@cnmpacers ... haha & I say that with the utmost respect to the talent involved & understand that it’s a ratings boost (is it though?🤷🏽♂️) It’ll likely be about doing good business. What do I know though. I’m just a smart mark AKA no idea about the business of the wrestling business haha
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 On the heels of Mania, it would seem that’s the angle they are moving towards. Gable can play a cocky, arrogant heel pretty well. These two have been putting on 30-40 min house show matches with The Revival, so something’s brewing.
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 I think Roode tagging with Gable has helped him keep up with some of the great workers. However, I think if he went back to being a heel, like in NXT, with sensical booking, he may make an impression on you. To me as a singles wrestler that’s where he truly flourishes.
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 Ya Mid-card booking is awful, ie: US Title. Understandable about Roode, perhaps it’s who/how the match is being put together to reflect the story they want to tell. Flair had a slow working style & that didn’t seem to impact his legacy as an in-ring performer. But it’s Ric Flair
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 Bobby with the Revival & someone else could be the closest thing to a new 4 Horsemen faction there is. Just need a fourth member....? Anyways, if I don’t comepletely lose my mind on their nonsensical booking I can always rely on fantasy booking with other likeminded friends. 🤘🏽
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 And to your point, take a guy like Bobby Roode in NXT. Written as an advantageous/opportunistic, championed, suit wearing heel & hits main as a face, who fake smiles, wears a robe for everything, has an entrance & a catch word “Glorious” No substance, even with his main titles
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 AOP has had Visa & injury issues from what’s been reported. The lack of build up of talent/characters coming up to main is where I have an issue. The average fan watching main wouldn’t probably know who they were in NXT. Continuity and attention to detail is what lacks most IMO.
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 Factions period don’t even last long. Wyatt Fam had a decent run. They exist & are booked well in NXT. Sanity is a recent example of failing to capitalize on something that had mystique & a cool look, with some amazing talent, but hardly made an impression once they got to main
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 Totally & not that I know a lick about the business of the wrestling business, but it would seem as though, with many examples over the years, that’s where Vince’s pride/ego gets in the way. It wasn’t his own creation, so there’s little investment.
@shawnmullin@SeanRossSapp @hamdicapped101 Agreed. They technically tried by having AJ with Gallows & Anderson, but just like the NWO version in WWE, “The Club” was a lame & pathetic way of trying to introduce another Jap spinoff faction. Had they included OGBC Finn Balor, who knows what could have happened from there.
