LOl Triple H just took a jab at seven hour PPVs and then said “lol don’t read anything into that..” and basically walked it back to WWE used to have those PPVs.

What is Barrett talking about getting fined for his comments on Punk?

I didn’t understand that at all either.

I looked it up. Apparently it has to do with this:

Kayfabe is alive and well

Thanks!!! I couldn’t find anything.

Gunther is definitely dropping that title to Cena.

If it gets Cena his 17th making him the GOAT and he passes the torch in the end, I won't be unhappy with that.

I don’t know why WWE don’t pre-screen the questions, it’s a worked carny event not a press conference from the White House.

Every time Vince gets brought up there’s never a good answer.

That would probably draw criticism. Likely hoping they eventually get bored of the nothing answers but that’s highly unlikely for a long time well after until the entire Vince drama concludes. It’s a tough spot.

I have no idea why they do them. It’s wrestling. A theatre director doesn’t take questions from the press after a show. I find it bizarre.

I have seen a lot of people online hating this PLE, I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I also don’t see a blown mens mintb. It just helps further the story.

I thought the men's MITB match was good. Not THE best I've seen and not better than the women's IMO, but good.

It was a great PLE.

I think President Biden is going through some tough criticism Right now because his staff sent questions to a radio host who went public about it. I don’t know the fullness of it (also.. don’t care.. I just saw it on Reddit) but it seems like for authenticity reasons, they don’t want to do that.

Cody had a great response. Triple H did good last night by saying I can’t comment on legal proceedings.

And I didn’t mind Cena’s response either. Which was basically: I don’t want to focus on that… and I already answered the question.. go find it if you’re interested.

I liked Cena’s response and he was quite right. It’s about HIS retirement.

Easy way to solve all of this.

Give all the titles to Bron Breakker.

Watched clips of the event but the consensus is this was a bad PPV.

Also what does PLE stand for? Because nobody calls it a PPV anymore.

Planned Live Event I believe.

Feels weird even saying it I can't get down with everyone typing it like it's a normal phrase.

It's Premium Live Event.

It was a good PLE, I don't know what people are talking about.

Both MITB matches were fun, and the conclusion of the World Title match was great stuff. This feud between Drew and Punk is fantastic. And, the main event, I think I enjoyed that the most - everyone looked great, The Bloodline killed it.

I thought it was a decent show. All the matches were good or better. I might not have liked some of the outcomes (I’m looking at you Damian Priest), but it was a good show from top to bottom and I think it set out to do what it was meant to do which is further feuds and storylines heading into SS.

I remember Taylor Hawkins being asked if he was one of the best drummers in the world, and he replied with, he wasn't even the best drummer in Foo Fighters.

Priest is the same. He's perhaps the second best option in Judgement Day to be a World Champion and maybe the least interesting character outside of JD, who isn't fully realised yet as anything more than a hanger on.

He's not bad, he's good. But there so many other guys who are better.

Yo I think it’s only fitting that @jtj starts a brand new thread for John Cenas Final Tour.

I think he deserves his own thread for this final run and I think Jeff is the guy to do it.

Thanks boss but I don’t need the glory for this one. I’m just glad we are going to get twelve solid months of Cena in the WWE before he bows out.

If it leads to Cena dropping the title to Theory, then do it!!

ATOWN DOWN!!

That’s a weird way to spell Charlotte Flair.

I thought it was great, exceeded my expectations a little even. MiTB never gets old for me. Drew/Punk has he my hyped, but if Punk kicks out of 5 Claymores when they finally meet, please put me out of my misery.

+1 for Cena thread if it didn't get made yet. I'm ready to gush, the time is now....

I'm having trouble getting used to that. Sounds more "performance enhancing drug" than "live event" to my caveman brain.

I don't see why they even ask these questions anymore. They've already answered it 20 times over and HHH's answer is valid. It's PR 101. None of them are going to cut off their nose to spite their face and none of them can bring him to justice. All they can do as a performer is focus on keeping their own backyard clean and as a company more forward and make it so the stuff that was allowed to happy under Vince's reign doesn't happen again.

So why not pre-screen the questions to begin with?
It’s a worked environment.
