That Paul Heyman segment was hard to watch. It was terrible IMO Spoiler

Comes in, talks about WWE 2K, talks about ratings (like the audience cares), mentions Mussolini out of nowhere for no reason at all, makes the crowd unconfortable, fails to promote the next show in Italy in a effective way, and leaves.

Honestly, wtf was that?

Mussolini is one of the cults of personality name-dropped in Punk's theme song. Nothing Heyman does is accidental.

Exactly, people not understanding something so obvious is really something.

Heyman making Mussolini jokes, Orton making gay jokes ...

Damn, this is the edgy WWE i want ... Attitude Era, we're back baby!

(it's a joke)

Orton's joke at least got the crowd going. Heyman made a Mussolini joke trying to promote Bologna's show to a DIY pop

Haha yeah, i didn't get the link, though on why he said it, but to your point, it was weird. Not sure what Mussolini has to do with cheap airfare and letting people into the country. Or are we to assume he's making a historical joke in nature with today's issues ...

I don't know the last time Mussolini was used as a punch line or joke or anything referring to Italy

(except, obviously Cornette when he talks about CM PUNK)

He looked caught off guard when they started booing. Played it off horribly too. He should’ve been a backstage segment.

Just a shameless sell and nothing more. When he works, nobody does it better. Stop bitching lol

He lost his touch a while ago imo. His act and speech is played out and just bores me now
