Bischoff was a great authority figure on Raw. He pandered to the heels, but there came a time where even he got sick of Evolution's poo poo. That son of a bitch is great as an on screen persona.

Yeah, Bischoff was one of the most consistently well written characters they had. Because he's an rear end in a top hat, he favors heels like himself, but if those people gently caress with his position and his ability to wield power and make money, he'll gently caress with them just as quick as he'll gently caress with a face.

Dario Cueto does the "best for business" schtick so much better than HHH and Steph.

:agreed: Like how he presented the Gift of the Gods saying "I'm a promoter, so it's not just cash-in at any time, you need to give me one week to promote the match."

I never said The Authority were good at what they do, it's just not difficult to understand their alignment with respect to the rest of the roster.

This is by no means a defense of her current character, but it's hard to think that like, last year (just around Mania, especially), Steph was a legitimate choice for Best Non-Wrestler.

sometimes you have to clean the playing field a little.

but yeah, framing The Authority as a purely heel setup doesn't work because the traditional concepts don't match up. Which begs the question, why are they there? If you have this omnipresence that can squash anything whenever they please and they do it arbitrarily, its not fun to watch.

Foley was entertaining but I found his Commissioning suspect at best. He would totally screw over heels all the time, it was annoying.

I guess they were trying to balance out the Fac-gime days and overcompensated.

Yeah it was just so wishy washy. Like he'd come out to back up The Rock when he was getting screwed over, but Lita could interfere in every Hardy Boyz match and it would never be an issue.

More matches should be booked via one wrestler confronting another, usually after a match, and engaging in competitive posing or possibly delivering a German suplex.

She was so great last year, and has been so unentertaining this year. It's kind of sad, because she was such a hateabe heel.

During the Raw after Wrestlemania, I realized Steph's problem. She totally lacks any willingness to sell + theatricality.

If Attitude Era Vince had been put in an arm bar by a famous MMA guy, he would have come out on Raw in a full arm cast, wailing about lawsuits. Steph didn't even take the night off.

Eh, they did have Steph escape before it was really locked in, but I think a promo from Steph about how close she was to being hurt and how she would have sued Ronda Rousey et al for everything they had would have been great, and instead it was just derp derp this is my playground.

NXT's very afraid of a devastating viewership hit from TNA.

quote:

Brucey Bruce • a few seconds ago
I have a theory on why NXT was following TNA on Twitter. It has to do with whether TNA was going live today or not. Long story short: NXT asking TNA if they were going live especially since they had a PPV on Sunday and they didn't want to cross paths in both shows going live at the same time so if TNA was going live, my guess is NXT would've moved Takeover (Respect) to next week rather having it tonight.

I'm sure that WWE need to discuss via Twitter when and where TNA are going to be live.

As opposed to, you know, just reading their websites or whatever.
