    100% agree with everything Becky said about the Business side. I think as for as Pat, at least he was an announcer so technically he was doing more than just one show lol but also with Logan Paul he def gets pushed up to the top because of his following. It sucks that people like Bobby Lashley or LA knight have to basically get squeezed into a match. Seth shouldn't have to waste his WM match with Logan even though Logan is decent. Even with Cena like damn why waste that match with him going against Theory when you could of capitalized off of the Montez ford performance in the Elimination Chamber and had Theory vs Ford instead. I like seeing older wrestlers but not when's it's FORCED on us. The whole Owens vs Austin was amazing because we didn't actually expect an full match with Austin. People are saying this is just Cena giving theory a PUSH lol Cena is almost 50 years old and wrestlers once every year lol that's not giving him a push while wrestling an past his prime Cena. The fact that they had Cody beat Seth not once but 3 times and even once while he was badly injured was crazy. I do hope they are leaning towards at least when Cody wins that they will split the titles. Maybe you can have Seth call out Cody for ONE of the titles and then beat him at Summer Slam, it at least would make up for the 3 losses because Seth deserves better too. But MONEY talks so I also get it when they go Left instead of RIGHT.
