Guest MikeSC Report post Posted April 16, 2004 SD writers have told Rey that have "no ideas" for him. OK, Rey --- only one of the most over guys you have and one of the most consistently good workers you have --- has a problem because creative has "nothing" for him? OK, WWE, seriously --- WHY AREN'T YOU CLEANING HOUSE IN THE CREATIVE DEPARTMENT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! You pissed away a possible PPV match in Booker v RVD. You completely screwed things up by having Eddy v Show as a SD match and Eddy v Bradshaw as a PPV match. You "killed" Kurt Angle.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Well, Rey doesn't fit into the WWE style. He's too quick and if he slows down, then he looks like a midget and really worthless. He's basically screwed. I'm shocked it took this long to start screwing him up royally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook Report post Posted April 16, 2004 I think they had a two minute match on SD a few months ago which was basically to further the Rey/Tajiri feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest croweater Report post Posted April 16, 2004 they did. After reading the spoilers for it I decided not to watch it due to how much it would depress me to see such a match wasted in 3 minutes. WWE didn't even try anything with Ultimo. Ultimo vs. Tajiry and Ultimo vs. Rey were two matches that I was craving when ultimo entered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Reading that over again...when was the last time creative thought of anything for Misterio to do anyways? It's not like his feud with Chavo leading into No Way Out was creative brilliance or anything. And I can't even think of anything before that. The WWE seldom comes up with any cruiserweight feuds/storylines/etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted April 16, 2004 I don't really understand why people are so up in arms about this. Creative hasn't given Mysterio anything decent to work with in at least a year. His "feud" with Chavo was mediocre at best, but I got to read every week how the WWE loves the way the two work together. The WWE needs to quit blowing smoke up it's own ass and figure out what is important, building up feuds and bring good wrestling to the table. Not dumb fuckhead storylines like Big Show's attempted murder on Kurt Angle....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 And before the Mattitude feud, which was very entertaining, we had that Big Show feud.

TheBigSwigg 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 This is pure insanity. Vince takes a guy who's a HUGE superstar and a name everyone who has followed wrestling in the past 10 years will recognize, and tells him that they have nothing for him to do.

Why is it that when the writer's can't think of anything to do with a wrestler, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, it's the wrestler who ends up getting buried and released while the writers keep their jobs? Agreed. It seems creative has problems giving A LOT of guys "something to do". At a certain point, you have to place the blame where it belongs. If it was one or two guys, I'd be forgiving. But we have Dinsmore having to play a tard to make it on TV, we have Rey gone because they have nothing, we have Haas buried because they have nothing, ditto Hurricane, ditto Storm, ditto Venis... -=Mike ...Heck, Russo is better than most of WWE's creative team presently --- and he sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted April 16, 2004 If only Chris Kreski (sp?) would return.... No joke. It's sad that you can actually pinpoint when he left.

I say that if you have someone there to help filter out the crazier ideas Russo would be very good on the booking team. Just not as head writer. Sorry, but I remember, too well, the stuff he did when he had some power and how absolutely mind-blowingly asinine WWF booking was in 1999 (noticeable when you watched WWF in 2000 and saw how a company is SUPPOSED to be booked) -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notJames 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Touching on what Spiffy said... Isn't it wrestling protocol to put wrestlers into teams when they have nothing else to do? It worked in the 80s with Akeem and Bossman, Martel and Santana, and to a lesser extent Hercules and Roma. So why not do it with Rey Rey and Kidman? And what better time than now, when there is a complete dearth of teams on SD!? Stupid humans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chazz 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Nothing new here. Seriously, how many times have we heard this since Stephanie McMahon took over as Head of Creative? This Is what Vince gets for surrounding himself with a bunch of yes-men who can't think for themselves. And as far as Vince Russo goes, you can say whatever you want about him, but just take a look at the numbers he helped to produce when he and Ed Ferrera Co-Wrote WWF/E T.V. (I.E. T.V. Ratings,Live Attandance,PPV Buys, Overall Interest, Etc.), and compare and contrast them with the numbers of the past 2-3 years. Russo Haters tend to forget these things while bashing him.
