Straight up looks like they got an actor and put on over-the-top prosthetics for some mid-budget biopic about Vince McMahon.

I haven't watched WWE in a few years now, so I only tangentially know what the hell is going on... but why did Rollins "sacrifice himself for the greater good"? It makes absolutely no sense, Rollins won a match to get on the team, he didn't eliminate himself as part of a big swerve or anything. He just gave up and lost at the beginning of the match. Also he beat Otis to get in the match, but then Otis was still on the team anyway. If they wanted to pull this move why not have Seth just be named to the team by the GM or whatever, then have him get himself counted out or something to cost the team the win. Or, I dunno, have him do that and then Otis still wins the match, setting up a story between them. It just sounds really stupid unless Seth's gimmick is now "Dumb idiot who loses and acts like that was his plan". If that is his gimmick now disregard everything I said.

I think the idea is supposed to be Rollins gave a poo poo to qualify but since in the in between he lost to Rey, Murphy turned on him, and he lost to Murphy that now his response is "f it whatever."(With actual reason probably being paternity leave?) But this is WWE so I'm probably being overly generous with the reading, when the more likely factor is lolThisIsGoodShit. As for Otis not winning the original match, I think they were still trying to float the idea backstage of Big E being on the team(instead of Otis) but LOL Big E's "push" FrozenPhoenix71 fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Nov 23, 2020 |

jesus WEP posted:He needs to go on paternity leave and it would just make too much sense to give someone a rub from putting him out of action Okay yeah that makes "sense" in a weird WWE way. You can't let anybody get over so you may as well have Seth leave in the dumbest way possible so there's also no hype when he comes back.

"Dumb idiot who loses and acts like that was his plan" is the culmination of him telling a long slow-burn storyline, you can't just blurt it out like that

What gets me is that they have Baron Corbin winning King of the Ring and Money in the Bank, but as far as I can remember, he's never held a title. What the gently caress is the point? And okay, the Angle storyline going into Wrestlemania was originally supposed to be about his illegitimate son Jason Jordan, but once his career was over, they couldn't find loving anyone else?

my "hot take" is that Corbin could probably be a great heel in anywhere else but like WWE just sucks rear end so there's no good pure heels at all really, the best they can do is cool heels like the way they portray Randy Orton or Roman. they can't do proper faces either so whenever Corbin comes out to do his awful gimmicks about dog food or whatever, nobody cares. you can't blame the performers at all IMO

Rarity posted:Vince genuinely thinks Baron Corbin is a great heel Yeah, part of why I stopped watching was Baron Corbin. Over the stretch of like 3 months he was beating Shinsuke Nakamura, winning Money in the Bank, winning the US title, and CONSTANTLY involved with sometimes multiple storylines at a time. It's really bizarre - they can find hundreds of hours of TV ideas for this dude, but not Big E.

And okay, the Angle storyline going into Wrestlemania was originally supposed to be about his illegitimate son Jason Jordan, but once his career was over, they couldn't find loving anyone else? I think he maybe held the US title once? Corbin’s main role seems to be what Ziggler’s used to be. Mid-Card gatekeeper and first feud for NXT call-ups. He’s someone who should be a bigger deal on paper, but he’s just so uninspiring that he can never get over the hump. He’s just the most generic heel. Not interesting enough to be liked, but not evil or charismatic enough to build a character with real heat like an MJF. The only reaction seems to be bored indifference.

I look at Vince McMahon there, then I remember what Al Davis looked like in his final years and I think 'he's still got some distance to go yet'. Either way he is the embodiment on sin imprisoned in rotting flesh and I hope for the worst for him.

It happens all the time in the industry, especially with his generation, but I don't feel so bad for him.
