Every time I'm dumb enough to click through to that account, I know it's my own fault, and read the other takes I'm beginning to doubt this is real and might just be a satire account. But I know that's just wishful thinking.

It’s dumb too when you find they’ve been booking that match/venue with a wink and a nod that a Danielson was gonna be the main event. Just like they booked the Chicago show with a wink and a nod that Punk will be there. Goddamn that AEW for following through on things I like. Just dastardly behavior.

it's a word for any short-term promotional tactic where you just throw together a big match or have an upset finish or do something big to get people talking or sell out a big venue it is not inherently bad or negative but WWE primarily does it poorly by doing things that make no sense, have no followup and most of the time pretending they never happened and it's at the expense of their titles meaning anything. years of WWE being the only game in town has morphed it into a primarily negative term and now that there's a company that mostly does it well you get the zealots doing the "there's no difference between good and bad things" routine with a term they've heard before

"Hotshotting" here refers to rushing through an angle in order to drive up audience interest in the short term. Which makes that statement from that twitter guy real dumb, because no matter the result it's p clear that next week isn't the climax of the Omega/Danielson feud.

CommonShore posted:wtf is "hotshotting" in this context? I only know the term as being a type of emergency courier. It's a desperation booking move, usually in the context of giving away a big match or big debut without any buildup in an attempt to stir up a short term ratings or interest boost. A good example would be WWE throwing out the card for Raw and going with a Lashley/Orton title match because WWE beat them in the key demo last week. An even better example would be that time WWE tried to book Lesnar to beat Austin in the opening round of the 2002 King of the Ring tournament.

They mean it like “doing something reactively without much thought” which isn’t really what hotshotting means in wrestling context. And also untrue. Hotshotting typically refers to bouncing the title around to create an air of excitement.

Hot shot booking is when you move titles around between people with no plan other than the idea of deciding to have a moment, WCW was infamous in it during its waning years where belts would change hands almost bi-weekly. The reason its coming up is because WWE hotshotted the WWE belt to Big E when for the last few months he had been building a feud with Roman Reigns for the Universal title. It doesn't lead anywhere, it was just announced on the day of it happening with no build, and it was just to make a moment. Importantly leading to this they moved the PPV main event to this Raw thus killing that build too by giving away a PPV main event for free they've been building to. Now they're trying to claim hotshotting to do with anything being scheduled. In this case giving away Bryan-Omega on free TV when it is a PPV main event and that's a hotshot because...

Its important to keep in mind, these people are using a 1998 definition of hotshotting in 2021. The primary revenue stream is TV and you have to do stuff on TV. The problem is that WWE cant build for poo poo and just does stuff on a week's notice. They basically killed Keith Lee, Adam Cole and NXT all at the same time this way. And are probably about to do the same to Big E and Bob Lash.

IIRC it was going to be Lesnar getting his win back, but of course, Lesnar left the day after Mania 20, and they'd always planned on the Triple H/Michaels/Benoit rematch in Alberta, so JBL was the next best thing for whatever reason

There's a mote of something to that in that the weight of expectations can be a problem but... WWE will just say he's a Steiner in 3 weeks time.

You'd have to be dumb as hell not to see that Anna Jay wrestles way beyond her years. She gets ring presence in a way that even a lot of veterans absolutely do not.

The fact that the reaction to Anna's very first tv match was enough to get her a contract by the end of the week speaks volumes about her skill.
