Triple H named Head of Talent Relations and Creative in WWE. 2023 WON Booker of the Year.

[Rell84shots]

it would give her character a fresh coat of paint and get her back on track to being the top woman on the roster, sorta like rhea when she first joined judgment day

That would only work if HHH could be trusted to book her properly. Her shytty booking is why she's not the top female anymore, it has nothing to do with her character. The difference between Bianca and Rhea is that Rhea needed JD, because the main roster crowd didn't give a fukk about her until she started skanking it up. Bianca was popular in NXT and it carried over when the crowds returned.

 

[Raw Sauce]

Just like when people point to Bianca's W-L record as some sign that H isn't trying to diminish her star power. We all know it's almost impossible to get and stay over in the WWE without story/character/mic time. What's new about her character lately? Why does Bianca get less speaking time than Candice Leray? Would Triple H ever have a segment where Becky or Charlotte stand in the ring for with 3 other women while the mic makes the round and have them never say a word? Would they have been expected to be out of the main event scene this long to help another division or wrestler?

The strategy is clear: keep someone on tv winning meaningless matches and rarely doing much besides that. Eventually they cool off with the crowd and then the usual suspects will say, "x isn't as over as y even tho they were winning all year with lots of tv time".

Hunter talks a lot about stories and long term storytelling. Here we are a couple weeks away from the Royal Rumble and I'm wondering where some of this is going.

It seems like the Bloodline saga is pretty much done unless The Rock is pulling an okie doke. Are we headed towards Roman and Punk? I feel like Rollins and Punk is the better pathway because those two legitimately do not like each other and Seth has been more vocal about Punk than Roman.

Then that leaves Cody and Gunther. Cody is looking to wrap up this K.O. feud shortly. Gunther doesn't have much going on.

Rhea just won the women's title back so she's definitely heading into to Mania with that belt but against who.

Also, where's Jade?

This is what the "Let it play out" crowd thrives on.

The "what if" and then when there's a mid ass plot point (Finn finally turning on Damian, Damage Ctrl finally turning on Bayley, Dom finally turning on Rhea, Tiffany finally cashing in on Nia, etc.) they pretend it's the greatest moment of the year ... despite it taking entirely too much time to develop and every one seeing it come a mile away.

The real issue is; plots that should've ended like three months ago didn't give them enough time to develop brand new ones.

 

[Easy-E]

Why has Gunther stopped wrestling? Damn..just like after Rhea had that belt for months and Becky was doing all the big matches...wtf..Cripple H is a idiot.

I got sass when I pointed out he only defended the title 4 times since August.

"That's once a month....What, you want the champion to wrestle on FREE TV?"

Ayo, what the fukk is "free tv" because we all pay for that shyt?

We over hear looking for one title match from the BRAND CHAMPION per month.

Laveck's black magic is workign so good.

There's no sass, and I never mentioned on free tv unless someone else mentioned it. I simply asked how often you expected Gunther to defend and you didn't answer, unless I missed it

 

[LordDeathwatch]

Even during wrestling's peak of popularity, the belt wasn't defended on a weekly basis most of the time but the key difference is that these guys aren't even featured as prominently and consistently. I get & agree with making the Champ the special attraction so it builds importance but it's counterproductive if it's taken to the point where winning the strap is like getting a part-time schedule.

Being the World Champion used to be you getting the most TV time (promo or match) and the best placement on the card. If your goal is to prove you're the best, you want to be out there reminding people. Breaks immersion when you saw more of a guy while he was contending than when he succeeds.

H and Creative need to find that balance.

does Gunther have a program running now? He feels like an afterthought, which is something that should not be happening when you're a world champion

They have Cody over him(which makes sense in a way) on Netflix

And outside of Rumors nobody lined up

I wouldn’t even be surprised if he entered the Rumble sense theirs no contenders for him at the moment

The sheets got him lined up to face Logan. *sigh*

So don’t be surprised if he interrupts Gunther tomorrow.

Exactly.

Winning the highest prize on the show and your reward is to be featured less than the people under you?

Which means he going to be a face in that feud by default

They haven’t been booking the smug foreign heel Gunther for some weeks now

Cap

Plus, people weren't squatting on the title for a whole year, either.

2024 - 9 WWE Title matches
2007 - 18 WWE Title matches
1999 - 47 WWF Title matches

Laveck's issue is that he's booking the titles like the UFC.

I apologize, sincerely for rather seeing Gunther wrestle and defend his title and IDGAF about a white IC title belt fight between Dakota/Lyra.

There's no sass, and I never mentioned on free tv unless someone else mentioned it. I simply asked how often you expected Gunther to defend and you didn't answer, unless I missed it

I didn't, because you were trying to be cute.

If you don't care, then, don't quote me.

I sat and listened to this very sub bytch about Roman defending the title like 30 times in 3 years, now, it's okay, because we're "IN THE ERA (Laveck)."

4 defenses are crazy in 163 days, when two of them were against Damian Priest (after winning the title from Damian) and the actual story of the match is month 73 of the Judgement Day saga.

Then, it's Sami Zayn (again) and Randy Orton (that match was bad).

Then, you have him eat a Cody Rhodes pin, when the new title needs more prestige (that's another convo).

This "Gunther is losing his confidence" shyt is cringe...against Damian Priest (1 time World Champ) and Sami (who's been a joke 90% of his career).
