On the Summerslam go home Raw Bray Wyatt poured "blood" on Finn Balor, but within seconds they ruined what was a pretty good shot with Michael Coles stupid "acidic liquid" line. Yes I get WWE is PG and has sponsors to answer to, but why open yourself up to these problems. WWE have even darkened down the colour so its now more brown (in replay videos on wwe.com at least). Are WWE now saying its not okay to pour blood over someone, but fine to pour acid over someone?
I don’t see any issue. It doesn’t matter to be if it’s blood or acid. It’s the act that is important. This is a non-issue to me.
What do you think is the most successful indy ever? My vote is CZW. They have run monthly since 1999 I believe and have never had a TV deal to help them.
In the days before nationalization there were a lot of very successful territories, which could be called indies. To me, it comes down to the one that made the most money. Since I don’t have access to all of their books,
Does the WWE have any plans to add more Takeovers?
Not that they have announced at this time. HHH has been very careful to not oversaturate the brand and I think he will be very careful to err on the side of caution with the brand.
Heels are booked as cowards and cheats. In order to get heat on them quickly I assume. However, one of the best types of heels is the typical super just scary heel. Consider Max Baer in Cinderella Man. He was a portrayed Jerk but great in the Ring. You cheered for Cinderella man because you cheer for underdogs. Rey Mysterio. Watching stronger heels with better dialog would increase my interest. Did I miss where being a complete jerk made you a face?
Heels can be booked that way, for sure. Personally, I prefer heels like Ric Flair. He wasn’t really a coward, he pretended to be one in order to sucker in his opponent and hurt him. I never saw the movie you mention but even if you look back to Steve Austin, he turned face because his work as a heel got people cheering. Same with The Rock. So it all depends on the situation. Sometimes what you call a jerk is entertaining to people and when it is, people will cheer for that person.
All the talk lately about undertaker going into the HOF and whether or not he uses the taker persona and breaks kayfabe, I don't believe I've seen this question yet. Who do you feel should be inducted into the hall, Undertaker or Mark Calloway? I can see and make pretty good arguments for either induction. As always guys, great work by your team, keep it up for many years to come.
It’s the WWE Hall Of Fame and the character of The Undertaker is the guy everyone knows. Calaway is not like Scott Hall or Kevin Nash. He never had a big run under his real name. So to me, it’s an easy call, he goes in as The Undertaker.
