I think they realized that Sandow, while quite charismatic, has neither the physique nor the in-ring skills to be much more than a lower-card staple, so they figured just keep going with the stupid imitation stuff that got him over in the first place.
Sandow's someone who's just a few points shy of being great. Maybe there's an alternate reality where they kept going with the intellectual savior gimmick, booked him to be a more serious threat in the ring, but there are bigger "what-ifs", tbh.
Re: Neville, I will say that the guy has done his job completely perfectly since getting to the main roster. I always thought going with him instead of Ricochet was dumb, and still do, but he's made a good case for himself as someone who could be an upper-card mainstay for several years, have a good IC run or two.

They went past that in '06 and '08 thanks to the Kurt-Joe rivalry.

It's a holiday show - so it won't be "big", but that could mean they let the guys just go wrestle for a long time - so cool.

Oh cool, maybe they'll have a decent crowd. Not because of the arena, that place is a shithole, meant more because it's in a metropolitan area.

Says who? I thought the Kurt-Joe rivalry was incredibly underwhelming compared to Joe in the X Division.
The cast of Entourage is on tonight. I hope they don't get too wild and crazy. Lana's single now so she better watch out for Drama.

Vince giving Ronald Reagan the rub

They had the entire roster recite a fairly generic Ronald Reagan speech?
I. Uh. Sigh.

Why do I get the feeling Vince still wishes Reagan was President?
He probably still thinks he is.

So I can't believe I'm watching raw but here we go
Because he's a rich white guy in his 70's.

Missed a few days here, has anyone posted results or thoughts overall on the weekend? I may have to sign up for the on demand stuff.

Time for Steph to compare those who have died for our country to her father's steroid trial.

They did way bigger business with Joe and Kurt than anything else before or after in company history.

So are they saving Reigns winning the WWE title for SummerSlam?

Can they either get to the point or just air that tribute video again.

Ugh. I dont want Reigns to win the Royal 2 years in a row.
It was short lived and they blew it. In 2006 after the first fast the feud ended up Kurt giving Samoa Joe's "girlfriend" in an ankle lock to get another match.
Then in 2008 after Joe's big win they booked him horribly after that.
Wonder if they give Ambrose a title run until July and Rollins wins it back before Brock shows up again.

Oh joy, a contract signing....
Combat is so boring. Someone had the nerves to say it's better then BB
Someone described the game as a mix of terrible and awesome which I think is pretty apt. The good does outweigh the bad though in my opinion.
A table will be flipped and broken as well.
Having beaten the game I'm pretty used to the controls at this point. I like the combat a lot too.
