There are like three levels of bullshit people seem to use when calling out Vince

1) He is straight up lying
2) He is using company lines and I'm gonna call him out on it even though those lines are what is best for business
3) I don't agree with his philosophy, fuck his favorite wrasstlers

No doubt it's 3. Is he out of touch? Yeah probably. Doesn't make him a liar though.

Sounds like we really shouldn't get too invested in it. I doubt it will stick around with numbers like this.

There is going to be a second season that starts taping next month so unless the people putting up the money for cut the funding its going to happen. Plus it will have Del Rio so that will help.

Answer this question, but try to be honest unlike Vince:

He's taller, the body build is pretty much the same, better wrestler and worker, better talker (doesn't take much, even Bryan is in comparison).

Why is Ambrose taking a backseat to Reigns?
Click to expand...

I don't know, I'm not Vince. I can say things like there may be other factors at play that we can't see unless we go backstage, but really it just boils down to Vince just liking Reigns better than Ambrose right now. Thing is his likes/dislikes, like many people's, probably can't be broken down in terms of a simple checklist. Whatever weird ass criteria Vince has for selecting a star to push was just met by Reigns. Best not to try and nail down what it is he is looking for, especially when he can lose focus on a wrestler at a drop of a hat.

Is there a summary of what he said?

I don't remember everything, but there was:
the blaming the millenials bit which they laughed and went on a great rant about,
how hypocritical it is to say nobody tries when they do try and get punished for it,
the "Cena was the last to really reach for the brass" bit which was complete bullshit that ignored Bryan and Punk's efforts at least,
and the bit where Vince said Shane was doing great work in his new job in Japan (his job is in China)

Just say it's the look. Christ. Vince McMahon has a proven track record of pushing people that have a certain look about them. Big bodybuilder types with pretty faces.

Thanks!

I don't know if him not knowing Shane is in China is just because he is bitter or because he is racist and thinks it's the same thing.

This is disappointing to read. What else was on TV last Wednesday? Basketball or something?

I'm gonna do my best to continue spreading the word on Lucha Underground. I feel like wrestling fans are always asking for something new, different, interesting, and exciting, and now that it's here not enough are acknowledging it.:(

Daily Motion. I guess. I mean if you're going to be a god damn poor, I guess you might as well use the poor man's Youtube to watch your illegally pirated infotainment.

Thanks for posting this, by the way. It's much different when you listen to it, rather than seeing it written. There's a bunch of great stuff here. There are a lot of things to disagree on, but Vince is such a straight shooter, whenever Austin went in, Vince just shot back just as fast, pretty calm about it too. Love the story of when Linda was running for senate that he'd hang out with the bartender.

Punk podcast pretty entertaining. Basically WWE is a shitty company, not really surprised about anything there. And Punk buys into his own hype too much. Sounds like Angle back in the day.

TLC card looks decent. Why a chairs match though? This is such a terrible gimmick. The first match ever between Brotista and the "45 year old" managed to be bad when those two previously had five great matches.

I never got that. Do you get DQ'd if you use something else other than a chair?

Punk tried to beat the system his own way and he lost. Straight up.

He can win the war though as long as he isn't stupid and wastes all his money. Seems frugal enough, we'll see.
