You do know sabre is me right? Yeah you probably do

Stop changing your names. I can't keep up with who's who anymore. Lol

I didn't even know that was brandon, and regardless I shouldn't have been so overblown in my criticism.

I've already mentioned that yes, MANY people all over Internet have been calling for Shane McMahon to legitimately take over the WWE. That's what WWE are playing on with this storyline. Even in Kayfabe, if you cheer for Shane McMahon, you are still wanting for Shane McMahon to be in charge over Stephanie. Even as an angle, that is an atrocious proposition. And please don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. I know storyline and reality don't always add up, but they aren't always separate either. This could be an angle to get Shane McMahon back in the fold. And since when is it a bad thing to be worked by a gimmick, even if I did think Shane McMahon could win the company in a WrestleMania match. Some say the death of kayfabe is what killed the business. Thank you.

If you cheer Shane kayfabe that doesn't mean you want him to take over from Stephanie good lord.

Sorry that was over the line.

I just can't fathom how you can't see the difference between what's happening on screen(and the fans obviously going to cheer for a BIG return) and what you think should happen off screen.

Yeah Brandon, when you hear his music hit, you're not going to think "oh he's an asshole for leaving wwe so I'm gonna boo him". You cheer because it's a big return. That's all we're getting at.

I've been battling this fight for years. I've had to defend Stephanie to many people who claimed Shane could do a much better job, even as he was completely nowhere to be seen. It just gets at my craw that he gets such a free pass from everyone. My apologies for taking the angle too seriously, I just passionately believe Stephanie McMahon is better for WWE, both in real life and kayfabe.

I thought it was quite funny you threw him under the bus when he was on your side!

Look I think Steph and HHH are doing a fine job behind the scenes.

That's has NOTHING to do with the storyline on the screen.

I don't like the authority but I do like the potential they have once Vince finally steps aside.

I can differentiate the two.

Having Shane back is good for business, especially on screen. I have no idea what he'll do or if it's good behind the scenes.

In the angle, it does. In the storyline he is trying to take the company from her. Even in Kayfabe, that thought makes me nausea.

He reminding me of Sabre right now.

I know he's smarter than this.


Feel like we've been at odds since the Wonder Woman stuff. Lol
That's because Gal Gadot is sexy as hell.

I appreciate that. I can sometimes get worked up over things I feel passionately about. My apologies for that. On the bright side, it's been a long time since I've cared this much about anything wrestling related. I even gave up on TNA and I was their biggest mark.

So, this is basically a rematch of last night I think right? But Bray is in the match correct?

The only thing Shane handled behind the scenes was the video packages and possibly the home video releases. He was never a creative or talent relations guy.

I'll be less hardcore from here on out, but I won't be differentiating, even in Kayfabe, I'll be supporting the Authority over Shane. Although, it's weird Shane is facing Undertaker. You would think the obvious match here would be Shane and Triple H.

I've been on and off his side a lot. Sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't.
He hasn't changed much. Although, you guys occasionally make me side with him!

I think something changes between now and then, I don't see Shane vs Undertaker happening for some reason....Shane will some how talk Vince into letting him have someone represent him. But who?
