WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (May 8)
2. Do They Know What New Means?
If youre going to go on TV and flap your yap at a pay-per-view for 20 minutes, then the news that is being delivered better be pretty, pretty big. Paybacks special announcement was not. Vince wants to give Shane and Stephanie equal control of Raw, which makes absolutely no sense from a variety of factors. Its also hugely underwhelming. Another brand split would have been something, or Shane heading up NXT replacing SmackDown would have been worth that time. But it was all to tell us we have to deal with two feuding McMahons every week? Cant you leave it off TV this time?
Okay, so lets discuss the logic of it all. Vince sent his son into battle at WrestleMania in the sole hope that hed be murdered, meaning his lock box mystery would safe forever. The death plan failed, so he gave him control over Raw just because. He then didnt give Steph her job back, and now wants his children to tear each other apart on-air, and willingly gives them Raw to destroy...which kind of puts his company at risk. I dont get it.
Besides, nothing says NOT new era more than McMahons in power, because thats kind of whats been happening since 1997. Speaking of 1997, in 2016, WWE once again dug up the corpse of that years most infamous angle...
