Promoter Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 from indeed wrestling (http://indeedwrestling.frih.net/) http://dl01.blastpodcast.com/indeedwrestli..._1157433044.mp3 He discusses: what WWE think of TNA, Randy Orton's suspension was a work (to move him over to Raw and work the internet,) what work in production was like , minor things people got fired for, and why WWE don't generally hire fans of the product. It's apparently the real thing.
Enigma Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Not trying to flame, but this was posted almost two weeks ago in the Comments That Don't Warrant a Thread...thread.
Sideburnious Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Sorry yeah, its working. My pc just went a bit crazy for a second.
Youth N Asia Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I was bored after a couple minutes...anything worthwhile get said?
snuffbox Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 WWE looks down on fans of the product, but thats not really anything new.
Youth N Asia Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Yeah right! Next you'll tell me Hunter ISN'T as over as he was in 2000
snuffbox Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 The part where he talks about RandyOrton's suspension being a work was kinda interesting.
The Niggardly King Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 What about the little things some people get fired for?
snuffbox Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Saying, or allowing the film of it being said, the word 'finish' apparently gets you fired.
Downhome Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 The interview gets really interesting. Just like I said a while back, I highly recommend it to you guys.
Guest bobrock29 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Who is being interviewed here?
Guest bobrock29 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 The part where he talks about RandyOrton's suspension being a work was kinda interesting. This is maybe why Meltzer was always vague about the reasoning for his suspension. Cause he got worked just like everybody else.
snuffbox Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Did they mention the 'suspension' on tv?
Atticus Chaos Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Can Meltzer get worked like that?
Guest bobrock29 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Did they mention the 'suspension' on tv? Yes
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 The part where he talks about RandyOrton's suspension being a work was kinda interesting. This is maybe why Meltzer was always vague about the reasoning for his suspension. Meltzer wasn't vague about the suspension. He was at first, but then said Orton was suspended because of so many incidents regarding his behavior and that the company felt they had no choice after Orton violated the wellness policy by openly smoking a joint. As for Orton's suspension being a work to "further his badboy image", why? It's not like they've done anything on TV with Orton to make him out to be a bad boy since he came back. Would they really not put the World title on him just to further an intricate angle designed, it seems, to work the 'smart' fans only to then not do anything with it when he came back? They wanted to push him hard, and were going to put the World Title him at their biggest show of the year. Did they suddenly decide not to do that because they wanted to further a non-existent storyline with an angle aimed at insider fans that wound up meaning nothing? Until they put Orton and Edge together on Raw on Monday, they've done nothing of real value with Orton since he came back. Does that look like the kind of treatment you give someone that, if you believe this "PA", you went to the trouble of working such a subtle angle for, that was meant to work so few people? And It's not like Orton needs a worked suspension to further his reputation for being a prick. And people seem real eager to believe this PA, it seems, just to want to think Meltzer got worked. Maybe the PA got worked by people. Or maybe he's just working everyone else.
snuffbox Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Everything he said sounded very plausible except the Orton thing. Actually, the Orton 'work' thing is believable because the WWE is more than stupid enough to waste their time doing it. Much like how they continue to try to get Orton over.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Actually, the Orton 'work' thing is believable because the WWE is more than stupid enough to waste their time doing it. Much like how they continue to try to get Orton over. To be fair, Orton does get a reaction. It's just nowhere near the level of reaction they want him to get, and I don't see this feud with DX helping. I think Orton's at Maximum Reaction Level.
Downhome Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Can Meltzer get worked like that? I'm 100% sure that he can get worked, just like anyone else. I'm not totally against Orton. I'm not a fan of him right now, and never have been other than his match with Foley that most people seemed to get into. I will more than likely be on his side against DX, but that's mainly because I like Edge so much right now, and I'm tired of DX (sadly, word is that they don't have any plans at all to end the DX angle). I think Orton would benefit greatly from some sort of involving storyline that would then lead to a dramatic change in character. Every now and then I see something of him in the ring that makes me take notice. It's not very often, but he can end a match out of nowhere and he's been quite inventive doing so, and that can get exciting. Hell, when he beat Carlito on PPV I couldn't help but sorta like it just because of the finish. If he got more active in the ring, gave up so many restholds and crutches in the middle part of the match, he'd be a decent worker. I think a drastic change in character would help him just as much though. As it stands right now, I don't care for him at all really.
Just John Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 I thought the part about the See No Evil hype packages was funny.
