or just started what could be a magically delicous run to SummerSlam with the three of them and Heyman. None of this should end at Mania...
I've been watching this stuff for 40 years and we are truley in a golden era, the quality of matches, the crowds. the presentation, the story-telling....long-term stroy-telling is unlike any thing I can recall...attitude era was a fun ride, but it was throw crap against the wall and see what sticks....and then hit it with a steel chair and make it bleed and flash some puppies to pop a rating. This is cinema more often than it is not...
Still want to see a feud with heel Cena and Face Punk.
The NWO was really good right up until Hogan ruining it at Starcade. Then it went all down hill. I’m still partial to the mid 80’s NWA. But in terms of production value and everything else added in you are correct.
NWO did start really hot, but I don't think they had much long-term direction for it, much like RAW was crash-tv, I feel NWO went that way pretty quickly. Mid 80's Crockett was pretty good, it's just you'd rarely see a good match on the TBS shows because tv was used to sell tickets vs. tv being the focus of revenue. But Dusty could book a great program.
The NWO angle would have been Sting wing clean. Then having the NWO break up and been a clear kick off between Nash and Hogan factions. Hogan flexing his creative control prevented long term planning. So it wasn’t only crash TV. Bischoff and the undercard could have everything booked and worked out. But ten minutes before Niitro that doesn’t work for me brotha. And it wouldn’t just be Hogan , but his stooges as well. Or anyone he saw as a threat or didn’t kiss his ass. The Flock wasn’t allowed to beat anyone. Anybody outside of the top 10 wasn’t allowed any chance to move up.
I don't know why Vince kept making Rey do these weird ass story lines with his family.Love this account to look back. Check out the performers here ... Punk, Rey, and Dom!
Yeah I’m not a fan of Heyman being the focus of a storyline. Best used as nuanced add on.
Not sure if Bron is growing on me or if I'm getting tired of Finn's character, but I found myself rooting for Bron at the end.
Also his traps are massive.
Honestly, I thought it was okay. They didn't really say anything of importance, and all out brawls usually look pretty fake.
The worst thing about Wrestle Mania season is all the promotion on the shows in the weeks leading up to it. There is 30-40 minutes of pro-mos to start each show.
Last night I watched some highlights from Friday an I saw the Piper/Alba vs Katana/Kayden match and for some reason it just kind of bothered me.
Like, they shelf Kayden and Katana for months and bring them back as a jobber? You shitcan Isla Dawn, who had a decent gimmick with Fyre adn then you put Fyre and Piper into a tag match where they don't even wear real gear? Felt like all 4 of them deserved a better booking than that.
