We need to invent a new word, because I cannot describe some of the stuff that happened on this show. I can do it in a sentence, but I need one word. "Horrible" is not the word, "incompetent" comes close, but it doesn't have quite the meaning.
We should start with the debut of Charlotte Flair in Greenville, North Carolina. That was probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen on a wrestling show in my life.
This was like, let's sit down and go well beyond Vince Russo stupidity. We're going way past that level. We are going to actively be stupider than chimpanzees. Stupider than a dog with a lobotomy.
It's almost like these agents are completely clueless and are trying to lay out the worst match possible when they could just let Natalya go in there and go "Natalya, you go in there and lay the match out, and we'll give you 10 minutes." They would have torn the house down without a doubt, but no. They did nothing of the sort.
In NXT, her whole thing is that she's trying to be herself. She doesn't do chops or the figure four because she doesn't want to be Ric Flair. Then you get some agent who goes "let's see, what does Ric Flair do... well, he chops and does figure fours." I mean, I was waiting for her to flip into the turnbuckle, but she couldn't do that because if she did, it might actually get over because it's an athletic move.
If UFC could book winners, they'd do the opposite of everything. That's why [the WWE's] attendance is so bad right now, among other things. That's also why they have all these troubles getting guys to get to the brass bring, because anyone who grabs the brass ring, they have this guy with a hammer who's hammering people's fingers as they try to climb, as opposed to helping them up which should be their job. But that's another issue.
