That makes sense, but it's still a bit baffling to me that you pick up a Vince McMahon product when Vince McMahon doesn't do a sports presentation. It'd be like signing a Tim Allen sitcom and saying "Hey, can you have some modern jokes mixed with drama." Like, I get there isn't that alternative on a major level for wrestling right now, but it's just a square peg/round hole thing to me.

I give it less than six months before Cormier is in angles, by the way.
