It seems as if an old trick out of the Vince McMahon playbook has reared its ugly head once again, but this time, in the form of Karrion Kross organically getting over with the fans.
On Episode 438 of the YLP Podcast, Mr. YLP breaks down the very moment he believes, was the beginning of the end of Kross's second run in WWE. He discusses why Paul "Triple H" Levesque may have either allowed or made the foolish decision not to do right by the fans, and who he thinks could be the next man or woman beginning their descent on the card.
Also on this week's episode of the pod, Mr. YLP brings back his "News Of The Week" segment, including news on Melina saying that she would like to see WWE Evolution become an annual event, WWE allegedly trying to put AEW out of business by the end of their current contract with Warner Bros. Discovery, and much, much more!
