I'm still to this day befuddled why he thought TV fans would care. I get it was probably inconvenient to ticket holders but if I'm watching on TV I don't give a shit where the venue is. It was Stand Up For WWE levels of thinking your audience cares about your grievances. Exactly. Also, You weren’t going to get fans of the Nuggets and Lakers to watch because, hey, guess what, they were probably watching Nuggets/Lakers. And whose going to go “Man, this billionaire’s a right bitch with these arena arrangements, let’s watch this show I might have watched a decade ago and watch this other billionaire bitch about it”? About the best reaction you'd get is...."Oh look rich people problems that I wish I had"

Which is not to say Kroenke isn't a douche. By most accounts he's awful.
But dude wisely had no response cuz he's an adult and not a roided out 70 year old (or whatever his age then) child.

Man that skit was dumb.
Like I was actually on Vince's side until that stupidity.

I mean it's the WWE Replica Title... it's what they've always done they send a WWE title with the side plates. Since that's what changes out for the "Name Plates" I get that, but it's a bit like sending someone a t-shirt with your face on it as a present.

was this the night they had a 5 on 5 match on raw, with Batista holding the basketball looking almost he knew somewhere online it was going to launch a thousand photoshops? He knew people still remembered "Basketballs don't hold grudges." lmao
Chris Van Vliet just did an interview with Dave Bautista about the "GIVE ME WHAT I WANT" exchange and how it got memed on that note.

Two things always make me laugh about that main event.
First Miz wearing a Nuggets jersey in spite of the fact he wore a Cavaliers one earlier in the same night, and secondly how incredibly annoyed Orton looked at being a part of the whole thing (and this was even before he got in the ring with Kennedy).

Given what we've learned about Enos since then? Vince had no idea how horribly right he was.

He said to Vince he actually thought the Nuggets were in the right. Or had a history of people calling him out of his treatment of workers and almost re-injured Orton’s shoulder in a botched back suplex, either or. KENNEDY

It was Stand Up For WWE levels of thinking your audience cares about your grievances. This is a man who dedicated TV time to a series of skits showing Ted Turner as an idiot. Devolving from "his wrestlers are old" to "don't do business with him, Warner Bros". Vince has always been petty.

The tag partner of Von Wagner's father is also an Enos

Sounds like this is Vince's idea of trying to get back in their good graces.

Sounds like this is Vince's idea of trying to get back in their good graces. They give titles like this to many sports teams, and always give a belt to the winners of one of the big 4 sports leagues. Hell, they probably have a room in their HQ in Stamford which has sideplates for everybody in the NFL except the Jaguars.

If Jacksonville ever wins the SB will they hold up the AEW title to really piss on Vince?
