He wouldn't.
Short hair trips in a suit looks so much more convincing as a corporate boss than any long hair HHH would, which increases his hate-ability +100.

It's over guys. Vince and Kevin Dunn have broken Big E.

NWS, did they offer the
@ Winchester? I enjoyed the time I visit Winchester
pitch black tour
Nice, one guy's word against the other. Hard evidence. Plus wtf does Scott Hall remember legitimately.

It was a legitimately cool spot. Such a crazy house. I'm not surprised they only do guided tours there cause you could get lost instantly.
Glad we went early too. The staff there said the Wrestlemania crowd gave them their normal daily business (500 people) in the first hour they were open.
We only did the mansion tour cause the full tour is super long and we didn't get there til mid-morning but I was really impressed with just the house tour.
They offered it but I figured we'd be too wiped after Raw (and I was right) but I'd like to go back and take that tour if I'm in the area again.
He wouldn't have to be a corporate boss. He could've just bought stocks for a controlling share in the storyline and then not let filth touch him.
A dick in a suit boss character is so very tired.
I'd love to go on Halloween, but I bet it's an absolute madhouse.
You'll get no argument from me on this one. The heel authority trope is so fucking played out in WWE these days. But Trips is the best one at it since Attitude Era Vince.
Hump Day Honesty - Steph sucks as a heel authority figure. Sorry.
Wow you really have the proof here. I believe in what journalists say and real researched proof rather than message board posts.
In the end it doesn't matter I have my opinion and you have yours.

They have an annual pass that gives first dibs to special events like that and I bet that's one of the only ways to get in on Halloween since they seem to like to keep their tour groups pretty small.
Now hold on there, playa
What are wrestling journalists but someone who hears opinions likely from the same source? It's not scientific study or mathematics.
Absolutely.

It's a work. Most Twitter things are works. I really like kayfabe in 2015, actually. People have gotten so complacent in thinking works are always obvious now.
I've never heard Meltzer comment on Jericho being full of it. The only person who has that reputation for his books is Hogan.
He is ahead of the game because
they are turning heel
Russo was ahead of his time.
Vince probably thinks Big E is part of the hotel staff.

That fucking Happy Endings twitter lied to me. Time to end it all.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I never thought he had a particularly good character or on-screen personality. His effort out there spoke for itself.

I wonder what made Big E snap.
Well, Saxton doesn't have a very animated delivery. And there were huge pauses in his commentary. I'm inclined to let the silences stand, but I guess people want more chatter.
Beyond that, this is a fine example of why most televised events (sports, entertainment, fashion) are hosted by a commentary team. It takes a lot of skill to do cover an event without someone to take up the slack or to play off of.
Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips are very good on commentary, but they're still learning. In time, I can see them working Raw or Smackdown as a team, or maybe paired with Corey Graves.

Outside of nerves, I expect most people would do a better job. The problem is that his effort basically reflected exactly what I would have expected him to do having heard him on Smackdown.
Maybe its all a worked shoot to turn him more explicitly heel.
The only heat they're getting is hate. You either try and do something with it now or just let them be generic jobbers (they're serviceable jobbers, sure).
I guess its better than the old days when they would bring in random local guys to job, like Ted DiBiase would be fighting Dave Peterson from down the street.
For his sake he should have been going nuts.
You talk about having a chance to make it.
Might not get any better.

They'll clearly repackage Big E into the new Sting, they'll call him Blade E.
I personally don't expect one person to do both color and play-by-play all while Vince McMahon feeds them lines, especially on a minute's notice. There's no way Byron could've expected Brock Lesnar to injure his fellow broadcasters like that. I'm sure his thoughts were with his friends, and whether or not he could be next.
Light hearted rib or mean spirited cism? You be the judge.

Still sad yet interested in where CJ Parker goes next. Hope he keeps the gimmick, it was the best part about him besides that dope-ass song.

Why have him stand?
Who did Smackdown last night?
Of all things, why did the WWE say Cole had a Cervical fracture?
Well done. I laughed.
He isn't so I'm not sure why they expected him to do one man commentary for 2 whole hours. JR would have a hard time with that much less Saxton.

They should've brought Regal out
I think, in typical WWE-brand humor, they're implying that Cole has a cervix.

Who could be the Fire to Big E's Ice?It's just the thing Big E needed.
So Lawler can say it on air as a way to get back at Cole for "anal bleeding"
When they panned to the shot of Book all I could think of was that shot of Talia from Dark Knight Rises

Why are people taking a wrestler's twitter seriously, particularly on April Fool's Day?
Professional wrestlers don't save the idea of being a carny asshole for one special day a year, Beef.
Absolutely
Now let me tell you something, brother.

But people are believing Big E's tweet like he's never been all jokey-jokenheimer on twitter before.

From the last page - I still love Jericho and WWE is always better when he's about. I've never read any of his books or listened to his podcast though.

His first two books are really good. If you're looking for mainly wrestling stories, then stick with the first.

The podcast can convert you to team #fuckjericho
His sticking up for Bill DeMott was the last straw for a lot of folks.
