Dango Bango posted:Curious to see if WWE vacates the title or does their own interim champ. Their usual booking is to have the guy lose the title and then blame someone for the injury. So if I had to guess I'd say that they have him cut a promo or get attacked backstage, then Priest cashes in and he holds it until Elimination Chamber where they will put it on Punk or Drew.

dromal phrenia posted:i cared about fandango, he seemed fun. the guy i mean. the gimmick was not gonna make it to the main event What killed Fandango wasn't that he was just catchphrase over or whatever, it was the lovely half-assed way WWE chose to get behind him by having Cole shout "LOOK JBL, WE ARE FANDANGOING!" for a few weeks. IIrc they still booked him like a joke, but for a hot minute they pretended to know what it was that people liked, and it turned people off the whole thing extremely fast. I haven't watched even a second of anything involving LA Knight except that time someone in that Mountain Dew match missed a jump by a mile, but I still consider it a small miracle that WWE hasn't yet managed to kill his overness simply by getting behind him.

Him talking to Brock/Heyman before the Royal Rumble was a classic too, plus he kinda 'made' the 24/7 title even if it was a joke belt  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf8Yt3lu1E0

I've been sticking with the Bret Hart book, and I'm glad I did. It's improved a lot since it moved on to his WWF stuff, and it would be interesting to find out the actual honest to god truth behind some of these stories. Like when Bret dropped the title to Yokozuna at WM9 so Hogan could come back to win it immediately from Yoko, he thanked Bret after the match and told him "I'll return the favour, brother". And then when it came time for him to drop the title to Bret, he flat out refused because he didn't see Bret being on his level. In the book this is presented as it actually being Vince's idea; Vince didn't want Hogan to drop the belt to Bret even though he himself initially pitched the idea, and then blamed Hogan for it, lying to Bret about Hogan's attitude. When Bret confronted Hogan about it, he was genuinely hurt that Bret believed it, and swore up and down that it wasn't his idea, going as far as physically pulling Bret into Vince's office to confront him, at which point Vince flat out lied he had never even said the match was going to be a title match, despite doing precisely that numerous times. The thing is, I could totally see that being true. Vince has always been a backstabbing shithead who loves nothing more than blaming others for his bad decisions, and he probably wouldn't have though Bret would confront Hogan about the issue and have his lie exposed. But then again Hogan has never been the world's most reliable guy either, and if it hadn't been for the physical confrontation of Vince, I would totally have believed the official story of Hogan refusing to do a job and then lying to Bret about it. Also kinda funny that if the book is to be believed, Shawn, Razor and co originally pitched the idea of the Kliq to Bret and wanted him to lead it. But is the book to be believed? At this point it's becoming a meme of Bret doing something, and then $LEGENDARY_WRESTLING_FIGURE coming up to him with tears in his eyes to shake his hand and tell him that nobody had ever done the thing half as good as he just had.

I've always had the impression that Vince was being the metaphorical heat sink between Bret and Hogan when Hogan didn't want to do the job and Vince was more than happy to play the role. Seemed like Bret saw Vince as some kind of extra father figure to him and Vince was happy to use it to sucker Bret. Then again maybe Hogan and Vince just had a good laugh screwing Bret together because they're dickheads. ...or maybe not brother.

Definitely, that comes through in the book constantly, and it's sad as gently caress considering everything that's happened since then. And even in the book, when it was time to renegotiate his contract in 1994 or whatever, when they had a deal Bret went "yeah since we're so close and we trust each other and we're both reliable people there's no need to draw up an official contract on this, we can just shake on it like trustful men". And then a bit later Vince sent him a contract to sign and when his lawyer reviewed it, it was not at all what they had agreed and was much worse than his ongoing contract to the point where "[Bret's] lawyer said he'd be crazy to sign it".
