Is Drew really choking up or stalling?

Put another way, since it's Vince McMahon and all, it's a liability mitigation thing.

Having all the promos be scripted blows up in your face in rare moments like this. These guys just aren't practiced at having to cut promos off the top of their heads.

I know this is short notice but this has been very bad. You'd think people that are trained to perform would be better at this.

You can tell that Xavier and Kofi can do this **** without scripts. Having a twitch is a huge boon for them.

I'm doing this for all the 7 feet tall 350 pound men who have been bullied their entire lives.

Wat?

Maybe they could use this time to blow through whatever crappy live music performances they've got lined up.

This is a big problem. You can’t just do promo promo promo promo promo. What happens when they run through the roster in 15 minutes?

They’re exposing their talent to unscripted unprepared promos, and barely filling time while doing so. Brutal

Surely they have video packages they can rerun.

Thanks, makes sense I guess...

It's cool to see these impromptu promos!

Back to the shitty analyst desk. Those people can fill the time they need. I don't want to watch it, but that's gotta be the safeguard against just running out of content.

I haven't minded the promos. The hosts have been worse, they don't seem good at improvising interviews and asking the right questions. Too bad Renee wasn't in the area.

Wait, Morrison says they know their opponents are scumbags, because you judge people by who they hang out with and they can tell because they hang out with each other? Doesn't that mean the puzzle was already solved before you took the hangout thing into account?
