Russo also points out that if we used Meltzer’s logic in the world of film, nobody would watch long films like The Lord of the Rings until the end. If the scripts are good and the shows/films are entertaining, people will watch until the end. Unfortunately, WWE’s product is far from entertaining right now.
Lane points out that at one point this past week Cody Rhodes sent out a tweet, explaining the role that his father, Dusty played in the development of the War Games match. Meltzer then quoted that tweet, mentioning that others, including Dory Funk Jr., deserved credit in the development of the match as well. Russo points out that Cody Rhodes is very proud of his father and loves to memorialize Dusty, and he has no idea why Meltzer felt it was necessary to tweet those things back at Cody.
Russo says that maybe it’s Meltzer’s ego, trying to prove that he knows everything about the history of the business, but this was a stupid thing to do. He goes on to say that Dusty Rhodes is no longer with it, and when someone passes it’s commonplace to praise the things they accomplished in life. When Dory Funk Jr. passes, Russo’s sure that people will praise his accomplishments as well.
Lane presents a clip of Wade Keller from this past week, when he said that he thought Elias was stuck on ‘second gear’ during his RAW match against Roman Reigns this past Monday. Russo sarcastically assumes that Keller’s plethora of in-ring experience allows him to make those kind of comments. He wonders how Keller would ever know what gear performers are working in at any given moment.
