I could hate any gimmick if they give it a lovely name and have Michael Cole overexplain it constantly and they book them to cheese their way to a title and then lose every match pathetically

xbilkis posted:This vignette ruled. It was this guy talking about the psychological advantage of being a professional poker player and how he brought those skills to the wrestling ring, but all the B-roll footage was just him in a lovely vest and one other faceless person at a big table in this void of a room where the guy had to deal the cards himself I'm not even against it as a booking philosophy, if it's going to be WWE's new identity, I'd just prefer if it was consistent. But it feels like this style has failed before.

They don't make any extra money off of selling more PPVs any more, so how can they milk them for profit? Make the entire event a loving ad for Netflix and Pizza Hut and merch

Karma Tornado posted:the best thing about Bad Bunny doing these spots is guys desperately trying to square the circle of him being popular while making their millionth "Vince just heard uh the fuckin Beach Boys for the first time yesterday" posts I assume Bad Bunny is a WWE fan and he approached them about him doing something, then they Googled his social media numbers and decided to go with it.

I fired up watchwrestling to have a curious peek at the Chamber show, and the first thing I see is the lovely CG Roman and I laugh so loving hard as he screams to the heavens and lovely anime speed lines appear behind him Man, when you're not acclimated to the WWE any more... it's loving weird

Shaman Tank Spec posted:That feels unbelievable, in a way. I remember watching WCW at that time, and thinking Hogan & co were washed up and over the hill. But Vince has normalized main eventing old geezers to a point where it's just normal now. They're all in their 40s. Bischoff was right about that. Vince was cutting them off way too young. Hogan was a key part of WCW doing so well years after Vince thought he was too old. Daniels is doing excellent work in his 50's. It's way more common in other countries, it was always this ageist thing Vince had that didn't really make business sense. The WWE's problem is they have no choice but to push older guys.

Tato posted:It's been a long and winding road, man. Did any of us suspect in 2005 that Kerwin White's affable caddy would still be on WWE programming today? As I've grown and matured throughout the years, I've had a lot of feelings regarding Mr. Ziggler. I've gone from excitement to frustration to boredom and apathy and back around again, over and over as the cycle repeats. When I was a younger, angrier man, I would be upset by the annual Dolph Ziggler return/title picture push. But now I'm reassured by it. Like the chirping of the birds in spring or that first drop of snow in the winter, Ziggler's annual return is a welcome sight in a crazy world. I still see Dolph Ziggler as emblematic of everything I hate about WWE booking. I don't hate him as a performer or, obviously, a person, but he's got massive go away heat with me as the universal example of the WWE should've been. Dolph Ziggler is an ugly, hateful lie told again and again in the arrogant expectation nobody will ever catch on.

I watched a little Smackdown just to see the Stephanie thing, and then the Street Profits were there, and I was like "Oh, I like them", and then Austin Theory came out, and I was reminded that he's just called 'Theory' now, and I shut it off.
