Jack Krauser posted:Was heel J.R. as bad as they say? It wasn't bad so much as everyone felt bad for him, hated Michael Cole, and recognized him as the best announcer in the business, so he was a sympathetic babyface to the fans. His heel promos were fine but nobody was going to be willing to boo him.

Well.... I don't think DX buried Legacy, but... The match where HHH 'couldn't handle' Legacy ended with HHH on the mat, talking into a microphone going 'oh man you guys are so good I guess I'm not tough oh welp welp' and I mean, it didn't seem very sincere. Then they had 3 matches, of which Legacy lost 2, the second one they lost involved them being defeated by HHH in about 3 minutes after beating up HBK for 20. And now Legacy is feuding with.... Kofi are they even or is that Randy? What is Legacy doing? Treading water? Yeah.... I mean, it was a good feud for Legacy but its not like they whipped the poo poo out of DX or anything.

Who has Michaels put over in the last 3 years that wasn't already at a main-event level? I mean, the only people on the PPV match list that weren't former top belt holders are Kennedy and Legacy, and most of the RAW feuds have been with people like Miz/Morrison, Kozlov, Masters, and others who didn't get elevated as a result of the feud. What is your definition of 'put over?' And like FishBulb said, Shawn gets dropped into a triple threat for the title pretty much just because, and Legacy go back to farting around the upper midcard losing to MVP and Mark Henry and maybe starting a feud with Kofi or something.

That's a strawman and you know it. If this is how you really interpreted my post then you really need to work on your reading comprehension. I don't know why I bother replying though. You probably interpreted this post as supporting the free market or something.

What is your definition of 'put over?' Michaels gave Masters, Shelton, and Legacy their best matches to date. That's just off the top of my head. If those guys can't make use of the exposure of an even-sided match with a main event star to get themselves over then that is another matter entirely. In my opinion, Legacy are two of the most generic, boring guys on the main event/near-main event level. The fact they are now feuding with Kofi Kingston (per FishBulb) is not necessarily a "bad" thing, but it seems a hell of a lot more appropriate than most would like to admit. I don't think anyone watching (except for smarks) is going to be bothered by an older, more established star "winning" a feud. In fact, it would be awkward if they didn't come out on top given how more established stars are painted as being "more skilled" and at an advantage in just about every storyline. The fact the younger stars come out as the "losers" of a feud or match is only a bad thing if the affair is incredibly one-sided, which cannot be said to be the case with any of Michaels' work with younger stars. As long as they are not outright embarrassed (Cena vs. Miz), they get "put over" by standing toe-to-toe with a bigger star and looking good until the 3-count. They are given a platform on which to raise their popularity/heat and their profile with the audience. That is all you can ask for when it comes to matches between a younger star and more established main eventer. What is happening here is that Michaels' reputation is just too drat difficult to shake off. The fact he has "won" most of those feuds is not uncommon amongst feuds that involve main event level going up against mid-carders. Magic_Ceiling_Fan posted:To be fair, DX kind of buried legacy. Legacy buried themselves by being a tag team composed of a guy with a speech impediment and none of his father's charisma and "some other guy".

They aren't feuding with Kofi, they aren't doing anything, Randy is feuding with Kofi and they are... tagging along with Randy, which is what they were doing before they feuded with DX. I.E. they went from feuding with DX, two of the biggest stars in the company, to being Randy's lackys again and feuding with either nobody or a guy that might be on the rise depending on where things go now. They have not been elevated in position on the card or anything. I mean, I think its pretty obvious at this point that they are just waiting on pulling the trigger on having them turn on Randy, but right nothing is really happening. Regardless of the matches they had with DX its hard to say that they got a big bump by feuding with them, considering what they have done since that feud ended. Obviously they have to build some teams for the Survivor Series match (assuming there will be one) and its a lot easier to get a 5 person team if you start with 3, so Legacy isn't going anywhere this month... If they deserve to be pushed or elevated at all is another entire discussion. FishBulb fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Nov 1, 2009 |
