Five years ago this week (2-12-2019), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by Zack Heydorn. They talked with live callers about Monday Night Raw featuring Becky Lynch being cornered into apologizing to Stephanie McMahon and Triple H only to have Vince McMahon overrule everything and suspend her past WrestleMania and insert Charlotte into the match. Rants and near riots with live callers and later the mailbag. Frustrated fans who aren’t buying that this is the right way to tell whatever story they’re telling and landing wherever they’re landing.
