Its one of the worst things to ever happen to the industry.

Also, I know Nash can do better. CM comes off witty , and funny, and sometimes insiderish, and he doesn't seem bafoonish. Nash's "don't ask me to stop being a man" line to Hunter was forced, and sounded so bad

Del Rio doesn't know the name of his cars. WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT!

If our current champ doesn't know the name of cars, WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT?

WWE needs to put the belt back on Cena ASAP! That dude knows the names of SO MANY CARS!

It seemed like the "what?" thing had died down these last few months. It would still crop up in certain cities or when a wrestler needs a 5 second break between sentences. But I'm afraid R-Truth pretty much rejuvenated it. If we're lucky they'll only say it for his segments. although after monday's promo, it looks like we're going to be seeing a "what?" renaissance, sadly.
 
The next couple of weeks Im actually looking forward to how Orton and Henry feud. Where it may get bad and someone may be out of commisssion for a while?

Any person half-adept at the mic can stuff the "what" back on the audience easily by giving a promo with a good cadence without predictable pauses. If they don't do it, they've earned the whats.

Hasn't anyone tried the Wayne's World "A Sphincter Says What?" line or something similar? I would think, that at the very least, you can mess around with the crowd.

They could take drastic measures and just have all the mic work in the back, preferably in front of a blue screen with WWF logos covering it, and muffle out the "whats?".
Stop doing promos in the ring. As crazy as that sounds, part of the reason in-ring promos are great is the audience reaction but I'm to the point where I'd gladly sacrifice that if it meant never hearing "what?" again.

I stopped watching wresting pretty much throughout the 00's but I would occasionally flip to it only to discover this godawful "what?" crap. Which made it a lot easier to stay away.

It's funny, I never really got the hate for vuvuzelas. I would take an arena full of vuvuzelas for a Justin Gabriel match over "what!?" anyday.

(HOWL)

Wolfpack is back causin' mass destruction
Guess who's here? The Bad Boys of wreslin'
Testin' competition when the war does their mission
Got no mercy
See them race like a streak
If you don't know, you better find out the Wolfpac
Here to prove a point
Number 1, just believe that you don't want to mess with them
I'll be your forward gun
Come in the ring, and then you're never walkin' out again

Don't turn your back on the Wolfpack
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpack
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpack
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpack
You might wind up in a body bag

W:L ratio never matters. An exceptionally gifted wrestler can lose every match in the WWE for a year and still be either loved, hated, cheered or booed. He can still be relevant - it's all in the character.

Come on guys, looking at the past tells you enough - these losses mean nothing.

Also: Ratings are antiquated and dead. The only metric that matters is if people know of it or not - not where they saw it and when. Watching TV on a schedule is dying.

Ultimate example of this.
 
So on PWInsider.com they have a 'premium' article saying something about Jeff Hardy having heat and frustrations heading into tomorrows TV taping. I wonder what that's all about, TNA seems on the road to going under. This is the last week too that college football won't be on Thursday's, next Thursday is opening week, so I wonder how many people tune in to TNA next week.

It depends on whether or not the guy is established. Jericho can lose all the time now because everyone knows Jericho is good and nothing is going to change that. by the same logic if your initial impression of a guy is that he is a loser then its going to be really hard to overcome that.

Well it all depends too on the payoff of a feud, thats when wins or losses really matter, or building up a guy that is new.

If people are paying to see something and see the face finally take out the evil heel, then they're going to be pissed if it doesn't happen. Or hell, pissed if it's not even done right. Take a look at how weak Sting came off at Starrcade 1997 even though he "won." It basically was the beginning of the end for WCW. Can you imagine if Steve Austin lost clean at Wrestlemania 14? Or Hogan lost to Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3?

WWE has this problem already going into next year's Wrestlemania. Everyone knows the majority of new people who will flock to buy this may be former fans or whatever else, to see The Rock beat John Cena. If John Cena wins, what's going to happen? You're going to piss everyone off that bought it.

A lot of things don't seem to matter though. Being pissed over guys like Swagger, Ziggler, Kofi, and the rest of the generic crew getting wins or losses really doesn't matter. If the feud isn't over, if the match isn't over, then wins and losses really don't matter. If it IS over, then the right guy needs to win for the payoff. There's very few matchups and feuds that are over nowadays though. Like TNA for example, nothing is really hot, the titles have no meaning, and they just pass from one guy to another so what does it matter who wins? It was important though for Punk to beat Cena twice on PPV's the way he's being built up.
