I’ve just seen Sheamus and McIntyre are now called The Banger Bros. Vince is back baby.
The tag title match on Smackdown was silly but rather fun, and while the running popcorn gag with Zayn / Heyman / Reigns watching it is pretty dumb I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at it.
I love Zayn.
I wonder if they'll give Zayn a little title run after all this like they did with Kofi Kingston, obviously to be quickly ended by Owens turning on him for the 76th time.
I assume they'll stick with KO / Zayn taking belts off the Usos after Reigns beats KO at Mania then Zayn at whatever the next PPV after that is once they boot him out of the Table Club, but really the payoff to this should be Zayn being the one to beat Reigns.
What the consensus about Vince, then? Is he back in a ceremonial role or is he actually back running the show, pal?
I'd have thought he's either doing everything or he's not there at all, no in between
You would have to hope given it's fairly unanimous among anybody whose name doesn't resemble Bins McFlange that the show is consistently competent and not infrequently much better than it had been before if they let him in it's purely to help them get the sale over the line then he can take his cut and fuck off but that's probably wishful thinking on my part.
For now he's as he was before he stepped away. A lot of talk says he just wants control of selling the company though.
So why is he selling up? I find that quite surprising that he’d be okay with his family losing control of the company.
Presumably he can't have his old role so he'd rather sell up. He's a very petty man, remember.
What part of the last few decades made you think Vince gives a shit about any of his relatives?
True. After all, Vince was the Higher Power when Stephanie got crucified by the Ministry of Darkness.What part of the last few decades made you think Vince gives a shit about any of his relatives?
Surely he cares a little too much for Steph.What part of the last few decades made you think Vince gives a shit about any of his relatives?
He's pushed her for an incest story line a few times. When she obviously said fuck off no, he went well then what if Shane was the dad instead.
Vince (and the other one) was obsessed with incest angles.
Incest sells.
And this is why Steph is dead to him. Wouldn't even fuck her own dad.
Selfish bitch.
I never thought I’d say this but Jeff Jarrett has been great lately.The Darby/Sting promo was great. The Jay Lethal one really wasn’t.I don’t think anybody in the world would miss him and JJ. Can’t believe they’ve got them feuding with the Acclaimed while FTR aren’t doing anything.

Looks like Steph has refused another incest angle.
And Vince is back at the head of the table.
Sold to the Saudis, lol.
Those two idiots who got LA Knight got lumped with last year will be getting beheaded at the next PPV.
At least MJF's "I'm off to WWE in 2024" cheap heat bits will cease. No way does a Jew get involved with these nutters.

There was always the jokey rumours about Vince McMahon buying Newcastle, this doesn't come that far off
Gives him some material though.
Also looking forward to Max Caster’s thoughts.

In a world of minor coincidences, Cov were officially taken over yesterday by a new owner which fuels speculation that it'll eventually facilitate a sale to the evil Sports Direct empire, and the chairman resigned.
Now let me tell YOU something, BROTHER.
Bah god that's allah's music
It's unfortunate timing for the one Saudi wrestler on the roster to have a homoerotic gimmick.
AEW just got a whole lot appealing again. Triple H was the worst thing to happen to them.
It'll be interesting how AEW deal with this because I imagine a lot of Triple H talent will become available again in the next 12 months, and talent they might have expected to leave for WWE like FTR and Miro might not now.
Come back Cody
And bring Brandi.
I'm a twit
Andrade must be busy deleting a lot of tweets at the moment.
Cody has missed the entire Triple H era. He was very much a Vince signing.
I missed that she'd actually resigned.
All those "backstage atmosphere is the best it's been in years" stories gone for a Burton.
Losing interest in getting a ticket to MITB.
It'll be in Jeddah now anyway.
Blood Money in the Bank, live from Jeddah. Streaming exclusively on Peacock!
What're the prices likely to be?
I'd pay almost anything for front row facing the TV camera of Dynamite in England.

You'd have loved the old PROGRESS shows. The whole crowd just wanted to get themselves over.
The basic "VIP" nosebleeds are like £350 and you're not getting too much more outside of your seat:
Unless the hat is made out of gold or something.
Clash at the Castle was £46 for a cheap seat and £700 for the most expensive (no idea what the VIP prices were) but that was in Cardiff at a 74k stadium. This is London prices so £100 for a cheap seat and £1000 for the most expensive?
Ariel Helwani's saying the Saudi thing isn't confirmed and the original tweet that claimed it was is now gone. The most wrestling way for this all to go is for Shahid Khan to buy it and batter his son.
Well the stock hasn't been frozen so it's obviously not finalised but it looks like there's something there in principle. There's a user on Reddit who is clearly a WWE employee because he pops up now and again with inside info and it is always correct. He posted about 12 hours ago saying the Saudi sale is agreed. On his past record I'd be inclined to believe it's going to happen.
I look forward to Sami Zayn being quietly written out of the Bloodline story because I can't imagine he'll want to work for that lot.
Actually the Reddit guy just said sale agreed, he didn't mention Saudis. They might all be working for NBC yet.
I just hope whoever buys it also gets a controlling share in Tout, still the best social media network.
And Roman having to put The Wise Man through a table or something
Vince being sued by a WWE shareholder already.
Great end to the best of 7 Trios matches.
Taz on commentary is so good. I love him.
Also burst out laughing at the Ricky Starks and Jake Hager ‘slap your face off your face’ exchange.

Internet reckons Cocaine Tony fancies a bid for WWE. No idea if there's a shred of truth to it but that'd be a laugh.
