RAW 3/13. Wrestlemania is soon, so they kinda care.

He was only generic because he never friggin said anything. Everybody should be given a mic and 5 minutes every now and again. Unless your name's Kalisto.

Dudes talking just to talk isn't going to fix anything. In fact, if a guy flubs it, like Kalisto, it can be damn near career suicide. Talking should only happen when it has purpose.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I hope they actually have an 8 to 10 minute match at Wrestlemania. I'm sure they could plan something out that wouldn't completely suck.

lol Emma

 

[enviousdominous]

Emma is The Terminator!

 

[enviousdominous]

HA! Corey Graves is my hero. "Are we seriously doing this again?"

 

[shafe_41]

I think from the time we started seeing Emmalina promos and now Emma promos... we will be told for roughly 6 months straight that some form of Emma is coming.

Talking develops character and adds personality. Otherwise you end up with high-flying face generic guy who gets lost in the shuffle. If a guy flubs it again and again, then go ahead and take the mic out of his hands. But you have to at least give people the chance. One of the reasons ECW was so deep character wise was because everybody was given mic-time. Your point does kind of stand in the context of the overly scripted WWE environment though.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Lol what did he mean by that?

 

[enviousdominous]

Wedgie!

In ECW, they got mic time in the midst of a feud. Paul was good at booking feuds for basically his whole roster, though.

I love Billie Jean King, but she was half Bobby Riggs' age when she beat him.

 

[shafe_41]

Never thought I'd say this... but Bayley... yawn.

You need a hug.

 

[Wildcat66]

You need a hug.

(Gives WrestleZone a hug)

Well sometimes. Look at people like Public Enemy and Stevie Richards though, guys who basically had no business getting over got extremely over because they were given freedom to be creative. All Buh Buh Ray Dudley said for I don't even know how long was "Mah name is Buh-Buh-Buh" and that got him over. Like I said though, those guys were allowed to say almost whatever they wanted. Now even if you give someone a mic, they read a script so it's kind of a moot point really.

 

[shafe_41]

God Jericho is fantastic.

 

[enviousdominous]

Has anything relevant happened so far tonight?

 

[Wildcat66]

Here comes the 'Huggy Red Baron' ready to strike on a not so innocent foe.

 

[Navi]

Jericho was great as usual. This shows been not that great. Another bunch of rematches. Bring on Mania and then the Draft and things will change for a few weeks.

Jericho put Tom Phillips on the list

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Saxton's nerdyness is a perfect foil for comebacks

At this point I think everyone just wants to get through with WrestleMania so we can have the draft. Gotta "shake things up" eventually right?

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Bayley should shake the ropes for an Ultimate Warrior comeback, that would make her a little more interesting.

 

[Snugglebites]

Balor gets fired, shows up on SD tomorrow and faces AJ at Mania.

When you have to produce as many hours of live television and deal with advertising dollars that number in the millions, scripting is very neccesary. The WWE has to attempt to be a lot of things to a lot of different groups of people.
