Do you mean by the fans or behind the scenes? Like fandom wise, Shane will probably always be liked more than Steph. Behind the scenes I recall both being generally liked sans this latest news which sounds more like scapegoating for the shitty Rumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I've always thought based on the scuttlebutt that Shane was liked by the boys in the back and the fans but not by the toadies, and Steph was liked by the toadies but hated by the fans, and the boys in the back were mixed depending on who she was programed with on screen.

(BP) Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I don’t understand the scapegoat theory. They’ve put on shitty Rumbles before. They put out shitty programming on a regular basis and still grossed a billion dollars last year. There are no consequences for their failures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think the rumble was terrible, it wasn't anything special, but it didn't stand out as any worse than any other WWE thing I've watched in the last 5 or so years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it depend on how long she can hang on. I mean, they used her husbands heart attack as the opening they needed to gut the last decade of his professional life. These people are ruthless.

Basically. It seems like most of the formerly engaged audience tunes into WWE big events to be reminded of why they no longer watch and go on and on about how crummy everything is. It's nothing new. For some reason this year it feels like the bad press really bothered the higher ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 5 or 6 PPVs a year, realize why I stopped watching and don't watch anything until the next time he texts and asks if I'm trying to watch the PPV. There have been some terrible shows, this wasn't great, but I think the worst part was Brock winning again...but that doesn't seem to be related to why he was fired.

Curt McGirt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I was just gonna say "Shane as Cardona's manager" but that would be fantastic. Just give him something high to jump off and a bunch of light tubes. Let them have Angle Street Fight 2.0. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really might put things in perspective for how they were saying he was an "asshole" on Saturday...I mean, did he flip anyone off? Did he call someone a motherfucker? Maybe Brock should have taken a curb-stomp or two; he could have still won the Rumble...Bitches... Edited February 5, 2022 by Horatio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to love how they'll bury anyone, including their own on the way out the door. Seriously, what a bunch of savages. For all the nonsense that was Shane McMahon, he was kinda sorta a draw in an environment where all of their special attractions (with the exception of Goldberg) have retired. 100% agree. I was on vacation and remember watching the Raw from Detroit when Shane returned. When is the last time you heard a pop that loud in WWE?! I dare say it was just below Punk's Chicago return. Never heard anything bad about Shane. If Shane wanted Rollins in the Rumble to boost their feud what harm was it? Neither were likely winning. Replace an Otis or a Gable with Rollins and I'm sure it would have made sense and who would really care? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I tend to believe the stories mostly because if they just needed a scapegoat and everything would have been fine among the McMahons, they either would have reassigned Shane or fired another non-McMahon producer. To fire AND bury him, something has to have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 According to Billie Bhatti, Shane wasn't fired. He just out plans for now. I've been listening to Bhatti's segments on Konnan and Discos YouTube channel for over a month or so and he seems to have a good track record with being correct on news and plans. He takes alot of shots at Meltzer and Sean Ross Sapp and the foe their lack of credibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I’m pretty sure Billi Bhatti got fired from some reputable Newz site or other for being some flavour of bigot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeeaaaah...That's the first I've seen his name come up in awhile now because I thought that in addition to being a bigot or sex pest, or both, I thought he was also found to be totally full of shit, stealing or plagiarizing from others, and then being ultra combative on Twitter. Leave it to Konnan and that dumb fuck Glen Gilberti to give him a platform again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know who we're talking about here, but I think it's fair to assume if you rolling with Glen Gilberti, you gonna feel free to be ultra combative...I'm not sure if stealing or plagiarizing counts against someone who's even been in the same room with K-Dogg either.

He's an OG. A very shitty wrestling journo / Twitter meltdown machine / bigot. His getting fired from whatever big site made the news a few years ago - I think it was when he got really, really sexist? Equated all female wrestlers to strippers. Called anyone who disagreed gay slurs. He's also been caught habitually making shit up. Despised by more active wrestlers than I can count. Possibly the least reputable dirtsheet dude in the biz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
