Coach opens Rant Wednesday by laying down the Super Chat ground rules, then hands Vince Russo the floor (with a parental advisory). Russo's problem with Monday's Raw in San Diego: after his face-to-face with Sami Zayn, Roman Reigns was shown leaving the building, and Russo says he and Ed Ferrara learned in the Attitude Era that when Stone Cold left the arena, the minute-by-minutes fell off a cliff. His fix keeps Roman, The Usos and The 946 in the building from the first 15 minutes, building on last week's main event, where Carmelo Hayes joined The 946. Then Russo explains, for adults only, where the wrestling term "pop" comes from and why an entrance is a reaction, not a pop.
Coach says too many fans think they know better than the people who built the business, challenges the chat to call the Hot Take Hotline, and Russo tells his Colorado Rockies dream. Russo takes aim at the reporters, from Sean Ross Sapp to Dave Meltzer and a comment about Mercedes Moné's WrestleDream match with Thekla, and Coach pushes back on Russo's "if I'm ever hired back" with Jim Cornette's recent comments.
Super Chats: what would force WWE to chase casual fans again, Roman Reigns on why he doesn't work house shows and why he needs a pre-taped office, Raw against big NFL nights, the Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn dark match after Raw, Triple H and the Test/Stephanie wedding, writing Triple H back on TV, scrapping the brand split, and Joe Hendry. Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn is set for Crown Jewel on Nov 7 in Riyadh.
Housekeeping: Meet-and-greets with Coach or Vince next Tuesday at 8 PM ET (six spots, link in chat). Russo's Brand launches new shows Nov 1, including the Bro and Coach show (russosbrand.com). Coach and Bro is back Friday at 2 PM ET.
