March 23, 201510 yr comment_5660238 I was one of the guys that was arguing for the touring brand, but I don't see them as a weekly touring brand. The max I said was the PPV weekends and the specials. Good points were raised, though. I don't know who thought them touring 52 weeks a year was a good idea, but specializing events or piggybacking PPVs is about as big as they could get without stretching the brand.
March 29, 201510 yr comment_5661509 I agree with the argument against the WWE podcast for the exact same reasons mentioned in the podcast. There's no way they are going to let their current guys get out of character for any amount of time on their programming. It's okay for the old school guys, but it's not going to happen for, since it was mentioned, Bray Wyatt. He would spend an hour talking about living in the Louisiana swamp. And they probably wouldn't have great stories about their current characters because they were handed to them in the first place.
