Barbosa comments on WZCW
Kravinosa Barbinoff and BarboSHIT are two of the most overlooked tag teams in WZCW. In my mind, only Saxoteur come close to the level of consistent entertainment those two teams provided.
Ty Burna's year long run is well-remembered and revered but for my money it is still underrated. To reign for that much time as a face is almost miraculous.
I have long thought that Creative, and this is by no means confined to Harthan's current group, get too hung up on reflecting the decisiveness of the result of an RP vote, often sacrificing storyline development and the depiction of those involved in the match.
While it ended up being something of a benefit to the fed and the voicing of problems, I think the handling of Coco's 'shoot' was poor. He should never have been shown the door.
The pressure on Creative, passive or overt in the Discussion Thread, to get the shows out on time is completely counter-productive and needs to stop. It forces Creative to rush to get a show out when it should not. Far better to have a complete, stellar show go up late than a lacklustre and rushed one on time.
Everyone should not give so much of a crap about winning. The fun is about telling a story.
I hate what has happened to the Elite X 'division'. It has been made worse than the Mayhem belt ever was.
Personally, I have found the booking of Ricky Runn to be a massive missed opportunity. The skits, backstage promos and entrance are damn good. But then the bell rings and all of a sudden, almost Festus-like, we get a far more decisive and even dominating Ricky Runn. He gets too much offense in. The Rick-Roll-Up should be far more prominent.
Indeed, Ricky Runn should have been booked as the weakest, most chickenshit wrestler in WZCW history.
He should be a mix between the Honky-Tonk Man and Joseph Rios; protected to the hilt despite taking repeated beatings that would make Mick Foley blush. When he loses, it should be by countout as he runs away and when he wins, it should be by the most nefarious or lucky means possible. As a prime example, I would highlight the end of the Swagtastic Street Fight against Barbosa. Ricky spent his time running away from Barbosa (perhaps even this needed to be played up more) only to eventually be cornered on top of the tron. What I would have done differently here was for Ricky to poke Barbosa in the eye accidently as he raises his hands in a weak attempt to fend off Barbosa's attack. Then have him push the half-blind champion off the tron. AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE RICKY HIT THE R&R OFF THE TRON! That makes him look fearless when in fact he should be the most gutless of all, with his swag front being just that, a front.
Instead, he should have just very, very slowly made his way down the tron and then eventually, after much pondering of whether the monster Barbosa was going to rise again or not, have him pin the champ for the 1-2-3.
A Ty Burna vs Barbosa feud would have been (be?) epic, but I would personally be looking forward to Barbosa/SHIT II, particularly given the story that Miko and I had worked out.
There is probably more but they do not come to mind.
