Seems? You (we) know they definitely do.

 

They don't go deep into it really at all, but its nice that they talk about Bubba's TNA run in the Dudley's dvd.

 

I think it's pretty garbage to say she'd still be alive today if it weren't for WWE or that they led her on a downward spiral. It was 15 years ago, and yes that may be when her problems were triggered but she's had that long to turn it around and unfortunately couldn't do it. It's horrible but to blame WWE for her death is ludicrous.

There's no denying they treated her shitty but WWE are a worldwide entertainment company, not a rehabilitation centre. They've got an image to protect, especially now they're geared towards a younger generation.

Shitty things happen to people every single day. People get dumped, fired, evicted etc. Some end tragically, some overcome it, but the person who fired you or broke up with you cant be held accountable.

I don't deny they could have done something to reach out to her but it was 15 years ago and she's been on a collision course for years and years. It's simply not WWE's place to fix her life after that length of time, especially after she'd actively tried to tarnish their image.

 

Did Shane attacking Miz make Smackdown? I watched the Sky version, and it seems pretty clear they left a few dark segments in. It was some great heel work by Miz

 

So like I think these guys could both use some mic lessons

 

Jericho and Owens walking together backstage picking on those random dudes I would love for them to tag more than this.

 

Hmmm...

Set up for Balor debuting at Payback????? Wonder if it's in fact a canon title change.

 

So, er, Samoa Joe just won the NXT title at a live event

 

jinx

 

Whoa

 

Whoa, that's crazy.

 

Just got the breaking news from the app. Hmm...

 

It seems like it's canon

 

What a way to push your touring brand... seems like from reports in the audience they had legit TV cameras set up so maybe this will go up on NXT in the coming weeks.

 

If they wanted to give Joe the title, why not do it a couple weeks ago on the huge event instead of a house show...

 

Imagine being there lol just damn

 

Probably had Balor win at Dallas so that he would become the longest reigning NXT champion before moving up to the main roster.

As of today, his reign was 5 days longer than Neville's.

 

Idk if I said it here but I'm telling you Balor is def debuting at Payback as the leader of Bullet(proof) Club and attacking Styles, setting up that feud, making Styles look strong still.

Yeah I'd rather have Styles win the title but that's too soon. We're def seeing a lengthy Reigns title...er...reign. Ugh.

 

I forgot about that, I could see that being the case.

 

True

 

And it makes it seem like anything can happen at house shows (garnering further interested in the touring brand, can up ticket prices due to higher demand).

 

Now is as good of a reason as ever for NXT to sign Joe's greatest rival...

 

Smart move to build interest in the touring brand. Can't believe I'm jealous of Lowell, MA.

 

Especially with how AJ was looking at those dudes on Smackdown. There was some annoyance/sarcasm in their looks.

Also, it makes Balor look strong to win at Takeover:Dallas. For fans on the main roster, they might watch that....they probably wont be watching NXT a few weeks from now when the title change airs.

 

Plus losing at a live event protects the mystique of the demon
