Alain Post posted:Jon Stewart gave John Cena a chairshot that cost him the WWE title. Babyfaces (especially company mascot John Cena) are supposed to be the better man. At the very least, "if someone you barely know takes something from you, beat the hell out of them" isn't a very good message for kids.

You can be badass and cool and show how serious you are about winning the title in ways that aren't using your finisher against a defenseless 50 year old man who's several feet shorter than you.

You're right, Stewart should've cupped his hands and yelled at John from gorilla.

I think it was really cute to have Jon Steward be the voice of the smarks actually.

The dynamic of a manager versus a celebrity guest host is so different there's no real comparison.

Wrestlers are not actors and it's been proven and time tested over and over again throughout the years that they work best when they're not scripted, this isn't some sort of doublethink conspiracy.

triplexpac posted:I think it's more complex than that. Has there ever been a wrestler with top-notch promo delivery that had it scripted out though? Most of the examples of great wrestlers (and hell, great promos in general) people give out are ones that were either completely ad-libbed or just used bullet points.

It's pretty easy if you're forced to do it consistently year after year. e: and also if you're PG-WWE.

Keg posted:If WWE wasn't PG right now it would be the exact same product but with swear words. That's why I said WWE-PG, not just PG. The issue isn't the rating but the specific content they're going for. If they don't want blood and nasty-looking chairshots and barbed wire everywhere that's fine, that's acceptable, but they shouldn't also run PPVs like "tables ladders and chairs" and "extreme rules" every year if the only difference between them and something like battleground is really dumb stips. It's 2015 and they're still trying to market to a hardcore fanbase that the product just doesn't appeal to and they really need to stop.

Hace posted:The other problem is oh poo poo we have 12 events a year and we need to have the cheapest gimmicks possible fuuuuuuck At least it gives us the textual irony of running an event called "Tables, Ladders and Chairs" while their roster is low on top-tier talent due to injury, even though in reality TLC isn't that much more dangerous than any other PPV.

I really wish discussion wouldn't split between the GDT and the previous RAW thread every PPV, it makes the discussion incredibly hard to follow.

Luke Harper is like twice the wrestler Bray is, Charlotte was a good heel in NXT, Owens cuts really good promos and wrestles like a man his weight shouldn't, Ascension were monsters with the NXT tag titles until the debuted on the main roster and made into horrible Road Warrior knockoffs and Sheamus looks stupid (clap clap clapclapclap).
