I'd like to tell you what they REALLY think backstage about Metsfan, but I'm not prepared to break the privacy of the many important backstage figures that I personally know and am friends with. It's really juicy though. Such a pity.

The booking does have a role to play, though. It's unfair to chant at the wrestlers when they don't have any power over Vince saying "Ok, you're getting a minute each of a 6-woman tag match", but then it's also unfair to chant poo poo at Reigns when his big problem is booking, too. There just isn't a simple and easy way, when you're in a crowd, to get across "I have no issue with these wrestlers but the booking of them is terrible, it's entirely possible I'd be enjoying these people with a better match."

TNA is on a channel (Is? Was? Can't be arsed to check but I would imagine still is) that you can either get with a one-time purchase of a box to sit on your tv, or is just built into your TV now. WWE is on the equivalent of cable. So assuming TNA are pushing some hilarious bullshit like "number of households that could watch TNA" (which of course they are), that's probably most people in the UK now.

It's time to draw the line. This far, and no further. Apparently.Chris Regal posted:If you're a regular reader of my columns, you know that I've consistently said that the behind the scenes matters don't concern me simply because they don't ultimately affect the television product. A few weeks ago, however, I began to have my doubts and shared with you my thoughts about that in one of my Randomania pieces and in particular TNA's inability to get away from the Impact Zone and other issues starting to affect Impact. Unfortunately, this week's show was a complete mess and I think it's time to recognize that there's something rotten in the state of TNA.

Magnus's AMA is not being taken entirely well on Mecca. That TNA, always cunningly swerving their fans to make people think they're a terrible company with many backstage problems. I can't wait for the payoff on that one.

Maxwell Lord posted:Jake the Snake is a good example of a heel using their flashy move well, to frustrate and anger the audience by suddenly bringing the match to an end. A lot of heel finishers are like that, just "no matter what, I can drop you immediately." Really there's nothing wrong with someone you're supposed to boo having a cool move so long as the reaction you get is begrudging respect. "I really don't want him to win, but that was pretty great, I have to admit." You can have a heel using impressive or flashy moves all day long so long as the desire of the audience for them to lose (or the face to win) is a stronger impression. Just have some big storyline or character point that makes them hateable.

My favourite part is still "I'll take the word of people who work for TNA over internet news", because sure there's plenty of bullshit online but I don't think there's ever been a promoter who hasn't lied and lied again even to the locker room, let alone to the fans. And TNA and Dixie have a reputation even in the wrestling industry for lying (and being caught out lying).

It seems like every piece of bad news out of TNA makes Regal "excited for TNA's future". I mean, self-delusion that everything is going to be fine and everyone backstage are happy and trying their best to fix issues is one thing, but being so thrilled for the future goes to a place I can't even pity anymore.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Not only that, but some dudes are able to mitigate poor ring work with mic skills. The women on WWE's roster who are poor workers are also poor promos. It's not that you can't have women who are poor workers promoted as monsters - look at Chyna. It's that WWE for years gave zero shits about a) any level of wrestling ability and b) any kind of consistent booking. And women who were the physical equivalents of someone like Strowman or Ryback weren't ever going to get signed.

natetimm posted:Maybe it's me, but I can't really discern any real difference in personality or character between most of the divas currently on WWE programming, except Flair's daughter. None of them seem to have a real gimmick or unique thing and their interviews all seem to bog down into them all being similarly bitchy to each other. Without the crowd noise and having seen some stuff on the internet, I wouldn't even be able to tell who is the face and heel most of the time. Obviously, most of that is piss-poor writing on WWE's part, but man is it bad. *Or social media, with Naomi and Tamina, though that's to a lesser extent.

Plus she got a very split crowd (because who doesn't love Sasha?) to get solidly behind Bayley. The sort of mind that says "I'm being cheered, but that's not what I want right now, I should do something about that." is one that should go far.

I'm sure in Vince's mind the New Day are still exactly the dancing, singing black men gimmick he wanted, and that he considers it a total success.

For all the talk about how real wrestling fans wouldn't want a wrestling company to fail, there's a lot of sticking it to WWE and Vince in some form over there. A Super Bowl ad would be the holy grail, but no, it's all about how much it'd make McMahon and his marks poo poo bricks.

Nitpicking, but I never got how that was meant to work. Twin Magic is dumb but the ref is unaware, so at least it works. Brie pulling out tissue stuffed in her top is admitting they cheated.

I get that. But she wasn't supposed to be in the match, no? "Yeah, I got pinned, but I was just pretending to be my sister in this ruse to make sure a fresh wrestler was in the ring" is still cheating, even if she hosed up. \/ Oh, that's true. Duh.
