The real WWE problem


Scott, 

With all the hullabaloo over the Q3 earnings and the delay of the WWE network in the UK, I think people are missing an even bigger issue.

The WWE has yet to respond to the critics with a petulant wrestling gimmick.

From Irwin R. Schyster to Billionaire Ted to Right To Censor, the WWE has a long, storied history of mocking anyone who gave them shit. Where is that fire now? Where is the Financial Analyst wrestler decrying the WWE Network? The disgruntled investor? Why hasn't Bo Dallas been repackaged as a smarmy "Wolf of Wolf Street" type stockbroker who is working to lower the price of WWE stock so he can sell high later? He's VK Wallstreet Jr for crissakes! 

The Vince McMahon of old would deal with this criticism by wrapping it around a midcarder and having John Cena put him through a table every night until it went away.

Don't believe the hype. The real news is the WWE has grown up and grown soft. That is the real tragedy.

Mike

And they have BOTH MEMBERS of Money Inc under contract and working as agents!  

Clearly Vince went soft the moment he allowed himself to be talked out of beating up a guy in a panda suit in 2002.  It was all downhill from there.

    Please tell me this is a thing that almost happened.

  2. THE GENETIC JACKHAMMER NEVER GOES SOFT, GODDAMMIT

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yup. First show after the lawsuit was in England and they had that segment booked for it until Vince was talked out of it at the last minute.

    ReplyDelete
  4. The difference is that now Vince actually cares what other rich Americans/media think of him and the wrestling business. It's true - Vince (and with him the entire wrestling industry) has gone soft

    ReplyDelete
  5. I love hearing new Vince stories.

    ReplyDelete
  6. This makes me a sad panda.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Whoever talked him out of it should have been immediately future endeavored.

    ReplyDelete
  8. There's a simple formula.


    1) Take a slightly daft idea.


    2) CRANK IT UP TO ELEVEN, GODDAMIT!


    2.5) Add midgets.


    3) Ratings.

  9. Ah, the vindictive wrestling gimmick. One of my favorite sub-categories.


    Virgil is probably still the best one.

    ReplyDelete
  10. A Jordan Belfort gimmick would be awesome. Wrestling always has had fancy elitist rich guys, i bet a loud obnoxious rich degenerate stumbling around drunkenly would get over well. And for that matter, why hasn't therr been a Patrick Bateman style rich psycho?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I know that Vince loves money, but I imagine that it irked him to no end that Dusty Rhodes took that bullshit polka dot gimmick and got way over with it.

    ReplyDelete
  12. TOTALLY agree. Granted, American Psycho is my favorite movie. But Patrick Bateman is a character archetype I can't remember them ever using, and it would be awesome. My coworker and I were *just* talking about this exact topic last week, and neither of us could think of a wrestler like that. It doesn't even need to be gimmicky or specific.

    Damien Sandow would, I think, be tremendous with this gimmick.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's been a long, long time since we had a topical "comedy" segment on the level of Trump vs. Rosie or Hillary vs. Obama.

    Let's keep it that way.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think there's room for that kind of silliness. The problem is whenever they do those segments, they usually are way too goddamn long.

    ReplyDelete
  15. It takes a lot for an entire WWE audience to chant TNA. Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson that day.

    ReplyDelete
  16. They should create a character who's a wrestling fan that hasn't subscribed to the network. They can call him an idiot and make fun of him for paying for PPVs. $$$$

    ReplyDelete
  17. TNA was going for that with Sam Shaw at first but LOLTNA.

    ReplyDelete
  18. They should've given it to Derrick Bateman

    ReplyDelete
  19. i would love it if Bradshaw revealed himself as a large stockholder and tried to take the company back back to the top managing a stable. Problem is there is no chance in hell they would ever admit their shortcomings/failures on tv.

    ReplyDelete
  20. maybe the ecw zombie could do it

    ReplyDelete
  21. I disagree because that's the beauty of a thing like this: if it doesn't get over and the worker is embarassed > "haha, jokes on him". if he manages to make it worker and get it over > Vince makes a lot of money because of it. so he "wins" either way.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That was Heenan's idea for a name

    ReplyDelete
  23. JBL would also be the face in this scenario, and no thank you to face JBL.

    ReplyDelete
  24. How did he not know Dusty can get over? He's always done it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. 'Billy Dialup': But GUYS, I'm one of the tens of millions of Americans still not served by broadband internet providers!


    Cena: HA!! LOSER!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thing is, he booked Dusty to win his first feud against Bossman, then go at the very least 50/50 with Savage. So it was clear Vince wanted to push him.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wasn't there someone who posted here like a year or two ago who confirmed that? Supposedly he worked for the WWE up until Survivor Series '11and dished on some backstage stuff

    ReplyDelete
  28. Why not book a hostile takeover where someone is trying to overtake the company?

    The man behind it is of course................

    ReplyDelete
  29. Fandango would make a great American Psycho

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm confused. I vaguely remember such a guy but I'm not sure what specifically you're talking about him confirming.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yeah, he definitely has the look for it.
    You know what else would get him over? Just coming out and saying, "I'm done with dancing for all of you" and just kicking someone in the head.

    ReplyDelete
  32. We'll get there soon enough with Cena saving us from Mother Russia.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I really think WWE needs Vince to be booked like Gollum on tv. There's a whole Vince/Mr. McMahon Split Personality thing going on.

    ReplyDelete
  34. His calling Stephanie 'Precious' might put off some viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  35. 'This is for the natural gas embargo on Ukraine! *fireman's carry Attitude Adjustment!*

    ReplyDelete
  36. Pimp Drop. It's a Pimp Drop

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'd say the coffee which was tainted and caused vomiting is in the same ball park.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I don't buy that Vince wanted to bury Dusty. He wasn't going to be taken seriously in 90s WWF as the old fat man he was. May as well make him stand out with the costume and have a fun character with Sapphire.

    ReplyDelete
  39. He'd have to eviscerate a few Divas wouldn't he? Not that I'm necessarily opposed to the idea.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Dusty's original conception of Saphhire was supposed to be a prostitute.

    Man, Dusty's year in the WWF was a really interesting one, when you think about it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. If they want to go all the way with this Rusev thing, Lana managing to wrest control of the company away and instituting a Communist paradise would be awesome. Wrestlers would have to wear generic trunks and use public domain theme music, as anything else is bourgeois. An atmosphere of paranoia is fostered backstage, as Lana creates a secret police to ensure the rules are followed while providing exceptions for wrestlers who support the state. And they could have Cesaro wait in bread lines!

    ReplyDelete
  42. also, there is huge difference between "poking fun at someone" and "burying him".

    ReplyDelete
  43. This is the new Russia, not the Soviet Union! Crony championshipism would be the mantra of the day: only certain preferred entities and wrestlers would have title shots while the rest rotted away on the mica- wait a minute...

    ReplyDelete
  44. "Wrestlers would have to wear generic trunks and use public domain theme music, as anything else is bourgeois..."

    Are you calling Dixie Carter a commie?

    ReplyDelete
  45. It wouldn't be the first time.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Of course, which makes it all the more hilarious when they mock WCW now while currently doing the same things they mock WCW for.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Justice League season 1 had quite a few bad episodes. Fury was definitely one of them.


    Season 2 was much much better.


    Most of JLU was good as well.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Apparently he's killing it in TNA right now as Ethan Carter III. One of the few bright spots in the company.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Thus qualified to do the job, yes.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ten bucks and a pizza says it was Johnny Ace.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Truer words were never spoken.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I remember he talked about how they wanted to (or were going to) evolve Cody's "Dashing" character to more along the lines of the Patrick Bateman character but the higher ups didn't want to

    "They are STILL trying to get Rey back?"

    But they already have Ryback

    /You :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Watching the Jericho Monday Night War on the live stream now. It's a pretty good show. Someone was bizzarely arguing here recently that WWE no longer acts like Benoit doesn't exist, but they just had a segment on the shocking jump of Saturn, Malenko and Eddy Guerrero (with lots of EXTREME ZOOMS to focus solely on these three people), and it was a little obvious what was missing.

    ReplyDelete
  55. There's also a leaked photo of him being the other fourth member of Evolution when Batista was injured, but Jindrak looked like a total goober in a suit.

    ReplyDelete
  56. How many GOOD topical gimmicks/segments/storylines have there been anyway? Only two that come to mind are LAX and the HBK/JBL feud in 09.

    ReplyDelete
  57. You're sure about point 3?

    ReplyDelete
  58. How hard is it to arrange a Rey program starting at Rumble and him retiring at WM, then doing HOF the year after? Assuming he somehow doesnt get injured in that process...

    ReplyDelete
  59. We could get something similar, there's a chance that Vince might see Wall Street soon.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Has Vince pulled this sort of stunt since the Kroenke BS five years ago?

    ReplyDelete
  61. And don't forget "Akeem the African Dream" was a poke at Dusty too.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Better not watch their intergender "match"

    ReplyDelete
  63. The worst part about burning through old tv shows is the damn theme. I'm only finishing season 3 of Roseanne and already I'm sick of the theme song.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think you're confusing American Psycho with Actual Psycho.

    ReplyDelete
  65. It changes slightly at the end when they add words. Same tune though.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think it varies throughout as well. I seem to remember some laid back, slow and lazy version at one point.

    ReplyDelete
  67. BILLY DIALUP.



    You win everything. I am mailing you $16 and all my leftover Halloween candy.

    ReplyDelete
  68. ARRRRGH THE BARBARIANNovember 4, 2014 at 2:06 PM

    Can't be creepier than the first one. And he WON the feud and never got any comeuppance, due to Kane's magical front loader skills.

    ReplyDelete
  69. They mess with it a bit as the seasons go on, Season 1 is super basic, season 2 and 3 they add drums, and yeah like PTB said they eventually go with lyrics for the last season or two.


    It's still unfuckingbearable.

    ReplyDelete
  70. It really is amazing that they hired him less than a year later.


    Oh, and don't forget Reo Rodgers. Man, Big Dust must hold the record for Most Gimmicks Designed to Mock a Particular Person.

    ReplyDelete
  71. The immediate dropping of Muhammad Hassan was my first sign that Vince was losing his grapefruits. I just never knew how far downhill it would go.

    ReplyDelete
  72. WHAT DOESN'T KILL US IS MAKING US STRONGER

    WE'RE GONNA LAST LONGER


    I forget the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  73. He had no choice.

    ReplyDelete
  74. FUCK FUCK MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING FUCK people are so fucking stupid.

    #LifeInACallCenter

    ReplyDelete
  75. Ha. I *just* said this yesterday, that I was surprised they didn't have a heel called "The Investor".

    ReplyDelete
  76. It's pretty easy to do it when the network says drop it or we drop you.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Still more appropriate than Hogan/Brooke

    ReplyDelete
  78. I fully support this idea. But, I think it's already moot since Rusev is siding with the Authority. Hrmph.

    ReplyDelete
  79. ...the Twins shortstop?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Not on my shitty stolen stream, they have the same playback capability as some paid subscription services.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Isn't simply a case of the McMahon's are the only people with any real stock? Their millionaire standing is pretty much dictated by how much their stock is perceived as being worth so obviously they don't want to draw attention to that particular area of business. Also It's one thing to (bluntly) act like detractors, who are trying to drive away business, are dicks, but you can't do the same if it's about people who have an investment in your company.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'm shocked they pulled the plug on the Xavier Woods/Kofi Kingston/Big E stable. I was convinced they were going to do it after the Atlantic article about WWE's race problem.

    ReplyDelete
  83. That was my short thought sequence as well, but Vince getting pushed around by UPN was something new to me. They have run angles much worse for years past, and no one ever wrote the re-wrote script for him.


    Granted...the London Bombings and all. But it just seems like it was a turning point towards this kiddy crap that we have gotten for the last 10 years.

    ReplyDelete
  84. So, Scott realized my banning was a mistake and has unbanned me. Just wanted to let people know, as it was not me who posted the picture.

    ReplyDelete
  85. This is almost as good as Kane almost having a 2 foot cock in See No Evil.

    ReplyDelete
  86. There's something about a great wall in China....

    ReplyDelete
  87. I was pretty happy with the episode, as I thought there'd be a lot more WCW bashing than there was. Interesting that they mentioned and showed Benoit in a previous episode, but not here.

    ReplyDelete
  88. YankeesHoganTripleHFanNovember 4, 2014 at 2:38 PM

    Ah so THAT'S the explaination for the Gobbledy Gooker. Vince had an issue with a turkey farm.

    ReplyDelete
  89. They aired the Hassan thing the same day as the London bombings even though everyone knew it was a horrible idea. They got so much backlash that it was just a no-win situation

    ReplyDelete
  90. Right, IP's always lie.

    ReplyDelete
  91. We need you on the case Detective Cresto

    ReplyDelete
  92. Well considering they're still doing things together on the house show circuit Id suggest your shock is premature.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Vince is still a millionaire even without the stock. Billionaire status though? Yeah that hinges on the wwe stock.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I hope they bring Rey back as #30 in the Royal Rumble this year!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Something about rain and how WE MIGHT JUST GET SOME SUUU-UUUUN.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Yup! He and Kent Hrbek have bided their time for a hostile takeover.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Honestly I'm surprised no one has suggested the original photo poster was me just based on my coincidentally doing this dumb bit at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  98. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 4, 2014 at 2:45 PM

    Jobbing at house shows. Probably.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Ah. That's too bad. He would have been terrific in that role.

    ReplyDelete
  100. This all reminds me of:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBtHXC-JOX8

    ReplyDelete
  101. Yeah, that was way more Tyler Durden than Patrick Bateman. Could've worked, but whether it was the writing or O'Hare's performance, the execution wasn't quite there.

    ReplyDelete
  102. That's who that is? Yeah, I guess I can see why people say WWE missed the boat on that dude in the very little I've seen of him.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Sweet.

    Now I can rest easy when I go to bed tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Why did I think Kent Hrbek was dead? I'm not confusing him with Kirby Puckett. I thought Hrbek was dead too, and I don't know why.
    Anyway, I think Hrbek belongs in the ring. Just ask Ron Gant. He got suplexed right the fuck off of 1st base in the '91 World Series.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Souns pretty random. Who would you choose for the #40 spot?

    ReplyDelete
  106. No. They are just messing with you.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Dear BoD:

    What's the REAL problem with WWE?

    YOU know what I mean.

    ReplyDelete
  108. But whose side are you on?

    ReplyDelete
  109. So someone went out of there way to not only find a picture of Abeyance, but to also somehow figure out your IP address, create another account with the same name as another poster on the board, create the name with your same IP address, and then post said picture?

    ReplyDelete
  110. But whose side are they on?

    ReplyDelete
  111. The real problem with the WWE is that it's Mr. Burn's assistant. It's in its early 40s, unmarried, and currently resides in the high 2.0s of the TV ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  112. This is what I don't understand. If this person was trying to pretend to be John Edwards, and somehow has access to everyone's IP's to impersonate Kyle....why wouldn't he have impersonated John Edwards.


    Kyle did it. Or the person that did is a fucking retard. Those are the only options.

    ReplyDelete
  113. He might even be in!

    @Hrbie14 Nothin better than WWF NASCAR racing.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I think Sting gets stupider every year.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Be nice. People who actually have mental retardation don't deserve to be lumped in with this pointlessly banal internet creepiness.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Oh come on, you know Vince's real side project would be in it's early 20s at least.


    Wait, we're not talking about women are we?

    ReplyDelete
  117. You know, looking back, Hassan can tell his kids, "I was killed off by the Undertaker".


    That's pretty cool in hindsight.

    ReplyDelete
  118. You have a problem with pointlessly banal internet creepiness? Because I am pointlessly banal internet creepiness.

    ReplyDelete
  119. No you're not.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I'm enjoying this episode of Raw on Hulu.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Exactly, "commie" is way above her reading level.


    She probably thinks a "commie" is something that indicates a pause between parts of a sentence.

    ReplyDelete
  122. The breadth of my knowledge of Minnesotans extends to Kent Hrbek (actually from Minneapolis, didn't just play there), Jesse Ventura, the Gagnes, the Hennigs, and Bork Laser. So I'm just inclined to believe that every person from that state can suplex folks.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Is Jindrak still around?

    ReplyDelete
  124. also a notable omission of Chyna, since that was the program that got Jericho off of Heat and back into the IC picture Interesting they all sold Jericho's debut as the greatest thing ever since in his book he is unsatisfied with it and notes Vince wasn't happy with it either because, god forbid" he wasn't a bad ass like all the other heels in WWF at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  125. He be great in the remake of the Wizard of OZ.

    ReplyDelete
  126. There was no way the WWE could have predicted the London bombings. But once it happened the day before Smackdown aired, They were left with no option but kill off the character.

    ReplyDelete
  127. That's the worst part of watching shows on DVD, no matter how great the theme tune is normally. Once you sit through it 4-5 times a night for several nights you mute the tv as soon as the theme tune starts.

    ReplyDelete
  128. He's a teacher in upstate NY. He can tell his students

    ReplyDelete
  129. Cole ain't that bad, but i don't watch that much - so my witness isn't that credible. I did like JBL joking on Kevin Nash -- Kevin Nash is bigger than ever!!!!!

    They need to hire that Howard Cosell impersonator.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Watching The Wrestling Classic on the Network and I 've realised that despite the constant documentaries and coverage all the other early Rock n' Wrestling landmarks get, this show never gets mentioned despite being the first ever PPV they put out.
    There's got to be enough ammo for a hour long doc, or we could just get a Austin/Vince doc because we've never seen that yet

    ReplyDelete
  131. Watching the Cinema Sins "Everything Wrong with Training Day" and uh...


    Damn I really need to see Training Day again that movie rules.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Guy pulls out a knife - screams I could bleep kill you -- and the announcers scramble like eggs. Uh, it was a pair of scissors and I think he was going to cut off Big Al's Beard and I think that might have happened during the 2000 Sullivan regime.

  135. It seems weird they never have interest in doing any of those 80's type docs, I guess because mostly everyone is dead?


    I'd love a doc on the first SNME and all the madness that must have gone on to get that thing produced.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Watching Raw on Hulu -- Big Show and Mark Henry are locked in a blood feud! THE TIME MACHINE TO 2011 WORKED.


    Actually I've been mostly enjoying this.

    ReplyDelete
  137. It was a really, really good Raw.

    ReplyDelete
  138. "...That's not a question, Professor!"

    ReplyDelete
  139. There is so much material they can draw on looking back on the Rock n Wrestling era rather than keep going back to the Attitude era well.
    Although they probably have more people buying Austin shirts than Hillbilly Jim shirts.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Does free for news subscribers mean that they have to commit to a month anyway? Or can they cancel?


    AND WHAT THE FUCK DOES A FAITFUL DAY ONE SUBSCRIBER LIKE ME GET?

    ReplyDelete
  142. Like seriously...whose side are they on?

  144. Lots of shows need gangbangers.


    He could have been a Mayan on the Sons of Anarchy.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Also, why isn't HHH on Team Authority? I mean, Stephanie is all "we need the best team ever" and HHH isn't taking that an invitation to suit up?

    ReplyDelete
  146. Adds for Hulu on Hulu + are as stupid as adds for WWE Network on the WWE Network.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Other option, and I imagine this has already been looked into.


    Whoever it was is some sort of forum admin and got the IP's that way, and maybe he only could get Kyle's IP because John doesn't have an account, and maybe he then figured if he made it a double bluff no one would catch him because they'd either blame John or Kyle and never suspect him, and maybe this person is definitely Cult.

    They have a nice big man chemistry going with each other.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Here's another thing: So, Survivor Series is free this month, right? And you can put together a whole card of Survivor Series matches without one signle match, then have those matches build to the next month ppv with the TLC and stipulation matches. I mean wouldn't that make sense? Give away the Survivor Series as all tag team matches, then set up the singles matches for the next month. Obviously they're doing Team Cena v. Team Authority to save Cena v. Rollins for next month. Do that with Team Bray v. Team Ambrose (and do the old DCOR with the captains to set up next month in some kind of no-dq stipulation match).


    Instead, I bet we get the one five-on-five match and then a bundch of singles matches, then a bunch of singles rematches the next month.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Or...it's one of the mods! Or Scott!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I think he'll definitely end up being on it.


    What's the status on Batista? Also, maybe Jericho as well on the face side.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Amazingly enough they've actually pixelated Bob Orton's ass crack when his trunks get pulled down for leverage. UNCUT & UNCENSORED!

    ReplyDelete
  156. I thought DiBiase stopped being an agent?

    ReplyDelete
  157. I wonder if WCW had stayed in business through 2001 if The Cat would have gotten the title? He was really fucking awesome. (Except for the in ring, but I even love the loaded red shoe gimmick)

  161. Didn't it happen the morning of the airings, and as a result there was no way to even pull the segment, because every station would have needed to do that?

    ReplyDelete
  162. No. They are actually that fucking stupid.


    Occam's Razor.

  163. The whole Dirvivor Series thing will spill into another HHH vs Orton feud. I have no credible sources on that. It isn't fact. It is my guess.

  164. Does anyone know what Bam Bam doing a stretcher job from some kind of heart attack or something after he beat the wall was all about? Did that angle ever lead anywhere or is just some wcw swerve effect thing?

  172. He had his run, they made money off him, now let the guy go. How many years has it been now that Rey's wanted out of his contract? I've never understood WWE's position on this one.

  174. I would have bought one if I had an Olive Garden near me. Spaghetti is about the only thing I know how to make so I eat it every other day anyway. I would be in Olive Garden almost as much as that guy. $100 for 7 weeks of meals is a bargain.
