With the ratings in a freefall it sure seems like a great idea to make the McMahons a focus again in 2020. That'll help!

I hope it's to kick off a feud with Kevin Owens. That would be a dream match for me. You know what would make it extra spicy? Hear me out...Elias is guest referee for one of their matches. Ooh no no I don't like that. I love it!

Thought the title said "sighs".
Well, that was my reaction anyway.

If I still had any faith they could do anything genuinely good (and stick with it), I might be intrigued. I don't like getting repeatedly disappointed.
I like Shane, have always liked Shane, but I can't trust that it won't be some dumb non-event or silly match announcement that ultimately means nothing.
Throw in the thread about the tease of a new "totally not political, totally WWE-only, nothing to do with any world events, no-sir, no way, never heard of it, dunno what you're talking about" faction and I can only imagine tonight's RAW is going to be a trash fire that they point to with gleeful pride saying "huh? huh? you like that? huh? check it out! see what we did? that's gotta get you hooked, right? how could you resist?!"
I mean, there's always the chance it'll be better than that, but yeah, "a McMahon is showing up tonight" is rarely a good sign these days, sad though I am to type that given that I used to love it back in the day.

Apparently Shane is coming back to reveal “a new concept” which has been “raising eyebrows backstage”. It’s very clearly a new title. Or third hour being “edgier” than the first two hours. Or every match being two out of three falls matches. My sources tell me that the new Title will be the WWF World Martial Arts Championship.

HHH will be WWE Champion by the end of the year, I can feel it.

I'm holding out hope he's only there so Orton can punt him into oblivion.

If this company does one thing it’s certainly putting smiles on faces, intentionally or not.

It's the start of Summer of Shane! vs. Drew McIntyre. The Demo of the Demos.

Because with dwindling fan interest and a lack of engaging angles, the only thing that can rectify that is a 50 year old non-wrestler who punches about as well as he consistently puts actual talent over. The funniest thing about him is that Sack of Shit McMahon is one of the last proven draws they have. His return (FOUR YEARS AGO) gave a late surge to ticket sales (and I think Network signups) for Mania Hell in a Cell. This idiot stuntman, Mick Foley with a budget, is one of their best Hail Mary shots. SHANE. SHANE MCMAHON. BIG SWEATY LEATHER FOOTBALL FACE MCMAHON. It's no wonder they managed to do that Best in the World shit without irony, none of their actual wrestlers draw any f***ing money any more. Shane McMahon, someone whose total number of wrestling matches must be lower than an average house show year for 80s Hulk Hogan, is the main event big-hitter that WWE deserves.

I hope every idea Shane had for the 90s gets tried out tonight.

Is this their new marketing strategy? Just have wrestling pundits "leak" a whole bunch of rumours every week about the most crazy insane stuff that's "totally probably going to maybe happen"?

I'm holding out hope he's only there so Orton can punt him into oblivion. This is Shane. He'll no sell it and get up right afterwards b/c he's "a McMahon dammit". I do hope they put a protective covering under the ring mat to prevent against leaks, spills, and copious amounts of sweat from standing around doing nothing.

Their "break glass in case of emergency" has ALWAYS been more McMahons. And the sad part is, it still pops a rating sometimes.
