You all know I love Gino, but he shouldn't have been allowed to cut promos on Update, mostly because it doesn't do the programs they're trying to push any good. What would the average fan have rather heard here, Gino describing what happened in the clip from Raw ​or Lawler actually insulting Stu and Helen? There shouldn't even need to be a debate about that. I'm guessing that Vince lets Gino do that segment however he sees fit, because otherwise they wouldn't make the air that way. If that's true, it's a lousy decision on his part.

 

Bret's promo was fine, but isn't calling Lawler the undisputed king making light of Bret's victory at King of the Ring? Normally that's not a big deal, but King of the Ring was a first-time pay-per-view this year, and its results need to be protected. What's the matter with doing what they did at the start of the feud, which was calling Lawler the "self-professed" king and Bret the undisputed King of the Ring? (Gino doing it in his rant doesn't count.) Were they trying to protect themselves from a possible Lawler lawsuit, or just trying to paint Bret as a kind of underdog to add juice to the feud, as if it needed any?
