Pillowpants posted:Can someone explain to me why Reigns is being pushed as hard as he is? I watched the WWE best of reigns matches last night and I don’t really get it. Reigns was literally earmarked for this from the moment he showed up to FCW 13 years ago. It never really mattered how he performed in the ring and on the mic because this was always the plan and always how things were going to go.

Can't believe you think they would just rename Butch in phase 1 of the renaming arc, lmao. They are only just now starting to lay the groundwork of the Pete Dunne lore. I mean are you even looking for the easter eggs??

BrigadierSensible posted:And as a thought experiment, I sometimes like to think what Southpaw would have been like with Vince's involvement. It would just be people saying things like "durrr I'm a dumb southerner and I love RASSLIN!" and "hi I'm Musty Chodes and I'll never beat that smart handsome booker up north."

Having a long reign should be meaningful because it should be a sign that the performer has been doing such an amazing job of getting over with the fans that nobody else on the roster could take their place. But in WWE reigns are just about the whims of one person.

flashy_mcflash posted:It was funny because they also did that separately with both Emma and Eva Marie. Probably others I'm forgetting too. The Eva Marie gimmick was so great. "From Concord California, the most beautiful, ravishing, radiant woman in all of WWE, Miss All Red Everything herself, Eva Marie! .....could not make it to the arena tonight because of travel issues. We apologize for the inconvenience." I can't even remember why that gimmick never paid off. Didn't she quit in the middle of it or something?

Mr Hootington posted:I've never really watched modern wrestling, but I watched the first match of summerslam between Jake Paul the Maverick and Ricochet. Is all of modern wrestling like this? There wasn't a lot of submission holding, chops, or stomps. It would be hiptoss then mug at the camera for 10 seconds. Not even a lot of crowd work. It varies greatly by promotion and wrestler, but what you described is very much the WWE house style. They force most of their wrestlers to work that way.

1glitch0 posted:I'm sure they watched her matches. I'm sure she said that she's capable of a lot more but that was all they were letting her do. And I'm sure WWE in their absolute arrogance thought they would easily unleash her potential and then once she started doing basic drills they were like oh poo poo. Oh man the Vince:Tom Magee::HHH:Jade comparison is really perfect.

Shard posted:That is actually a big crowd. If all those people decide to buy tickets and they aren't interested in the wrestling what are they coming for? Like legit? I think they just want to see famous people. It's like how Netflix doesn't have to put any effort into their original movies anymore, they just stuff them with enough famous people that hit enough different demographics and it will do huge numbers.

LA Knight understands the principles of getting over through promos which are that you should have a catchphrase that the fans can chant along to and you should say your name as often as possible.
