At this point in time, do you think that there is any better “talker†in wrestling (sports entertainment) then Bray Wyatt?
He's great, he really is. He and Paul Heyman are my two favorites right now.
It really bothers me when the announcers take the somber tone every time something despicable is happening in the ring. I hear them in their monotone quiet voices saying "Wow. I can't believe what I'm seeing." I remember the good old days with JR yelling at the top of his lungs to stop whatever the hell was going on. That got me into what was happening...not this hushed, whispering that happens every time now. Is this supposed to make it more "realistic" for the viewer? I don't like it.
Both styles can be effective. Yep, they are going for realism.
I wish them all the best, but feel like Jarrett picked a bad time to launch a new promotion.....especially since WWE seems to have gotten its act together of late. Perhaps if Vince had stuck to the original Mania plans there would have been enough of a backlash to allow a new player to steal some fans away, but I just don't see much room for success competing with TNA, ROH and countless indie groups for the same audience. Do you think GFW can be successful?
I have no idea until I learn more about what the business model is, who would be working there, what they exposure will be, etc. Right now, we only know the very basic aspects of the company. It's too soon to say what its future holds.
I have to admit WWE has been doing some really good things lately. Finally putting the belt on Daniel Bryan, building The Shield and The Wyatts, Cesaro, but for everything they do right they still refuse to stop completely ignoring logic and booking like it's still the 1980's. Two prime examples would be Cesaro losing to RVD to insure the tired and boring heel vs face match in the intercontinental tournament and the end of Raw The Wyatt's vs Cena. Why would the referee call for the bell in a 3 on 1 match just because Cena's pin attempt on Bray was broken up? I know I'm asking you to explain their logic but I'd enjoy reading your thoughts.
If they put Cesaro in the match with Barrett, he is the babyface and the crowd will go nuts for him. WWE knows that is coming and they want to tell their story first. I am find with that. The same with Cena, it's part of telling a story. Sometimes you have let it play out. When they product is prodding along I am less patient. But as you said, it's been good so I give them more leeway.
Everybody on the Internet told me "Roman Reigns is the future Face of the Company". But I don't see it until Cena is not under contract. He is on the top for a decade!
John Cena himself has said he wants guys to come along and take the pressure off him. Plus, he just turned 37 years old. I think just the opposite of you, I think WWE is trying to make more guys, finally, to put at the top with Cena.
