I mean... they hire actors and actresses for those sorts of things, right? Because that chick who played Bayley's friend came off like someone
they'd plucked out of the audience at the last minute, who had zero experience speaking in front of people.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

Some Jimmy C and Sleazy E from last night on Table for 3. Great episode overall. Eric actually came off a bit more measured and calm compared to
Corny. Not to spoil anything but it was nice to see them end it with mutual respect and admiration. That's not to say there weren't a few
tense moments, like in the video I posted. You can see Corny just squirmin' like a motherfuck when Bischoff threw some of his accusations back
at him. Also, Michael Hayes is there in a bright pink silk shirt.
Looking back on their careers it's kinda strange their paths didn't cross more often. Not that it would go anywhere fruitful in
today's puckered and over-scripted WWE, but I would love to see those guys show up again somehow. At least they're both friendly enough
with WWE that they're there in some capacity.

The latest Bruce Pritchard Podcast is about Eric Bischoff in the WWE. He paints Eric in a pretty positive light through most of the show.

Eric seemed pretty chill and humble after he showed up in WWE. He was down with every dumb thing that made Austin do to him, stinkfaces, having Vince
throw him in a dumpster. His ego was pretty much gone at that point. He has a documentary on the Network, and he seemed like a really chill dude.
WCW Eric probably was a psychopath though, yeah.

Doing blow with Hogan, Hall, and Nash every night for five years will do that to you.

Having complete and total control over an entire multi-million dollar wrestling company will do that to you too.

Balor is moving away from the "Demon" gimmick which I'm completely fine with but he's lost the crowd segment that would pop for him
based on "Oooooooooh facepaint and a cool entrance!"
I think he saves the paint for PPV's. I'd imagine that takes a long time to put on and it seems to wear off pretty quick, so after
he's done he has to just chill out and not do much until time for his entrance; I think if he did that every week it would get old, fast. And
then it wouldn't be "special" when he broke it out for a major event.

Apparently even WWE couldn't ignore how poorly received the Skit From Hell was because they've edited the clip of it on their YouTube
channel to eliminate everything prior to Bayley hitting the ring.
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?
