maybe im making too much sense here but why come when a heel stable invades a company and tries to shut it down, only babyfaces fight them?

if a nikka trying to stop me from getting paper, fukk if i'm a "good" guy or a "bad" guy i'm gone be fighting these nikkas

Actually one of the doper things about the nWo angle was that they DID have heels and faces fighting off the invasion.

They just need to stop trying to recreate that angle. It was a special set of circumstances that allowed it to work, it's not gonna work again.

side note:

I hate how in most promotions when heels turn face they're magically fogiven by everyone. That was a big part of why Orton's first face turn failed. He did horrible shyt to everyone on the roster so fans didn't buy the other faces suddenly being in his corner.

I don't get why they have to stick with it and just not move on. What's getting the highest rated segment these days? Haven't checked in weeks.

Tazz won't do anything physical because of his neck, so I have to wonder why he's even involved in this storyline. It makes no sense that nobody ever gives him a beatdown; he sits behind the announcers' desk, it's not like he's hard to find. :childplease:

They had a storyline where tazz said he was Teflon status and couldn't be touched because of his contract :russ:

Meanwhile D'Lo Brown is dismissed from his office duties. :snoop: So you offer a fat announcer a more lucrative contract than your administrative staff? :why:

Edge and Orton's face turns were hillarious when cena embraced them...orton destroyed HHH's whole family, kicked his dad in law in the head, rko'd his wife and kissed her in the mouth...he invaded Orton's house...

but HHH keeps him employed and would probably tag with him against brock lesnar and big show :smugfavre:

Edge went to Cena's house, beat up his dad, all that...Cena was friends with him during his last face turn :heh:

Orton dragged cena's dad out of the audience, punted him in the head, beat him down for an entire summer...now they're pals and hugged backstage on camera :russ:

Here's another place wrestling logic unravels; why come when someone turns heel now they hate every face and not just the people or person who they have an issue.

May 9
-Bad Influence vs. Dirty Heels w/ James Storm as Ref. (1.11)

May 2
-Angle vs. D-Lo, Angle calls out Styles (1.06)

Apr 25
-Hogan/Bully Face to Face (1.22)

Apr 18
-Mickie/Tessmacher (1.07)

Apr 11
-Bully/Hardy (1.13)

Apr 4

-Knockouts Tag Match (1.21)

Seems like there is evidence that their second hour is usually stronger... probably why they're being pushed back to 9. Now they'll just have a decent 9-10 and a bad 10-11. :to:

Right, I remember that now. I thought at the time his Teflon reference meant that he couldn't be fired, but conveniently it also meant people weren't allowed to kick his ass. :heh:

Smart. Every wrestling talent should hire Tazz's agent.

Damn..Hardy isn't even the consistently top rated? That's comedy in itself.

One of the things I love about the Austin/Rock and Rock/HHH rivalries is that regardless of who is a heel or a face they always have a lingering animosity between them. They show mutual respect but they're never on some buddy buddy shyt (save that margaritaville promo between Rock and Austin).
