DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I choose to believe that Daniel Bryan is intentionally harassing The Miz and treating him the same way the Authority treated him in order to light a fire under his rear end and make him climb the ladder to greatness once more. He just wants to do a solid for his former mentor. Once Miz wins the world title again he will reveal his plan and they'll hug and usher in a new era of Mizness.

Miz is a heel and D-Bry is a babyface, that's how they used to do the booking back in the territories, or that's what I hear on podcasts.

The Miz has "heat" with me as a fan of Ziggler, so I want him to lose to a babyface

Is this like how Rusev's wife gets sexually harassed weekly and he has an issue with it happening, so he's the heel

Are you saying Miz is really the babyface? But his wife sprayed the Ziggy with mysterious eye stuff several times, and he didn't defend the belt for months, and he's done bad thingies to Aaron Rex etc


(For the record I think The Miz is great, I just think stuff like him and Alexa winning clean and whatnot, they're just burying all their babyfaces. Not great longterm booking)

STOP DOING HEROIN
WWE is so lovely at making babyfaces that the fans get bored and and want them to turn heel, they turn heel and the fans like them again, they turn back face and become lovely and boring again.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Joe is going to get a face pop when he shows up anyways, should just debut him on Smackdown to challenge AJ for the belt and then turn him heel later. He's such a good heel though. They really need another face besides Dean, if only they had built up Apollo.

Better Living Through Birding And Pessimism
Yeah their main problem is their philosophy on faces is just the absolute worst. What they think people will cheer for just winds up making everyone hate the guys to the point that turning them heel is the only way to make them likable again. They think that people just want to watch someone smiling all the time which makes me think of some sleazeball rather than a guy I want to root for. Then they want us to feel sorry for the faces which gets no one excited. They have them do the same jokey style of promo that sounds like imitating the Rock's style. They just have no idea how to make guys genuinely likable and they fail time and time again and never, ever seem to revise their approach or learn anything whatsoever.

So turning guys heel might help those guys in the short term but it's not gonna fix their problem of having no understanding of what makes a likable face.

i get the impression people think he's a meaningless third wheel on commentary who serves no purpose which he kind of is but i find most of his interjections about the story of a match or his perspective on whatever wrestling angle is happening interesting. He seems alot more comfortable talking with wwe's weird jargon that doesn't sound like actual human beings talk because he's a nerdlinger who has done a bunch of PR training so i believe him when he says "championship opportunity"

when he isn't being fed bad comedy lines, that is, but that's not specific to him and has plagued wwe commentary for years

imo Otunga's found a real niche as a "slice of white bread with the crusts cut off" face commentator. He's like a voice actor from Deus Ex, corny in the best possible way

Bryan brings in Joe to shut up Miz, Joe wins the title and then immediately goes full monster heel and Bryan realizes that he's made a huge mistake.

The only thing I can think of is their preshow thing is donezo, but idk what that has to do with the caption

Or what any of this has to do with the real story of Styles needing a vacation if people want him to not die

Did they and Taker take out his ankle in the postshow? hosed up that Dunn wouldn't air that on TV if so
