Hamin didn’t like how Strowman was rampaging everywhere, but when he went into production truck all he did was yell at people and throw papers. He believes WWE should have done something more impressive with the production truck, perhaps having Strowman pull some wires which would have forced them to go to commercial, or something along those lines.

Russo didn’t like this angle at all and calls it “..a bad Godzilla movie”. He specifically didn’t like the humour of Strowman eating a piece of cake in the catering arena, pointing out that someone as angry as Strowman who had just been fired wouldn’t be interested in eating a piece of cake.

Russo agrees with Hamin that WWE should have done more with the Production truck. He would have booked it to cut to static when Strowman was running rampant in the prodcution truck, and then he would have had them cut to USA Network programming joined live in progress. This would have felt real and would have been much better than what they did in his opinion.

Richards points out that WWE constantly promotes their anti-bullying campaign, but then they book this angle with Strowman rampaging around beating everyone up, bullying people into giving him his job back. Russo agrees, and points out that if a McDonald’s worker got fired and proceeded to destroy the entire store he probably wouldn’t get his job back.
