Some people are quick to point out that times have changed and that’s why wrestlers work the way they do today, but those same people often criticize wrestlers’ actions from years gone by, failing to realize that societal norms have changed as well. Some of the things that were done in the business years ago certainly weren’t politically correct, but it was a different time.
Lane points out that WWE is reportedly talking to Hulk Hogan about a return to the company, noting that perhaps Hogan can help other people after learning from his mistakes. Gilbertti says “good luck with that”, pointing out that some people will cry out in criticism if WWE brings Hogan back.
Next, Lane mentions that Michael Cole seemed to bury the Ultimate Deletion before it aired on RAW last week. Russo thinks WWE wanted this to fail before it even aired. Lane points out that it never even aired on the Hulu version of RAW. Gilbertti thinks there’s a bigger story here, and he’s interested to know what McMahon thought about it.
Lane also notes that people in the arena weren’t even shown this match live. Gilbertti finds that hard to believe, and points out that McMahon must have thought it sucked so bad that he didn’t even want to show it to the people in the arena.
