LOL Get ready to take an L directly, Vince.

I mean, it will certainly help stop the ratings freefall to have Vince on-screen, but whether or not it'll translate to actually regaining traction or not is another story altogether. First thing that came to my mind when I saw this though...

If I were Vince I'd straight up take the belt from Lesnar and start a 16 man tournament to crown the new Universal Champion. A new Deadly Games Tournament. I legit JUST watched that. Who gets to wrestle the "legend" as Vince called him that night Dwayne Gill?

Who gets to wrestle the "legend" as Vince called him that night Dwayne Gill? Same. I've been marathoning every Survivor Series show from 1987 on. This was the first time I watched that one since it originally aired. I forgot about all the little subtleties like Bossman getting involved in all of The Rock's matches, "accidentally" helping him win. And Mankind having an easier bracket, with Gill, the winner of Snow/Jarrett, then a chance of getting Regal or X-Pac, prior to the double count out. And Kane out-smarting The Undertaker was brilliant. Say what you want about Russo's booking, but that was Crash TV done right. Back when Vince knew how to edit, rather than needing to be edited.

I'm wondering what the endgame on all this is. He's coming back to "shake things up" right after an episode where they went super-meta regarding the show's quality. It's like they're purposely torpedoing the show or the concept or something so that they can change things up drastically, and not just something like a draft.

I've been thinking about it since I saw it posted on here, but Vince is really unequipped to earn back ratings in the modern era. He keeps trying stuff assuming people tune in for the same reasons and with the same patterns they did 20 years ago.

I know it probably won't happen but I would love for WWE to have to confront the idea of a third straight week of record low viewership. It's not going to happen, but just to see what they do when their usual band-aid bombs. Or if they do anything at all. Either way this is all pretty transparent and I honestly don't think it will lead to anything in the practical long run of things

So the solution is to do the same damn thing they've done for 20 years with the tired ass Mr. McMahon character.
Ok.

Shake things up? Superstar Shakeup and a metric shitload of Stephanie.
That’s what it is.

I’m getting major Bischoff and Russo retconning the titles in WCW vibes (not that I think this is what that is but the fact that it doesn’t seem *that* far fetched is saying something)

The fact that they have to rely on a near eighty year old non-wrestler, to boost interest, is why the ratings are in the state they are.
