As with the other McMahons she would work fine in smaller doses, but the family just can’t not constantly put themselves over.

beepo posted:Yeah but she might accidentally go through a table every 18 months so def worth it imo I at least sorta get this. You can't have a male wrestler purposefully inflict violence on Stephanie. Ever. Period. The end. The spots she did at WM32 and 33 are about as much comeuppance as she can get for tormenting a male superstar. And, uh, after showing off her loving world class submission defense she did eventually let Ronda beat the poo poo out of her a few times? So. Yay? It's fuckin' weird that they actually had a situation where Steph could perfectly play Vince by tormenting Becky week in and week out and instead they just put Becky in a series of heatless garbage feuds against a bunch of loving nobodies (and Asuka).

It's almost as if the second generation of the evil boss is treated with literal kid gloves when it comes to receiving comeuppance.

Vince only brings up his father when it suits his purposes to sell the idea of WWE being dominant for so long, most of the rest of the time he likes to pretend he's a self-made man who single-handedly created a company that immediately went National and "saved" the pro-wrestling industry. His grandfather was a promoter too I think, but strictly boxing?

Jess McMahon was primarily a boxing and baseball promoter but did promote some wrestling too in New York in the thirties where he worked with Carlos Louis Henriquez and Jim Browning

Remember when Stephanie and Brie were feuding and instead of Stephanie getting her comeuppance at the end she somehow replaced herself in the feud with Nikki and then somehow Nikki won the feud and made her sister her slave and then they just dropped the angle completely? Good times, good times.

It's kind of the offshoot of them trying to have their cake and eat it with nice Unca' Paul and Auntie Steph talking about their NXT kids and WWE's charity work (it's the furture of marketing, doncha know) while being evil heels in hour 2 of the show before the video package about Make A Wish airs and they're back to being good guys. Basically, WWE The Company Is Good, so babyfaces can't be shown to be in conflict with the company, even if the heels are representing the company. If the company is Good, then the good guy is the dilligent employee that loves their brand and is grateful for the opportunity to work for such a great business, not someone who says "gently caress da Man".

I know it's sort of cheating to post Ryan Satin, but I'm just astonished at how often one person can be wrong about wrestling. https://twitter.com/ryansatin/status/1253357261193273345

Meltzer has now dunked on Satin to the point that Satin is reduced to this https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/1253358788490321920 This all started because Satin was concern trolling about last night’s jobber kicking out of Omega’s V-trigger — which isn’t even his finisher

Evil, depends on who you talk to, but Vince's dad was making handshake deals specifically not to compete with other promotions in their territories back in the day to keep competition alive, until VKM took over and WELP.

'you should have died in the womb!!' back to twin magic out of the blue, with zero comment; it's like they were just daring some nerd to care. Gaz-L posted:If the company is Good, then the good guy is the dilligent employee that loves their brand and is grateful for the opportunity to work for such a great business, not someone who says "gently caress da Man". yeah, which is ridiculous in the context of tyool 2020 in general and the wwe in specific, but nobody ever accused vince of being too in touch with reality.

It was also symptomatic of a wider issue in the WWE, in that HHH and Steph never really got their comeuppance, other than that one time when Dolph was the one to end them with an assist from Sting, only for it to be undone about a week or two later. If that was the plan, surely they could have held off on that until they were going into WrestleMania at least? It's like the Summer of Punk circa 2011 as well. They could have let it stew, but instead, they booked Cena to look like an utter dickhead at Mysterio's expense about a week after Punk left with the title, just so they could hotshot his return.
