That’s his gimmick he’s angry at everything WWE but still continues to watch it and read about it.

Could say that about everyone here and how peeved we get with WWE.

You're exposing the business, Loughc.

Yep.

Hmm, she only has one belt there

J. Marston

I remember that really annoying me when they first did it. Now I don't mind it.

I suppose I'll come around to creaky Aleister, pew pew Ricochet and The Viking Experience in the end too.

CastorTroy

The Viking Experience sounds more like the name of a tribute act.

The Viking experience is one of the worst names I've ever heard. I wouldn't mind if it was a team from nxt that wasn't that featured and they rebranded them and brought them up to the main roster, but they've changed the name of the ****ing nxt tag champs less than two weeks after they were on a takeover on worldwide PPV on the biggest weekend the company has in the year. One of the McMahon family needs to have an intervention with vince and change the locks on his house and lock him in there. He's 73 I think. Whatever good ideas he used to have are long gone.

I wonder how Vince running the show is thought of at a more corporate level

Stupid name changes on their own aren't going to be his downfall, but I wonder how bad does he get before control can be taken off him

I haven't watched this week & just came in here to see the reaction to the The Viking Experience... but pew pew Ricochet :pac:

I'd say Triple H aside nobody at corporate level cares about anything but making money for the company and themselves. Until WWE start losing big money nothing will change imo. That will not happen for a very long time if ever. Vince is crazy, he will be 74 this year, he adds bringing the XFL back to his workload and he will still be at every writer meeting to have final say on all things creative for the wrestling shows. The quality of the shows will get a lot worse I think, the man just can't let anyone else have final say on almost anything. (NXT aside)

Vince is a workaholic and I reckon he's the devils spawn or inhuman. Add his intense daily workouts too

Vince likely had to be talked out of calling them The Junior Berzerkers :P

Close enough, ffs Vince

His mother is still kicking at 97 too so there is some long lasting genes in him. He'll still be taking bumps at 90.

Andrade and Vega are rumoured to be sent back to Smackdown, Black will join them but I'm not sure he was on Raw if any moves are set in stone anyway

SureYWouldntYa

I can only imagine as with almost everything else these days that who was being sent where was decided the day before or the day of, makes sense that they're only figuring out if things work out

I hope Elias goes back to Raw, there's room on a 3 hour show for him, there's little to none on a 3 hour show

The mvp star of Raw surely now is AJ's hair

So the Bar are still going to be a thing? Ugh.

As per WWE.com, someone had some cop on. Viking Experience are now the Viking Raiders.

I still feel they should be part of this

J. Marston

War Raiders still sounds way better but at least it's a compromise.

PTH2009

Viking raiders. Meh but way better. Why not call them the Vikings ???

Happy with Black/Andride and Vega going too SD as they might be in Dublin now. They obv will get in another rivalry but will they acknowledge Black and Vega are actually married ??? On Road Trip they sort of did with Vega on the phone too Black while travelling

Agent Coulson

Viking Raiders has me thinking NFL all the way not wrestling.

PTH2009

2x triple threat matches with 2 winners facing each other and winner faces Rollins at MITB for the title

Rey vs Styles vs Joe
Miz vs Drew vs Corbin

The first one looks tasty

Styles/Miz or Drew for me

Mr. Guappa

What's more pointless than the opening segment being used to set up matches later on the show?
- Announcing the matches first, then going ahead with the segment anyway.

seandotcomm

Yep, what a waste of 20 minutes. And none of those badly scripted promos sold either of the matches
