Vince McMahon aime avoir le contrôle de la situation dans tout ce qu’il fait. Et il l’a encore démontré en annulant l’émission hebdomadaire “Talking Smack”, animée par Renee Young et en ondes chaque mardi soir sur le WWE Network.
Plusieurs segments, dont ceux avec Daniel Bryan et The Miz, sortaient vraiment du cadre habituel de la WWE. Les cotes d’écoute étaient fort satisfaisantes, mais McMahon n’aimait pas le côté imprévisible de l’émission qui, selon lui, ne servait pas bien les intérêts de la WWE. Le contenu de “Talking Smack” ne répondait pas à des scripts bien précis, ce qui l’irritait au plus haut point.
Plusieurs fans ont réagi de manière négative face à la décision de la WWE. Même Daniel Bryan et The Miz ont manifesté leur désaccord.

Une pétition a même été lancée par le cinéaste Max Landis afin que la WWE révise sa décision.
Plus de 12 000 signatures virtuelles ont été récoltées jusqu’à maintenant. Voici le texte de présentation.
“Talking Smack,” the Smackdown Post show, was announced as cancelled today. This is a huge loss for the WWE.
“Talking Smack” was an innovative, engaging, compelling and reliably hilariously funny closer look at the characters and world of the WWE. It drove deeper interest in characters who often didn’t get time to speak on television, and was home to some of the best segments in recent history.
The informal style, spearheaded by the grounded, friendly conversational performance of host Renee Young and bolstered by Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, who act like real people, shows a side of the wild storylines that makes even the most silly and ridiculous situation on Smackdown suddenly seem remarkably real, fun, and complex.
Shows like “Talking Smack,” that broaden the world of the WWE Universe and give a looser-structured but tighter-focused look at the Superstars within it, are integral to growing interest in story-lines and characters; they are not just frosting. I know this, because due to Talking Smack, I am a fan with a more vested and profound appreciation for Erick Rowan, The Usos, Alexa Bliss, and even more prominent characters like AJ Styles.
WWE prides itself on hearing the voice of the WWE Universe, so let’s speak up. Sign this petition, and let’s make it clear that WE, the WWE Universe, the $9.99ers and the crowds on Youtube who make WWE’s channel the second most watched content IN THE WORLD, want “Talking Smack” BACK.
Stand up and shout loud for an uncommon, and uncommonly smart show.
