Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane, Big Vito and Kenny ‘Starmarker’ Bolin.

Bolin thinks we’ve lost the feeling of what a PPV really is. He thought it was best when there was four PPVs, but he’s well aware that they’ll never return to that format due to the business side of things. He’s glad that the WWE Network exists because people would go broke trying to pay $60-$70 twice a month for these PPVs, which aren’t really any better than RAW or Smackdown.

Getting into their thoughts on RAW, Russo says that four guys should never run away from three, like we saw during the opening segment of RAW on Monday night. He says that Vince McMahon has no idea how to book logical situations anymore and he’s driving fans away from the buildings. Big Vito agrees and says that you’d never run away if you had the numbers advantage.

Kane called out Braun Strowman later in the show, saying that he was the only monster on RAW. Russo says that Kane appeared to be telling the truth because Strowman was nowhere to be found. Vito says that WWE has failed Strowman lately and they’ve taken the ‘Stone Cold’ mystique away from him. Vito thinks Strowman is done, and he needs to go to Smackdown Live where he can be repackaged.
