I guess they finally figured out that actually using or at least mentioning the guy they're paying 5 trillion a year for might be a sound business strategy.
Oddly enough, they've got that with Seth Rollins right now because he hasn't established a new finisher yet, so he's won matches off a few different moves.
I feel a large factor in this is that WWE has trained its audience to not care about the actual matches or even the actual storylines (hence their constant lack of focus on matches or storylines making any sense), but more about the entrances and the mere presence of the WWE Superstars themselves. It's why there's 50/50 booking. It's wins and losses don't matter. It's why titles don't matter. WWE focuses on the idea that at the end of the day, fans aren't paying money to see John Cena win, or beat X guy, they're paying to simply see John Cena.
It's about the brand and not about anything else. That's why the matches are so formulaic and you see the same endings with different guys in different roles with no rhyme or reason. What's actually happening is secondary to the presence of the action figure/video game character being live and in person.
"London tells another Benoit story. He was with Benoit and Jamie Noble in Buffalo and Chris was hungry so they pulled over at a Hooters. It was 11:30pm and they were getting ready to close and as they were shutting the door, Benoit stuck his foot in and asked if they were open. Anyway, they sat down and a table near them were being loud and disrespectful to the waitress so Benoit told London that he should go over and say something to them. He went over and told him to keep it down and how they were irritating his friend. The guys told London to bring his friend over to them but after a minute they stopped. They leave and approach them to say they were sorry and they recognize Benoit and when one of the guys went to put his hand on his shoulder, Benoit told him to get his fucking hand off of him. After the waitress thanked London and took their order, Benoit told him that the "seeds were planted" and that he could now go fuck her. "
After talking about how they were like the recurring characters of a TV show and learning that the actor who played "Boner" was just found dead, the interviewer then asks them about Chris Benoit. Kendrick said that he always got the vibe from him that he was crazy as London said they referred to him as being "tripolar," but they both liked him while they were in the company. Kendrick said that Benoit was very complementary of his work and London adds that when guys would ask Benoit on how to perform a move or hold, he would tell them to go ask Kendrick. They then talk about how Benoit and Bob Holly didnt think they were taking their jobs seriously because they were not always in the gym. Kendrick even recalls being in the shower after a show one night in Nashville when Benoit opened the curtain to ask him if he worked out that day. London said that Benoit and Holly took them under their wing early on, helping them out. After a month, Kendrick left, stating that they were lunatics and the whole thing was crazy. London said that by 9am, they would have worked out for two hours, eaten a huge breakfast, then do a ton of pushups with Holly and Benoit."
"Now, they tell a story about Benoit at a Bob Evans. London and Kendrick were sitting on one side of the table and at the other side were Jamie Noble (who London refers to as "Mini Benoit"), Bob Holly, and Chris Benoit. Benoit orders an insane breakfast, demanding his steak be steamed, with Bob Holly asking for twice as much food. London said he ordered egg whites and and a small steak to not piss them off but Benoit made him get the big steak. When Kendrick ordered, he asked for pancakes and waffles with all sorts of syrup and as the waitress was taking the order, Benoit reached his hand across the table and pushed down the waitresses pad and made Kendrick order what he had and watched him as he ate everything on his plate. London said he valued these experiences though and unerstood some of what they were trying to teach them."
This Lana storyline has really shown the problem with guaranteed distraction finishes, including PPVs. It doesn't matter how good whatever match may be, when she's going to be the finish, none of it matters.
There was a JJ Dillon shoot from 15 years ago that Scott recapped where he talks about entrances becoming the focal point and leaving the matches heatless.
Everything has the same hit the finisher kick out now you hit your fisnisher and I'll kick out now I'll hit your finisher and you'll kick out and then I'll finally hit my finisher for realies this time and you don't kick out finish.
Let guys win with secondary moves. Or don't let guys get ALL their shit in. Like you could make a checklist for Orton and you know he's not ending the match until he gets in his power slam and weird rope ddt and one missed RKO:
Barrett catches a guy in the back for Wasteland, runs down to the ring with the guy on his shoulders, slides in the ring and hits Wasteland looking at the hard camera
I'm amazed they haven't done this more. They gave Bryan the running knee, he killed Cena with it and BOOM. Now you have a new finisher outside of the yes lock. (And yeah, I know they gave him that because realistically, you can't use a submission hold as your only finisher, but still)
I feel like Lynn is a guy who really overestimates his importance in the business. When they made him roh champ his "claim to fame" was having "wrested Ric Flair 5 times." Seriously who gives a fuck?
I also think that with lesser companies out there and the WWE leaning to a more corporate environment its going to get a lot tougher to connect with sources. Some corporate guy who doesn't care all that much on wrestling isn't going to risk dishing dirt if he wants to keep his job.
It happened a few times in 2010-2011 as I recall.. Miz, Rey, and Cena at least. Although Rey and Cena won a weird limbo version of the WWE title since Punk never lost it and then returned still as champ. The Rockymania era kind of made the title changes more predictable, although I like that title reigns have mostly been of decent length (for everyone not named Daniel Bryan) the last few years. I mean only Punk has had a LONG long reign, but damn did they used to love hot-shot title changes. They've curbed it a lot.
He was literally the nicest person I have ever met when I talked to him in 2004; humble and gracious to an incredible degree. Funny how time changes things.
Gonna put up a shoot interview poll. What kind of shoots do you want from the following categories: Crazy Stories YouShoots Breaking Kayfabe The 2nd Volume of any other shoot I have recapped
I only liked that a little when the person leaving thought they were so much better than everyone staying. Its like why be an asshole just because you are working somewhere else.
I like when an employer fires me for bullshit reasons and legitimately thinks it's going to ruin me, and then I go out and find a much better job. Makes me wanna go back there and just slap them in the face. With my dick.
ECW, by far. They were actively trying but Spike screwed them hard by not advertising them at all, giving them a death time slot, and only having them long enough to test out a wrestling market on their network in preparation for WWE.
Going through a FIFA video game forum, so many dudebros consider this year's ruined because there's GIRLS in this game and how dare EA try to go after the money in the year of a Women's World Cup when they should've added more third-tier African leagues.
Yeah, not a stretch to see how GamerGate came about. NO GIRLZ ALLOWED
At one point there were rumors that Mojo was seen by many as Cena's heir apparent as the top guy in WWE. I'm glad that either turned out to be bullshit, or his shitty NXT run changed their minds.
I was directly responsible for three people quitting the restaurant I used to work in due to my riding them mercilessly because they couldn't grasp the proper way to put in an order. I felt wonderful when I found out.
Alright, two votes for YouShoots and two votes for shoots filled with crazy stories. The first three replies to this (from those who haven't voted already) will decide which category.
It's....something. It's not terrible but it's not very good either.
I love that after all that work to keep the old building they didn't order custom windows for the top level so they had to cut into the goddamn sign anyway. LOVE that.
The surroundings are fantastic though, living in an apartment where a goddamn ballpark is your back yard must be AMAZING
In other news, Marvel is really playing the long game with regards to getting people to lose interest in X-Man and FF movies. Erasing their existence from merch is a odd tactic.
My parents are acting like the world is about collapse because my brother, who's in New York right now, smokes cigarettes. I'm lucky I'm the spineless goody two-shoes of the family.
I agree, the finishes are a huge part of why that's the case.
I was listening to a podcast a while back and they were talking about a big wrestling event some years back, where the crowd wasn't really getting into the matches early, because they knew that they would be getitng 20 minutes of action. Then the second night (I guess it was a multi-night event), one of the featured matches ended after two minutes off of a secondary move. It wasn't a great match on its own, but it taught the crowd that the matches could end at any time, and they were much more engaged after that.
I didn't do a very good job relating the story, but the point holds--we've had so many matches that were totally predictable in terms of ending, and we know when a match just isn't going to end. PPVs are better just because there's always more unpredictability.
So my sister found out a dirty secret of mine, something I did years ago that I'm not at all proud of, thanks to a random story my friend was telling at my MarBQ the other night. Now she's legitimately pissed at me and has threatened to "put me on blast".
I can't deny that on an objective scale Alexa Bliss is probably the hottest woman in NXT, but damn, Bayley is so cute and then you her body is more insane the more you see her.
The one time I went to an Olive Garden, some lady shit herself. She was wearing white pants and it was hard not to notice after someone felt the need to point it out to me.
Are the servers still up for WWE 2k14 on Xbox 360? I don't have an Xbox Live account and don't want to make one just to find out that I can't download any wrestlers or arenas because they took the servers down.
Let's just say it's something involving a camera phone and a naked woman... not something I'm really proud of, but it was more of a prank towards my friend at the expense of another person, which I felt awful about.
Face Brock Vs Rollins time?
ReplyDeleteI hope Brock and Paul stay babyfaces.
ReplyDeleteGood timing....I think just about all his heat is gone from WrestleMania.
ReplyDeleteeh I think Brock will always be over. His part-time status is actually a blessing as the WWE would have killed his heat had he actually been on TV.
ReplyDeleteThis is a joke right?
ReplyDeleteAmbrose's odds of winning at Elimination Chamber just went from 1% to .000000001 percent.
ReplyDeleteRiiiiight. Just wait until that first riff hits and/or Heyman walks out for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I've looked forward to a worked beating like I'm looking forward to Rollins becoming a resident of Suplex City.
He was at 1%??? That seems too high.
ReplyDeleteVroooooooooooooooom, vrooooooooooooooooooooooooom
ReplyDeleteIf they wanted to put the title on Ambrose, I don't see how this changes anything.
ReplyDeleteBecause that kind of ruins the story of Lesnar wanting revenge on the guy who stole his title, if some random midcarder is carrying it instead.
ReplyDeleteSeth can always win it back beforehand.
ReplyDeleteI guess, but would there be any point in a 3 week reign?
ReplyDeleteHe would still want to kill the guy for screwing him over.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be cool TV.
ReplyDeleteThat's b/c you're into foreign curators who not only look past but actually condone your murderous ways
ReplyDelete*Hit the Music*
ReplyDeleteI think his views evolved like President Obama's.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU SMELLALALALALLALA
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, they've got that with Seth Rollins right now because he hasn't established a new finisher yet, so he's won matches off a few different moves.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a heck of a guy.

At least Fear Factory hasn't sued for royalties yet (ECW entrance music)
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like the real life version of Mickey Rourke's character in The Wrestler.
ReplyDeleteJust without the accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about him, as well. Since they 86'ed the Curb Stomp, he has finished opponents with that pendulum DDT variation and the Pedigree also.
ReplyDeleteElaborate, por favor.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should just have their main event in the second half of hour two and let the last hour be largely fallout and upper midcard matches.
ReplyDeleteDusty worked very good pro wrestling matches.

Thanks, BB. Good grief Benoit was a loon. "Planting the seeds"? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he was a whacko
ReplyDeleteWas thinking the exact same thing. He even looks like him physically for fuck's sake.
ReplyDeleteExcept for TNA tickets or PPV's.
ReplyDeleteThis Lana storyline has really shown the problem with guaranteed distraction finishes, including PPVs. It doesn't matter how good whatever match may be, when she's going to be the finish, none of it matters.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to watch a Jerry Flynn shoot.
ReplyDeleteI may be the only person to utter those words in all of humanity.
I feel like the amount of wrestling we get on Raw is the television programming equivalent of the "Too Much Tuna" prank from Kroll Show.
ReplyDeleteThere was a JJ Dillon shoot from 15 years ago that Scott recapped where he talks about entrances becoming the focal point and leaving the matches heatless.
ReplyDeleteThe Shane McMahon Effect
ReplyDeleteSometimes that midcard guys give the best shoots because they have nothing to lose.
ReplyDeleteEverything has the same hit the finisher kick out now you hit your fisnisher and I'll kick out now I'll hit your finisher and you'll kick out and then I'll finally hit my finisher for realies this time and you don't kick out finish.

ReplyDeleteOn the positive side, it has been *forever* since we saw another installment of Dolph/Kofi's best of a million series
ReplyDeleteI'd review it
ReplyDeleteHeh, that's a better explanation than I'll ever see by the NXT writers!
ReplyDeleteDamn, you're right. I was still waking up this morning when I wrote that.
ReplyDeleteAs a published writer, though, I'm doubly ashamed!
I feel like Lynn is a guy who really overestimates his importance in the business. When they made him roh champ his "claim to fame" was having "wrested Ric Flair 5 times." Seriously who gives a fuck?
ReplyDeleteBingo.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Observer changes nothing, everything is fine.
ReplyDeleteOP is from TNAMecca, obv
ReplyDeleteRead sheetsandwich.com. That site is kinda funny. Its a site about the "dirtsheets."
ReplyDeleteAbout the radio shows, there are some segments I dislike but its easy to skip over the granny stuff. The song parodies are awful 90% of the time too.
ReplyDeleteI also think that with lesser companies out there and the WWE leaning to a more corporate environment its going to get a lot tougher to connect with sources. Some corporate guy who doesn't care all that much on wrestling isn't going to risk dishing dirt if he wants to keep his job.

ReplyDeleteOne of my reporters once told me "It's Always Sunny in Pawnee in your office."
ReplyDeleteHaha, fuckin right son.
That reporter knows what's what. Don't give him a raise, though.
ReplyDeleteOh he left, he's miserable at his new job it's delightful.
ReplyDeleteThe graduation section is a lot less enjoyable at 4:20 p.m. compared to what it was at 9:00 a.m.
ReplyDeleteWhich company did Spike screw harder: TNA or ECW?
ReplyDeleteWatching IYH Mind Games, cause its next on the list
ReplyDeleteECW by a landslide.
ReplyDeleteFor whatever reason I thought you meant Spike Dudley and I'm like "what?"
ReplyDeleteHmm.
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one. I'm going with TNA just because that was a decade long investment.
Quick Question: Did Chris Fothergill-Brown announce he was quitting the site? Haven't seen a review from him in weeks.
ReplyDeleteCrazy stories are always the most fun!
ReplyDeleteI've wondered the same. I liked his reviews, and then he just disappeared.
ReplyDeleteServes him right. I was always a little happy when I found out that people who left my employ were miserable in their new jobs.
ReplyDeleteA guy left the blog without a meltdown? Is that allowed?
ReplyDeleteI only liked that a little when the person leaving thought they were so much better than everyone staying. Its like why be an asshole just because you are working somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteParticularly when you tell them, "Dude I've worked where you're going, you aren't going to enjoy it, I promise."
ReplyDeleteAnd then three weeks later you get a text saying, "You were right, anything open?"
No. Not until you suffer for at least a year, then I'd hire him back in a second I loved that kid.
It's a rarity. Has it happened in the past few years with someone who wrote here?
ReplyDeletecertainly is not encouraged
ReplyDeleteWhat was the last show he reviewed here? I can check his site to see if he did any more.
ReplyDeleteTNA did it to themselves. Spike royally rogered ECW.
ReplyDeleteI like when an employer fires me for bullshit reasons and legitimately thinks it's going to ruin me, and then I go out and find a much better job. Makes me wanna go back there and just slap them in the face. With my dick.

ReplyDeleteHTM was okay, Cornette was Cornette, and has anyone else even done a Round Two?

I miss his unabashed love of The Faces of Fear.
ReplyDeleteThat show isn't posted to his site yet.

ReplyDeleteA manual search revealed his last review was 97 ECW Cyberslam. It was posted here on 4/30. I hope he is okay.
ReplyDeleteI was directly responsible for three people quitting the restaurant I used to work in due to my riding them mercilessly because they couldn't grasp the proper way to put in an order. I felt wonderful when I found out.
