Why would Retribution get a promo package if they're trying to destroy the company?, All i am asking for is logic WWE. Same reason why CNN showed the rioters that were destroying their buildings.

Remember when those rioters were hitting the sidewalks outside of CNN with baseball bats and steel pipes? Or when they spray painted "CNN" all over the place? Despicable stuff.

As brutal a comparison as that is, at least CNN had the police there to stop them from getting inside. Rioters weren't in the production room screwing with the broadcast. Nobody was turning lights on and off on live tv. CNN protects their business, but tough guy, no nonsense, egomaniac, billionaire Vince McMahon gets walked on by some nobody goofs in masks? It doesn't matter who they turn into, because THESE nobodies right now are the ones punking Vince. Vince McMahon let these "vandals" do this to his company with no response. I don't buy it. As far as Vince is concerned, continuity wise, it doesn't make sense.

orton/mycintre was a good outing
i thought the screens looked really great but that the crowd sounds were really lame. maybe if they had the people at home on the screens able to press a button to let their response be known it could seem more organic.

I liked this match too. I read the finish here before I watched it so I wasn't as shocked, but given the star power I wouldn't have expect it. In AEW I'll see a Shooting Star Press, 3 Canadian Destroyers, and 450 Splash and the guy will kick out. A backslide out of nowhere is interesting.

Ugh, he should've stayed away longer... honestly, he's not been missed one bit - largely, because he has no star quality to miss. Now they're going to feed the Fiend to this fool. Oh, and nice rip-off of Stone Cold's 'Arrive. Raise Hell. Leave' shirt... Pity Reigns is nothing at all like Austin - and never will be. Don’t know how you can say Roman has no star power lol Because to me, he doesn't -never has, and never will. Whenever someone like Austin, 'Taker, Rock, Michaels, HHH, Cena or Punk went away for any length of time, it was noticeable, because they were all massive personalities, and cornerstones of the show... and their absence left a gaping hole in the show - I can't say the same for Reigns. If Reigns had this supposed star power, then his absence would've had an effect on the show... as it is, he's barely been missed - Bryan's presence has been missed more - and the product hasn't suffered at all - although it surely will now, he's back,and once they restart the process of feeding talent to him. Because it's complete nonsense.

It's been his reaction pretty much every other time a faction or superstar has been disruptive - whether they were "employed" at the time or not: Austin most weeks during their feud... The WCW/ECW invasion... Matt Hardy's return in 2005... Nexus... John Cena after he got fired because of Nexus... Pipebomb CM Punk... Awesome Truth... Ronda Rousey... Becky Lynch... It's no more illogical now than it has been for the last twenty-something years. And you think those are comparable with what you're seeing happening now with Retribution? Yes. All of those people and groups trashed WWE property, and/or attacked WWE staff, and/or insulted or attacked the McMahon family or vandalised their possessions. And all of them were given air time afterwards. This isn't a new thing. It's been the case in mainstream American wrestling since the NWO started out in WCW in 1996. And when tang is currently REEEEing it, you should know it's a bad take.

All those years of Vince fighting back, and now some no-name masked goofs have apparently brought him to his knees? Weeks of ruining his television and a PPV and Vince has done nothing. Does that sound like Vince McMahon to you? If Steve Austin walked to the ring on Raw next week, stood up on that middle turnbuckle and poured himself a glass of Merlot and sipped it down would you not think it was odd behaviour? Vince McMahon acting neutered doesn't raise that same question?

Nexus were wrecking the joint for months before they had to wrestle. Matt Hardy was rewarded with a contract for disrupting the show for a few weeks while “fired.” It’s a silly thing to be tanging about. But maybe Vince will appear next week and fight them all off or have them arrested while he cuts a promo on them, and nobody will cry that he’s an egomaniac and he’s overshadowing the talent and burying the young guys.

Yes because rookie wrestlers who work for Vince attacking the main roster is exactly the same as unknown masked bandits repeatedly showing up and setting fires and breaking things. Hopefully he does show up next week and fight them all off. That would be more Vince McMahon-like than anything we've had from him in the past 3 weeks. See, you're catching on.

Yes because rookie wrestlers who work for Vince Wade Barrett was the only one of Nexus who worked for Vince. The others were unsigned criminals, who then got rewarded with contracts. Maybe Vince just played along with it because he knew Cena would be able to beat them. Maybe he knows Roman will be able to beat these new guys.

They got the words on Reigns' new shirt wrong... Instead of "wreck everyone & leave", it should say "ruin everything and leave" - although I'd be happy if he just left.

Good news, CM Punk is coming back (along with Bryan who are the leaders of retribution), check out the thread by 2fresh. Celebrate long into the night man, maybe Charlotte will be part of it also.

As long as Roman doesn’t beat the Fiend then I can tolerate him.
I wonder if Fiend beats Roman will he go back to his old teeth? I kid. I kid.

Cool story, bro. The bad news is that I seem to have acquired a forum stalker...
