WWE writing by itself has always been shit. Always. Anyone who ever went anywhere always talks about either completely rejecting their ideas, or engaging Vince in some weird brainstorming session where they sell an idea to him.

Like Manson The Mutilator!
Sounds like it was me, you, and a guy in the hospital who can't reach the remote.
Yeah, it's the right time of year for something like that.. If not on PPV then around the end of the year and leading up to the first 2016 Raw. I remember them doing a good job building up that Miz/Morrison match for the first Raw in 2011.
Was he awake for the entire show?

He even watched Donny afterwards.
It's all (wwe) been shit for years and years.

Stings first look makes me feel weird. I thought I really wanted him to have a WM moment, and I am happy he got paid. He just waited too long. I hope he got treated well backstage.
I think his career might really be over, but I will always remember 89-1998.
Dude had am amazing career.

leave him out of this
That's what Vince said when they were booking the WM31 main event.

R-Truth was the best part of the build up to that IC match. I don't recall D. Bray doing much except for getting the pat on the back from a bunch of olds.

Y'know they could've ended the Rusev/Lana/Ziggler/Summer storyline just by having Rusev v Ziggler one more time, and have Lana interfere in Rusev's favour, revealing they've been engaged for weeks, and Rusev just took a strong dislike to his show off stupid american ass, and decided to humiliate him over the course of months. Then Hot Summer could be distraught, Rusev and Lana could laugh and leave the arena.
Sure a 5 month plan or whatever just to humiliate Ziggler might seem like a stretch, but it would've been an ending. It would've done something and might even have got them both over again as big heels. Then Lana could start coming out and telling everyone to Shat Tup again.

The fact R truth was afraid of heights but was in a ladder match was pure genius.

I still can't get over the transition from the promo listing all the praise for Banks/Bayley at TakeOver: Respect to that shitty Naomi/Nikki Bella batch. #DivasRevolution

but who could forget this?
Maybe with all his concussions D-Bry didn't even remember where he was that time last year, so it didn't phase him.

He owns a tv now. He watches Raw and MMA on it. He didn't before he met her.

I don't know, friends, the "Vince/Dunn burial" complaints get really tiring pretty fast. Its like people change tack at the speed of light just to bitch, e.g. "why were the heels wearing anti-Breast Cancer stuff last week this breaks kayfabe!!!" and then being like "Vince is a douchebag who is punishing Rusev for breaking Kayfabe" literally the next week.
The entire Lana/Rusev/Summer thing came off as an worked shoot to me, especially with the suspiciously timed Summer proposal bullshit last week.

That's because people don't want to either accept or think that the problems can have multiple points that should be addressed. It's easy to hate a fictional problem.
I kind of think a lot of the Vince/Dunn burial comments are halfassed joke comments, honestly.

I sort of hate the hypocrisy of the complaints. If you were Vince you would hold someone back if you thought he was a goober too. The problem is Vince is damn near a billionaire while most of you are "between jobs", yet you think he has worst taste.
Why does everyone think that things will magically get better when HHH gets the book? From everything I've heard so far, he will not run WWE like he runs NXT. He has said multiple times, that what works on NXT is not necessarily how he would run the main shows, because they have to appeal to a broader audience.
So, maybe a little bit more focus on wrestling, but the soapy storylines will always be there.

People like to pretend it's one person's fault. Can't wait for the "Well HHH has always been terrible in charge" in about 20 years time.

he was rubbing it in dolph's face that his latest arm candy just got hitched by pointing out another couple in the audience. that's not something a face would do.
fuck you dunn
fuck you dunn
i always thought he just gave that line that to the press as a way not to shit on the main product
press: hey hunter why does raw suck ass yet nxt is booked so well just book the main roster product the same way
hhh: well, you see... different audiences. yeah. what works on nxt wouldn't necessarily work on the main roster. yes... that's why.
nxt isn't magic. it's basic ass wrestling booking. of course it would work well on the main roster. damn near anything would work better than the booking of the main roster. wcw 2000 would work better.

The problem I'm trying to point out is that fans being so intensely interested in whatever they perceive as a shoot means that pretty much every thing that happens gets attributed to made-up backstage politics (which could or could not be true, the point is that there's very little basis to say in connection with individual events, e.g. Rusev loses to Ryback on Monday Night Raw). Wrestling is fake, just assume everything is a work unless there's a specific reason to believe otherwise.
Rusev losing to Ryback, a face wrestler who is basically the face analogue of Rusev himself down to their positions on the overall card doesn't mean Vince/Stephanie/HHH/Dunn had a secret Cabal meeting where they decided to bury him in retribution for proposing to a girlfriend he already was living together with.
All I'm saying is most of these Kevin Dunn explanations for basically everything seem like conspiracy theories. Maybe he sort of sucks at writing or scripting events, but a lot of the complaints come off like "[my favorite wrestler] isn't being pushed to the title because Kevin Dunn is mad that he ate the last donut in the break room." Dudes really wanna believe they have the pulse on the shoot politics of this fake as fuck by nature shit.
