So many wrestlers and people in the business refer to Jeff Jarrett as a "great worker" and "great guy" but I see a guy who extorted money from Vince McMahon on his way out of WWE in 1999 and a guy who hooked up with and later married his co-worker's wife (I don't care what the scenario - I think it's wrong in any case). How can so many wrestling people try to say this guy is such a great guy?
You are seeing some things that aren't there. For one thing, Jarrett didn't extort Vince. WWE let his contract expire the day before a PPV while Jarrett was the Intercontinental Champion. Jarrett was on his way to WCW. If he was a skunk, he could have left with the title. He didn't. Instead, he worked the show, lost to a woman (well, Chyna anyway) and used the leverage he had to get the money that would be owed to him in bonuses over the next several months paid to him when he left the company. It was a rare case of a wrestler having the leverage instead of WWE and he used it. I say good for him. As for him marrying Karen Angle, Kurt and Karen had split up and gone their separate ways. Kurt and Jeff weren't best pals in high school so "bros before hos" doesn't apply here (and frankly if most guys are honest doesn't even apply in high school either). He did nothing wrong in either case and is a good guy. That is why people say he is.
I've always thought that a stable was better if it was full of Heels rather than Faces. DX was the closest thing to a good Face stable, but I think they're more "anti-establishment" (obviously) than Faces. If you could build a stable of 3-4 Superstars, Faces only, of the current active wrestlers who would you pick and who would be in charge, if anyone?
I wouldn't. I agree with you, stables are about heels banding together to wreak havoc. Faces are supposed to be good guys and don't need to use those tactics. Plus, any top stable in WWE would need John Cena in it and as we have learned over and over, he doesn't need anyone's help to take out a group of heels.
Is Daniel Bryan getting a push now or is he being beat down weekly for some other reason? After seeing him at a couple of shows (both Live and house), I would say he has “it”. It just seems that no one knows what to do with him.
I have given up on trying to figure out what they are doing with Bryan. I just can't get a bead on what their thought process is with him.
I think I've figured out why Kevin Nash has fumbled through his promos and has failed to get over. He seems to be having an identity crisis. He's playing his Diesel character instead of the Big Sexy character of WCW. I believe that in WCW, Nash played an extension of himself-a smarta**, yet likable guy. Therefore, his promos were more natural and believable. Agree?
I really don't agree. I think he is still trying to be inside and cool, it's just that he's older now and what was cool almost 20 years ago isn't today.
How's this for a scenario. CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio is the main event for WrestleMania but just as the introductions are being made in the ring, Daniel Bryan cashes in money in the bank and we get CM Punk Vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title.
It's terrible. The one PPV you don't mess with the announced matches for is Mania. Plus, Bryan can only demand a shot at the Smackdown Title, not the WWE belt. And for the record, the scenario I want to see is Punk vs. Chris Jericho.
