The Cerebral Assassin
So John Laurinaitis gets to keep his job. Why? Because the WWE Board of Directors said so, that's why.
The WWE Board of Directors have been involved in quite a few storylines lately. They seem to be making quite a few substantial decisions as of late, such as replacing Vince with HHH, being mentioned in relation to other storyline developments, and now have decided to go against HHH's wishes in regard to JL's firing, keeping JL as Raw GM (according to WWE.com).
At first, I didn't mind the WWE Board being used in storylines. It made sense in the overthrow of Vince (I guess). But now it seems that the WWE is using the "Board" to make all these decisions, without much explanation... just to serve the purpose of the story. This faceless, far-away, unconnected, mystery group. In other words, it's pretty much the Anonymous Raw GM rehashed, just without the annoying laptop. I mean, it pretty much started right after the Anonymous Raw GM thing anyway.
At first, I thought it was kind of cool to have the WWE Board of Directors involved in the story... but now they seem to be involved in pretty much every thing... why hire HHH as COO if you're just going to make your own decisions anyway? I liked the concept of having this mystery group making a big decision here or there... but now it has boiled down to just cheap writing that the WWE can get away with, just 'cause "the Board says so" without any explanation or motive. I mean, WWE.com pretty much said "even though JL was going to be fired, and the WWE Universe wanted it along with HHH, the Board has decided to keep him." ..............Why?
It's pretty much just lazy writing at this point. Booking certain things to happen without any worry as to "would this guy to do this, or would it make sense for this guy to make this decision?" It's pretty much now: "the Board has spoken, no explanation necessary, deal with it." I don't like it, and it's beginning to be overused.
What do you guys think of the WWE Board of Directors? Do you like their involvement in all of these storylines, or do you too feel "they" are interfering too much with little to no reason behind their actions?
