well to the last few coments totaly disagree kabeface has been dead in the sence of injuries and wrestling be scripted but in the sence that hes revealing specific backstage happenings of the past and other secrets of the industry is wrong.
What dignity kayfabe had at one point is now lost. If you actually pull your head out of your self-righteous ass and look back at WWE in 2000 or ealier, or if you can remember anything from around then, you'll notice that the WWE were alot more hush-hush over possible story lines and were still adamantly trying to make it seem as believable as possible.
It helped the product sell, without question, fans alike would tune for each Raw and Smackdown unaware of what may as opposed to what will happen, all the fans could do was to guess it'll carry on any major story lines or start new ones, and thats exactly what happened. That was the mystique of the WWE, thats what made The Undertakers JD 2000 return so effective, very few knew it was going to happen and to this day I am yet to see a return which rivals it, let alone a PPV.
Still, unfortunately times change, the internet has grown so much since 2000 and before, and the wrestling business has always been updating itself along with it. In America it's been turning into evangelical PG family viewing product for the last 4 or more years, as such the older fans have gotten wiser and smarter and we are now at a stage where, depressingly, we can almost guess every PPV outcome and see where certain feuds are heading. I'll admit even I miss that aspect of kayfabe, but so much has happened that some would deem it almost unfair for not letting the fans know of a certain wrestlers condition or whereabouts.
If anything no doubt the fans of my generation would admit that they wanted to know what was going on backstage in those days, and luckily the kids of todays PG-13 WWE are presented with that opportunity, they don't have to view it but they know they can so they will and proceed to do so.
You seem to forget the industry is a beast which is constantly growing and shakes off most past discrepancies (Obviously ones such as the Benoit family tragedy will leave ever lasting marks) and carries on. Paul Heyman blogging about what really happened behind the scenes with Vince and the last remaining ECW originals is more than acceptable. It was a good few years ago now and also reveals how the new ECW product has taken a major U turn from a possible Smackdown beater (At the time of course) to a barely average B show, which is struggling with ratings most of the time.
And it also cements most fans view on how Vince really saw ECW and it's talent. If Paul Heyman thinks it's our right to know then so be it, I for one have no problem with it. Privilege is probably the best word to sum the last bit up. If you choose to take it up then fine, but if you wish to attack that privilege because you think you know whats right for a billion dollar franchise then why are you wasting your time here?
Enough secretes have been already revealed it only ruins the industry.
I'd go as far to say that not enough secrets have been revealed, there are still some fans would really like to know, for example, Kennedy and Umaga's recent releases. We know they were released and there are possible reasons to why but theres still no defining word on either releases.
And please learn to spell correctly, it really is one of your other major failings.
As with the respect for wrestling alumnis I have allot and give respect when the deserve it.
Respect?
If you truly respect Paul Heyman or JR you wouldn't of started this now hostile thread.
I think once a wrestler/manager leaves the industry, they have no place to try to hog the limelite looking for additional 15 mins of fame, its quite sad.
Who the hell are you to say what wrestlers/managers should do or not do when they choose to move on from wrestling or move to a different company.
As already kindly pointed out they are merely blogging their PERSONAL thoughts, blogging is not a way of garnering for 15 minutes of fame, American Idol is the place to hog any limelight that person can get.
Paul Heyman is well aware his limelight time is over and happily moves on, just along the way he thinks it's fair that the fans who have been following for years deserve to know what really happened.
If being a decent person is a sin then I'm surely as bad as him.
I see heyman and jr as too seperate evils one overdoes it the other posts biased posts that I'm sick of. I don't even read these guys stuff anymore I just read the headlines.
To be honest Heymans blog seemed quite tame for him, and JR is part of the product, of course most of what he says is going to be biased.
If you honestly read the headlines with an open mind you wouldn't have resorted to starting such a petty thread.
If its intresting I will check out the synopsis in the news section which usually is a mistake.
Stay away from the headlines then, they only seem to tease you into a frenzy. If you really want to get all wound up over something, just look at how pious/obnoxious/self-righteous anything on Fox news is.
This is not a person thread against any current or former wwe employee (even though ihave personal problems with one of these men) it's an opinion saying that all these industry men should stop blogging because its just too much they stragically put themselves in the headlines almost all the time and it seems a little to rediclious that they do this because they are ledgends in there own right.
Spell check is either your worst friend or he's just slapped you across the face with the idiot stick.
I'd honestly love to know who it is you have a personal beef with, it'll only be as ridiculous as this thread. Unfortunatley you have a very bad way of voicing an opinion and it hasn't done you any favors at all.
There is no strategy involved in blogging, blogging is purely blogging, if WZ picks up on it then it is obviously because they think some (Not everyone) will be interested to read it. If such is the case, you should really be winging at the mods for doing such a "Bad"job.
They don't need to do this at all.
True, but as mentioned they feel the fans are entitled to know.
Just all opinions based on my sickness of seeing these guys grasp on straws and put themselves in the spotlight way too much. I do love these guys and would be intrested if they do a blog/interview at the mst once a week but just personally these guys over do it.
Honestly, if your opinions are anything like these I please ask for future warning so I can get a more comfortable chair.
I'm not a vince mark in the sence of creative as of late. But I am a huge fan of his buisness decisions and I respect him in that way. Oh and by the way it was heymans comments about dreamer and jr's recent idiotic comments that set me off they piss me off allot.
Idiotic posts piss me off...and I'm not alone on that, trust me.
