How far in advance are the storylines typically planned out?

Seth can keep doing what he's doing, he just needs to be more like this man
Seth picked the worst mentor
Day of show with changes being added midway through promos even

Ziggler naturally comes to mind, but he never pulled it off. His character/in-ring work was so disconnected and it just sounded like he was bragging about how well he gets his ass kicked.

Ziggler could make it work if it felt like he was showing off on offense. But his bumping is always so over the top that it never feels like he's showing off.

During Seth's HHH feud, HBK comes out revealing himself to be Seth's new mentor.
"During my time under the game's tutelage, I feel like I couldn't be THE MAN. Much like how Hunter couldn't be the man, no matter how big of a Flair mark he was. So I found myself a better teacher... Why be taught by someone who was in another person's shadow the entire time when you can be taught by the figure that cast the shadow in the first place..?"

It's hard to call what WWE does now as "storylines." That implies some sort of planning out. Guys are just arbitrarily matched up against each other these days.

Assless chaps. And the invasion of Seth's privacy takes care of the Playgirl parallel.

Its cos for all his showing off and crazy offense he's still booked as a chickenshit weak ass heel who can't win on his own even with all that aforementioned stuff

I hope Rusev says fuck this to Lana and Hot Summer and shows up with a Japanese flag and a body pillow and just weebs it up. Fighting for Moe.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Its weird that he's playing the game shirtless. It also highlights ridiculous that exaggerated accent he uses as Rusev is since he still has an accent, its just not nearly as thick. Kind of like if Kevin Owens had a thick french accent or something.

He's fine on the mic, its just impossible to do a 10 minute in-ring monologue every single week and have it not be dumb.

Oh God, Verendus is working everybody into a shoot over at that Disney Infinity Splatoon ripoff thread. Can someone go and talk him down before the mods drop the hammer on his ass?

There are a lot of people in Splatoon threads with creepy anime girl avatars and talking about how "cute" all the characters are. Cross check them with Vita owners and you are guaranteed to get some hits. The profile exists for a reason.

I mean, he's not wrong about that (Nintendo was certianly targeting that market), but the rest of his posts in that thread are basically a spiral into madness. Dude is literally arguing with himself at this point.
Yeah but, you can't point that shit out.

Nintendo's slow descent into becoming just another Japanese kiddie porn factory is really one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. The Japanese console market is almost dead, and the dedicated handheld market will soon follow, and Nintendo, instead of turning their attention to the still-thriving western market, chose to double down on Japan and jump on the pander train instead, because apparently no one there had ever seen Other People's Money.

Is normal. Imagine how all the avid Subway fans felt when they realized what "Eat Fresh" really meant.
Super Mario 3D World is great though. Probably one of the best local multiplayer games ever. Anyway, gaming side is too serious all the time. Making light of everything is somewhat necessary.
Gonna do what I always do. Just balee.
I was kind of really hoping for a short Sting reign. I'd like to see a Sting vs. Joan Cena match. I think it could be really good. Seems like a perfect fit for Survivor Series or Royal Rumble. That would be even better.

I'm 100% down for old ass Sting to show John Cena the proper way to be a super face

It needs to be Surfer Sting vs. Cena.

Sting right now basically is Surfer Sting dressed like Crow Sting with a splash of Joker Sting. As Data West has often said, Sting cannot do anything OTHER than Surfer Sting when he has to talk, because he's such a ham. That's presumably why they had Dolph do Sting's lines when they did that promo on Raw prior to Wrestlemania, before they decided to just let Sting speak for himself.
I genuinely would enjoy Cena vs. Sting, though. Would be a good way to get Cena his 16th reign without affecting any younger guys, and assuming they want Roman vs. Cena at WM (and I have to imagine they do, at this point), it would give Cena something to do at Royal Rumble and explain why he's not in the match.

Surfer Sting/Joker Sting are better than Crow Sting. I don't see the problem.
He's right. Seth's the only heel in recent memory who is atop of the card and is doing all these top rope move, outside dives, and flippy indie moves. It's terrible. It garners no heat whatsoever.
Reminds me, that fucking awful superplex into Falcon Arrow spot. STOP IT!

I think I read Sting was Cena's favorite as a kid, and it would be a nice notch on his belt on his way to breaking Ric Flair's record, given the history between them.
Ask him about Joey Samoey.Met Vader and Scotty. Asked Scott about Hogan and he called him a "F'ing douchebag."
I've never understood the Hogan/Cena comparisons. Because John Cena IS Surfer Sting. Like the loud shouty promos, the know it all, the high energy body builder, he's as Sting as it gets. My only assumption is people didn't watch WCW before 1997.

Sting's high energy promos were a lot more natural and fun. He also didn't over come the odds, pretty regularly. And I don't recall fans ever turning on him outside of fans being into Vader during that series, but I don't recall them actually booing Stang.
Because the Sting character existed when the internet wasn't everywhere. If John Cena showed up against Ric Flair in 89, he wouldn't get any boos either.
