    Well, and while Randy isnt a part-timer currently, he too doesnt really do much with the belt. In a world where neither is likely dropping it anytime soon, its gonna make for some weird PPVs.

    But one thing is certain: Trump’s connection to WWE will remain a part of company lore for years to come. Goldsmith said she received an envelope about a week after the “Battle of the Billionaires” from Vince McMahon’s daughter Stephanie, who worked at the company. When Goldsmith opened the envelope, she found the hair that Donald Trump had shaved off of Vince McMahon’s head, which his daughter thought the company might be able to somehow use in its merchandise. WWE never did use the hair, and a few years later, Goldsmith left the company, which she called “a little too kooky for me.”

    The McMahons are weird....who would want Vince's hair framed in a plaque or something: Why Is WWE Listed As The Trump Foundation's Biggest Donor?

    Part timers don't need belts. They generate enough attention as is. And Lesnar should be forced to show up every week, no doubt about it. He really has Vince by the balls.

    The belts are superficial and don't mean anything.

    You are right (ugh) but that isn't going to change any time soon. In any other promotion, belts are handed out on merit (sorta) where WWE is about draws. As long as people are putting butts in seats, they'll be top guys. None of us want Randy or Brock to hold the bests, but it is what is best for business right now. They don't have to worry about them getting hurt and know they will bank of PPV's/push merch.

    Brock Lesnar makes the company way more money as a special attraction that only shows up on select dates in the long term then if he was around for an entire year nonstop.

    What did Bones - or anyone - do or say wrong? That guy misread Mick's post and Bones explained.

    Reading comprehension folks.

    No, I disagree that they would make less with him being there on a weekly basis.

    Anyway. Going back to what we believed as kids:

    When Jericho first came to the E with the "Y2J" stuff I was eleven. I was confused and asked my mom what the difference was between Y2K and Y2J and why one was sooner than the other (since the promos had a countdown clock). My mom just sighed and said wrestling was stupid and she didn't know why she let me watch.

    She also didn't believe me when I told her that Owen Heart died during the PPV I was watching with my cousins. Said I was dumb for believing what was "obviously" fake. She was pretty surprised when it was on the news, although still thought for a bit that the news station was believing a fake story too.
