So Eric Bischoff said it was like taking candy from a baby and that the 10% were jumping ahead of themselves when they didn't give Bobby Roode the TNA belt after building him up as a huge babyface. See, their plan all along was to turn him heel out of nowhere because it makes sooooooooo much sense. Don't you feel stupid now? Isn't Uncle Eric the messiah?
Yes, I do feel stupid now. That often happens when I listen to the words and ideas of Eric Bischoff. If he wants me to get on board with his brilliance he will finally do a show where he puts his cash cow Scott Baio in the role we he have all been waiting for "Chachi In Charge At 50". That screams money.
Had the 'walkout' angle dragged on longer, how soon would it have been before you guys started calling the Christian/Rhodes/Ziggler/Swagger/Otunga/et al faction 'The Union'?
If anyone was going to take that name it would be those guys since Vince McMahon hates unions and he would want to destroy anyone who was part of one. Given the way those guys, with the possible exception of Christian, have been pushed they would have been the perfect grist for the union mill.
Is TNA using paid models in their audience? There is always a group of girls in the front row and recently scattered around that are always there. I mean I can see having regulars at these tapings since its at universal studios but who the hell wears cocktail dresses to a wrestling show?
TNA definitely makes sure they have good looking people in the right seats whenever possible. I don't have a problem with that. Why not show good looking people in your audience? They are trying to sell their product after all.
I know most of the bad stuff we see on RAW each week all comes down to Vince McMahon and his bad ideas and sense of humor, but there must be someone else in that company that sees the mistakes he is making. I find it hard to believe that no one can convince him to do things differently. Are people just too scared to say anything to him? What about Stephanie? Does she have the same warped sense of humor Vince does, or is she scared of him too? Surely someone in creative must read the net. Maybe they don’t want to admit it, but the web sites are all in agreement about how bad RAW has become, what with the horrible commentary and the bad booking. So someone in that company must be aware of what is being said. So why is nothing being done?
There are definitely people in the company that know what is being presented to the fans is garbage but they also know that Vince's vision is what the product will be and fighting with him on it leads to bad things for the person standing up for quality and sanity. If it were me, I would rather tell him something sucks and face his ire or be fired than be a party to garbage. To me, if I can't be proud of what I am doing and I would rather not do it. There are definitely people that have felt that way and left WWE. Unfortunately, those that stay behind just write to pop Vince and that leads to the dreck that we too often get on Raw.
I would think that John Cena would be able to put in his two cents about his booking and can speak up when things don’t make sense, so why doesn’t he? He must realize him beating Miz and Truth last night was bad for Survivor Series. Same thing goes for Punk; I would think he would definitely speak up over that goofiness we saw last night. I can’t imagine he is happy at what has been done to his character. It’s sad when the best thing about the show was puppets!!
We don't know how much they say to the boss but again at the end of the day it's Vince's party and if those guys want to be in a good spot, they have to play by Vince's rules. Sad, but true. Very sad. In Punk's case, he has stood up. He was ready to leave because of how bad things were. Then he got the brief period of booking sanity and re-signed. In Cena's case, he is loyal to a fault to Vince. Whatever Vince wants, he does.
