@JDfromNY206 Completely fair point but I assume Rollins wanted them to follow the traditional point of King of the Ring. It’s not story driven, it’s making an up and coming star. Oba fits that narrative, Seth (clearly based on his promo tonight) is a made man.
Kevin Nash gave his strong thoughts on TKO messing with WWE creative.
“Levesque takes over and everybody loves the direction that he’s carrying the new WWE program into the Netflix era. Lo and behold, like every other business on earth, the f*cking guys above him that don’t have a f*cking clue besides get paid more decide to start sticking their dicks where they don’t need to. ‘We’re going to throw this guy in. Let’s put this guy in. How about him in the main event? We have a $500 million deal that this guy is locked into. While we’re at it, let’s make the arena look like NASCAR.’ It doesn’t take anything away from Paul Levesque, because Paul Levesque still knows what the f*ck he’s doing. If anybody out there thinks this might apply to them, how about leaving the f*cking company alone? Get your f*cking noses out of creative. Go f*ck yourselves. Let Paul run the f*cking company. If you guys want to cut the talent, don’t throw it in Paul’s lap and make him be the bad guy. Don’t tell him, ‘Give me six years of creative process and give it to me by Wednesday. If I don’t see a certain guys name on there, I’m going to cut it by 50%.’ How about just go f*ck yourself. How about you grow a set of balls, you walk in, and you tell them because UFC is bleeding through every tourniquet that they have, we’re going to cut people from WWE to stop the bleeding from the other company. UFC is hemorrhaging money, and WWE isn’t. How about we tell the truth? If something happens and Triple H is no longer at the helm because there is some type of power play, I hope you follow my lead because the minute they f*uck with him, I’ll have nothing to do with that product the rest of my life.”

Having Trout National open is a true full circle moment. What started as a hometown vision is now a reality, built alongside an incredible group of family, friends, and partners who believed in it from the start. Grateful for all of you. Thank you!
@JDfromNY206 Bron is going to win the feud with Seth. Once he does, he takes the title from Roman (already has teased it several times w/o giving us 1on1). Once those storylines are wrapped up, we come full circle w/ Gunther coming to collect his favor.
Need to address the commercial shit. With that said, Night 2 blew Night 1 out of the water.
Roman/Punk: Perfection
Jade/Rhea: Great
Ladder Match: Great
Oba/Brock: Perfection
Trick/Sami: Good; Too Short
Finn/Dom: Good; Too Short
Match Lengths Really Hurt the Card. WAYY too many commercials.
Randy/Cody: Pretty Good; bad ending
Steph/Liv: Good; too short
Gunther/Rollins: Great
Fatal 4 Tag: Below Avg; don’t care
Vision/Uso: Below Avg; too short
Becky/AJ: Good; too short
Fatu/Drew: Good; weak violence
ESPN Sources: former Ravens free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum reached agreement today on a record deal with the Raiders, who are awarding him with a three-year, $81 million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed and makes him the highest paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history.
Product has been pretty rough since Crown Jewel but these are undoubtedly the 2 biggest main events they could have done outside of Seth vs Roman & Punk vs Cody. Question is, can they land the plane on the rest of the card because right now it’s a mess.
