Looking at the EC3/Spud feud, it almost didn't matter who won (although Carter was the smart choice of course) because the way the feud had been booked, which gave plenty time for both to shine, meant that even in defeat Spud looked strong and was elevated.<br /><br />Magnus/Bram too followed a similar dynamic. Even though Bram lost the blow off match, he still managed to retain his heat and presence.<br /><br />It's about having feuds that are given time where both people can "get their shit in" so to speak.gaonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-85071807752617557552015-05-21T01:47:30.753-06:002015-05-21T01:47:30.753-06:00Perhaps she'll become the babyface GM of Smack...Perhaps she'll become the babyface GM of Smackdown or something.
