Haitch is really good at this

 

[Officerrob]

The majority of their audience is men in their 30's, just like it has always been

 

[kirblar]

Wow, Austin is really going in here.

 

[Macho Madness]

This is some horrrrrrible spin. Holy shit.

 

[Toki767]

I guess they don't hear the majority of the crowd cheer Bryan vs half the crowd cheering Reigns.

 

[slightconfuse]

HHH really loves bill Simmons

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Attitude Era was kiddie shit confirmed.

 

[LoserMakesGood]

Im a little behind but Mr. H's EVERYBODY loves Bryan. Every person you just talked about loves Daniel Bryan and cheers for him.

 

[TheStruggler]

what happened

 

[Fox318]

The majority of their audience is men in their 30's, just like it has always been

Are they buying the shirts?

Kids are still buying the cena shit for better or worse.

 

[Big One]

Haitch burying the writing

 

[bean breath]

...and this crowd is awful.

This segment was written for a smart mark town and they can't improvise on the fly. I appreciate Denver not trying to get themselves over and just enjoying the show. The blame lies with the in-ring performers, Cena could've turned this around with no effort.

 

[TimeEffect]

What a bunch of b.s.

Pretty much everybody loves Bryan

Cena and Roman are below him when it comes to reactions. But I get his stance on Cena selling

 

[Fox318]

You know who could have turned this crowd around...

 

[Cagey]

Austin nailing the problem by asking if people are more concerned with backstage than the in ring.

 

[Anth0ny]

Working the work marks

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

The entire internet is dirtsheets (Yes, I'm quite behind).

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

how do i watch the podcast?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

HHH really loves bill Simmons

David Shoemaker writes a WWE column for Grantland and also does a podcast for them, but yeah, they do love to point out that Bill Simmons is a fan. He mentioned him by name on SmackDown.

 

[Officerrob]

Are they buying the shirts?

Kids are still buying the cena shit for better or worse.

According to WWEshop, men, women, and kids are buying more of Miz's shirt than Roman's. T-shirt sales matter, but obviously not that much

 

[The Shapesmith]

Is it me or does Austin seem on the verge of rolling his eyes at some of the spin here.

 

[Jimmy King]

Triple H is losing some goodwill he got from NXT.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Feel like HHH is being much more open...or at least giving his honest opinion, much more so than Vince did in his podcast.

 

[Big One]

What a bunch of b.s.

Pretty much everybody loves Bryan

Cena and Roman are below him when it comes to reactions. But I get his stance on Cena selling

It's bullshit anyway cause Reigns isn't selling anything right now.

 

[Thorakai]

Daniel Bryan exposed as a dirty millennial

 

[StoopKid]

The majority of their audience is men in their 30's, just like it has always been

I have a really hard time believing that.

 

[bean breath]

Why wouldn't casuals like Reigns? Why are you guys so surprised?

Because they're Daniel Bryan fans.

 

[Heel]

I wonder if The Yes Movement actually believes Triple H when he says that Daniel Bryan getting "held back" is a designed story line.

 

[Fox318]

how do i watch the podcast?

on the network livestream

 

[NYR]

Kudos to HHH, he is being open. I don't like to think of him as an evil genius who planned this all along.

 

[kirblar]

Feel like HHH is being much more open...or at least giving his honest opinion, much more so than Vince did in his podcast.

You have to read between the lines w/ HHH here because he has to be nice.

 

[f3niks]

Hearing Trips on this podcast really does have me thinking that this company will be in good hands when Vince eventually passes the torch.

 

[Alucard]

Did HHH mention the VOLUME of merch that Cena has in comparison to every other wrestler, and how he promotes a new t-shirt once every two months?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Oh so you and your posse of D.Brine vegan lovers used submissions? You never took the REAL STUFF like I did. Rock Bottoms, Stunners, Chokeslams, DIAMOND CUTTERS.

TELL YUNG_WRECKER TO GROW UP AND TOUGHEN UP

#WRECKED

It was more like Bret, ***** ******, Dean Malenko, etc.

But we threw in stunners and diamond cutters and junk too. Hell, I was the cutter in a 3D one time which was completely irresponsible and amazing.

I BEEN GROWED UP, BEEF.

 

[Ithil]

Feel like HHH is being much more open...or at least giving his honest opinion, much more so than Vince did in his podcast.

He can't really be honest, not fully, he has to nice about Vince. Vince can say what he wants cos he's the boss.

 

[bean breath]

People have the right to cheer for who they want to. Who are we to judge who is the real fan or not?

So the crowd sucks because they are popping for Reigns?

Alright guys.

 

[Fox318]

Kudos to HHH, he is being open. I don't like to think of him as an evil genius who planned this all along.

Yup.

I mean the only issues I have with Roman is I don't see him working a great match. If he is has a great singles match at fastlane I'll feel better.

The promo shit just requires him to be himself.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I hope they address Charlotte jobbing.

 

[Thorakai]

I hope they address Charlotte jobbing.

or women's wrestling in general

 

[Alucard]

Going back to finish up the rest of Raw. The Divas division is terrible. I don't like ANY of these women. They're just some scorned writer's vision of how he perceives all women.

 

[The Elite]

I hope they address Charlotte jobbing.

Seems too far back to discuss now. They are going to talk about NXT though.

 

[Fox318]

Look at the Johnny Ace roster.

Cena gets the most marketing but he did such a shit job of roster development.

If it wasn't for ROH what is the WWE roster today?

 

[Freddy=Legend]

He can't really be honest, not fully, he has to nice about Vince. Vince can say what he wants cos he's the boss.

You have to read between the lines w/ HHH here because he has to be nice.

I agree. He's choosing his phrasing carefully. But he still seems to be trying to be relatable & explain things to the extent he able/allowed to.

 

[kirblar]

Johnny Ace decimated them.

 

[imBask]

HHH burying himself, we've gone full circle

 

[bean breath]

"We can't hear you."
::commercial::

Live tv, right?

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

I like how they acted like they're the only show on TV that the viewers hate the writers when things don't go as the viewers like.

 

[Sou Da]

Long winded way to say "Let's just see where this goes"

 

[dream]

Thank you bean breath for drawing my attention to all those posts where people were angry because real wrestling fans weren't booing the person they inexplicably need to have booed. Embarrassing.

 

[kirblar]

HHH burying himself, we've gone full circle

HHH is great, he's just often his own worst enemy when it comes to booking and having a blind spot for his own programs/family/friends.
