Vince: "The Cleaner"? What's he clean, floors? Give him Saturn's old mop gimmick. HHH: No, "cleaner" is mob kayfabe for a hitman, see... Vince: Another greasy-haired Canadian Hitman? Is his gear pink too? No thanks pal. Tell ya what, how about we call him Kenny O'Mega and package him with Hornswoggle. He's still on the payroll, right? HHH: Sigh... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Someone on Twitter claimed he said that. I don't have the membership anymore so wondering if he would say something so stupid. According to others the emphasis was on "Even" as if these guys are so straight laced and dull that a wellness policy isn't necessary. Which makes the statement even dumber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay attention though, he says some pretty outlandish things on a regular basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay attention though, he says some pretty outlandish things on a regular basis. The way he said it was just his own opinion as an aside, but not necessarily a reason why not to have one. I don't think he implied they shouldn't have one. What he said was he had not heard of there being one in place, then talked about his personal knowledge of most of those guys not drinking or doing whatever, but if they develop problems at some point (i.e. being on the road), it could be a possibility. The person on Twitter probably just ran that all together because of Dave's stream of consciousness. So no, he didn't say that or at least in that fashion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title is defended under Iron Man Rules.... 30 minutes most of the time, 60 minutes for special occasions. They could save most of the title matches for PPV and have a 30 minute match on TV once a month. Then the other 3 weeks of the month, they can do angles and interviews around the division. Just a thought. Could be a cool element that would set them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it, it had people like Richie Steamboat, Rollins and Ambrose competing for it, alot of the bouts were 15mins but it was really enjoyable to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evanknight Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 They should do a modern twist of the tv title rule that WCW for a bit but instead of letting a time limit draw go to three judges, they should let a 15 minute draw go to an audience vote for the winner. Let there be a social media/app vote ... push live events, encourage crowd interaction, and give a good reason for all the flips also, win/win... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
