WKPWP - Flagship from 5 Yrs Ago (8-10-2017): Keller & Mitchell: Infuriating shortcoming of WWE, Summerslam, NXT Takeover, Cena promo, more

In this Flagship Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast from five years ago (8-10-2017), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch senior columnist Bruce Mitchell for the Thursday Flagship episode. They discuss an infuriating shortcoming of basic storytelling and presentation of characters by WWE including putting the brand above the wrestlers and having announcers react inconsistently to key facets of the stories they tell. They also dissect the John Cena promo responding to losing to Shinsuke Nakamura and tearing down Baron Corbin, the magic of this Fatal Four-way Summerslam main event, NXT Takeover talk, new NXT arrivals, the finish of Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman and what WWE got wrong with the Samoa Joe interference, and mailbag topics including WWE announcing, Joey Ryan and Mick Foley doing comedy in Dublin, Renee Young being on both Raw and Smackdown, and more.
