Paid Members mim731 Posted June 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 I wonder if Vince had plans to say something a little more pointed but the interim CEO/his lawyers/someone woth the tiniest bit of self awareness convinced him it was a bad idea?

Paid Members Supremo Posted June 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 Big Dave using a 90s web cam to appear on CNN, with that headline, is peak pro-wrestling madness. Looks like something mocked up for a Fantasy Booking competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how many of those that defend Vince have had daddy issues in their past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Sounded to me like canned cheering during his segment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, when you watched the crowd you could see them clapping and cheering for him. So even though it was probably sweetened, watch the reaction from the crowd.

You could see a few in the background but the ones it showed you on screen may not have been legit from last night. Someone pointed out WWE using as much as 10 year old fan shots on a recent PPV.

Marc Ambush Solo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 7 hours ago, Matthew said: Yeah I thought it was surprising the amount of people still applauding him as he walked out Why? You just have to keep in mind that the majority of the people who attend the WWE shows (besides being kids) just aren't as aware about what's going on behind the scenes, as we are, and don't know whats happening most of the times! They just follow the shows on TV and attend the shows when they are local! They aren't as obsessed with wrestling as we are and visit all the dirtsheets for the latest news and such... (ANd yes I know the main stream media has picked up on the news, but not with extensive covarage!). It's the same reason why those people still enjoy watching the tv shows and attending the live shows... Unlike us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 To cut the crowd some slack, if you look at the longshots they were very subdued. Most were standing with their arms down in a "Let's see what this is all about" mentality. I also thought I could hear some audible booing under the piped in stuff. Mad to think that Triple H and Vince's probable retirement angles together fill the length of a squash match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members unfitfinlay Posted June 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 So that was just a dick waving exercise then? I can’t see any other reason for it than to show the board that he isn’t arsed, will still get cheered and isn’t planning to go anywhere.

Mr Kennedy Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Well that was just fucking weird. Was this a goodbye? Or just Vince going out there for an ego boost to see if the WWE Universe still cheer him? Or just a massive “fuck you” to everyone going after him?

DavidB6937 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 The promo combined with the ending of the show was absolutely the biggest "fuck you I'm still in control" he could've done. Pure Vince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted June 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 It was a message to the shareholders that he's still in control and the company is still strong. Proper George Bluth stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members quote the raven Posted June 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 I can only imagine him in his office ranting and raving like the scene from the Wolf of wall street "im not fucking leaving" That promo is prime vince ego.

d-d-d-dAz Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) It was the oldest PR trick in the book. A simple show of defiance - ‘I’m not ashamed, I’m still here, I’m not going anywhere.’ It’s the politician caught with their pants down but trying to cling on tactic.
