How about Vince McMahon involved in a sex scandal just like the GOOD OLD DAYS: https://www.complex.com/sports/vince-mcmahon-affair-former-wwe-employee-3-million-agreement
How about Vince McMahon retiring as a result of said sex scandal: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...e-mcmahon-retires-amid-misconduct-allegations
He was a great tv character back in the day, but he was also an insane, racist, old prick (and probably a rapist) Surreal to see him go though. I doubt we'll see any immediate change but in time we could see a major overhaul to WWE creative...and I might actually want to watch more than a couple of shows per year.
Brock Lesnar walked out of Smackdown because he only deals with Vince lol: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/...-smackdown-following-vince-mcmahon-retirement

I guess they offered him a shitload of money to return, because he was on the show.
As we all bake in the heatwaves, the temperature just dropped in hell
Just saw that Triple H has been named head of WWE Creative. I wonder if that might be a co-role with Paul Hayman. I don't really know how the backend of WWE works, but it would be nice to see better stories, especially with the news that Raw was going back to TV 14 eventually.
Okay, Brock Lesnar destroying the ring with a tractor was fun.
I saw a picture of him and he seems to be having a ton of fun. I think that's the first time I've seen a giddy smile from him.
To be fair, if it hadn't been Bray I think the attendees might have stormed the ring.
With HHH in charge, I'm actually excited about WWE for the first time in about a decade.
I could watch Gunther and Sheamus beat the hell out of each other every night.
Well, I will be upfront about me being a Jim Cornette guy and a pre-2001 wrestling fan. Started with WCCW then the AWA then WWF and lastly NWA/WCW.
Favorite tag team: Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs, Chris Adams/Gino Hernandez and The Midnight Express.

One thing I still get a kick out of today is when the writers tried to turn the Road Warriors, also known as the Legion of Doom, from fan favorites into bad guys... but it didn't work. The fans loved them no matter how bad they were, even though they beat up Sting (in his pre-Goth persona), who was super popular. So after a few months as bad and a few more as "neither-nor" (I remember a great 3-on-3-on-3 match featuring them once), they finally quietly went back to being heroes.
I've mostly been watching Stardom (Japanese women's promotion) lately.
