Vince is not going away, even if he dies. They’ll pull a John Henry Eden on him and upload his consciousness into a vast computer mainframe. And he will continue to book everything for another 100 years.

Phenix Rising posted:I appreciate how hard The Revival are going in on this. They know they're being buried in the dumbest way and they're destined to put their full energy behind it. Vince must be pissed that they don't look visibly sad out there. Over acting like HBK overselling against Hogan is probably the best way to go about it, TBH.

They never explained why Undertaker agreed to it. Also when Shane lost, Vince said since people like Shane so much, Shane could book RAW one last time before leaving forever. That RAW was really good both in story and for real. Then the same thing happened the week after that, and the week after that... That storyline also had no explanation. jesus WEP posted:So somehow dumber than you remember.

WWE is going to be better after Vince dies just because trips isn't going to scream in the commentators' ears all show. Triple H is also less insane even if he is just as awful.

That RAW was really good both in story and for real. Then the same thing happened the week after that, and the week after that... That storyline also had no explanation. So it seems the solution is to make Shane the onscreen booker for both shows. That way they book the shows well to make him look good, like they seem hellbent on doing with him as a wrestler.

This week's Raw was getting up there with being as bad as some of the standard Nitros from their worst years. Not as bad as the worst Nitros, but even as bad as regular weekly Nitro is still pretty loving shocking.

I hope the Usos wildcard to Smackdown and win the vacant tag titles and then wildcard to stay away from Raw next week and wildcard to Smackdown again and repeat that every week.

Spiderdrake posted:I think they loving suck but WWE has made me feel sympathy for them and excitement at seeing them join another promotion so good work WWE you've made a star! This is weird to me. It is not that long ago that The Revival were putting on some of the best tag team matches of the year in NXT. Under 3 years. I don't think they suddenly suck just because Vince McMahon has one of his many illogical hangups about tag team wrestling. Raskolnikov38 posted:if vince ever does die how long do you think it is before trips puts the main title on himself HHH is the world's biggest HHH mark but I also think he's self aware enough that doing the business stuff isn't conducive to wrestling a regular schedule which you'd normally expect from the top champ. It's definitely possible but on the other hand he's not a senile old man completely out of touch and surrounded by yes men while pretending to hate yes men so he's not going to be worse than Vince. And all that aside, HHH is a big dumb wrestling fan, in the positive sense. He's not desperately embarrassed to be involved in wrestling and trying to kid on he's not, he loves Ric Flair and Harley Race and 80s NWA stuff. He's not a man weirdly neurotic about wrestling's southern past, he doesn't seem to wish he was a Hollywood guy instead of a wrestling guy. I don't think it'll be perfect post-Vince, I don't think the WWE's business practices will improve much if at all, but the actual TV programme? Yeah, even if Hunter pushes himself as the main champ it'll still be a better wrestling show.

If nothing else I think HHH will let people use normal human words for things like belts and tournaments and crowds and it’ll make the whole thing less hostile to watch

I don't think they suddenly suck just because Vince McMahon has one of his many illogical hangups about tag team wrestling. I guess an argument could be made that even Enzo and Cass were considered a strong tag-team worthy of a title win back when they were in NXT, and they had exciting matches. Hell, The Ascension still get a heroes welcome whenever they return to NXT: they were booked well there regardless of their actual limitations. But I'm one of those in the boat of "Vince McMahon is just being a loving idiot", I'm pretty sure the Revival could deliver a fantastic series of tag matches with a whole bunch of teams on the roster if they were given even half the opportunities they regularly got in NXT. As always the common denominator in "Why is thing/person that was good suddenly not good anymore?" is WWE.

I doubt they'd ever be main event guys on the main roster but were they even given a chance? In development they were serious and dominant, did they ever get presented half as well on the main roster? That's the other hope for Vince no longer being in charge, greater communication between development and main roster. At least some discussion about gimmicks because little point getting over at Full Sail only to get brought up and rapidly told "got nothing for you".

rare Magic card l00k posted:also in their debut they were mocked for being lovely road warrior ripoffs This is so dumb. Ripping off established popular gimmicks is pro wrestling! Demolition and half a dozen other power & paint tag teams in the 80s! Imagine being WWF and mocking Demolition on their debut. That'll get them over. Like, every 2nd face tag team in the 80s was a version of the Rock'n'Roll Express. It was fine. The gimmick worked for a reason, people were somehow convinced Robert Gibson was a heartthrob.
