WWE TV from November 15th to 21th
Look, if you were a promoter, and you saw a crowd booing someone so loudly that it actually drowned out their heel promo, aren't you at least going to try to do something with that? I'm not saying that she should be a heel ace like Vader or something, because that probably would kill interest, but trying to use that heat in a role where you can minimize her weak points isn't a terrible idea.

ESPN's Grantland
I've heard the WOR podcast, but not Cheap Heat. Curious, can you give more details? Well, if you want to hear things along the lines of "anyone who's offended at this is just getting worked" and blaming the controversy on "outrage culture", I've got the podcast for you. Shoemaker's reaction to Flair being upset was something along the lines of "I don't want to hear about that", like he's intentionally shutting his ears, because he doesn't want to choose favorites between Ric Flair and WWE or something. Not quoting verbatim, because frankly, I don't want to listen to that podcast again, but I'm not just taking stuff out of context to make it look bad.

Listening to the first 20 minutes of Cheap Heat and comparing it to the first 20 minutes of the latest WOR podcast about the Flair angle is, uh, a contrast.

WWE Talk October 12 to October 18
There have to be ways to send the crowd home happy without pinning the champ clean. I get that house show results aren't supposed to matter these days, but that's still an absurd record for a champ to have, considering he ate clean pins in a lot of those matches. What's Roman doing anyway? Headlining the b-circuit house shows?

What the hell is even happening here? Did the Political Hit change hands?

Rebuilding Roman Reigns
Bryan-Reigns, Lesnar-Reigns, and Show-Reigns were all very good matches for completely different reasons. John Cena these days is far more guilty of always wrestling the same match.
