    They're doing the same thing they did 20 years ago.

    One thing we've never talked about here - there used to be this guy in creative with a big chart of intertwining stories week by week. He was there for a few years and I believe finished in 2002? It blows my mind that they didn't and haven't tried to hold continuity since then.

    Wasn't that Chris Kreski? All that I can remember from what I'd learned is that he took over Russo's place, and pretty made much of the Attitude Era after that. Also, I'm pretty sure he died a few years after he got let go.

    From what I've seen on one of his scripts, they can take notes.

    It was Kreski...he was there in 2000 which turned out to be one of their best years for storylines even though Triple H used to make fun of him for writing everything out in an organized story board :snoop:

    If he came in when Russo left that explains how Raw got better, at points anyway.

    Holy s--- @WrestlingBros John Oliver completely thrashed Vince tonight on LWT.

    And unlike in November, when he mentioned WWE for just a minute or two when talking about the Saudi show, tonight WWE, and specially what a s-----y person Vince is, was the main story. He went in on him for a good 15 minutes straight. They even played the clip of Vince saying "n-----" to Cena as he walked by Booker lol

    It was honestly shocking how much he went in on him and how personal it was lol

    It eventually ended up being about how WWE f---s over it's talent with the independent contractor classification, but in the process it gave example after example of how Vince is an evil person and even brought back the classic "wrestlers die way too early and Vince takes no responsibility" story. It ends with them telling fans who are going to WM to hijack the show and chant for Vince to treat his wrestlers better.

    Like I said, it was really somthing....will be interesting to see how much play, if any, this gets next week. They specifically said they running the story because WM is next week.

    Vince was always clearly an arrogant a------. Those born millionaires/billionaires don’t know how good they have it in life. Imagine if Vince was a low class citizen on those steroid charges back in the 90s. He would have been slammed without the best lawyers. You know you can’t talk back to him or he’ll just ruin your career. That’s why I still give Steve Austin props for leaving the WWE, when he was told he was losing to Brock for the title. He didn’t take s--- it seemed.

    And the wwe is still billing me. I’ll just watch wrestlemania at this point then make sure I get into contact with the people who give you refunds when I have solid email proof I unsubbed back in like June.

    Even Austin would tell you he was f----- up then and it wasn't the right call. It wasn't about the job, it was about throwing the story away. Doing a Brock match on random TV with no build would have been silly. Burying Austin after he left is the f----- up part of it all, so stupid.

    The story line between @dna hits and the WWE network is better than anything they got going for Mania, and it’s been building longer too.

    Anyways I hope raw and SD are both solid this week as I’d like to be more hyped for Mania than I am. Going to a baseball game tonight but gonna watch raw afterwords.

    The lady on the phone said since you were charged for royal rumble you’ll be able to watch it then I’ll make sure you don’t get billed after. Saw I got billed checking online Sunday. She said a “secondary email” I had didn’t cancel so that’s probably why I still got charged. This email she said; I randomly made to sell some of our older business equipment with and truck trailers, and was like what are you serious? I go on the email and not a single thing sent by the WWE. Still wonder how they’re saying that’s my backup account or even having to ever give them a backup email. So anyone in the future who cancels make sure a backup account you have that you make sure to be unsubbed. I’ll call weds when I’m off after taking some Kratom and Valium and threaten to sue and s---.

    Anyways, this raw isn’t even worth watching tbh. At least so far. I thought Kurt’s part would be good but just played his old classic antics until that lame a--- wrestler Corbin came out. It really is sort of disrespectful to Kurt for Corbin to be his last opponent. Wonder if Vince is doing it on purpose because Kurt left the company to TNA for years. I could see him stopping that low. I thought maybe they’d get the rock to wrestle Kurt or some legend. I thought him facing Corbin was a troll, but now it seems it’s actually for real. It’ll be a weird wrestlemania without the Undertaker, but his time was over. Those 2 going at it would probably be a disaster.

    I may even record the call so you guys can hear how shady they are. Chilling on a few valium tonight, they’re kicking in nice was hoping this would at least be a good raw to chill to. Hopefully they keep Reigns off or I’m done watching for the night. He’s still a garbage wrestler and a terrible entertainer overall. I think they should go back to attitude era type material. It’s too pc and I literally cringe at myself even watching it sometimes like tonight. They may have a few more professional women wrestlers, but I’m not watching a women’s match with a butch in it.

    Lmao


    Anyway yea i really, REALLY hope this corbin s--- is a swerve


    I think the cena vs angle rumor is meh but anything at this point would be better than corbin, the midcarder of evil.

    I mean i know corbin is basically like a 2019 chief morley n ur not supposed to like him but dude, get this guy off my tv

    Corbin main eventing the last raw before Mania, Corbin being Kurt's last oponent at Mania..WWE's lost their f---in minds if this goes through like that, still think it's possible someone else takes Corbin's place right before the match or something...hope so at least.

    KO is still free, if Cena can't make it or whatever, why not put him in there at least...let him cut a nice promo on Kurt, beat him down a bit then Kurt does a few moves and wins...one last big celebration. Its gonna be a buzz k--- no matter how it goes if it's Baron f---in Corbin..the crowd's gonna feel like they have to cheer to be polite, but they'll hardly be into it I'm guessing and it won't feel like the huge moment its supposed to be.

    KO/Kurt is a good idea. Owens could carry poor Kurt to a good last match. I feel so bad for the guy...he honestly can barley move.

    Even though I'm stoked for Kofi, Owens got his return all f----- up in all this. He was supposed to come back and face Bryan at WM, but clearly they knew that wasn't going to be the plan anymore when they brought him back in that awkward segment when he replaced Kofi for the Fastlane match. They obviously replaced Owens with Kofi in that match because they knew they were going to save Kofi/Bryan for WM so wtf was the point of burning the Owens return on that. They should have just saved KO's return for the night at Mania when he could have comeback to a monster face reaction and did Ali/Bryan at Fastlane.

    Then I thought they were going to go with Owens/Cena, which would have been dope, but Cena wasn't on SD tonight so now idk wtf Cena is doing Sunday. So weird it's now two WM's in a row where Cena doesn't have an advertised match for Wrestlemania.
