Imagine me posting a picture of Road Dogg here. God loving drat he needs to be removed from creative. He's offensively bad at this point. It doesn't help that he lashes out at anyone on twitter who dares to criticize his booking.

I remember when it first started Raw booked the 6 way tag like 3 weeks in a row, but something caused it not to happen every time. Smackdown just ran it repeatedly.

Free tv matches don't really matter as long as they take up the time it takes to sell people on the network. i remember when they used to run evolution vs whoever over and over as the main event of raw throughout 2003 and 2004 and it was one of the peaks of the industry. It wastes less time that Can be used on other things to book tag matches and multi-wrestler matches and people love to see them because of the spectacle.

remember when road dogg said wins and losses don't matter like it's one thing to say that, it's another to say that and then book in such a way that makes it very clear you think wins and losses matter

Road Dogg's booking philosophy is very sound. Here's hoping it spreads to RAW. They should tape some stupid rear end show no one watches after RAW and then ensure that Roman Reigns never appears during all 3 hours of the program so the fans will stick around for his dark match after they finish taping whatever the stupid show following RAW is. Never having your brand's top star appear on television is great, I love it.

They're carnies, and corporate moguls of the entertainment industry. It's the perfect storm of utter shamelessness and fondness for mealy-mouthed "taking a stand" that only serves to flatter them. We have yet to see how incoherent things could get.

They're trying to quash Lita out of cowardice, nothing more.

Too bad no one was on hand to tell them that they didn't know and to call someone for further information.

I'd like a total count of every wrestler's 3vs3 count in the last 3 years. There's no way the top 3 in the company aren't Charlotte, Sasha, and Becky, then after a HUGE drop you get naomi, then finally the new day after another huge drop. Becky better be careful throwing shade at the writers or she's gonna get Emma'D. I dunno which level of Emma'D but one of them. I hope its Beckylina cause the thought of the dorkiest woman on the roster trying to be a vixen sounds like it'd be a garbage fire thats so bad it wraps around to being good.

It was right around the time that The Rock was cutting promos about how he's the hardest worker in the WWF and how night after night he steals the show.

So it was brought up in the stupid wrestling fan thread, but Aphrodite reminded me that Carmella has the Money in the Bank briefcase. I wonder if WWE regrets putting it on her? She's pretty much completely dead in the water. No one takes her seriously anymore, and she lost all of her heat after James Ellsworth was released. While her cashing in could give her some momentum back, I don't see it lasting long, considering no one takes her seriously at all, along with the fact that she had the most losses of any main roster woman in 2017. I think her winrate in 2017 was 10.1%. For reference, the three lowest winrates among the women's main roster in 2017 was Nia Jax (14.1%), Tamina (12.4%), and Carmella (10.1%). On the other hand, I can't see her losing the cash in either. But if the rumors are true about Asuka vs Charlotte being the Wrestlemania matchup, her window to cash in is rapidly closing. WWE isn't high enough on Carmella to have her cash in and beat Asuka, so her only real time to cash in would be sometime in the next few weeks (Fastlane is probably the best time, considering we'll probably get Ruby Riott vs Charlotte, and Riott Squad can beat down Charlotte post match). Which also begs the question, does Carmella even have a non submission finisher move? That isn't a roll up?

There was some article from a former WWE writer where he just flat out said they just pick a guy to get the briefcase without having any kind of long-term plan, have him lose because hey, he's got the briefcase, he can afford it and then almost always get buyer's remorse on them. I've said this a few times, but Carmella cut the best promo of her life after MitB and the only good thing from that farce of a match was that she genuinely did have a lot of heat and momentum. And then WWE promptly did gently caress-all for the next eight months and now she's at rock bottom and staring down the barrel of a situation where her choices are A) Fail to cash in on Asuka, B) Fail to cash in on Rousey, C) Oh and by the way, the briefcase expires in June. It's total bullshit. MJeff fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Feb 16, 2018 |
