He gives you the worst product possible, and he is laughing all the way to the bank, to the tune of a billion dollars.
Vince has no idea who's going to win the Royal Rumble, and therefore, he has no idea who's going to main event freaking WrestleMania.

Last night's SmackDown was overall pretty good.
But that doesn't mean we can't dig up something to be mad about.
FOR INSTANCE: They hit pause real quick on that Shinsuke Nakamura push, didn't they? Only to start one for Cesaro? And also, non-title matches, yes-title matches that end via obvious interference, and t...

Last night's episode of Raw was part terrible, part off-the-rails crazy town, and part lazy predictable nothing-special-ness.
