 13 and it seems like his goal was to erase any traces of what his dad created. I don't think it's a coincidence that the only person who was star when Sr was in charge that ever held in high esteem was Andre and even that was probably because he helped draw the biggest house the WWF ever had until Dallas Mania. Even Pat Patterson's legacy got recast as "Vince's right hand man who was the first IC champ but we'll never talk about anything else he did as a wrestler".

I just think it's funny that the entire pre-VKM era of the WWWF gets lumped into one 20 year era.

Man, it's almost whiplash inducing to watch Smackdown after Raw. Heyman's super power must be somehow getting Vince to let the talent he's paired with come up with their own shit, because I can't possibly accept that the same writers who come up with all the bullshit on Raw could have a hand in creating the Roman Family Saga we're seeing unfold.

Cage and Hobbes as a new age Steiner Brothers "dudes who just throw other dudes" team would rule.

Also Tony is so great in these Britt interviews as "dad who can't help showing how proud he is".

I love that Layla Hirsch is basically Taz in an alternate dimension where he was born as a tiny Russian woman.

Man when someone from the Dark Order finally wins the TNT title, It'll blow the roof off the place.

Wardlow vs Hager could be a fun big guy clubberin' match as long as Jake doesn't eat him up.

Look, I 100% the Bucks' act not being everyone's cup of tea, but damn does their heel ring work crack me up.

ITS BROCK (anderson)!! It's amazing how he looks exactly what you'd expect the son of Arn Anderson to look like.

Seeing Christian's entrance video makes me think they missed an opportunity not having Sonny Kiss put Out. Twerk, Everyone. in theirs.

Luchawiki has some additional details on him:

Yeah, 10-12 on any day would be rough, but Friday is just a killer.

At the very least it seems he has a lot of friends who would say that, but surely a known Iron Cross enthusiast like himself would never think such things

That's some real "white people complaining they can't use the n-word" level shit that gives away the person saying it doesn't get (or doesn't care about) the difference in power between groups. Add in that women in WWE have mentioned wanting to do another all women PPV and he really comes off as an out of touch dipshit. Hey! Maybe is is fit to take over for Vince after all!

Man, I forgot they were doing an episode on the Dynamite Kid. Funny how it's almost like they undersold what a psycho he was by saying how Jacques Rougeau standing up for himself (and apparently getting Dino Bravo to have the mob threaten DK if he retaliated) seemed to fuck him up mentally. Dude seemed to be mentally incapable of dealing with the idea that someone would get tired of his bullshit.

Countdown to the "Paul Levesque is ALL ELITE" jpeg..........

I seem to recall him having pissy moments here and there, but it was the first time he was that way the entire conference. His comment about all the best women in the world either already being in WWE or wanting to be there is certainly making waves too. Britt already responded to it which is interesting considering her personal life.

I bet NBC/Universal loves hearing a WWE exec saying "watch it or don't" when they've paid like $2 billion for the Network/Raw/NXT.

Poor Paul, getting pissy because fans are trying to figure out where things are going because WWE either doesn't know or gives up on ideas midstream.

Three hours is a brutal slog for a weekly TV show no matter who's involved. Smackdown is showing that a show run by the same people can be compelling week to week, but how effective would the Tales of the Tribal Chief be if they had to pad it out to fill an extra hour every week?

Stock went way up because reddit nerds want to make it the next meme stock like Gamestop.

Yeah being in WWE seemed to really mess his mind up and he took some time off after that. This seems to be more him realizing there's more to life than wrestling and wanting to get out before the injuries pile up.

Yeah the only thing that seems to be edited (other than the music for obvious reasons) was Brian Pillman calling Johnny B Badd a homophobic slur before their match at Bash 91. That was done pre-Peacock I believe.
