Vince McMahon references
They floated the word 'dad' out there. They never mentioned Vince by name. They put their toe in the water. They very, very gently took the temperature of the room, and it didn't get booed out of the building.
Randy Orton storyline
If I had a gun to my head and I genuinely had to bet my entire life, everything that you and Violetta have, who was Randy Orton on the phone with? Triple H.
After the segment was over, I asked, who do you think was on the phone with Randy? Resounding responses for Vince McMahon. Not only resounding responses, I think it's Vince. But people were saying, I hope it was Vince.
Obafemi push
If I had the pencil when it came to Obafemi, I would put the foot on the gas pedal so hard and never let up. Do not tap the brakes on this guy. Even a little bit. Pretend that there are no brakes.
There's no better person than Obafemi to take the mantle of being the next generation's Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar return
Watching Brock Lesnar in the ring last night, I don't think I've ever seen Brock Lesnar more intimidating, in better shape. He looked absolutely like a badass, maybe more than I've ever seen him in his career.
WrestleMania booking
If you're going to have Oba go over on Brock Lesnar, which I personally think needs to happen, and you have that to kick off WrestleMania, that's going to carry you through the entire show.
Cody Rhodes popularity
I've never seen that amount of people waiting for somebody outside of Sirius XM like they were for Cody yesterday. There were approximately 400 people outside at 11 a.m. to the point where they had to sneak Cody in.
Backstage power dynamics
I'm going to go back to that thing in the back of my mind: Cody was brought in by Vince and Randy is a Hunter guy. I'm not willing to put that to the side yet.
John Cena hosting WrestleMania
A coach has one responsibility on any given game day: he or she needs to field the absolute best team possible. A booker, an owner, a matchmaker has a responsibility to put the best talent in the right positions to put on the most entertaining show.
