im guessing you've seen meltzers WM ratings

Do you agree with them?

 

[Danger Burger]

How inspiring was the Ultimate Warrior?

A lot of peculiar wrestlers cite him as the number one influence in career path. Like Jeff Hardy and Hornswoggle.

Who are the next three superstars from NXT to move to the main roster, and who would you have them feud against?

 

[JGlass]

RVD had a gimmick where he had been appearing on Raw and was "Mr. Monday Night" which is probably the gimmick you're thinking of.

But do you know of the match I'm talking about?

 

[Charlesworth]

Was the Montreal Screwjob a work?

 

[PsychoBlack]

Is it a coincidence that ROH began to suck when Danielson and Mcguiness left?

Would a gimmick like RVD when he was a stoned athlete in ECW work today or is the world just to sensitive now?

Funniest wrestler of all time?

Heenan.

I haven't seen them.

Quite. He was insanely over back in 89/90.

Kruger, Wyatt, Paige.

Not sure on the feuds.

But do you know of the match I'm talking about?

It rings a bell. I'd need to look it up.

No.

Somewhat but not entirely.

Too sensitive/it takes talent to do the gimmick.

I don't think talent had much to do with it. He was actually high.

The crowd reaction at Monday’s Raw in New Jersey was more entertaining than the show. It made me wonder where fake wrestling is heading.

It was one show, one crowd, one reaction: The smallest of samplings.

But Ryback got a face pop…for turning heel. Ziggler got a face pop…for winning the world title in heel fashion. Sheamus and Randy Orton got dissed…and they’re supposed to be babyfaces. A mid-carder’s theme song – his friggin’ THEME SONG! – trumped all.

No one would be more amused/pleased by all this than the IWC, because it validates their twisted preferences.

But is fake wrestling really changing? Is the concept of heels and faces dead, or at least outdated? Should wrestlers be matched against each other regardless of heel/face, and let the audience decide?

Vince Russo thought so, and he profoundly damaged the business.

Fake wrestling is mindless escapism. The vast majority of fans don’t want to think. The few who do usually don’t know how. When Russo tried to divine the will of the people during his time in WCW, he wound up scattering them in million different directions.

A Mensa meeting didn’t take place at the Izod Center this past Monday. It wasn’t a revolutionary moment in fake wrestling history, though it may have the Fandango-ing craze as its legacy. What happened was merely a bunch of crap-disturbers doing just that. A perfect storm.

You’ll know tomorrow when Raw convenes in Greenville, S.C., a place not known for smart anything, let alone smart wrestling fans.

Beyond Fandango-ing, this week's Raw will be the return of the lemmings: Cheering what they’re supposed to, booing what they’re supposed to.

If that doesn’t happen, there’s a problem.

If the Izod Center scenario repeats itself again and again, WWE must nonetheless stay the course with what is thought to be best for business in the long run. WWE cannot listen to the fans. Because…

*What if Cena turns heel…and the fans start cheering him?

*What if Ziggler turns face…and the fans start booing him?

*What if Fandango gets a bigger push…and the Peter Principle kicks in?

The fans can’t control the product. The product has to control the fans. Give the marks an inch, they will try to take a mile. They are not the professionals. Those who run WWE are the professionals. Well, mostly.

Wrestling is not something that should be complicated. For over 100 years, it’s relied on the heel/face dynamic. That must continue.

Many cheered the nWo, but the nWo never turned face. Instead, it split into factions. Ambiguity clouded who was good and bad…and the most successful angle in wrestling history collapsed utterly and disastrously.

This isn’t rocket science. The best thing WWE can do in the wake of last Monday is keep doing whatever it had planned to do. STAY THE COURSE. Be amused by crowd aberrations. But don’t act on them.

Amen to whomever wrote that. Pro wrestling was doing just fine without Vince Russo's shade of gray and at the end of the day, fans are going to tune in to see heroes fighting villains because people like that kind of stuff. Look at Mark Henry in his world title run. There was NOTHING complicated about him and it was one of the most over (which does not mean popular. You can be over as a heel) characters in years. It was simple, it was evil, and it worked.

Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn I guess.

It's now acknowledged within WWE that the post-WrestleMania RAW is now one of the biggest events of the year now. For WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans, there is talk that they might hold both WrestleMania and RAW in the SuperDome to try and build up that RAW as a can't-miss supershow.
