SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, March 3rd 2023: Roman Returns returns to SmackDown amid Bloodline turmoil

most likely. Or they'll wait until the company is sold and he's out of power, then maybe he will. He did retire this year after all and no one expected him to ever do that.

Yeah I was wondering if the retirement changed anything there but he didn't stay retired long enough to see lol

We find out Vince McMahon is the one and only inductee and we find out the week of. He gives a 2 hour speech.

 

[Chris]

watching this live I was so fucking confused lmao

 

[Sabretooth]

Maybe the HoF is cancelled this year

 

[Storm Trooper]

I remember when RD Evans got fired cause he approved Bret's Hart foundation speech where Bret thanked Vince (or something of the sort) and that's a big no no I guess, dude oddly wants no recognition from the HOF

it makes sense (not wanting praise, not firing the dude). Thanking him is like thanking the academy for winning an Oscar.

Cole better hope Roman ain’t got no sound on that tv.

Maybe the HoF is cancelled this year

imagine HHH just forgot about it

 

[Daddy Deville]

I had heard Stacy

Meh he's still in a reduced role. Am I the only person alive who thinks he's just back to sell the company and he's not running everything right now?

Yeah I don't mind not wanting to be thanked, just was odd to me that Vince specifically felt that way lol I suspect Evans was already not in good graces too and that was just an excuse to fire him tbh, can't imagine why he wouldn't have just been reprimanded when Bret fuckin said it anyway lmao

Imagine if it's cause they don't want them thanking vince in speeches

I don't think he's booking lol I just mean he's back on the board and running the sell part where before January he was actually retired

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Damn poor Sami

fair. It still feels like people are acting like he's running everything. He's just facilitating a sale.
