Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 The reason why WWE failed to explain how Kane survived the "burning" on last week's RAW was that the company feels they are the storytellers and don't have to give the fans any in-depth explanation. (Thanks to 1wrestling.com) So... There! If we want Marty Jenetty to dress like the Undertaker and suspend himself above the titontron like he was the Dead spirit they will do that too.. Wait...they already did that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted September 4, 2003 That's a good idea. It used to be when you couldn't write a decent and logical story you were incompetent. Now it's just being "creative". Sorry Vince, you just suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted September 4, 2003 This was at Rajah's Take the following for what you will. When writers were asked about exactly what happened to Kane after Shane threw him into the pit of fire, the word from the top (mainly McMahon’s office) was that fans have to give them a “poetic license” sometimes since this is entertainment. I never, ever fail to be amused at WWE's ambiguous definition of 'entertainment', especially how it only seems to apply to angles or wrestlers that they are completely behind, anything else be damned.

Guest EternallyLazy Report post Posted September 4, 2003 remember when Austin turned heel at Mania and the next night when they hyped his explanation, he basically said that the fans didnt deserve an explanation, and that was that Over time it was established that he was so desperate to get the title back that he "sold his soul to the devil" but after a huge turn like that, people were expecting more and they took the lazy way out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Austin's heel turn was a bad omen of things to come. Austin did the character beautifully, but it looks pretty bad when you can't explain the biggest heel turn of the year. Even if you think Kane has mystical powers (he's a witch!) it still doesn't explain half of what Shane or him do. For instance, where did Kane's security escort go? Magic?

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted September 4, 2003 It's like when you get caught in a lie, so you make another one to get out of it. And they get bigger and bigger and more bizzare, and after a while complete strangers can take one look at you and go "bullshit". What was supposed to just be a heel turn has now become some kind of slasher flick parody. Soon Kane will be hypnotizing people to do his bidding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Actually, a columnist on 411 had a lot of evidence that Bossman was behind the briefcase. No Corporation member was allowed to interfere in Vince/Shane vs. Austin. Bossman was kicked out on Heat. Then he was re-inducted on Raw without any mention of what happened. Thank god for Russo's thorough booking, ne? Oh, and as for the WWE's explanation... Jesus Christ, this company gets worse every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted September 4, 2003 There wasn't a mystery to F-View. Bischoff said he had the cameras installed when they first started... Anyone who gets paid to write things has an obligation to explain and explore the events they write. Talk about taking the cheap way out. If you're getting paid to write a TV show, shouldn't your ideas have some sort of thought process put into them. I mean besides "Fire pretty. Me want fire." Anyway, where do we sign up for this job? Write utter crap with no need for thought and say "Yes, Mr McMahon" and "Yes, Champ" when they finish a sentence, I want that job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sakura Report post Posted September 6, 2003 Nobody raised the briefcase. At least not anyone important. It was never made an issue. I don't understand why people always bring it up as something unresolved. It was never supposed to be. It was just some random person who controls the wire.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 Oh, fun! Professionals admitting to being lazy, stupid incompetents, and then staying on pay. My favorite remark about them being idiots was I believe Jester's: "I wish I could work for a company where I could say 'I think we should hook up jumper cables to his crotch!' and not only would I not get fired, but they would actually use my suggestion." *If I misattributed, please tell me who deserves the massive props.
