At least it's not the first time they hired people who had no interest in wrestling. They had a "comedian" on raw back in the what? early 90s mid 90s, that didn't know wrestling and helped to ruin an already bad show when he was on commentary. Vince never learns his lessons
You mean Rob Bartlett? He was one of the original commentators for Raw for their first three months. Replaced by Bobby Heenan in April of that year.
I thought it was six weeks. I didn't find him awful except when he kept asking the same questions. He hasn't aged well. He's 63 or something and looks 20 years older. I'm amazed he isn't in the Hall of Fame yet or asked to return for one of those Raw reunion shows.
Another insufferable person capitalizing black and unfunny. Great.
"Wha...what do you mean Bianca Belair has to be punched by Charlotte? She should just duck out of all her offense and pin her easily!"
To be fair, Adnan quit because he couldn't handle juggling his own show and the commentary at the same time. As for writers, they want people with backgrounds in TV instead of wrestling.
WWE wants their show to be like a soap opera, but the thing with soap opera's is that they have this thing called continuity, unless an actors character dies, that breaks a few things.
Wrestling was shit when I was 13-15 years old. You either had New Generation wrestlers who were going no where and having terrible matches or Hogan and his Legion of Doom and nothing else. Maybe the short lived Sting storyline with the Four Horseman and the new Four Horsemen after that. Seriously, the only good wrestlers on television were Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Owen Hart in WWE and Flair, Sting, Arn, and Pillman in WCW.
Damn son! And here I was waiting for Jim Cornette to crown her as the new Russo.
This is a net loss if it means Bobby Ashley is surrounded by fewer bitches.
He had Paul though. Yes Men are no different.
Given that apparently it had nothing to do with fan reaction to the news, chances are she wasn't allowed to say what she said on the podcast or maybe not even allowed to be on it in the first place.
It's happening often within the media world. Some youngster decides to blab ahead of time that they'll be working for some company. Get chopped before the final hurdle.
Yeah, younger people need to learn what the prohibition period means for jobs. I bet she'll cry racism in a few days.
