According to a recent Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince McMahon was reportedly "not high" on Kevin Owens, even as recently as a couple of months ago, so it was telling that he sold huge for Owens during the segment on last Tuesday's Smackdown. However, with Owens being the only logical opponent for Shane McMahon, he pretty much had to put Owens over.

I bet he would be if KO had a six pack.

right? even though at his size, he can do more in the ring than most of the roster.

I watch Raw casually now as it has lot lost of its luster to me.When I heard Bobby Heenan passed I made sure to watch to catch the tribute.Dude was a legend.Just a small gripe though...I really liked it better when they did the 10 bell salute with the backstage brought out.It felt more authentic and a part of me liked watching the reactions and emotions of the wrestlers breaking character.Anyone know why this tradition stopped?

Chris Benoit? I know they did it for him, and did a tribute show for him and that blew up in their face. Horribly publicity when the truth came out.

And now Jinder is racist? God just end this s**t. The writers are so retarded.

I've never heard the crowd say, "That's too far!" before.

WWE won't post the video themselves so they must have realized they went to far on that one.

Lol, Cena's dad going off on a bunch of current wrestlers. Mahal, Charlotte, Bliss to name a few.

"He's not even close to being a JBL. Mahal is in there for one reason: they want the Indian market. What better way to get it than to have the champion into the country you're going? And he's gonna hold that when he comes out of India, he's gonna hold that for a while for whatever reason. To upset the fans, maybe? Perhaps. But he certainly is not the same caliber of JBL. He doesn't have the arrogance, the ability, nor the characterization, nor the wrestling ability!"

"You know what, if you've got a performer that's going to make you money, Daniel Bryan was very thin and frail too. But if she has got what it takes to make it work, then use it while you have it. I'm not a fan of Charlotte Flair. I'll be right upfront. Alexa Bliss, what's she got? The looks and the body, that's about it. You know what? I'm going to stop before I get myself in trouble. Natalya is a great kid, I think Sasha is a great performer, it's too bad Bayley is out."
