There was a rumor about two weeks ago that the Sunday after Summerslam was going to be Evolution 2. So based on that I’d say that’s what the PPV will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red King Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 WWE still wants to bring back fans to buildings, but that may not happen until Nov or even next year. We will have to see. Vince uses lot of carny deflection to not really answer questions the way people want them to be answered. He is most likely fine with Raw viewers leaving because Raw is still number 1 on USA or so he says. Vince said Heyman was creative, so it seems more like either Heyman wanted to leave his position or Vince felt that's enough. Triple H is helping out on all 3 shows. The new plan is to make even more compelling characters and storylines and do more stuff outside of the ring, personalities and content etc. And make WWE more youthful.

The USA claim is easy enough to check out if you do a Google search, and yes he is telling the truth about that. The ratings suck, but it’s still the highest rated program on USA by a large margin (mostly because USA doesn’t have anything else of any value). The November thing definitely won’t happen unless some state decides to be totally stupid, and risk the health of its citizens (thus eliminating the entire Northeast as none of their governors are willing to allow that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So the WWE is shoehorning a ppv in a week after Summerslam? Ah nothing like the old one week build for stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) "The new plan is to make even more compelling characters and storylines" is a hilarious line. So, the old plan was to create fewer compelling characters and storylines? No wonder that wasn't working! Even putting that aside, it reminds me of cross country parents who would just yell "Go faster!" the whole time, as if simply being better was a choice you could make in the moment, and performance wasn't a result of multiple inputs over weeks, months, years. Which is to say, they aren't going to create more compelling characters and storylines unless they change one (or several) of the inputs that lead to the current product.

Curt McGirt Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Heyman "creative" so he got the boot. Shocking. Anywho, what was the match where Vader ended up covered in blood on that issue of Raw Magazine? Didn't Kane hit him in the face with a wrench or something? Was it even a match? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
