Bayley should get magical powers. It would fit her character imo. She could use them to harm dolph ziggler

i think jokes and fun are better than boring sincere posts, so if you're going to be earnest you had better have something to type worth reading. lemme try!SamuraiFoochs posted:What in the ever loving gently caress does this have to do with anything? Yes, talent botches. That's clearly the issue, not the systematic terrible writing, worse booking, and a fundamental either lack of knowing what works in wrestling, promos, and character work, or just not giving a gently caress that the people backstage are largely terrible. I think there's a strong case to be made that being a safe worker is the most fundamental element of being 'good' in the ring. I like the Miz a lot but it was definitely an issue for a while that anyone doing a high-flying move towards him was running a serious risk of going splat. Great wrestling, or even good wrestling involves a lot more elements and a lot of nuance but the bare minimum is protecting yourself and your opponent in the ring. It's not particularly relevant to the discussion about what ruins people on the main roster, which is often (but not always) more about the work backstage rather than the performers onstage but I do think its worth mentioning in a discussion about what makes a 'good' wrestler vs. a 'bad' wrestler. To give another example, someone commented that Bayley and Sasha suck now on the main roster. I think Bayley is still bad on the mic, maybe even worse than before being called up (which may have to do with the material she's given), but she's capable of putting on a good match. Sasha is also bad on the mic (IMO) but in contrast with Bayley, she has injured other wrestlers and has put herself in danger of being injured herself. She can have, and has had, entertaining matches, but I think she's fundamentally worse than Bayley because we can trust that Bayley will work safely.

So do I but I'm not futilely expecting WWE to suddenly reverse course and offer a product conducive to that environment.

Aphrodite posted:They almost never have to talk in NXT or run their own matches. Yet somehow they're still over. Maybe, and this is a longshot, here. NXT is just better at getting talent over than the main roster and the main roster's standards and practices are the nonsense of a 70 year old man whose brain has been fried by steroids. goddamn, those two are great.

Cena hasn't even worked a single house show since 2006. Orton since 2009. Anyone who steps into a ring for "practice" knows two things: 1. Vince wants them to either do totally silent hindu squats in there, or get out. And 2. Vince wants the product RAW

One thing Dave Meltzer keeps repeating over and over again that I am increasingly convinced is right is that there are powerful people in WWE who think that Daniel Bryan's rise is the new template for how to make a star with their modern audience, but they don't realize/accept that Bryan got over IN SPITE of how he was treated, not because of it. The fact that it became possible to retcon years of awful booking into this incredible underdog narrative that synched up with their Evil Authority storyline by pure coincidence, I think its made them drink the kool-aide in the belief that that had actually been their plan all along. If they really think it was the constant embarrassment and crushing defeats and goofy comedy that made people love Daniel Bryan because he was such an underdog, the way they've booked Bayley, Sasha, Dean, Seth, and a bunch of other guys, up to and including Roman, makes a lot more sense. Cavauro posted:Cena hasn't even worked a single house show since 2006. Orton since 2009. I saw Orton wrestle a house show in 2014.

Basically the WWE has a template for the #1 babyface. They edit it frequently but it's usually reacting to what the last guy who got over did.

maybe cross-check Cena/orton at house shows with a source that isn't a bunch of made Up bull stink before you Come around here tooting your piping hot brain. Cena's last house show was February 29 2006

Look I know you all love the fake scoopzman Shave Sheltzer, but I'll have you know that Cavauro is the real scoopzman and if he says Cena hasn't had a house show since 2006, then Cena hasn't had a house show since 2006.
