The problem with the "call it in the ring" WWE does, is the person usually calling it is in the back, relaying it to the ref via earpiece, who then tells the wrestlers what to do.

Memnaelar posted:Pretty classy how they did Chelsea Green. I mean, even moreso than the rest. I've mentioned this before, but they fired Test while he was out with a broken neck. When he asked what he was supposed to do for an income, WWE (and I believe it might have even been Johnny Ace) told him "Should've saved your money." They did hire him back once he was healed.

Chris James 2 posted:2) Firing a bunch of people during a plague for the second time in 366 days (and the same day as a year ago) isn't funny, two actors who pride themselves on appearing big and tough being too big of actual drama queens to film their part of a scene being in the same room as each other is hilarious. I know which I'd rather talk about when I need to laugh It is very wrestling-like. You've got the guy the whole thing is built around (Vin), then a new guy comes in and threatens his spot (Rock), so there's bad blood between them. One of the movies should end with Vin about to kill the bad guy, only for the director to interrupt on screen, and put the Rock in Vin's place instead, giving him the heroic ending

There's also the fact that Taker was a 6 foot 9 impressive specimen, and Aleister Black is just ... some guy. Same problem with Bray Wyatt. Chubby dude in a Hawaiian shirt is not awe inspiring

Saul Goode posted:Is the implication that they set the business back 30 years because of the obviously gimmicked fall and up until now wrestling fans still believed that Shane McMahon was legitimately diving off various tall structures? Because I can totally believe WWE higher ups thinking nobody had figured out crash mats until now. No, they implication is the level of violence the blood, the chair shots, is what set wrestling bad. It's the same argument that was used when ECW became popular (which they would then copy)
