Maybe we could just have cool matches without over the top stupid Face/Heel dynamics? Like how in real sports people root for their favorites and only the New York Yankees are literally hitler.

Or we could have Bray Wyatt be Bray Wyatt and THE AUTHORITY exist so we can have cool badass heels because that's what wrestling was in the 1980s and must always be.

You can have someone like AJ Styles or The Young Bucks be heels simply because they're cocky assholes. If you want to talk about 'reality' or people hating a heel be what draws, then gently caress, how is that not better anyway. I know a lot of people like heel AJ Styles. I sure don't know any loving legitimate sociopaths in real life which seems to be the basis for completely irredeemable evil no likable feature heels.

TNA also did a feud between Abyss and Stevie Richards, where babyface Abyss looked like a giant dickhead bully in their PPV match because Stevie got zero offense on him and was being slaughtered. There's probably A Way to book a giant monster face against a much-smaller heel, but lol@doing it like that.

Gimmicks that prop up the little guy. A hostile ref, being outnumbered by his gang at ringside, banning moves the big guy uses a lot, etc.

The Undertaker (star created in 1990) showed up to "Undertaker" chants and big cheers. He said he's a remorseless, vengeful grim reaper. He said the painful truth is streaks are made to be broken, but Brock Lesnar (star created in 2002) had to remind everyone week after week of his greatest accomplishments, and enough is enough. Lesnar has taken what was once smoldering ashes and turned it into a raging inferno. Undertaker said last night was his resurrection.

Charlotte won with the Figure 8. Brie Bella (50/50. Since a pattern?) was a step slow in spots, particularly when Charlotte missed a Pescado before the break. Brie threw kicks to Charlotte's body and the crowd chanted "Yes" in salute of Daniel Bryan (star created in 2012, despite the company's best efforts otherwise). Nikki, Alicia Fox (50/50) were in Brie's corner while Paige (50/50) and Becky Lynch (2nd Raw) cheered on Charlotte.

I've read this twice and I don't know whether to be more confused about why every wrestler needs to have their 'got over in' year attached, or over what the hell 50/50 means


E: Ok guessed it was from f4w, read the full article and I guess 50/50 means midcarder, but doesn't make it any less weird. Where do you go to complain about this guy

It's lovely writing but the point was everyone in WWE is just a parity booked midcarder no one cares about or a star created 10-30 years ago

which is true but write an article about it don't spam a recap people are only reading for the results with it

Brie Bella has 50/50 vision and can see into your soul.

The reason why she married Daniel Bryan is because he's so beaten up and dead inside, he no longer has one, so her gift doesn't work on him.

quote:

"Oh, not me, I never lost control. You're face to face with the man who sold the world."
- The Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie

Jeff Jarrett sits in a dressing room at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida. His mind races with memories as he gazes at the King of the Mountain Championship that rests on his lap. It's been three hours since he hooked that title and won a match he never thought he'd compete in again, in a place he was sure he'd never be in again.

It's funny the strange roads that life takes you down. He's been telling anyone who will listen that a year ago, a month ago, heck, even a week ago, this scenario would have been unthinkable. And yet here he is. The locker room is empty and the wrestlers have all gone home. The only sounds are the clanging and banging of crew members taking apart the ring and of course, the sound of the memories in his head... oh, the memories.

For the founder of TNA Wrestling, Slammiversary was less about reliving the memories of this place and more about setting the stage for what's to come, because no matter how much he loves his new role and the things he's doing with Global Force Wrestling, he'd be lying if he said it didn't stick in his craw about how TNA slipped away from him.

That's why he took the call from TNA management, that's why he came to Impact and that's why he fought tooth and nail to become the undisputed King of the Mountain. This wasn't just a match, and it sure wasn't a farewell. This was an awakening for Jeff Jarrett, both personally and professionally, and if wrestling fans think they have seen the last of Double J, they're wrong. Dead wrong.

Jeff Jarrett has overcome a lot in his life. He's won and lost things many of us can't comprehend and yet, he's never lost sight of what matters. As a man of faith, Jarrett trusts that his Lord will guide him to where he needs to be in order to provide for his family and to maintain his legacy in a business that runs through his veins.

Jeff Jarrett trusts that he's in a TNA locker room again for a reason, and already in his head, the cogs of a plan are beginning to turn. It's a plan that will carry him through GFW's Amped TV tapings in Las Vegas and eventually back again to TNA. What Jeff will do on this journey has gotten people interested but for now, he's content to leave them guessing. Rest assured, though, what unfolds might not just change Jeff Jarrett's place in wrestling – it may just change wrestling as we know it.

Karen Jarrett knocks on the locker room door and urges her husband to get dressed and go home. Looking down at his phone, Jeff sees missed calls, texts and tweets from people in AAA, New Japan, House of Hardcore, GFW and ROH. Jarrett smiles to himself and mutters under his breath, "Who says territories are dead?" And with that, as he rises to his feet, the King of the Mountain has reached the point where he's gone from being the man who sold the world, to being the man who just might rule the world... of wrestling.

tl;dr Jeff Jarrett zones out in a locker room and misses a bunch of important calls and texts while his wife tells him to put his clothes on and go home

Dave Meltzer on the Makabe/Ishii match from Dominion

"Because of the way the match was going I'm not sure these spots weren't on purpose to tell you that this match is falling apart because he's hurt and make it more real. It did feel like that was the case. When you can take a match to the level where you go beyond suspending...know this was like in a new dimension of believability in a sense that you know it's fake but what is real and what is not real as far as what is going on in this match and then they're blowing spots and are they really the blowing spots because the blown spots seem to figure in."

I like people using AJ and the Bucks as examples of heels who can do flashy moves, even though they couldn't stay heel here because they're so entertaining in the ring.
