You're the one that put the match together despite Taker being broken down and Goldberg not being the safest of workers at his peak, let alone coming back for one match after years away, Vince. Stupid fuck.

This sucks because Bruce Prichard does the definitive Vince impression and it's not on the list. They could show the STWW Network show or better yet audio of him singing Stand Back better than Vince.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
As was predicted, Raw last night, in doing 2.13 million viewers, did the lowest mark in its modern history with the exception of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
The Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors game five did 18.22 million viewers in the United States, and was the sole reason for the record low number, even coming after a pay-per-view when Raw traditionally gets a bump.
The game actually only went against hours two and three of Raw, as Jimmy Kimmel and the NBA Countdown was in the 8 p.m. hour on ABC.
The previous non-holiday low was April 29, which did 2.16 million viewers.
Raw was seventh for the night on cable, trailing news shows on FOX News and MSNBC. The basketball game was on ABC.
This was the last NBA playoff game against WWE programming, as the sixth game is on Thursday and if there is a seventh game, it would be on Sunday.
The show had a 19.8 percent first-to-third hour drop, which isn't record levels, but it among the biggest drops of all-time.
To show where viewers left, women 18-49 dropped 31 percent from the first to third hour, men 18-49 dropped 15 percent, teenage girls dropped 63 percent, teenage boys actually increased ten percent, and over 50 dropped 18 percent. It is notable that during a hot basketball game, that it was women, by far, turning off Raw more than men, even though in the 18-49 demo, the basketball game had a 66-34 male skew.
The three hours were:
8 p.m. 2.38 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.09 million viewers
10 p.m. 1.91 million viewers

According to Meltzer the YOLO County tag team championships skit was meant as a diss at AEW.

Err, I can only remember that happening to one other wrestler and he's a guy who likes talking about how bad he wants to anally rape people.

People were wondering what Dana Warrior writes and it turns out she does Lacey Evans angles.

You haven't seen it because Dana's lawyers work to get it and his old blog posts scrubbed from the internet, according to Vice. She even had the blogs where he made racial comments after Hurricane Katrina removed from archive.org.

He also tweeted he thinks Dave is doing his "read between the lines" gimmick about Vince having dementia, which is interesting.

Yeah I saw that. If he had dementia, would they let him invest so much in the XFL?

Mike/Maria have re-signed to WWE for 5 years. Surprised they signed for that long as they wanted out of their deals a while ago.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
It was probably a really good money offer that they couldn't refuse with a baby now. I am sure AEW would take them, but probably not as big money since nobody cares about Mike Bennett and they don't need Maria since Brandi does what Maria would do. Although if the Good Brothers come to AEW they could have done the angle they did in New Japan where the Good Brothers are in love with Maria even though she doesn't like them because that was funny. But WWE on the other hand is signing people to huge deals just to sign them so AEW can't.
