Tired WWE Plot Devices

Question: has a HEEL ever been arrested?  I can't remember ever seeing that happen, but it might be something a little different.

You know, I always wondered why no police arrested HHH for openly admitting he committed assault on HBK back when they first started this retched feud. Or why no one arrested Kane for admitting to involuntary manslaughter and molesting a corpse(is that an actual crime? I forget).

I beleive that is called necrophelia, and it is illegal in most if not all states.

 

Damn, I watch to much Law and Order.

The distraction walk in if you will with the theme music. Why is it every time this happens somebody in the ring turns around to the titantron and gets pinned with a roll up? Or the guest third announcer who is silient during the whole match then when the match is over beats up their rival.

This was an honest to God idea Kevin Nash expressed in an interview with Wrestleline shortly after the sell of WCW.

 

I went to them about four months ago and said 'Why don't we do this: since it's a work, why not have 12 rows deep of people, and put green screens around them. Computer digitize the whole thing. Do it front of 400 people in the building, pay them $50. Now you go into your archives, take your beauty shots from different arenas, and tonight - from the studio, do the show. Why don't you just say you're in Tibet? Everything's a work, why can't that be a work? Now you put in a sound stage with your sets - commissioner's office, locker room. It becomes a television show, and that's what it is. The reaction to this idea was like I was speaking f*cking Latin. What I tried to explain to them was the reason why people don't watch our shows? Because the production quality is so bad, it makes everything else that shitty.

Then the laugh track played after Nash said that.

Nash further added:

 

"And I think I deserve another title run in exchange for this awesome idea. This time Goldberg jobs clean on a fingerpoke."

Yes, or not even that, the "guest commentator" in general. Come on, who DOESN'T know that thety're going to interfere?

That's only ever worth doing if they Edge and Christian it by saying right off the bat "we're here to do one of them run-in things".

You've been warned about this, and this is a final warning. If you post in the manner we discussed again, you're outta here.

The 'serious voice', when pretending that the footage that they're going to show is really someone getting hurt. Save that for when someone is, I dunno, really hurt.

On the heels getting arrested thing, Vince had Taker arrested back in 99 during the Ministry angle.

 

They haven't done this in a while to my knowledge, but lord knows I was sick of hearing the heel respond to a face challenger by saying "I'll face you anytime or anywhere...BUT NOT TONIGHT!" They did that like every other week for a while.

 

Another thing I noticed last night...why is it that during every pull apart brawl, the face has to leap over the top rope and take out the heel and the wrestlers that are trying to separate them?

How come no one remembers the CLASSIC HHH gets arrested storyline...where he got arrested on Smackdown and he came back on Raw and Questioned everyone from Angle to Rock to Foley and TBS but it turned out to be TEST who had him arrested and Test cut a promo that make the Rock go "damn man!".

 

Test's only other worthwhile achivement...the other was getting carried by the bosses son.

In the same vein, do they really need the ring there?  I mean, jeezuz, they've been doing that whole "ropes" and "turnbuckle" and "mat" thing FOREVER.

Not to mention the whole "live crowd" thing. They've only been doing that for 100 years. Not tired at all. Nope.

Actually, the AWA tried that during the Team Challenge Series. You saw how well that turned out.

HHH wasn't really a heel at that point though.

i concur on the the whole "Heel comissioner" thing, and it's polar opposite, the "Face comissioner", who always favors the faces. Mick Foley is and was my favorite wrestler, but i absolutley HATED him when he was comissioner. he came off as such a pandering kiss-ass it made me sick.

 

just, once, could they have a commisioner/figurehead who was completely, 100% non-biased? a comissioner who wanted what was best for the SHOW and not one set of wrestlers with a certain philosophy. JUST ONCE, i would like to see this. if it doesn't work, then fine, but at least give it a shot.

Gorilla Monsoon? He seemed to do things "for the fans" more than for the faces.

Sounds like Jack Tunney.

Might as well get it over with; there's not a whole hell of a lot that's worth a damn in wrestling any more and it wouldn't bother me if the whole industry went kaput.

But then again.

 

Hardyz? You guys get unlimited title shots against Edge and Christian!

 

E and C? You just lost your belts (After the Hardyz valet helped them win, no less) You get one more shot for the duration of the Hardyz reign!

That's because he was an asshole to them from the beginning. It fit with their history.
