He cares too much about his image. And he has to really respect the person to put them over.
He doesn’t care much about the image at all. It’s all about money. He’ll lose in 30 seconds if it means good business and filling up his bank account.

Just posted in the SD thread, but the draft was executed as scripted, there was no change. The list put up on the website was supposed to be re-ordered alphabetically and wasn't.

Dave says there's a big concern with info getting out and related this to the video games, WWE 2K20, etc. In so many words, says that Bray Wyatt's fiend character sounded like it only barely made it into the game for this reason, but it is why a lot of character changes do not. WWE is so concerned with info leaking that they're leaving people in the dark and leads to a lot of miscommunication.

This is sad



Meh, I don't think I've ever heard anybody not named, "Matt" have a good thing to say about Reby.

Lol. What an odd concern to have when you're notorious for changing plans in the middle of the show and have absolutely no long term plans.

Brock vs Cain at Crown Jewel is officially for the WWE Title.

There was no reference to the title being on the line in the Press Conference, nor the preview on the WWE website.

That was since updated sometime yesterday to confirm the title will be on the line, meaning Cain gets a championship shot in his debut match.

Booked themselves into another corner, eh? DQ finish? Why is Cain going 0-1 in his first WWE match. :laugh:

If money wasn’t a factor, Cain would have stayed doing Lucha Libre or gone to AEW. WWE offered him such a ridiculously big contract that he couldn’t say no, and AEW didn’t counter, per WON

Imagine there weren’t preliminary pools and the draft could have had some buzz with NXT included and guys like John Morrison? And the talents were actually shown reacting to the draft / brought onto the stage?

The draft was horribly run. They wanted to make it feel like a sports event yet Stephanie McMahon is boringly announcing every pick and as quickly as she can.

Just stupid.

I cannot imagine how ANYONE can listen to the WO Radio. Dave cannot complete a single sentence w/o 4 different tangents. I have no idea where he's going. He uses the word "like" 200 times. It sounds like a 13 year old doing his first speech in front of people. It is beyond insufferable.

Not taking away ANYTHING from the guy's legacy. But wow. I cannot make it beyond 10 minutes. It is SO bad.

I honestly don't give a shit about that match, and I say that as an MMA fan. Nothing WWE does is cool, and you're putting that match in f***ing Saudi Arabia, not an MMA hotbed where you could get an invested audience.

We also have no idea how well Cain can wrestle, the injuries in UFC piled up for him I honestly think if he and Brock had a shoot fight now Brock would beat him pretty badly. Cain didn't look good at the end

To be fair, Cain wrestled a couple matches already and he looked good.

The Tyson Fury stuff is the thing that is more pointless garbage

I'll take your word for it I haven't seen any of his matches, and WWE did do a good job with Ronda's first match. But I just haven't found a reason to care much yet

The real reason KSA wants it is because UFC won’t go there

**** what KSA wants, though. :banghead:

I wish Vince cared more about delivering a good product than he did about putting on garbage shows for quick cash
They bought the show, so, no you can’t f*** what they want, unless they pull out
