Fat Lowtax posted:The thing about this RAW was that it wasn't even memorably bad. Nothing ridiculous happened. It just reminded me of a late-stage Impact in that every single thing was completely inconsequential. I imagine everything was pushed to the side in favour of preping Vince for the interview and making GBS threads on CM Punk during meetings. Plus Thanksgiving meant they couldn't get that crutial 7th rewrite of Raw where they put back in the original script.

DrVenkman posted:It's crazy because if you're Cesaro, what do you do now? You know you'll never be able to get anywhere so do you just keep losing or go somewhere that's smaller but might appreciate you. Go up to Vince and demand to be released from your contract because you know that if Vince isn't interested he's got other places he can go to make money. Vince should ether be impressed enough that he'll give you a small push you can try to capitalise on or you can go to New Japan.

Why aren't these young guys impressing me and going out of their way to grab the brass ring in my tightly scripted, creatively stifling environment where experimentation and dissent are swiftly punished?

Moral in the locker room must be at rock bottom. The boss took an accusation that he only cares about John Cena to the detriment of the product and basically said "That's entirely true, gently caress my roster." I don't know how anyone can hear Vince say that and not realise that the roster is screwed from the start.

Jesus. Slater is like the last guy on the roster that I thought would be capable of something like that. I mean he just seems like such a child like idiot.

And if this is to be believed: Luigi Thirty posted:Apparently they've been trying to get a warrant issued for 3 years but nobody would do it. The original report was he had some kind of alibi but if he did it in the middle of a room, uh Then it's probably the cops who dragged their feet.

Nah it's just that the Heath Slater fan club consists of his mum and their dog. His dad's no dead, he's just no caring. Now getting attacked by the legions of wankers who all come out of the woodwork to support rapists, that's a genuine worry.

Also everyone in the WWE that's making GBS threads on Punk should read this and take it to heart. Big Dave Meltzer posted:Some people will interpret this as WWE = bad, others as Punk is an egomaniac, some of his facts weren’t correct, and use that to absolve WWE of anything negative. The reality is somewhere in the middle. oatgan posted:have you seen a Robert De Niro movie lately? Are you knocking the Fockers?

DrVenkman posted:Listening to the second Punk podcast, it increasingly seems like WWE is run like a cult that tries really hard to get people to forget there's a world outside of the WWE. You don't get opportunities, they hand you gifts. They take anything that someone might achieve on their own and spin it into something they're giving you. They take away any personal responsibility. It's almost like an abusive relationship. The way Punk tells it it's like Punk was on the cusp of becoming a mainstream celebrity (or at least all over the shop in the public eye) and WWE did everything in it's power to stop that happening. Like the WWE wants their wrestlers to become big but only if they're the guys who won't become too big for their britches. Also highlights a problem with the WWE and big buisness in general that they'll stuff a bunch of legal sounding mumbo jumbo into their contracts with no actual basis in law and hope that they'll get away with it because nobody has the money to take them to task on it.

I wouldn't say the WWE is hosed. Far from it, they'll be making money for generations. It's not getting any better though.

CM Punk will prove, just as Brock Lesner did, that Pro Wrestling is the ultimate in martial arts. So long as he starts the fight with a forward flip heel kick he'll be fine.

Thauros posted:Dave and Bryan are speculating that Dean Ambrose may be removed from the PPV and Reigns will take his place in the match. Again, this is speculation mind you, but apparently they're claiming that Ambrose's kayfabe injury is the rather severe crushed trachea and Reigns is ready so it would make sense. That would be the quickest way to make fans turn on Reigns.

Cardboard Box posted:i haven't seen it but dave has talked about seeing roman reigns at press events and he's really quick and clever which just doesn't come across on tv at all with his lame overly scripted promos The majority of the roster is really charismatic when they're doing their own stuff. Cesaro is very quick witted and suave when unscripted. But they can only read what's written, and what's written is crap. Steve Austin wouldn't get as over as he did today through no fault of his own. Gonzo McFee fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Dec 8, 2014 |
