You're right. Owen's pranks were saved for backstage and out of camera view.

None of of this is for the money, he just want to shoot fight for one time in his career.
That's sweet.
Goddamn Fandango, no wonder he was relegated to extreme jobber.
Probably just 1.
How many times has he won that award? I feel like it's basically been his for the longest time.
I think Benoit might be the only one who has won it more times but they can't name the award after him.
Isn't he tied with Benoit?

Two birds with one stone, The Diving Headbutt award
That's probably it.

Not sure on that, but this Best of Botchamania shows a number of the clips in the opening.
I love this one with Hawk coming out during Vader's interview. The clip in the opening is less than a second, but the expression is priceless.

Remember when Orton was only suspended 60 days for his 3rd (4th) Wellness violation
Good times

Vince must see something different in Titus O'Neil.
I wonder how he is different from Orton.
Devil's advocate here, when the Orton thing happened it was pretty much a behind the scenes thing and they only mentioned it as much as they had to.
The Bryan thing had ESPN and national coverage hyping up to Raw, many eyes (they thought) would be watching and I am sure Vince expected alot of international wrestling press covering this as well as ESPN and whatnot.
In his mind I am assuming he got made to look bad when it was shown on tv.

He also let Orton come back from multiple concussions. When Bryan wanted to come back though? Not saying he should have come back, but still there is a double standard there.
Bryan did come back after concussions.
Also concussions and the effects they have can be very different.
There is no double standard there at all.
Well there is one big difference

That HHH/Axel angle would've gone over fine if HHH didn't overdo it.
Fucking conspiracy theories :lol :lol
I don't know what's worse, that this exists or that someone in this very same thread was like "oooooooh right now that you mention it!!!!" after reading it.
LOL

I also think its real worrying how they are avoiding giving him a mic. He isnt the best talker but dude can still talk.
Maybe Vince doesnt like his accent?
Anyway dude isnt even a month into his WWE run and I think its safe to say AJ is fucked.

Did anyone not think WWE would fuck this up?
Where is AJ supposed to be right now? He's a guy from TNA and New Japan. This isn't WWE signing the top guy from WCW at the height of the Monday Night Wars.
AJ is involved with two WWE-established names and he'll come out on top of them at the end of a non-title feud as his debut to the larger American audience during Wrestlemania season.
He was never getting thrown into the championship picture from day one.

A lot of people here (not naming names *coughpikmacough*) thought he'd get at least a full month before he was treated like everyone else

Dude couldn't handle the Ax-Man. Don't forget a few weeks later when he beat HHH twice in the same night

Yeah, I don't really have much of an issue with how the WWE is handling AJ Styles so far. Things like "redneck rookie" are honestly just small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. He's been made to look like he already belongs in the upper mid-card, and I feel like it'll only get better.
He's even got a "mentor" in Chris Jericho.
All we need is Michael Cole going all in on him as a heel.

Let's have some fun with this. Since today's booking is criticized, how would you book Wrestlemania? The current storylines don't matter. Just the champions do at the time of this posting.
WWE Champion - Triple H
Intercontinental Champion - Dean Ambrose
US Champion - Kalisto
Tag Team Champions - New Day
Diva's Champion - Charlotte
Looking at the current roster of ACTIVE wrestlers (no Orton, no Cena, no Rollins, etc) - how would you book Wrestlemania? Let's say there are 7 matches on the card.
That's how people with concussions act
It was fucking stupid in NXT 1 and it's stupider in 2016 when they're seeped in all this indie stuff now and they constantly mention he is not any kind of rookie.

I don't have seven matches for you, but I have two.
Lesnar v. Triple H
Ambrose v. Reigns

I feel sort of stupid for saying "That's The Point" because I don't think anyone should need it pointed out to them, but here we are: That's the point - you aren't supposed to see people like the Miz or the heel announce team as reliable narrators.
Thankfully I think casual fans understand this and don't need their hands held like some here.
