It is on Vince to a certain degree, probably more than Cena, because he does seem to lose interest in characters after they get fed to Cena. Cena could also speak up and try to help put over some of his coworkers though. By the time the Nexus/Rusev/Wyatt stuff was all happening, Cena was well past the point where wins/losses would actually going to damage his merch numbers or status in the company. Which is why Cena getting wins over every up and coming talent is stupid because it ultimately doesn't help the product.

I think what doesn't help is that the feuds don't last long enough. There isn't any build up or any longevity to 90% of them. I was listening to Storm & Cyrus's podcast the other week and I totally agree with what they were saying on this subject - there isn't the build to get people to really care, everyone is in a fucking angle / feud and moves from one to the next. Rather have 3 or 4 main angles, let them develop, let a villain become a challenger people believe might beat the champ, do it over several months before you pay it off etc etc. Part of the reason these people go into relative obscurity is because the main event feuds don't last long enough.

Boy, is he stoned for his class portrait.
I had stopped watching by the time the edge cena stuff happened (and the majority of edges main event runs), but before I was lapsed I remember them pouring huge amounts of effort into making edge a main eventer. Did a better option (cena) take off and he was deprioritized?

Cena was just gaining steam as THE GUY just a hair before Edge (won the title at 21, Edge wins MITB at the same event).
But Cena was the big babyface, so he gets the priority.

Feature role is a bit of a stretch there, Bonesaw.
Jobbing to a vanilla midget like Tobey Maguire.

Here's that song they play at the beginning of the lucha segment on Konnan's podcast. Brought to you by Triple Aaaahhh. I love it.

Stoked I'm going to the first day of this. Wolverhampton on Friday (pretty much purely for BSS vs Elite), then back up to Glasgow to go to ICW Barramania on the Sunday. Poor bastard Trent is gonna be needing to do double duty on Easter Sunday too, since he'll likely be defending the ICW title at that show.

To be fair, that entire match and the politics around it were pure carny. Good thing Spidey went into business for himself by not stopping the robber.

Jack is in my top 10 on the roster. Never forget the swaggy. It's delicious.
Parker was right to let the robber go. He had no way of knowing Uncle Ben would get capped for it
Unlike Hogan, Bonesaw understood the need to put over young talent. A true class act.Feature role is a bit of a stretch there, Bonesaw.

Putting a rookie in a Hell In A Cell was a bold booking decission.
peter parker, like many young workers of the day, didn't know it was a work until he was passed the curtain. bonesaw, a veteran of the business, know how to work a work even if the other worker tried to shoot.
successful in his shoot, parker was later worked by the promoter. however, he was later shot on the hardest by a shooter who legit shot his grandfather, resulting in one of the greatest works in american history.

Harley race body slaming Andre the giant in 1979
Strong Kobayashi doing it in 1972
As far as I can tell, that's the earliest known footage of Andre getting slammed, as he'd only been wrestling in Europe before he toured Japan for IWE. I think it goes Kobayashi > Butcher Vachon > Race > Kamala > Hogan.

That promoter after his match was carny as fuck. He was lucky Peter didn't slap him in a front headlock, give him the ol crankarooskie, Richard Belzer gimmick brother.
It started as a work, but then Uncle Ben got involved and it became a shoot.

Bruce's character knew what was best for business.
That heel run didn't last long after that legit shoot. Spidey is the greatest face in the industry, hands-down.

Imma go ahead and say her morals were shitty and he should've stopped him. He's actually a kind of a shitty person when he puts on the mask, like, constantly, 90% of the time. But I love him, fave Superhero.

Bootaaay, if you were a promoter, would you stiff Spider-Man, or give him what he was owed?

Let's some random dude off the street in a match was probably a bold booking decision.
He had a more successful heel run later on in his career that also became the launching pad for another up and comers career who had previously fizzled out in the journalism field
