ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR

For one take out that damn music. Look at how they did the empty arena match between Rocky and Mankind. They didn't go for any craziness, no silly music to take you out of it. They played it straight and had Vince on the mic selling it. Yes it was pre recorded and yes it was a gimmick match, and yes it ended with mankind pinning the rock with a forklift, but it didn't come across as contrived or silly as this match. It didn't help that there were no stakes in the match. Like its a non title match between two people on different brands...what does Bray get if he wins? Nothing. What does Randy get if he wins? Nothing. Does it affect either one of them if they lose? Nope not at all. So the lack of stakes didn't help the silliness of it.

The matt vs jeff stuff had stakes, was a blood rivalry, had history, and of course it was played for jokes but it could do that when you have everything else there. Wrestling is basic storytelling and sometimes I wonder if these cats just know how to tell a story

So you'd have it be more like the Boiler Room brawl between Taker-Mankind?

IMO, it needs to be consistent. You can't do a TV show with Bray/Orton and then have regular wrestling on the rest of the show. You need to stick to one formula.

If it's done correctly yes but they never...

Hold up

JINUWINE!!!!

Okay back to my point, yeah I like when they do it right but they never do. It comes off as hokey and dumb or straight to DVD. Uproxx did a list last year of the least scariest moments they've done.

The only way it can work is if they actually make an attempt to make something suspenseful and not scary. Like Austin getting embalmed sounds insane but you believe they might actually go there as opposed to ghosts in a haunted house.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Is this a normal match?

 

[LastManStanding]

I'm still that WWE is crazy enough to have Roman come back and have a match in THREE WEEKS after that epic backstage savage beating that would have had anyone else be gone for 6 to 8 months

"Roman is God" - Vince
