Richards says they’d often do this silly stuff during house shows; chanting along with fans and things of that nature, but they’d never do it on television. Vince McMahon always told the performers to address the camera, not the live audience, but now it’s changed entirely. Russo wonders when that change happened, and why. He adds that WWE has a product that sucks and it’s that simple. They’re working for the fans they already have, not the audience they’re missing.
Hamin says that guys like Rollins and Balor have to go because they’re absolutely “rotten”. The main event of this week’s RAW was a perfect example of that. At one point Rollins hit a Superplex into a Falcon’s Arrow, then Balor kicked out which was ridiculous. He adds that anyone in their backyard can do big moves, but these guys are in the main event of RAW and they should know how to tell a story.
Russo points out that if you’re working like this you’re not a great worker, you’re an acrobat. If you’re going to call yourself a professional wrestler, you need to sell when something looks like it hurts.
Moving onto Smackdown, Russo wonders how the heel, Nakamura, who’s been breaking the rules all along with low blows, is now rewarded with a no DQ match WWE Title match. He points out that this logic doesn’t make any sense at all.
