Since it seems like WWE like to bring back legends and past superstars, what do you think about them creating some kind of Legends championship?
Honestly, I think legends are best used in smaller doses. If they made a division, it would be overexposure. Plus, I don’t think it’s great idea to have older people wrestling on a regular basis. The business is very physical and taking bumps over the years wears a body down. Taking them when a person is in their late forties or older isn’t a good idea to me.
I recently read in a Q & A with regards to Vince McMahon singing “Stand Back†is now being considered an infamous performance.  I just watched the video and found it to be hilarious. I'm just curious to know why so many say that this made Vince infamous. I would most definitely appreciate your answer.
Some things are so bad, they’re good. Other things are so bad, they’re bad. Then there are things, like that video, that are an assault on all of your senses. And not in a good way. To me, that was the video. Yep, I agree it was hilarious, and that is what makes it infamous. I don’t ever need to see Vince sing or dance again.
First, I have to say how happy I am that NXT is doing so well. It's my favorite wrestling show, ever (over raw and smackdown as well), but I have a huge concern and maybe it's just paranoia. I loved the idea of the ECW show, and realize now that Vince sabotaged that company in his own vision with the response of fan anticipation, whether intentionally or not. Do you see him doing the same to NXT once he finds out that it's going to do better business than the main rosters? Even if it is to make the main roster look 'better'?
Yep, he did it with ECW and also made WCW look really bad after buying it as well. The difference here is twofold. One, he owns NXT and it is something that was created by the company. Two, it’s Triple H’s baby and I think he would put up a pretty big fight if Vince came after the brand. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen, but at least there are a few variables that may prevent it.
Instead of just letting them sit around and waste away while guys are out injured (other than doing promotional vistits and rehab), why wouldn't WWE bring in the guys to help with creative? Of course you can't do it with everyone, but guys that have worked and "get" how to tell stories that resonate & connect with fans on a worldwide basis. Take advantage of having the knowledge & experience of a Bryan/Cesaro/Zayn and pair them up with one or a few writers.Â
Quite simply, that isn’t how the process works. The creative team takes it cues from Vince McMahon. Plus, they are a full time staff whose job it is to script TV. Wrestlers can give input, but the direction is set by Vince and plotted by his writers.
What a show NXT Takeover London was. It was as good wrestling show as you will see in 2015, plus it was nice watching it from the England was a respectable time. However my question concerns Dave's comments on the live blog moaning about the fans making 'soccer chants'. Why does this style of support annoy you? Is this any worse than the USA chants we constantly hear when any foreign heel makes a comment? I found NXT brilliant and it was great to hear unique chants and songs for the crowds favourite acts, it was not trying to take over the show in any form, to me it appeared as a crowd in a different country providing unique and interesting chants for their favourite talent. Surely that is what is important, the live fans having fun and cheering the talent?Â
Moaning? Really? It was called commentary son. Considering it’s a televised product, no it’s not all about the live fans. It’s about how the product comes across as well. Crowds are what they are, they pay for their ticket and can do what they want, within reason. But sorry, singing a pop song while Bayley is getting destroyed is not supporting her. To me, it showed a lack of understanding of the business. The crowd didn’t do that stuff doing the male Title match now did they? Nope. I am all for a lively crowd, but I prefer they react accordingly.
