WWE Rumor Roundup: Former Champion yelled at backstage for multiple botches; Roman Reigns to lead RETRIBUTION? Major error in Bray Wyatt/Vince McMahon segment pointed out - 27th August 2020

#2 Eric Bischoff points out a major error in the segment between Bray Wyatt and WWE head Vince McMahon

Former WWE employee Eric Bischoff recently spoke about the SmackDown segment involving Bray Wyatt and Vince McMahon. After Vince McMahon opened the first-ever ThunderDome show in WWE, he was interrupted by The Fiend. The two men stared at each other before Braun Strowman entered the scene and McMahon left.

Former RAW General Manager in WWE Eric Bischoff stated on his podcast - 83 weeks - that he was not impressed with the angle at all and it had some major loopholes.

“Vince (McMahon) is standing in the ring. I got no expression on Vince’s face whatsoever because the way the red was reading in the ring. Vince’s face was completely washed out. I don’t know if he was crapping his pants. I don’t know if he was laughing. I don’t know if he was scared to death. I don’t know anything.

That whole scene, however many minutes that scene lasted, that whole scene was a complete waste of time because you achieved nothing for The Fiend. You didn’t make him scarier, you didn’t make him more imposing, and you didn’t make him more threatening. You didn’t get the sense that the Fiend was thinking of doing something to Vince. You got nothing.

You can’t get any expressions out of the Fiend because he’s wearing a freaking mask, so you’re pretty limited from the get-go. But there was so much going on visually to that point that there was no emotion. You couldn’t see anything. How was I supposed to feel? What was I supposed to be thinking as a viewer?”
