WWE periodically come up with certain "buzz words" which they tend to push over and over, often times to the point of annoyance.  I'm not talking about the "what", or "yes" chants that really catch on with the fans, i'm talking about the terms "ruthless aggression", "WWE Universe" instead of "fans", "titles" instead of "belts", and most recently referring to the team of Goldust and Stardust as "Gold and Stardust".  Calling fans the "WWE universe" all the time sounds dumb and often times it seems the announcers say these terms just for the sake of saying them, probably as directed by Vince.  Why does Vince insist on pushing these terms?

Vince loves buzzwords. He feels it is a part of branding the WWE product, which to be fair it is. With that said, yes they absolutely overdo them.

While I am well aware that there is no logic required sometimes in the wrestling world, do you see a scenario where The Authority strip the title off of Brock Lesnar for inactivity like they did when Daniel Bryan went for surgery?  It would make sense if Vince wants to get the belt back into circulation for TV and PPV without having Lesnar lose.  It could also set up an angry beast returning for "his" belt around the Rumble and maybe even a face turn?

From a logic standpoint, it would be a stretch since, after all, The Authority brought Brock in to get it off of Cena in the first place. With that said, WWE logic often ignores the past. With that said, stripping Brock of the Title helps no one from a storyline standpoint so I don’t see that happening unless Brock gets hurt.

I've watched a few episodes of the Monday Night Wars show they've put on the WWE Network, and one thing I've heard over and over again on it, from multiple people, including Vince himself, is you need to listen to the fans and give them what they want.  If he was willing to listen to us back then (well he claims he was anyways), why is he so hostile to that idea now?

There is a question I have no legitimate answer to. I wish I did, I really do. My guess is he would say he does listen, he just hears things that the average fan doesn’t.

Whenever someone is bleeding in archived footage on Monday Night War why is that archived footage in black & white?

Society has changed since then and blatantly bleeding is against company rules today due to the prevalence of blood born diseases. WWE distances itself from blood as much as possible today, which is a prudent business move.

I haven't watched wrestling for too long but I remember a character named Big Dick Johnson. Who was this? Also what was the point of having him? I can see kids having nightmares for months after seeing this.

He was, at the time, a member of the Creative Team named Chris DeJoseph. Vince McMahon found it funny. I sure didn’t. I can see anyone having nightmares after seeing that.
