Goldust was probably the last instance of that kind of gimmick actually working fairly well, right?

Anyone trying that gimmick in 2017 though - lol.

Well there was Billy and Chuck, where WWE booked themselves into a corner by saying they were going to get married and having GLAAD come out and be all in favor of it publicly, only to have the two say it was a publicity stunt.

Bischoff being the pastor was a neat swerve but it was a case of WWE not knowing where they were going with an angle and running to the edge of a cliff.

considering that every company not named WWE tapes in advance, this really isn't that big a deal and is kind of the actual smart way to do poo poo if you don't have to broadcast it live.

And even WWF used to tape a month's worth of TV in an evening, back when Raw was just an hour. It wasn't until Nitro started up that wrestling went live every Monday.

Heard they were looking to cut pay 30% on top of the per taping thing.

So let's say you work for $100 per episode. So if you worked two episodes in a day under the Dixie regime you'd get $200 for that day.

Now you'd just $70 for that day. And realistically you are working the second episode free. AND the odd Xplosion match.

Just wow.
