Big Vito feels that WWE has no idea how to book Samoa Joe effectively. Bolin informs that Al Snow labeled Joe as ‘fat and lazy’ during his time in OVW, and that’s why he never really got a shot with WWE back in the day. Fast forward to today, and Bolin feels that Joe is one of WWE’s top five stars right now, if only they’d book him effectively. He’s obviously great in the ring, and his promo work is better than Bolin thought.

Russo didn’t understand WWE’s camera angle choice to end RAW. When Strowman powerslammed Kane at the end of the show, WWE shot the spot even with the ring mat and Russo thinks that was a mistake. He feels that they should have had a crane shot for that spot, as well as multiple other camera angles. Lane thinks WWE shot the spot like that on purpose, so fans at home wouldn’t see Strowman and Kane just lying in the hole.

Russo points out that he’d simply rather watch Teen Mom on a Monday night instead of RAW. He says there was more drama in one hour of Teen Mom this week than there has been on RAW in the last month. Some people might say that it’s strange for a grown man to watch Teen Mom, but Russo says it’s definitely strange for a grown man to watch professional wrestling.

Speaking about the upcoming Styles/Lesnar bout, Bolin says that WWE should have focused more on the size difference between both men in the promotion for the match. It truly is a David versus Goliath scenario, and he thinks WWE missed the mark by not speaking more about that.
