Road Dogg fires back at fans over Shinsuke Nakamura entrance, Austin Aries addresses his future (video)
WWE Producer “Road Dogg” Brian James responded to a fan that complained about Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance being cut because they had to go to commercial.
Thanks. We run a television show, they have commercials. See how sarcasm sounds?!

He later blocked someone after it was pointed out that the company has control over their segment times.
But you do have schedules and run times. See, that's what facts sound like.

Yes we do, I get your sarcasm and I'll see you a #blocked for just being negative ?

No sir, we can't. You guys never cease to amaze me. It was NOT a mistake nor a poor decision. Business decisions are unpopular at times.

It gets too much sometimes. It's never just thoughts or conversations, it's always sarcasm and negativity and there's a difference

You're really searching and focusing on the wrong things I feel like. We're trying different things, you WONT like them all.

Everyone thinks they can do better on here. That's twitter quarterbacking! I'm guilty of it too.

I give credit to Road Dogg for taking the time to respond to feedback (positive and negative) and he is one of the few people in management that regularly interacts with the fans on social media. Vince McMahon is backstage every week for Smackdown Live but the word is that Road Dogg has been put in charge of the creative for the brand. There are things that can be improved but, overall, I think Smackdown flows better than Raw every week and Road Dogg deserves much of the credit.
A couple of news and notes….
– We continue to hear that the plan for John Cena is for him to feud with Jinder Mahal. The fact that Cena is coming back on July 4 is part of their strategy to get more heel heat on Mahal.
– Tickets for WWE No Mercy will go on sale on 7/15. That show is scheduled to take place on 9/24 in Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
– WWE has posted video of Austin Aries addressing his future:
Last week, Aries talked about taking time off because of nagging injuries.
