Block 3:
Taz welcomes Mike Johnson from PWInsider to the show.
Johnson points out that Enzo Amore’s promo last night certainly wasn’t a babyface promo, and it’s evident to him that WWE plans on having Amore adapt a ‘me against the world’ mentality moving forward. In spite of what some people might think about Amore, there’s no denying that he has brought a renewed energy to the cruiserweight division and 205 Live.
Speaking about the Bullet Club’s invasion of RAW yesterday, Johnson says that this type of fun is sorely missing from the professional wrestling business nowadays. Before and during the attitude era this type of thing would happen from time to time and it made wrestling fun and unpredictable. He feels that wrestling needs to embrace these situations more often.
Johnson informs that as of yesterday, WWE still doesn’t have any intention of making Starrcade a WWE Network special. He has heard that they are looking to bring in a few more big names from the past for the event, but they don’t intend on broadcasting it on the Network. Johnson thinks that the cost of airing this event live on the Network would be more than worth it, since it’s the return of Starrcade after 17 years.
