Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

Not random they planted this seed back at the Evolution reunion on Raw last October. Batista dropped a fire promo that ended with a great jab at Triple H. [Reply]

Ah true, I barely watch raw these days or keep up with it [Reply]

Yea well they've cultivated this bullshit where the Champion of that show is never around and Seth Rollins isn't cleared to wrestle so they are kinda having to make due with that.
Also for all of the PG posts...the WWE is never going back to the attitude era ever. They have spent years cultivating that they are not that product anymore and guess what it's done? They can get sponsors they never got before...
There's a reason that with fan support down they are turning a 100 million dollar profit. They are not going to flush away all those high end sponsors they have. [Reply]

Yeah. Roman Reigns coming back was pretty damn great and then they immediately fuck that up by spam emailing fans about his t shirt and that ridiculously tacky interview with Corbin. They just can't help themselves. [Reply]

What? Typical Vince would've been to just ignore the Kofi hype since he was just a replacement for Ali, but they've taken it and ran all the way to the bank with it. I like KO as well, but Kofi/Bryan is a WAAAAY better Mania match than KO/Bryan at this point. [Reply]

I agree, and I'm a huge KO fan. I'd be fine with a Triple Threat at Mania too. Or give Kofi his 1v1 shot. Either way is cool. [Reply]

Just the fact that Mustafa Ali has that spot on Smackdown says they are at the least paying some attention. [Reply]
