That's a very good point and I guess not what I had in mind, simple as it is. I was thinking in terms of the usual media coverage they do.

I love him but I don't see it. He's a great guy but I don't see that he's gonna hit much more popularity than he already has by going onto more daytime shows or anything. On the other hand, I think Big E has more you could get out of him on that front. Like Bryan, he's a decent guy and a funny guy, but he also looks like what people would expect a wrestler to look like. That might seem an outdated notion but I think to someone flicking through they'll instantly identify with him being a wrestler. Not that I'm saying Big E will be more successful, just that there's more potential extra you could get from him than has already been achieved (that WWE won't reach for a number of reasons).

Amen about MITB and the wasted opportunity of telling the story of Big E winning it. Granted, I don't watch WWE these days, but that would have brought me back in as I've felt for ages that he could be the face of the company. This feels cold (to me who doesn't watch but clearly there's those who do watch in this thread who'll feel differently). I was gonna say it feels like it'd be hard to take MITB away without fans feeling like it's something being taken away from them but I guess they did it with King of the Ring after 2002 which was fine.

Gasolina was voted the 50th best song of all time. I'm out.

I did that this past weekend at New Order 😬 the guy is about 6'4, 18 stone and I'm 6'3. In fairness, it wasn't my idea and I felt I didn't deserve to be up there as I barely know any New Order songs so came down after a couple of minutes. In general I don't mind people on shoulders as it adds to the atmosphere for me.

I'm conscious I give that vibe off but only use my phone to put my reps in on an app straight after doing them. I have a PT so it's to log it for them too. I don't generally take more than a minute or two doing it but still don't wanna be seen as 'one of them'.
