It seems unfair to pick on such a legendarily bad account but this joke is just so poorly written and then the #kayfabe at the end is the chef's kiss. It stinks! https://twitter.com/WWECreative_ish/status/1443765942207590406

https://twitter.com/girloncinema/status/1441580327948804098?s=20 Hey remember when Vince started out with nothing and built up the WWE from scratch? Yeah, me neither. (To be fair, Vince did take a lot of huge risks early on, but pretending like he didn't have a lot of the groundwork handed to him already is really silly.)

can't remember but i don't think it's really sudden or even a recent thing. it's probably hosed up territorial issues stemming from a similar place as the other attractive personality quirks

That plus jumping on cable and doing the Rock 'N Wrestling Connection and Wrestlemania which was a super huge risk, but beyond that... I mean, Hogan came to him fully formed, he just had the sense to let Hogan do his thing whereas Verne didn't.

I'm not convinced Vince is a good booker. When he's had the most control like the early 90s new generation or the current era - WWE was not enjoyable for me. I really got into wwf when vince russo was handling a lot of the booking but enjoyed it even more when that Chris guy did the booking in like 2000 - 2001 which is probably my favorite era. I think he's the guy they made fun of and called a nerd for keeping a book with who was friends with who, who hated who and basically a guide to keep things making sense.

And without Hogan Vince couldn't have raided the territories which covered up his terrible booking.

Vince takes other people’s ideas and tweaks them. That’s been his whole thing since he started WWF. He’ll bring in a regional act give them a slightly different gimmick or he’ll take a booking idea and add or change something to it. Most of the time this approach failed miserably, esp when cable really started to eat into live events. But then sometimes it really really works well abd we’re stuck with poo poo like Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Wrestlemania.

Renaissance Spam posted:Yeah Hogan was definitely the talent factor, but Vince would never have been able to get Hogan without MSG and the prestige Vince Sr. built. Vince raided all the big talent in the 80s then WCW did it to him in the 90s. His philosophy of "the brand is the star" makes a lot of sense in his position because if no one is a star then no one can theoretically be raided because they're worthless and there's no super strong reason to raid other promotions for talent and give those workers leverage when you can just plug in nobodies into whatever slot you need filled. Of course this only works if you don't have the need to grow or competent and instead just stay in the content business with money coming from corporations and not an actual audience.

Yeah the "Brand is the Star" booking makes total sense when you realize he's trying to cut potential competitors off at the knees.

I think Vince was good at killing competition but isn't a terribly good businessman himself and the WWE could be a lot more successful in better hands.

It'd already help to just remove Vince from the equation, given his tendency to change stuff at the last second. They should let PSP book WWE for a month. A PSP wrestling fed seems like a sane and healthy idea.

Of course this only works if you don't have the need to grow or competent and instead just stay in the content business with money coming from corporations and not an actual audience. And this idea has been proven wrong severely. Just look at all the people who have left WWE in the last 5 years and look how much bigger they are in terms of star power. Jericho, Moxley, Pac, Andrade, Bryan Danielson and even people like Tay Conti. Each one have done more for the company they are in now than they did in the company they were in before. So making everyone a loser wont stop people from making money with your wrestlers. It'll just make you make less money with them and also probably drive them away.

I'd go so far as to say that far from being a stance that prevents competition and reduces talent raiding, "the brand is the star" has become a stance that can only succeed without competition. The moment actual competition shows up, it starts crumbling.

Combat sports is still a star driven sport despite what Vince and Dana want people to believe and even they don't really believe it given how the end up crawling back to Brock/Connor

That was Chris Kreski, and he's the unsung hero of that era of the WWE. He was behind basically all of their best stories at the time and the WWE is never going to acknowledge him.Seams posted:still no idea why Trev hates bix all of a sudden. Because he desperately seeks to be the center of attention to foster his low sense of self-worth. He was feuding with AJ Gray a couple of days ago and it was honestly kind of sad.
