Specifically the part to Vince's face. It's very well-constructed to give Paul nothing but truth to preach but to still demonstrate his own darkness. "Shades of grey" is somewhat trite these days, but this IMO is the most complex characterization in WWE history.

Taz kinda misses his cue at the end though.

...and I agreed with everything Mick Foley had to say, that the WWF truly does suck. Don't boo me, have you watched the television show lately? Vince McMahon has lost his mind! The man does not have it anymore. He's a has-been. His ideas are antiquated. His concepts are draconian.

Damn, this promo is timeless.

He was an amazing low-key heel at the end of his NXT Title run, and probably could've been the biggest one if Kevin Owens didn't debut and take that top spot instantly.

Well, he's never leaving Germany, so that won't happen. But if anyone gets signed as a result of BOLA, it probably will be someone Walter faces.

I don't entirely disagree generally, but at the same time I feel some of the best Becky matches were against Alexa so *shrug

I feel like for the most part main roster WWE women are at the level where they can generally have watchable matches but nothing really beyond that at any sort of reliable level. Part of that is the booking and builds, but I can probably name more Alexa matches I liked in the past year than anyone but Becky (who isn't really a cut above as much as beneficiary of being the only woman who had a proper feud with Mickie) and Mickie James.

So I just remembered that Jinder Mahal debuted as a guy that Great Khali had to listen to because Mahal was his brother in law and if Khali disobeyed him, he'd divorce Khali's sister and ruin her life.

Mahal does bad things to his heroes, apparently.

Is Virgil just completely unable to jump to help make the move less awful looking?
