Bro-the issue isn’t whether, or not it was Green Screen, or AI Generated. I’ve been saying for YEARS—-get @WWERomanReigns material in the can when he’s there—-to put into the show when he’s there.
That’s SMART.
The problem is in @SamiZayn’s opening promo he made it clear the Roman was not there.
All they had to do was label the pre-tape “Earlier this week”.
Details are just so important.

One of the BIGGEST downgrades ever. 😭
WWE NEEDS to bring back the old IC and US Title designs!

Just saw a podcast with a headline that read, "Disgusting Decision" and it was all about whether, or not, the @WWE will be going to Saudi for "Crown Jewel".
The thing that is absolute BS is that on the thumb nail there was a picture of @TripleH .
Are you serious? You think this is a decision that Trips is making? This is way above his pay-grade. Totally BS to implicate him in any way.
Perfect example of trading moral ethics in for "clicks".

Do people actually respond to what's written on a tweet here, or do they respond to what they wanted to think was written on a tweet?
On time we had Steve Austin leave the show early---guess what---a bulk of the audience left with him. We never did that again.
So when I make a comment I make it out of experience to try and help---not to be "negative".
If you never did it---you don't have a clue.

Byron Saxton needs to be the permanent special announcer for PLEs.
He’s absolutely killing it with these introductions 🔥

Thinking of @JRsBBQ as he goes in for surgery today.
Make no mistakes about it---there is NO ATTITUDE ERA without him and @JerryLawler narrating it. It just doesn't exist.
As the writer of that era I know that---just wanted to make sure you know it too.
Good Bless JR!

Just a major, major fumble last night on @WWE RAW. There was so much they could have done based off the week prior and they literally did nothing.
Creative has to step up their game . . . they have to.

Bro---the FIRST TIME we see the Usos after Jacob gets run down by a car---by their rivals no less---THEY ARE LAUGHING. Go back and watch---THEY ARE LAUGHING.
Is ANYBODY even looking at this show from the inside?
There is ZERO excuse for that and it makes the Usos look both WEAK and like they don't give a S**T.

WWE should do a One Night Stand for NXT and have all the OG talent come out to their old gimmicks and theme songs.

I consider our audience our biggest superstars. Rick Achberger worked as hard as any one of us to spread joy and encourage escaping whatever burden life threw you. Loss affects us all differently. As I process this, I choose to reflect on “Sign Guy” ALWAYS making my days better.

The most successful promoters in my life in the US were Vince, TK, Bischoff and Heyman. They weren't really known for their in-ring skills
Bret Hart claims WWE has issues right now because there’s too many 'idiots' teaching people things…
“WWE is having the problem they are because, that have all these idiots telling people how to wrestle when they don’t know how to wrestle themselves.
That goes for Bruce Prichard too…he doesn’t know.”
(via ITR Wrestling)
I don’t agree with Bret much…BUT FUCK Bruce Prichard #WWENXT

Congratulations to @ImChelseaGreen for delivering not just one of her greatest promos…. But legitimately one of THE GREATEST PROMOS I’ve ever watched. I felt every moment. She felt every word. That is how it should be done. You are a star my love. Everyone should take notes. ♥️🍾

Just such a HUGE difference in a wrestling show when you have segments with shreds, or even hints of reality, compared to the rinse, wash, repeat fake wrestling promo you've heard 1,000 times before.
As a writer if you know you've heard it, or seen it a million . . . COME UP WITH SOMTHING ELSE!!!

.@WWE did some good things on SD tonight.
For any wrestling/sports-entertainment writer it should ALWAYS come down to this. . . .

It’s absolutely amazing to me that after THIRTY YEARS, people still don’t understand that VINCE RUSSO HAS NEVER OWNED A WRESTLING COMPANY.
Whether it be @WWE, WCW, @ThisIsTNA , Rocky Mountain Pro or @jcwlunacy . . . I’ve NEVER had the final say so—NEVER. I’ve always answered to somebody else.
Good, bad, or indifferent—-it was always up to somebody else to make the final call.
Did I have input, stroke, influence—-YES—-but, I never was the one to make the final call.
Maybe one day when I’m 100 or so I’ll own my own wrestling company and I can make the final decisions, but until then—-it’s somebody else saying yes, or no.
