the last couple pages of this thread are the first time I've seen anyone on this board express any kind of opinion on dewey foley or heard mention of any angle he came up with, this whole thing falls apart when you start suggesting curtis axel signs were confiscated because 1) nobody has ever brought a curtis axel sign to a live event and 2) wwe would never listen to pitches for getting curtis axel over fwiw it's my understanding he's not a full on writer and merely an assistant

Alain Post posted:big dave has repeatedly mentioned that the idea is to use the CW matches on RAW to set up payoffs on the network On one hand, the only people who will see the CWs do good stuff are people who pay for the network, which is a very small fraction of the WWE audience. If most of the good stuff is happening on the network, people will continue to not give a gently caress about them on Raw because they won't be doing their cool flippy poo poo there. It could also hurt the division since the shows are going on after SD's main event, so a lot of the audience will probably leave instead of watching. On the other hand, if the CWs start doing impressive stuff on Raw and make you want to see more, maybe you'll pay for the network if you aren't already. It's also probably cheap to put together, since they are already using the arena for SD Live.

Curtis axel is an extremely good worker and almost as safe as Heath Slater. Guy is going to be around for awhile if only for those qualities. I'm sure he'll end up a coach at some point.

Alain Post posted:I still don't understand how giving them an additional hour of WWE programming is the worst burial in the history of wrestling WWE already had 3 hours to get cruiserweights over (on a non PPV week). If they couldn't do it in three, why should people believe the fourth will help in any way that isn't just padding Efexeye posted:i have the network and i've never watched anything on it that wasn't a pay per view because holy christ, how can you want more WWE than the 26 hours a month you already get through TV and PPV Basically 8 to 11 (or even 13 on the rare Takeover+WWE PPV weeks) hours a week. At some point, you're oversaturating the product thinking it's helping

I'd rather watch Swerved, the E&C show, Ride Along, Table for 3, etc than any given hour of Raw/Smackdown. Also Talking Smack whenever Miz/Alexa/Harper isn't on it.

Prinze suggested that McMahon knows very little about popular culture and entertainment beyond his own professional wrestling empire.
