I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
To whoever said writers aren't constantly having to change their poo poo in tv: they are. Locations get lost, actors want to change lines, the network doesn't like something, the producer doesn't like something, or another show does your thing. Considering how much time in a wrestling show can be done by agents, wrestling seems easier hour by hour to write than other TV.

The Lana rematch is just dumb after they had Naomi kick out of her finisher and squash her twice.

That said, Lana's powerbomb thing looks cool even though it's got a pretty long setup. I thought it was a neat move. Too bad the only time it was sold worth a gently caress wasn't in an actual match.

mary had a little clam posted:

Regarding Writer/Vince/HHH chat earlier in the thread, I have a stupid question:

Do you think WWE could, if they so chose, hire the showrunner of a successful "prestige TV" show to come do a "season" of WWE and help unfuck all the dumb writing and bad planning? Like would the skills translate? I'm thinking, like, could you throw some money at Game of Thrones' David Benioff and have him point WWE in the right direction? I mean, he runs a show with like 50 main characters where the whole point is people fighting and betraying each other. Do you think that would make him able to write WWE better?

If not an outside showrunner, who would you have replace HHH/Vince as the heads of Creative?

also, this is old, but the answer is not getting another established showrunner, it's letting your writer's room actually run like a writer's room with maybe just, ten people at max, without a domineering old insane booker. Keep those people in the Titan offices, all the other writing talent are on location script writers/editors working with talent and agents and working towards the plan that isn't changed on the fly. if things go wrong with injuries, you can book filler raws at the last minute, and recover/come up with a new direction over the week.

NXT, ROH, and Lucha work because they're taped at once, meaning they're forced to follow a direction for at least some length of time, but it's false to think you can't do this with weekly live shows. You just need someone who can commit to a story line, and isn't tempted by every whim they have. You need someone who isn't a jumpy, insane booker at the helm, but you still need a booker at the end of the day, not just a prestige television director.

So what you're saying is SouthPaw Wrestling needs to come back? I agree.

A little bit ago, I was trying to think of what John Cena did at this year's Wrestlemania and I literally could not remember until I looked it up, even though I actually liked the match and he shoot proposed marriage after it.

Just write whatever stupid poo poo you want, it's not like the media is going to bother fact checking a pro wrestling story.

"Also appearing at the NJPW show will be the 7'6" Andre the Giant" sure, that sounds right. Print it.
