The whole Observer this week read as Vince McMahon trying to push back on HHH directives and be his insane, over-thinking, over controlling self. From the buzzwords to avoid to this developmental crap just sounds more like Vince blabbing in a meeting and everyone going "Yeah, yeah, okay...got it, okay." and then just doing whatever they were doing before. We'll see.

- An internal WWE memo from a few years back recently leaked and stated a few things of interest:
* Vince McMahon no longer wants “Granddaddy of them all” using to describe WrestleMania because he feels it makes WrestleMania feel old and dated.
* Nobody can use the phrase “choke” for a submission move. Undertaker’s Hell’s Gate move was named Triangle submission hold.
* Producer Kevin Dunn stated that announcers can no longer use the phrase “title changes hands.”
* Vince banned the use of terms “five star match” and “match of the year.” As part of the memo banning those terms, Vince also wanted all announcers to “stop reading the dirt sheets” with the idea that it influences what they say.
* Stephanie McMahon sent a memo for announcers to never use the phrase “the referee didn’t see it” when a heel is doing something behind the referees back. She wrote that it makes it seem like the announcers are treating the fans like they are in grade school. Stephanie prefers “the referee’s vision was impaired” or “the referee’s vision was blocked.” Also, never use the word “hatred” or “hate” when describing a feud and the announcers should never say a talent doesn’t care about winning a matchComment

The 11/2 Mt Pleasant show is headlined by Bobby Roode and Magnus. There are currently tickets available for front row ringside.
Expect that show to be dumped, no reason to run a one shot in Mt Pleasant with Battle Creek already cancelled and barely any tickets sold.Comment
