Wrestling Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon a fan of a released superstar and more
By Amit Shukla
We present another article about the wrestling rumors after a week’s absence. The world is still talking about the egg storyline at Survivor Series. Why did The Rock not turn up at the Survivor Series event? The build-up continued, and everyone expected an ‘If you smell….’ at the show, but that didn’t happen. Why? Well, your guess is as good as mine.
Is the egg storyline a way to put Austin Theory over, and is Vince McMahon a fan of a released superstar? There are more questions than one can think of, but as of this article, we will focus on only the ones that matter as truth be told, anything can happen in the WWE in the blink of an eye. So without further ado, let’s get down to it:
Vince McMahon a fan of Top Dolla
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio and reported by Ringsidenews, Vince McMahon was a fan of Top Dolla. It may sound funny to some, how can someone be in the good books of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Top Dolla had the heat on him, but as it turns out, he is also a favorite of the company’s chairman.
It’s not an easy task to make it to the good books of Mr. McMahon as he is difficult to please. If Top Dolla made it to his good books, it is a possibility that he may return soon unless he wants to pursue a career and take his business elsewhere. Will you like to see Top Dolla back in the WWE? Chime in.
Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair showed professionalism
Big Time Becks and The Queen are at loggerheads at this time. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the two showed extreme professionalism during a house show before Survivor Series. It helped the company put on a show before and during the Survivor Series event. The two are revered members of the WWE women’s division, and this professionalism is a good sign.
The two worked well between the ropes during the house show. They gave the fans the entertainment and built up their feud heading into Survivor Series. It confirms what an extremely professional duo these two are who have worked on the ranks in NXT and have now moved up the ladder to become the face of the women’s division in their respective brands.
Lack of Interest during Survivor Series
Every event has the fans excited, but it looks like this year’s Survivor Series didn’t cut. The fans didn’t search for the event as they would and should. Survivor Series is one of WWE’s A-shows, but the lack of interest amongst fans testaments that the company didn’t push the event well and the matches didn’t excite the WWE Universe.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and reported by Wrestle Talk, Survivor Series did 200,000 Google searches while AEW’s All Out did better in the search count. It confirms that the fans are getting away from the WWE’s Sports Entertainment product and want to witness something real and exciting that feels like wrestling.
Egg Got Paid beyond expectations
According to the ever-dependable Fightful Select, Vince McMahon used the egg during the Survivor Series event after being paid an insane amount. We know that Vince focuses on the money aspect at all times, and so if there’s money involved, Vince will not let the opportunity to earn slip by. He is all about the money, and that’s a fact in real-life.
Vince McMahon is a multi-millionaire, and despite his habits, he is still all well with the money. Mr. McMahon has changed from feuding with an Austin to nurturing one. Times have changed, and is the egg storyline an effort to put over Austin Theory?
