So Vince didn't hear the pop Cesaro got at WM30 so?

/facepalm

He was too busy letting the Undertaker book the end of the streak.

Macho Man, Punk, The Network in UK, Not making Stars... Austin really did ask the questons most would have even if he did talk to much himself.

He didn't push Vince on the medical stuff, Punk's concussions, MRSA etc.

Haven't seen it mentioned but when Austin started talking about NXT he called it FCW and Vince didn't pick up on it. Austin corrected himself and Vince was like "wha? whats tha?". Interviewe can be tough at the best of times not to mention when you're live to however many people were watching but still.

Also, the social media stuff and Austin asking how people can give their feedback while Vince shruggs it off was total car crash. It was like watching some politician being harranged by Vincent Browne.

Austin had an earpiece and was been given time clues and corrected himself a number of times. It was also on a taped delay as curse words were bleeped out.

As for the medical issues not being questioned there was probably a very good legal reason for that.

And the visuals on the tv behind them were clearly all planned out in advance.

I'd say they had that stuff lined up for each topic possible.

Anyone have a link to it ?

Yep, I was surprised he plugged Colt's podcast tbh. Felt like he was making a very deliberate attempt to not miss any of the major points people would like addressed.


Vince seemed a bit nervous and quite old. For some reason it always surprises me a bit that he's not the swaggering Mr McMahon from the Attitude Era any more.

Vince's comments about Cesaro makes me wonder on how he will perceive Devitt. Devitt is closer to Cesaro than Sheamus personality and the type of charisma he has. On top of that Devitt is smaller.

Obviously McMahon likes the Irish more than the Swiss. :P

The reasons given for Cesaro's de-push sounded like something good ole' Trips would say. Especialy the whole "It Factor" horsepoo.

Triple H is actually a pretty big fan of Cesaro or his in ring at least. He was used pretty promptly on NXT and he did sign Claudio too.

What he say about Network in UK?

Jan 1st?

Essentially that it should be sorted by then but he doesn't want to be quoted on that as its not sorted yet so that cannot be 100% confirmed

The Ayatolla

Bollocks anyway. Summer it is then.

Well having just read a whole heap of bizarre and deeply paranoid conspiracy theories on him, I decided to just do a WWE on it and erase him from history there.

He looks pretty good for 69. Might have had a little work done maybe?

Mcmahon is always a bit nervous in the few candid interviews he's done. I think it's because he's expecting to be on the defensive.

Stereomaniac

I'd say Vince McMahon has had whatever treatments he can get. Sure he dyes his hair to look like his colour is only fading a little bit. The fake tan does be shocking on him sometimes too.

rovert

The UK WWE Twitter is on the ball. :rolleyes:

Stereomaniac

You mean in relation to what Vince was saying about the Network launching over there "soon"?

The link is a WWE.com article/advertisement for the Network which is not available in UK obvs. so a bit silly and pointless a WWE UK account linking it.

Itssoeasy

Anyone here use the network on an iPad ? I do and before you could tap the screen and make events that were broadcast years ago fill the screen. Has that option been removed ?

billion dollar baby

Anyone else having trouble with the Network tonight? Downloaded the latest update and now nothing will play. On PS3 here

Edit: nevermind. It's working now 😄

Garseys

Finally got the network. Managed to get it working on my iphone. Xbox one app isnt working for me at all.

Since when have WWE paid attention to the finer details of anything though, really?

Did you have to setup the Roku as a USA device?

no you only need to set up a roku account online with a fake us address before switching on the box and the unlocator app will do the rest

honestly i thought it was going to be much more hassle which is why i put off buying one this long, you only need to read the part "How to get US Channels on Your Roku" https://support.unlocator.com/customer/portal/articles/1250454
