It is in WWE's best interest if the reason you pay money to see them is because it is WWE. If they have a Rock or Austin, the reason you pay money is for them, and therefore when they leave you might too.

Ok I have a better grasp of this I guess. I stopped watching around the WCW purchase and just got back into it a couple years ago so I missed a lot.

MassRafTer posted:Didn't stop them from doing it with Cena and it doesn't stop them from doing it with Brock who they sign to deals that pretty much guarantee he has maximum leverage against them. They are just really bad at booking, not booking badly on purpose. They badly wanted Roman to be a larger than life superstar. i think a better way of putting the situation is that they're willing to have a super-star but only if they're perfectly molded to the brand image vince wants to project. and then because no one likes generic corporate approved babyface no one gets over doing it

rovert posted:Russo has admitted he has issues with depression and whatever else. However, he beats his chest about not getting help about it as he is an old-school Italian or whatever excuse. I wouldn't be surprised. Don't know what his mental state was like before his WCW run, but in the short time he was in the ring he definitely got a bunch of concussions.

Goldberg speared Russo into believing in God and being a sanctimonious prick about it all while he gets to proclaim he's "forgiven" and therefore no bad thing he's ever done matters. Between that and ending Bret's career, that's quite the rap sheet.

I had never heard the part of the HBK/Rock storyline before where a young Rock apparently beat up Shawn Michaels backstage during his Midnight Rockers days, because he was causing trouble for the Rock's mom Edit: On nicer to HBK news, apparently the reason they did the bit where Daniel Bryan put HBK in the Yes Lock despite having no plans to do a match between them is because the ORIGINAL plan was for HBK to superkick Bryan and leave him laying with absolutely no comeback, and Michaels pointed out that if this guy was going to be their new Champion they shouldn't be chumping him out and had to give him SOMETHING.

I could have sworn the reason why he gave Daniel that moment was because he asked in a creative meeting “so what are you doing with Bryan?” and the response was “oh we’re done with that” and he was like “you can’t just leave a guy like that looking like a chump, put him in my segment and I’ll put him over” and because he’s Shawn they went along with it

Which is hilarious because everyone assumed that angle was setting up Bryan/Michaels at Mania the next year. LOL, nope, WWE had literally no follow up planned. (But they totally planned to put Bryan over in the end and didn't change plans at all when Batista got booed out of the building at the Rumble, guys, we swear)
