does anyone else feel like WWE heard the thing moxley said about vince letting brock ruin his company and immediately rushed to make a super forced and confusing bad boy narrative when all they had was f***ing boombox This absolutely reads like Vince heard about stuff, fixated on the one detail he might be able to do something about, but his idea is that once Brock Lesnar is positioned as the ultimate company-targeted badass cool guy, he'll get mega cheers and that'll prove Moxley wrong. Because Vince is a crazy person.

All they needed to do was leave the boombox stuff out of this, and just had Steph talk about Brock and Heyman saying they would announce who he's cashing in on, only to say "Screw it, we're not letting you know." Right there, that would make perfect sense for an angle, but nope, they've got to lead off and make the boombox stuff the big thing.

All I see in this is that Brock looks enjoyable for the first time in like 6 years and the first thing the WWE do is insert a Mcmahon into the situation.

It's basically how people started calling the NFL 'the No Fun League' after the league office told it's players to stop celebrating so much after scoring a touchdown. Basically if WWE were still called WWF, that would stand for "What? Why Fun?"

Isn't it USA network that's pushing for more McMahons on television?

And how much better the feud got and how much better Becky has been, since they f***ed off

They REALLY don't get that someone shitting all over the company and bilking them out of an exorbitant sum makes them a meta-face, do they?

But who wants to see a story is "These 3 women hate each other, and want to kill each other"? Just because that was the foundation for Becky vs Charlotte vs Ronda, and fans were red hot for it, and the segment where they got arrested and kept fighting was loved, doesn't mean that it's what fans want to see. Obviously the feud needed some convoluted nonsense about Becky not going to a doctor, getting suspended, Ronda giving up the title, and Ronda taking the title back.

So Brock walks out dancing with his briefcase and gets a big pop from the crowd and gets a positive reaction across social media.
“That’s it! The fans love him! He’s a babyface now! We’ll pit him against the family to get him even more over. Good shit!” - Vince, probably

Don't forget Ronda breaking kayfabe at Paul Heyman's insistence.

Becky is so popular right now. Let's get the Mcmahons involved! Man Kofi is really getting hot right now. Let's have Vince suddenly hate him for some reason!

Folks, I agree.
It is completely disrespectful to the Money in the Bank legacy that superstars such as Chris Benoit wrestled for.
FOR SHAME!!!
Seriously, this is lunacy shit and I'm guessing the rest of the fam is spiraling that drain of lucidity just like the old man is.

The worst part of this is the only worthwhile payoff would be a suplex, which obviously isn't happening

I think it's stupid that they even carry around that case. You're going for the contract, not the case. The winner should have to literally just walk around with the contract. A piece of paper, that can easily be lost, stolen, and damaged. Then things can get interesting. Somebody goes to cash in on an injured champ...whoops...what's this? You can't find the contract? Oh well, better go find it. Wanna cash in? Wait...what's this? You spilled something on the contract, and we can't read it? Sorry, go get another one printed up. The match should even be just a contract in a manila envelope hanging above the ring. How big is this contract, that you need I.R.S' old briefcase? I think the thing that bothers me the most about Money in the Bank is that they’ve had that briefcase for almost 15 years and haven’t scratched the surface of creative things to do with it. What happens if a guy loses it? If someone else finds it, can they use it? What if someone steals it? What if a paranoid champion hires some goons to steal it or hide it? What if someone switched the contract in the briefcase with crackers? Why have they been so damn boring with the briefcase!? Pretending it’s a boombox is more than 90% of the winners have done with it.
