RIP Brand Split: This Wildcard Rule is trash

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Not only that but I believe the media looking "down" on wrestling as some carny shyt further increased Vince's insecurity.

Not only that but I find it funny when HHH, Cena and other big name wrestlers babble on and on about "how you gotta LOVE it" when their boss himself doesn't love it.

It’s sad because most of the wrestlers themselves love what they do. It’s the biggest reason that they deal with the shyt that :flabbyvince: throws at them. It’s why many stick around in hopes that he’ll get over himself and embrace it already. Even letting the creative team and the wrestlers do their thing 20 years wasn’t driven by him enjoying what he does, but by his need to not have his headstone to read “put out of business by Ted Turner and WCW, a promotion based out of Atlanta”. Being looked down on by the mainstream press absolutely makes him double down on what he does.

I don't know how you lot watch this shyt.

I can skim thru all 3 hours of RAW and 2 hours of SmaKKKDown! in about 4 minutes.

The only thing that could keep my attention is the mere mention or sighting of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Stone Cold is the first true African American wrestler in my eyes.

Vince McMahon has the mindset of old out of touch rich republican.

So much truth in this

Why won’t Buddy and Cedric just go back to 205 too. May as well

They basically forgot about the 4 person rule for a few weeks now. More than 4 Raw guys have been on SD the last few weeks.

This crap keeps getting worse.

Dolph is SD they just fukked up the graphics last week.

Now they can't push that BS Survivor Series line anymore about 1 night a year SD and Raw go head to head.

I only saw the main event (which was pretty good). Based on the report I read, the wildcard rule has turned SD into just a second night of Raw. Damn

 

[Two Stacks]

Here's what i see:

no new stars.
too many tv matches in between PPV matches. you cant have orton and jinder wrestle 3-4 times in between 2 PPV matches. why would i watch the PPV? they use the same formula and dont realize it fails.

1. Wrestler A sees success (wins a title or w/e)

2. Wrestler B gets mad, attacks A, gets upper hand.

3. A comes out for promo, calls out B. They agree to a PPV match then fight, setting up main event for later.

4. The face wins, causing heel to attack.

5. The following week, 3-5 happens again.

6. The go home show, 3-5 happens, but the heel wins.

7. The PPV happens, and the face wins.

8. Next night, heel complains, and feud continues for 4 months.

im not trying to see the same 2 ppl have 15-20 matches on TV...and 3-4 on PPV...then house shows.
