    1) HAhahahano.
    2) Even if he did I think he'd carny his way though the interview and it would be awful.

    Vince gone.
    Johnny Ace gone.
    Brock gone.
    Dunn almost certainly gone when HHH and Stephanie take over.
    Pritchard almost certainly gone for the same reasons.

    Heyman might get forced out because Stephanie fucking hates him but I'll take that deal. He's had no creative major input for years now and I'd love to see what ECW with WCW's money AKA AEW does with him.

    What's Paul's working relationship with Taz like?

    On the flip side, how many AEW people are more willing to jump to WWE now? Like there are a ton of HHH’s guys there at the moment who I’d bet are more willing to reconsider a new WWE with HHH and Steph at the helm.

    If anything it probably gives MJF a HUUUUUGE upgrade in negotiation power

    I for one am incredibly excited to see DDT President Sanshiro Takagi parody this in his 5th fake retirement announcement at Peter Pan next month.

    Yeah I ain't believing shit about retirement from this carnie industry.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    As long as he's the majority shareholder Vince is going to continue to exercise ultimate creative control in WWE regardless of what job titles he does or doesn't have.

    Cultaholic is reporting that the plan is to attempt to bring in Goldberg to replace Brock at Summerslam

    My reasons for not being able to get into the WWE weren't necessarily Vince as a person, it was more his decisions. I find the roster kind of shallow in that PPVs seem to be very repetitive, and the camera work is just too frantic for me. On the flip side, the few times I tried watching, I was super impressed by the women's division.

    So, if they lightened up the focus on the two or three big hitters and shared the limelight a bit, and slowed down the camera work a bit, I would give them a try (but I would have years ago).

    Of all the lines in the Pipebomb promo that one probably aged the poorest considering how good NXT was for years and how immediately dog shit it turned when taken away from Hunter.

    It got pretty rough in the last years he was in control too, though.

    Who ran VGCW? Get them in charge of creative.

    PWInsider.com is told that there's been a pretty positive reaction in the locker rooms in regard to Vince McMahon's retirement.

    While there is some surprise given it was Vince and the belief he would always be around in some form, the idea that there would be a new "energy" for WWE creative has a lot of talents excited to see what comes next. The belief among the younger talents that a younger vision creatively will help the company connect better with the overall audience.

    There's also been a lot of wondering what his exit means for the remainder of the executive circles beyond Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and Nick Khan.

    There's also been some who have noted they wished they could have at least said goodbye to Vince personally face to face and hoped he would be at Summerslam so they could do that.

    Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Ludwig Kaiser is set for Smackdown.

    I for one am ready to watch a 30 minuute Nakamura vs Kaiser match eat up time while they frantically try to figure out how to pilot this multi-billion dollar business.

    I mean Trips may be better at creative but he’s still a pretty bad human being in his own right.

    So who's the 'Break Glass in case of Emergency' opponent for Roman at SummerSlam if Brock is gone? I could see AJ Styles. He's one of the few wrestlers active who hasn't had a legit shot in forever and could win and nobody would ask a single question about it.

    Who is most likely to finally give us the Roman Reigns vs Giant Tiger dream match? That's who I want running the evil empire next.

    Apparently, it's Goldberg. Seth can also hop into a Roman feud instantly

    anyway thanks for the advice earlier, there's a shitton of seats next to the hardcam still so I might get one of those. The problem is none of my friends like wrestling, I don't have a car, and it would be too late for the buses, so it would be a truckload of money for an Uber back home, gotta figure something out

    Where's the show? Might be someone here or elsewhere online going. Pay for a full tank of gas and you're probably still paying less than the Uber.

    Imagine having seeded the top wrestling company in the world so fucking badly that in an emergency you call on Goldberg.

    I can't tell sometimes where the targets are with WWE, anymore, because this isn't fair to like...multiple guys who have proven themselves to be main eventers, specifically against Roman Reigns. You mean to tell me that they couldn't spin up a Seth Rollins feud with one promo and have it be extremely effective? Because they proved they could pull that off earlier this year. Kevin Owens gave Reigns arguably his best feud of this entire run. Drew McIntyre main evented against Lesnar at a Wrestlemania. Edge and AJ Styles can hop into a main event program in minutes. I'm sure they'd like to run Riddle back out there, eventually.

    Their problem isn't that they haven't built up main event talent, their problem is that, as a company, they can't let the past go. I'm also sure they're hoping pulling a huge name like Goldberg out will be enough of a distraction from why they needed someone like Goldberg to be in the match that they can get through the show.

    Or Heyman got in his ear.

    The only reason Brock would leave is if he thinks the money is gonna dry up. He's been holding Vince up for huge paydays for the last like 10 years and there is a very real chance that Nick Khan looks at that on the balance sheet and says 'nah'.
