Speaking of that McMahon family squabble story, why was the announcement not made immediately following WrestleMania? If it made sense at any point it was then, as Vince allowed Shane to run RAW that night (and every night since) out of respect for him jumping off of the cell at WrestleMania 32. Shane returned to take control of RAW, and it seems like we've been treading some pretty illogical water ever since.

One can only assume that i's were being dotted and t's crossed on the USA Network deal, and this caused a delay in the announcement. Someway or another WWE must move this McMahon story to a place where the audience won't question why oh why it took almost two months after WrestleMania for something like this to happen.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
