Does the wwe start fueds too fast?

[Montana]

What i mean, as soon as a fued starts, theres sooo much hatred there isnt any room for the tension to build. Example. JBL vs Jericho. JBL cost Jericho the title and now JBL hates Jericho with a passion, and jericho hasnt really done anything yet. The fued is going to go no where.

Secondly, CM Punk vs Chavo. Chavo shows up, and theres already a heated fued, right off the bat.

Now, a better example of a fued that has been built up is HBK vs Orton. First it was DX vs Rated RKO, which lead to Orton kicking HBK in the head taking him out for months, HBK returns only to be jobbed out to the newly crowned champ, BUT the fued has been built up in a way, i wouldnt mind seeing HBK vs Orton again. It works in my opinion because there is a history. MVP and Matt Hardy is also another great example of a well built fued.

Problem is the wwe can't do this consistly. Is this a problem to anyone else? Because the wwe does a ton of rematches a la Hardy vs Umaga, but it just seems like it means less each time, when it should mean more the following time.

 

[Gards Jr.]

That is quite true because the JBL and Jericho fued. What Jericho is the only one that shpould hate JBL not Vice Versa. Jericho interupts JBL leading to as match at the royale rumble and the WWE has seemed to do this all the tie so yeah I agree with you

well y2j said jbl wasnt a wrestling god anymore... i think thats what set him off... i agree with u tho... jbl almost hanging jericho was to soon... idk about the cm punk vs chavo feud... i havent watched ecw much

Yeah I have to agree. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there really isn't time to let all the feuds be built up properly. And if you treat all the feuds the same way and make them go on for three months, WWE will become very stale. That's why they have no choice but to prioritize. The more important feuds will be built up slower while the others will have to be squeezed to fit a certain timeframe.

I meant more so in general in the past year or two, but those were two examples. It is kinda hard to remember how each fued starts though.

This usually happens this time off the year. WWE doesn't want to burn the WM feuds, that start heating up after No Way Out, so they create mini feuds going into the Rumble and NWO, and then end it quickly to start the mania feuds

 

[Charismatic Edge]

Great thread. It's pretty obvious they rush everything to cash in. Moreover, they don't sustain feuds very well. They need to have a "teaser" match, if you will, seperate them and resume at a more profitable ppv.

Montana,
I think you make some excellent points and I agree with you. Especially about Jeff Hardy and Umaga. Those two have put on some great matches over the past year, but it really is starting to get old. That cage match was great, but it just didn't have the effect that it could of because we've seen that match 50 times over the last 6-12 months. I think the time has come to move Umaga to Smackdown. I really like him and think he's great in the ring for his size, but at some point you have to realize that he's done everything he can do on Raw. I'm pretty sure he's had a match with every member of the Raw roster and it's starting to get old.

I think the problem that the WWE runs into a lot is two things. First of all in todays day and age of wrestling people have very short attention spans. If someone pisses someone off then the fans want to see them in the ring that night and that isn't always the way it should be. A lot of people were pissed that Hardy never fought MVP for the US title, but in the long run if Matt hadn't gotten hurt that would've ended up being a great match and all the build up would have been great. I know a lot of people thought that they should have wrestled for that belt like a month into that feud. I agree though that was the best built feud of the year and I wish we'd see more like that one.

The second reason is that they don't want to end up with Batista type things. If you look at Batista this year he was in the ME of every SD! title feud and a lot of people were pissed that they continually pushed him to that. He got like 30 rematches and I think that was mostly attributed to poor booking and as Batista continually got rematches it seemed dry and old. I think that this definitely is an issue, but as CMS said probably following the rumble we're going to get some nice long feuds leading to WM and they will be booked very. But as nice as that will be I think they need to work at booking that well year round. Not working as hard at booking great feuds during the summer and some other off times of the year, but booking year round the way they book WM.

 

[Switchy]

I'm agreeing with both CMS and montana on this one. I agree completely with CMS saying that feuds are usually rushed this time of the year because they need to make the WM feuds as good as possible and I do agree with Montana that over the past year WWE has had a slight tendency to do so but I don't think they've done it on a regular basis until now which is basically explained by CMS.

 

[hbkfan!]

No I don't think they start the fends to fast.

^Have you ever heard of elaboration? Such as I don't think they start feuds too fast because booking is a bunch of geniuses and a perfect example of this would be..... But, whatever I like this thread, I think it's a very good question.
