Everything gets odder with Slavic-ness.
Would have been interesting if she started ranting about Roman STUPID! Reigns the way Santino used to do about Jerry Lawler.
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

Last night's episode had Vince's fingerprints all over it.
One bright spot of that was seeing the team of Jericho and Owens. Two talented wrestlers that are just total smarmy assholes to everyone that they run
into, I love it.

Interesting point. Excess focus on the dumb seems to mean more Vince micro-managing. I was thinking that for all the slagging she gets from us a
Stephanie episode seems to stay on track much better. Her shows have dumb stuff on them too but the better parts seem more focused and less
scatter-brained. Like, why make a deal about Jinder Mahal returning then dump him on Main Event instead of giving him five or ten minutes with Heath
on RAM? Why start all the build-up for Rollins/Balor without Finn even being there? Ditto with Nia Jax where she should have dismembered another
hapless tiny person like Strowman did? Definitely not one of their better shows and it deflated RAM pretty badly compared to what they did in the
first two weeks after the draft.

I must admit I find it humorous when you think the onscreen product makes a difference to how the back of house production works.

I'll take that to mean that you think that after two weeks Bukukky Dunn escaped from his crate and got the orange gag-ball out of his mouth last
night and caused all sorts of tomfoolery resulting in a mediocre production.
