More on that weird Retribution spot from Raw
Added 2020-10-29 15:59:59 +0000 UTCFightful has learned that initially, Vince McMahon had wanted Recknoning, AKA Mia Yim to mimic a seizure during the spot on Monday Night Raw. We're told that she, among others spoke up that the method originally pitched was not in good taste. Vince McMahon was said to have liked the spot as it played out -- more of a "possession," outside of Yim being referred to by her real name.

She looked like she was on a bad acid trip or something.

2020-10-30 06:52:47 +0000 UTCOf course Vince would like a spot involving a seizure, this is the same guy that outright said he thought someone fucking a corpse was funny.

2020-10-29 21:01:34 +0000 UTCI took it more like she was hallucinating, like there were things crawling over her she was trying to get off. I'm not sure that's any better but my head didn't go to seizure or possession 🤷

2020-10-29 16:14:25 +0000 UTCI know, that is cited within the post. The original pitch was for a seizure. She and others said no

2020-10-29 16:12:49 +0000 UTCMia wasn't trying to fake a seizure, it was demonic possession. That's why she scratched her arms and stuff first. Unfortunately people didn't distinguish the difference as well as she had hoped.

2020-10-29 16:11:52 +0000 UTCAs a die hard WWE fan, I've really ran out of excuses for Vince at this point. It was absolutely terrible and made zero sense.
