Seems this was a wake up call for him.

He said he never thought he was an alcoholic, but said he knows now that he was

There was a lot of talk backstage about Jinder Mahal's promo that got a "that's too far" chant. The segment wasn't even uploaded to WWE's YouTube page.

I've seen a couple of reviews attempt to defend that promo.

I'm not. Everything about Jinder's run has been in poor taste. You don't need to be racist to get heat

I mean he said he "rooks" the same and gets his haircut by a dog groomer and looks like Mr. Miyagi. They weren't even trying to be subtle.

You don't need to be racist to get heat but if they tell a good joke that has that kind of tone in it while it gets heat then I'm not entirely unopposed to it but it's a difficult thing to pull off in today's culture. The stuff in that Jinder promo was poorly set up and the lamest kind of that humor for the situation.

Wwe sent surveys on a new priced network tier. Included are tna and Gfw along with ROH.

WWE also asked fans about the possibly of adding original scripted dramas, reality shows, an udio channel, special live events, scripted comedies, TV-14 programming and more.

Here is the link of the choices.

I find the tv 14 interesting.

" A new weekly ecw version..."

Kimi might like this. House shows uploaded to the network.

Where the hell would they even film a new TV-14 in-ring show? Full Sail? Do it before a Smackdown taping?

That was also the first option given on the survey. I think they are looking in to it. Probably not a coincidence with all the other choices they give.

I finished the Survey that they sent to the email. The questions were randomized. Not like the pic that was linked above.They asked a few other questions about who you watch with and age demographics.

Pfft. I want my TV shows on the TV and houseshow in my... House..? That would actually be awesome lol.

But it would be fun to get good camera work of the randomly great matches they some times do. Like those HHH & Owens tag matches they had on the European tour and stuff.

Of course McGregor wouldn't want to step into the ring with Braun. There's no money for him to make there. Not a slight against McGregor or Braun really just that McGregor is big money and wrestling is not.

yeah WWE wishes they could get McGregor. The dude will go back to boxing before he steps in a WWE ring. Dude's about to make even more BIG money in the UFC now too.

And that's just it. It was beyond poor taste and really not funny at all.
