If Vince McMahon could snap his fingers and make ½ the universe disappear – oops, sorry. Wrong demigod. If Vince could make it so that kayfabe still existed, that no backstage news would be made public, no spoilers, and (example) fans would have been freaked out times 1,000 when The Undertaker’s WM streak ended – do you think he would??
Absolutely. He made it clear over the years that he prefers to release information on WWE and does not like it when things that he wants kept secret are reported. To be fair, a lot of people in a lot of businesses (and politics) feel the same way that he does.
I know you’re biggest criticism of booking Brock Lesnar is that nobody is booked to beat him and truly get the rub, and I think you’d agree that time has passed to get the most bang out of someone beating Brock.(The Best time was 2014-16) So my question is, hindsight being 20/20, how would you have booked someone to get the big W over Brock? Who would have it been and when?
To answer this you have to look at it the way that Vince McMahon does, since it’s his promotion. So, I would have booked Roman Reigns to get the rub….after losing a match to Brock first. It could have elevated him. The same with Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe. But alas, Vince doesn’t agree with me.
For a lightweight like Johnny Gargano would moving from NXT to 205 be considered "called up" or is that a demotion?
I would consider it a backward move. He is a top guy in an over brand right now. They can sell out big buildings. 205 Live can’t. It’s a shame too because they have a ton of talent on that brand.
When wrestlers are called up from NXT do they get a raise immediately or have to wait til their contract expires?
It depends on the wrestler but generally the company takes care of the talents.
It's inevitable that some day we will get the WWE Horsewomen vs. MMA Horsewomen match, but currently you have Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler at opposite ends of the face/heel spectrum. Considering Ronda's star power and mainstream celebrity status, would it be viable to turn her heel in order to get them to a point where she could logically team up with Shayna? If a Ronda heel turn is in the cards, isn't the perfect time to do it during the build to a match vs. Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania? Or do you think they should keep Ronda a babyface for life, like they have done with Cena?
I could see Ronda turning some day. It could work really well. But with that said, just look at what we just saw with the Survivor Series. WWE has no problem booking heels and faces together when they have a “common cause”. They could do the same in a battle of the Horsewomen.
