chaosrage 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2003 guerrero is one of my favorites, but i dont think they will ever push him hard enough to reach austin's level. his in ring is the best in the company, his promo work is solid, as well as his crowd interaction. the only problem is the stereotypical mexican gimic. if they toned down the accent and made him more serious he would have a chance, but it would still be a slim one. Exactly. It's because they won't push him. That's it! So how can you pretend like the storylines of 98-00 won't work because there's not enough talent..... when in reality they have all the talent they need, they only refuse to use it?! jericho is great too, but we've seen how much faith they have in him ala the lucy the dog angle. They did give him the world title though and sometimes he's in 4 segments a night. Maybe your soap opera writers are just clueless about wrestling and don't have any idea on how to build anyone up. Here's a solution. Hire back all the writers from 97-00. angle is really good all around, but he as a person just cant play the kind of character that wwe needs for the next superstar. angle is really good, but kinda corny regardless of what role he's in. Go back and watch the coldplay video. There's nothing corny about it. benoit is a workrate god, but thats all. people pop for his matches, but they dont really have a choice, just look at him out there. unfortunatly he will never be big because he just cant talk and doesn't have charisma. you know vince, man. They did, in the summer of 2001. They didn't exactly get many chances to besides that. He was a heel before the Royal Rumble and he went to waste afterwards. Shawn and Bret weren't big either but Vince didn't have a problem with them. And please note that even though they aren't doing anything with him, he's still over and according to the ratings chart, brings in a ton of viewers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but shock tv is not what the audience wants to see anymore, they've had their fill for awhile. I wouldn't mind if WWE did a couple shock angles, as long as they backed it up with GOOD wrestling. What the WWE needs right now is balance. They can still do shock tv angles to bring in the calibre of fan who enjoys that, but they should also have more traditional feuds based on simple premises so everyone has something they want to see. And above all, if the angle is based around shock tv, make sure it is set up around GOOD wrestling. Wrestling foremost, the angles and stories should just keep things interesting inbetween matches and to set them up. Angles should not be the focus of the shows.

Invictus 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2003 You mentioned before, RobVanDam420, that Vince is trying to compete with sitcoms. Why would he do that? Because he has lost touch with his fans and, some might say, reality. The best example I could think of off the top of my head was if MLB was losing ratings to the NFL and Golf. They wouldn't start intergrating football and golf elements into their sport and make sure that the actual baseball takes a back seat in the hopes of luring over some viewers, now would they? That is exactly what Vince McMahon and company are doing right now. They are trying to be something they are not, and are putting the thing that makes WRESTLING WRESTLING, the actual WRESTLING, into the back of the line. When you have some 30 odd minutes of wrestling on a 2 hour wrestling show, something has gone terribly wrong and it's time to step back and re-evaluate.

Invictus 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2003 the thing is vince is not satisfied with viewership. he's hungry and wants as many viewers as he can get. i enjoy it. But he has lost viewers because of it. If he wants to bring in new viewers, he's not doing a good job. Ratings are currently steady around a 3.5 mark, but they were much better a couple years ago. Like I said, balance is what the WWE needs. You need stuff to appeal to a broad range of tastes. You can have one or two shock angles, and then balance those out with one or two more traditional, simple premise angles. And then mix it up with at least 1 hour of wrestling every show. At least 1 hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
