THANK YOU CJ *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*
Owens bleeding and not giving a shit made him look tough as nails.
Nothing will beat the legit shookness of 21-1 but logo swerve is a happy #2
Did some lifting. Thinking about heading to the grocery to get some more veggies for my big veggie thing. Maybe Redbox GOTG while I'm there. Just watched Devitt vs Okada from last year. Could be a pretty solid day. Probably try to watch most of Wrestle Kingdom 8 today if GOTG isn't in somewhere near. I'm watching a Young Bucks match and not hating it.
Stupid indie style is a lot easier to enjoy when in a good mood and not trying to write and gif shit. It's still stupid, though. Saying something not bad about the Young Bucks is my birthday present to you, FE.

Ridiculous. Guy should be fired.
"We got a flying cow, Maggle! HA HA..."
Well, "We got us a flyin Owen(s)" probably is worse.

The segway was slick for a guy without much experience on the mic but the fact that those insufferable Twitter trending spots are deemed "required" was the one archaic distraction in an otherwise pristine and polished show last night.
Show Twitter handles during ring entrances and the event hashtag periodically but don't insult my intelligence by saying Baron Corbin is the #1 trend in the world after a 30-second squash of some jobber on a network that's financially troubled because nobody's subscribing to it. This fixation on "we're trending / we're trending" that the WWE has is unnecessary and screams of the kind of desperation I would expect from TNA... not the #1 wrestling company in the world.
Use social media. Embrace social media. But don't shove social media down my throat and distort your impact within social media at the same time.

At this point, unless Raw follows the same booking (HA) I don't want the NXT guys called up to RAW just to get wasted

You shouldn't want them anywhere near that product so long as Vince is involved and RAW is 3 hours long.
Then again, the WWE didn't sign these guys to waste them on a hot crowd in Florida during the prime of their careers.
They've got T-shirts to sell.
Oh hey FE....
I lied.
I can't stop watching Vince's mannerisms during this...

Because of WWE's shitty camerawork, you can barely see Andy Leavine dropping the brass ring
Great job selling like a fish out of water, Andy.

He doesn't need to die, he just needs to be more hands off on micromanaging every aspect of the show. He kept telling Steve how they needed a room full of writers now that they're doing so much TV on the podcast, and how two people couldn't run the show anymore like in the olden days...
Yet he's still going line by line over the scripts and running the commentary team over the headset etc. He's still insisting on changing the ending of small matches meant to promote an upcoming NXT broadcast.
Vince truly knows his stuff. He's proven us wrong time and again so I get why he thinks he always knows best... but he's strangling the life out of his shows and performers. He just needs to back off some. NXT isn't micromanaged by Vince and it's a great product, and I hope Vince recognizes that. 8+ hours of wrestling a week or whatever is too much for *him* to micromanage.

You didn't really answer Xater's question, though. You know and I know and everyone else in WrassleGAF knows that Vince won't stop micromanaging so long as he has a pulse.

I did answer the question. We don't need *no* Vince. Just less of his micromanaging.
Basically, hard to let go of the empire you built.
- Hayes Fired
- Dunn Fired and a new producer willing to try new camera angles to give the show some life
- Vince Dead
- Steph staying away from Brand relations.
- Lawler Fired
- At least 2/3rds of the writing staff Fired
- Cena moved to an Undertaker Schedule
- Scripts have bullet points instead of all the dialogue
- Split the Divas into 2 groups. Wives/HayesSexSlaves/reality stars on one side and Wrestlers/Performers on the other.
- Book for both the town you are in as well as for TV. (Don't have Swagger on if you want him to be a heel when you are in Mississippi for example)
- Rotate the Main Event match between different belts to try and elevate them. No reason why a Tag can't main event if a story can support it.
- Even Steven Booking only works long term. Short term you can't protect everyone.

You gotta love CJ Parker breaking Kevin's nose All Japan style, sending a message for all the guys that have been there.
The thing is though, that I fear that will only happen once he is no longer with us.
Also just got this in the mail despite not being a subscriber for months lol:
Unless Vince turns it around he his gonna have to change something. His company isn't making any money and all of their bets havn't panned out.
Would also helped if he stopped paying himself 30 mil a year when his company is losing money.
every NXT champ started out as a face and slowly turned heel, which i think is really cool
Makes the jobbers look tough and the victors come out as a badass.
But we can't have that because Vince is getting ready to mortgage the whole spot o pay for Linda's Presidential election.

I suppose the compromise of keeping Vince alive and yet not have him micromanaging any more would be a coma. That could work.
Or have him be completely immobilized and unable to talk while still conscious. That could also work. That might be the best because then he could watch the product improve from his hospital bed and possibly come to the realization that he's a detriment to it.

NXT is ROH. The crowd gets behind someone and loves them and wants them champ, then they're champ, and then they get bored of having liked the guy so long, look for the next thing to be hipster fucks about, and turn on the first guy.
Steen won the belt and cut a heel promo about that very phenomenon when he won the belt from Davey "Crowd Hates Me Now" Richards.
yeah, I love that.
It gives some consistency to the whole thing and it also makes the title mean more since they do it to keep it. Like they value the title above everything else.
It also helps that it's well done.
Not on NXT, no, but he was heel on the main roster while he was NXT champion.
Curious trivia on the NXT title, each of the four reigns so far has been longer than the last, with Neville's being the longest so far.
I don't think Sami's will be that long, nor does it need it be, it was more about winning it, for him.
