5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Jan 18)
5. "Are You Watching, Vince McMahon?"
"As long as there are no further questions, then yes. Yes I did. I did the Iggy, damnit!"
As rabid fans took in the divisive main event of NXT UK: TakeOver Blackpool, they chanted "Are you watching, Vince McMahon?" In response, the guy who runs his Twitter account tweeted "Yes, I watched #NXTUKTakeOver. Yes, it was awesome." What's brilliant about the wording is that it captured McMahon's disdain unintentionally - the repeated "Yes" painted a picture of a henpecked Vince writing any old sh*te to get these dorks off his back. Of course, Vince did not tweet this out nor watch the show, we can be certain of that: Triple H revealed last year that Vince doesn't even bother to watch the domestic NXT brand that features the guys he's meant to promote imminently.
But what if he did? What would he make of it?

"Hey, that guy is cool. And listen to that pop! But, since he doesn't have much beef on him, have him smile."
Eddie Dennis Vs. Dave Mastiff
"Can we...can we mush 'em up? Make one tall, beefy abomination? And warehouse the remaining flesh on seven figures so that Cody can't have it?"
