It's very difficult to listen to Vince McMahon's stubborn stance that he isn't out of touch with pop culture on Steve Austin's podcast and take him seriously. In September, he booked Jerry Springer onto Raw to moderate an already awful angle between the Bella twins. Jerry Springer. An old man over a decade past his sell-by date. What was particularly bad for Jerry is the material he had to work with, that being a 'feud' between the Bella twins that nobody believed nor cared about. Not to rag on Brie Bella but she truly has been the focal point of some of WWE's worst TV in recent times. In this instance, it all came down to believability. Nobody believed in either Bella. Nobody wanted to take a side. Nobody rallied behind Brie- the babyface- as she was so inept at convincing us we should. Both came across as spoiled brats. Factor in Jerry Springer and the pissy cat-fight afterwards, which led to him being taken out on a stretcher, and you had a plethora of people scrambling for the clicker to skip to the next segment.
Betting on being a brilliant brother to Bodhi since 2008 (-1 Asian Handicap). Find me @LiamJJohnson on Twitter where you might find some wonderful pearls of wisdom in a stout cocktail of profanity, football discussion and general musings. Or you might not. Depends how red my eyes are.
