    “I’ll take “Least Surprising Revelations” for $1000, Alex.” Can’t imagine what was being piped directly into his ears for years.

      Maybe because I’m not a control freak, but I think it’d be funny to try to make him break on live television.

      Just saying the most absurd, over the top things in the silliest voices. But…knowing Vince, it was probably just screaming and berating. Then off air saying sexual things.

      I think it’d be funny to say the exact line he just said, with a 1 second delay into his ear.

      Cole on air: “Good evening everyone!!! Welcome to Smackdown!!! I’m Micheal cole, joined by…”

      Me in Coles ear only: “I’m Micheal Cole”

      Cole: “Corey Graves. We welcome you tonight from Nashville!”

      Me: “Welcome to Nashville.”

      Cole: “Later on we’ll see DIY vs the Street Prophets”

      Me: “DIY is Johney Gargano and Thomaso Champa”

      Cole: We’ll also hear from Logan Paul.

      Me: “Logan Paul”.

      Cole: “As he’ll be looking to discuss his Summerslam performance”

      Me: “Sweeeet Carooooliiiiineeeeee bum bum bum!!!”

    I wish when they retired they would tell the tales. Nothing would please me more than making sure the company can’t white wash his legacy once he’s gone.

      Just remember, originally they wanted to do the great moolah classic. And when fans said no, they changed it to the mae young classic. Which that by itself isn’t any better. Mae Young did the same shit Moolah did.

      But as an extra fuck you, the original design was just going to look like a vagina.

      Until snickers said no.
