This week, Nick (@nickpiccone) and Vaughn (@VaughnMJohnson) discuss the things both SmackDown Executive Director Eric Bischoff and RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman can do to make their brands better. What can they do to stand out?
The guys discuss in detail SmackDown’s move to FOX especially, and what Bischoff can do with his program, given the freedom [hopefully], to make it what FOX visualizes it is.
Vaughn was at Jim Ross’ and Conrad Thompson’s live show this past weekend in Philly before Extreme Rules. He talks about the show and has some poignant thoughts on Jim Ross. The guys also discuss their thoughts on WWE’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view, AEW’s Fight For The Fallen show, and also EVOLVE 131.
