Confession Time

[ABMorales787]

Selling... who the fuck says that even needs to exist?

If the wrestler doesn't sell, the fan doesn't buy. Wrestling 101, child.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Nice to know through your experiences in life you have learned to accept and tolerate those that are different than you and learn from them... not... just more proof that old people are indeed thick headed and stuck in your ways.

Ladies and Gentleman, I am Jus Dynamite, I am the Initiator of Intelligence and I just blew this fucking place up!

There has indeed just been an explosion. At the irony factory.

 

[Starkist]

This thread took a turn for the worse.

He's just trying to live his life by Kurt Angle's example. Remember your three I's.

..I mean, he's not doing it well, but effort has to count for something.

 

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan, M.D.]

I don't think New Jack deserves 99% of the shit he gets

WWE definitely oversells low spots, what are you absterbators watching? The pace of a WWE match is basically one giant middle finger to kayfabe.

All wrestlers need to look strong, at all times. Not sure why they think that's necessary, but they do.

 

[Барбоса]

All wrestlers need to look strong, at all times. Not sure why they think that's necessary, but they do.

But given that the main shows rarely use true jobbers, it means that in an attempt to make everyone look strong, virtually no one does as they all go through a cycle of beating one another meaning that no one is ahead.

Perhaps the one thing that needs to be reincorporated from the booking of NXT is the use of true no name jobbers to help get talent over without it being at the expense of other useful talent.

I assume all the laying around is mostly to find a lazy way to appease KB's stopwatch fetish.

Rock's success as a popcorn movie actor greatly overshadows and clouds his merits as a wrestler (in fact, PWI ranked him #76 of the top 500 singles wrestlers of the "PWI Years" in 2003). Austin is a rung or two above him and Rock never really carried the ball as the man. He's not in the uppermost echelon of wrestlers in my opinion.

Spinning that further, I think the Attitude Era is massively overrated. From a quality standpoint, 96 to 98 trumps 99 to 01 by a wide margin. Up until Vince was revealed as the higher power it was awesome, but "stupid" was the predominant theme afterwards.

I think John Cena IS the greatest wrestler. In the same way that Justin Bieber is the greatest musician right now. Plays the fiddle of his target demographic to perfection and is a great mascot for a comic product. That's about it.

I have no negative feelings towards Benoit.

I think Bret was very good on the mic. Very believable and felt much more real than the forced charades a lot of the "great talkers" are pulling.

I'm certain that if I could choose three guys from this forum to be the WWE creative team along with me we could greatly increase quality. In fact, I think almost every regular here is more competent to book a wrestling show than the imbeciles currrently employed by WWE.

I get what you are saying, but doesn't it help if you care, more or less, about most members of the card?

 

[Барбоса]

Not if they are just going to beat each other over and over ad infinitum.

"Everybody wins" actually means "Everybody loses" and together with the ridiculous repetition of nothing matches, almost no one gets people to care about them.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Ye, ye I get that. But where do we go from here? Everybody needs to have a solid storyline in that case. Look at 3MB, they get beat one night and we have people screaming how Drew is being wasted.

There has to be a flow of 'whys' but going by how WWE books, they seem incapable of following up storylines.


The anonymous GM, who was rumoured to be Austin, Rock, HBK, Bret turned out to be...



Seriously who is working there!

 

[Барбоса]

3MB are actually far closer to a solution than part of the problem. Heel jobbers that lose in a reasonably entertaining way. Use them to build faces

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Since this is a confession thread I have to say, I still have hope for Drew. I still like his look and size and think if his weakness are worked on or hidden, he can be good.


You see all these bits of news come out of the pipelines, how WWE wants to make new stars and doesn't bring them up to the roster unless they have something solid for them.

The Shield is an example of that. Now the only way I see a solution to the conundrum you present, is if they bring indie wrestlers who haven't made name for themselves, to compete on one night events. Have a revolving rosters of just indie nobodies.

Really is the problem deeper than that? Have we and Cena's aura completely blurred the lines of heel and face, jobber and stellar? You put a jobber against Cena like The Brooklyn Brawler and HE'LL get cheers now!

 

[Miko]

The Brooklyn Brawler would always get cheers

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

I was never a fan of Hulk Hogan but I realize what he did for the business...

I can't seem to become a fan of Wade Barrett and I've tried hard to...

Randy Orton is one of the most entertaining guys the WWE has...

I still wear The Rock's t-shirts, sue me...

I was a big fan of Tajiri vs Mysterio on SmacDown in 02-04...

TLC may not be the best non big 4 PPV's, but it's held some of the better matches in a B-Show PPV...

I find the Royal Rumble more entertaining than WrestleMania...

I'm still against the Elimination Chamber being held in February...

I enjoyed King of The Ring much more than Money in the bank...

Kofi Kingston is my current favorite mid carder. Dude has solid skills

Triple H doesn't need to be the focal point in a storyline

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

The Brooklyn Brawler would always get cheers

Perhaps not the greatest example on my part.

This worked in the past. In fact, it worked very recently with the initial build of Ryback. Local talent getting mown down one or two at a time by a monster face.

It is not a difficult problem to fix. Essentially have a travelling Job Squad - 3MB, Ryder, Bourne etc. - and utilise tag team wrestlers in singles matches, which gives others exposure while building the bigger star in the match - Sheamus vs Titus O'Neil, Langston vs Brodus, Kofi vs Primo.

Just, for the love of God, stop having the matches between the same three guys twice a week, week in, week out.

For example, instead of having Wade Barrett go up against Miz, who he is 'feuding' with, have him face Zack Ryder in a 8-10 minute match, win cleanly with the Bullhammer, all the while incorporating some storyline development with Miz/Fandango doing commentary, interfering at the end etc.

It is not rocket science, regardless of how difficult WWE seem to want to make it seem.

Personally, Ryback has had me excited twice: When he was Double Shellshocking noobs on SD with the people popping hot for him, and when he saved Foley against Punk.

The revolving Job Squad works. The problem now is as soon as Ryder jobs these days, people just bitch and moan about his push. His hair looks stupid, his long pants suck and now he has nothing going for him. But still, people do like him. Look if one of the new jobbers starts to get cheers, try and elevate him all the while bringing in another one to take his place during. Sheamus Vs Titus was an extremely entertaining match and it was fresh to see Titus throw Sheamus around.

Also, if they do ADR vs Big E one more time I'm gonna commit a hate crime. Its a big ass roster and ADR can have a good match with the lot of them. I don't know why WWE pushes to test our patience.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Honestly.. words can not describe how ******ed I feel you guys come across as.

Always so hard headed to facts, it's like you live life with your eyes closed but ears open.

You heard Cena was the best.. so you guys just fight for that until the day you die. I sure ain't going to kill you over it, so I'm just going to walk away.

Nice to know through your experiences in life you have learned to accept and tolerate those that are different than you and learn from them... not... just more proof that old people are indeed thick headed and stuck in your ways.

No fucking wonder there is never any new members on these forums, just the same old hags bitching whenever you try to state an opinion that doesn't register with their little peanut sized brains. And we all know their balls are peanut sized too because their too pussy to admit when their wrong.

Ladies and Gentleman, I am Jus Dynamite, I am the Initiator of Intelligence and I just blew this fucking place up!

So Labar finally showed up after all!

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I think the Wyatt Family, whilst talented, are overhyped and overrated.

I also thought Bobby Lashley was pretty good in the ring.

 

[TJ Matics]

I look forward to the divas every week.

I genuinely enjoy and like Sheamus, heel or face.

I secretly pray for the day Melina returns.

I used to be the biggest Cena mark, and if anyone said anything bad about him I would go to bat for him like it was my f'n job !

I've always thought Trish > Lita, and I don't understand people who disagree. Lita was innovative, and that's about it. Trish excelled at evey aspect of being a DIVA: Heel, face, in ring, out of ring, mic work...I could go on all night.

I was never a fan of Mickie James post psycho-Mickie.

I used to hate Michelle McCool because I was sure she home-wrecked Taker and Sara. I really liked Sara, and I still do.

I feel like a traitor when I don't watch RAW live, ratings do matter... so I put it on in another room.

I enjoyed the The American Badass Taker more than the Dead Man.

I was never a huge fan of Edge. I never thought he was overrated or anything, he just never did it for me. It was sad that he had to retire early, but I haven't missed him.

The hell?

 

[Uncle Sam]

The current WWE product is highly enjoyable to me, largely because I can fast forward through anything which doesn't feature Ryback (yes, Ryback), The Shield, Randy Orton or Daniel Bryan.

The Miz winds me up more now than he ever did as a heel, by far, though I suppose that's hardly unique.
