Yeah from the glimpses I’ve seen over the past few months they’ve found a good space for Johnny after some overexposure directionlessness, so it’s a good time to stick him with a Ghostface army and sex pest henchman. I don’t mind them having Raquel pin Io to set up a title feud but you have to worry about Trips getting overly enamored with his new shiny heel toy. Also between that and the men’s match seemingly being used to extend storylines instead of serving as a blowoff, you kind of start to wonder what the point of the whole exercise is

The simple truth is that currently "creative" don't have anything for anyone. Which is why so many segments reoccur with different people on each show.

Procrastinator posted:if you look at things from the perspective of "what is the easiest way to set ourselves up to book more title matches on tv?", everything makes sense imo. booking your PPV's as a way to get people to watch the tv show is what TNA would do during its worst era so this makes sense.

Like, they're not running house shows anymore, they already have all the Thunderdome footage locked in, they have access to all these chants etc... NOBODY has the time to work on it or is able to figure out that starting the sound file right on the first syllable and already in perfect unison is gonna sound weird? Actually, let me rephrase that. I'm sure there are PLENTY of people there who know that, but none of them are the ones who get to make these decisions. Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Dec 7, 2020 |

It's astounding how well NXT can build up stars just for them to go nowhere and sink down the cards just as fast. I'm starting to become a Shotzi fan now, if she manages to make it up to the main roster, well Look at Ruby. At the same time, amazing how many stars NXT gets handed who are already made and manage to do absolutely nothing with them. See: Io Shirai, who for the most part just flips off things and acts feral in her entrance.

Vince most likely personally approves every bit of footage and every chant that plays. The only reason we don't have massive "BA-RON COR-BIN" or "LA-CEY EV-ANS!" chants breaking out every episode is because they're still busy mixing together Vince saying those things dozens of times in different voices.

Why does Gargano have a Ghostface army? I know WWE has overdone the masked mobs/ninjas thing in general, but what is the justification for a goofy heel having a bunch of indiscriminate masked henchmen, let alone ones wearing Scream masks? Is there anything about his character that informs this?

The Dexter Lumis character would be so much better flipped. "creepy guy who does cartoons" doesn't work as well as "midway caricaturist who secretly messes people up"

It’s short for Rouxgaroux. An awesome spooky little monster from Cajun folklore. I grew up learning all about it and now, it has been reborn under the guise of a baby from THE MAN and THE KINGSLAYER https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rougarou
