Feels Villeneuve posted:It turns out that 50/50 booking is actually insanely good. There's a middle ground, don't be a dumbass. Also they're wasting their only effective booking on a part-timer who doesn't give a single gently caress.

STAC Goat posted:Its just seems from a "casual" perspective like World Champion Brock Lesnar is basically booked like World Champion Hollywood Hogan with Paul Heyman playing the role of Eric Bischoff. Imagine that except Bischoff and Hogan both only show up every few months for a month or so then gently caress off again.

RealFoxy posted:I don't mind because RAW is bad and having Lesner show up every week would be more bad. Let him be the end-boss that shows up to kick someone's rear end every now and then as long as eventually you have heel Miz with the IC gloating about he's the most important RAW champion because he's the one who shows up and then get his rear end kicked by Lesner. It's awful, it sucks, and it needs to stop. It''s been like this for over 3 years and it's all because of Roman. People need to realize this, accept it, and stop justifying it. It's the worst thing in WWE and has been for years and yes I'm including Roman.

IcePhoenix posted:I seem to recall at one point before the brand split they were doing two house show circuits (which is normal) and the one headlined by Reigns was practically getting lapped by the one headlined by Dean and it was hilarious. It only got worse when the split happened, I think. Wasn't there a RAW PPV that didn't even come close to selling out while the SmackDown PPV later that month had already done so? Something like that, yes. The Top Face Roman Experiment is toxic to business.

Yes, I poo poo all over Jinder and people who enjoy his title reign because I literally don't find it even ironically entertaining and it represents everything lovely about who gets pushed in WWE and why. The Jinder Experiment is the one thing I will never find good. Ever. Not even sorry.

Dean's title run was good and I literally don't see why people think it wasn't. It was short but it was good. Plenty of good matches, peak Dean promo work, and crowds were into it. Also the post-loss chase was also really loving good with the matches at No Mercy and TLC. Guess it's just a meme or something. I'm not saying it was an all-timer and AJ absolutely should've taken it off of him, but Dean'ss cash-in and promo the night after by themselves were better than the entirety of Jinder's run could hope to be, and that completely discounts the rest of it.Junpei Hyde posted:Is it not good to like things? I myswelf try not to poo poo over your enjoyment of a product. I've explained many times why I think Jinder's push is bad, not only because I think Jinder's bad but because of the message it sends. Furthermore, I'm genuinely curious what redeeming qualities anyone finds in it. I'm not trying to be a dick, help me here. SamuraiFoochs fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jul 1, 2017 |

Aphrodite posted:It's terrible that there are non-white wrestling fans. That's not the part I take issue with. Don't even try to tell me Jinder would've gotten this push if he still had the 3MB bod, demographics be damned. If they pushed an Indian wrestler (or Canadian-Indian or whatever else) who wasn't necessarily a top talent but was good, cool. But they pushed an absolute roid-monster who always sounds like he's losing his voice, has terrible inflection, terrible facial expressions, and is just as bland as Randy in-ring, probably one of the few people I'd consider more bland.

Feels Villeneuve posted:Hell Foochs sometimes people get pushed because of how they look. Wrestling is just like any other show business, it's always worked that way. I understand that. Doesn't mean I have to like it or that I'm wrong. Also looking at Jinder physically grosses me out. He's more gross than Steiner. Like when he first came back he was roided, but at least looked something approaching human. Even in the brief tag team with Rusev I don't remember thinking  , and that was when the "Hardbody Mahal" thing started. But now, Good God.

The main reason I said the Finn thing is stupid is I'd almost toxx on him being back in the main event scene within the next few months. Brock is really jamming that scene up and it won't be as much of an issue soon. Or they move Finn to SD and he's at the top of the card there. People are mistaking placeholder feuds for a depush.

Cavauro posted:i was asked to post this. Very early plans are for Nakamura to defeat Jinder without winning the title, and for the match to be placed near the opener. Nothing new for the secondary big belt, but I thought that was an interesting look into the true understanding of their audience; it may spoil the crowd for a majority of the show depending on how much they like Nak. Could even be related to a potential copout for why the audience doesn't go nuts for Roman winning the title in the main. Um...you are my friend but source?

Vince learned the opposite lesson he should have from WM32. Instead of spitebooking the entire card so the crowd has to give his chosen one a positive reaction which they don't, he'll spitebook a favorite to attempt to kill the crowd and use it as an excuse to defend Roman's negative reactions.

Gaz-L posted:Braun vs Brock IS a big match, though! And give Cena and Joe some promo time and that match could be huge too! It just reeks of either Cena being so close to out the door that they're panicking and rushing through all the 'dream' matches, or Vince not thinking there's any money in Nakamura/Cena or Joe/Cena. I'll give you that, I was more referring to the B-Show logic in general.
