Vince to blame Corbin for everything ratings wise I wouldn't be surprised if he had to take every wrestlers finishing move. (Who did that happen to before?)




However shouldn't he really be blaming his daughter who put Corbin in charge.

Ending the brand split would be a distaster.

They already struggle to get and use everyone when there's two rosters.

Agreed. Less belts too. That’s why i said partially end it. Nothing would change other than the ability to move wrestlers every few months to another show to start new feuds without a draft.
Treat the non-belt holding wrestlers like independent contractors paid week to week and GM’s have to entice them to their show. They get in a feud, stick to one show for a few months at least and then move shows if it suits.
The problem with having someone stuck on one show with no active feuds is that they fall off tv or get used for skits.
Let the feuds decide where a wrestler turns up.

The problem with moving Becky and Charlotte is they move away from the Smackdown writers and on to a show where they will go see a psychiatrist and have open forums.

There are no exclusive show writers or producers. There is only 1 man who controls the output and he's the ratings draw tonight.

Good thing you told me otherwise I’d have been watching online tomorrow.

I think i have series links on at least 3 stations now for Raw.

Could they have recorded tonights episode of raw earlier in the day and are now recording next week's episode

6.5 hours of wrestling for the live crowd

J. Marston

Shaking things up with more Authority?

Agent Coulson

Puke!

Agent Coulson

Just need Linda and Trump now.

The fcuk was that?

J. Marston

This feels all wrong.

They’ve done a great job on getting heat for Corbin, poor chap couldn’t get a reaction to save his life a few months ago.

Deliberately tanking the show the show for months with record low ratings to get Baron Corbin heat. Vince, you genius!

Agent Coulson

Well he’s done a better job with his promo than all the Mc’s did.


Now can Steph fcuk off for about two years.

Furious-Red

The big announcement still sounds very vague

Agent Coulson

The big announcement is.......


When the ratings continue to drop it will all be the WWE universe’s fault not the McMahon’s.

Furious-Red

This whole happy family thing is also very cringe

Faugheen

So they say they're going to make it all about the WWE Universe while all 4 of them pat themselves on the back and make the segment all about themselves.

Love this heat for Corbin though.

Apparently we will see new superstars, new matches

Then those new matches will be repeated every week

Furious-Red

Is this one of the new superstars/matches they were on about?

Agent Coulson

What really would change the WWE universe is if they stopped trying to kill the competition and buying all the talent in the world.

PTH2009

Corbin could easily beat Angle

Not sure is Angle is good shape or a rough one ?

Agent Coulson

So the first match of this new era of unpredictability is the most predictable match they could have!

Not far off eh.

Deeper Blue

So it's a new era with new matches and we get basically the exact same segment as last night?
