Almost makes me wonder if this is a directive from Vince for the #1 guy to act like this.

There might be something to this. Orton did the same shit as champ. Now, you might say "yeah, but that's Orton", the point is, there has been a lot of "look how much money I got" from the top.

At this point, it's kinda like still saying "bingo halls" as a perjorative for indies.

That said, the blood money reply was pretty priceless.

I wonder if these were just jabs at one another that fanbases are making worse than the intent. Hard to tell sometime if they're sitting back like "look at all these marks... so, we up for golf this weekend?" or if they legit are taking serious digs because they really don't like the other guy. Both of those are totally plausible because internet.

And you thought the mystery of kayfabe was dead.
