Shake Ups Planned for WWE

[-TJ-]

A draft that shocks the world but turns into shit after a few months. Jeff Hardy goes to ECW >.>

Another thing I would like to add to my rant about WWE is limiting movesets, No one is asking to see people 450 through 4 tables every show (even though that would be nice ). Giving wrestlers a bigger variety of their moveset to use would keep some matches fresher. It would give it more variety, and there would still be psychology and "telling a story" involved. Even if they just loosen things up for PPVs, so it isn't the same few tv spots and chinlocks with punches/kicks in between them.

^^^In order for superstars to have different movesets, that would require superstars to actually know how to wrestle, which is pretty scarce in WWE now-a-days. I mean come on the the guys that used to be wrestlers are now just show peices on TV.

Negatives
-Orton adopted that circular stomping and threw away most of his move set.
-I don't know where Edge went wrong, but he can't wrestle at all lately
-CM Punk has cinder blocks for feet, he also has duck feet, and basically screws up every match at one point or another
-Don't get me started on Batista, he was decent in 2005, but now is worse, the man has one match per month now...
-Triple H is the centerpiece, sure he has about 6 moves, that's it, only "wrestles" on PPVs.
-Taker is slowly losing gas, he is so bad he is getting his moves taken away from him.
-John Cena is the posterboy, when you are in that spot, you don't need to know how to wrestle, and trust me, he forgot how.

Here are the few positive wrestlers...
-Jericho
-HBK
-Morrison
-MVP
-Matt Hardy
-Jeff Hardy
-Kofi Kingston
-Shelton Benjamin

I know I forgot some guys some place or another, but that's the basic landscape. Notice most main eventers are in the negative section, that's why the match portion of ratings suck and the postive guys aren't in the proper position to get ratings.

You say CM Punk fucks up matches at one point or another but yet you fail to mention the Botchmaster himself Shelton Benjamin He fucks up way more then Punk

You're exactly right. A proper main event should be something like London and Kendrick against Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin. That match alone would be worth the $40 or whatever it is to buy a PPV. We should be seeing Morrison against Kofi main-eventing Smackdown, and the main event being an actual MAIN EVENT, not the standard 8 minute thing with three of those minutes being Taker's entrance and two of them being the fallout from a DQ ending. We should see MVP feud with someone like Carlito or Burke in a seriously pushed upper-midcard.

But no, instead we get:
-Triple H Vs. Randy Orton #35.
-Superstars who know they'll never lose their main event spot so they don't even TRY to do anything different, to a point where you can call half the match from memory of all previous ones. For example, much love for Kane, but come on. Kane knocks the opponent to the corner and hits two corner splashes or whatever those things are that he does. Opponent staggers away, Kane hits a side slam, cover, kickout. Kane goes to the top, flying clothesline. Kane gets up, raises arm, goes for chokeslam, opponent kicks him away. Two minutes later, a surprise grab to the opponent's throat, chokeslam, pin.
-Vickie calling a TLC match "the most extreme concept match ever to come to Smackdown," because a table, a ladder, and a chair are the pinacle of what Smackdown has been doing for the past couple of years.
-Cena feuding with JBL and he's not even on RAW for most of it, and on the final week back he doesn't even MENTION JBL, in favor of stealing Kennedy's feud and giving us Inspirational Speech #87.
-Talented superstars sent back to development because in the three feudless squash matches they participated in over a 6 month period on ECW they failed to achieve 80's Hogan level overness.
-A Divas division being... well, look at it. I know lots of derogatory synonyms but not enough to describe that.
-COMMENTATORS having more heat on them than the top heels. Seriously, Mike Adamle should face Triple H at One Night Stand, he's far more hated than Randy Orton and we'd finally have the 'shocking moment' in the match being something besides "OH MY GOD TRIPLE H KICKED OUT OF THE RKO!! THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE! *it replays from 7 different angles* I MEAN, IT HAPPENS TWICE A MATCH EVERY SINGLE TIME THESE TWO STEP INTO THE RING, BUT I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! HOW DID TRIPLE H KICK OUT OF THE RKO?! IT'S AN RKO, BUT TRIPLE H KICKED OUT OF IT!! BAH GAWD!! BAH GAWD, KING!! BAH GAWD!!!!!. *aneurysm*"

But hey, a draft to move the mostly absent lower card around fixes all that, right? :shifty:

 

[CT Styles]

yes I Have Figured It Out I Know What Is Going To Shake Up The Wwe!

The Wwe Are Going To Bring Big Daddy V Back And When He Steps In The Ring The Whole Place Shakes... Yes, That Must Be It.

You thought that would be really funny, didn't you?

 

[C4]

You thought that would be really funny, didn't you?

That wasn't even half as funny as CM Punk moving to RAW in the upcoming draft. Come up with something better next time DX... :wallbash:

 

[the dark knight]

Or maybe another Diva Search >_>

i laughed at that.

Maybe they are going to stop doing the same main event 3-4 ppvs in a row....

we've been having the same main event for 3 years.

anyway, it'll be either a draft or some angle like vince's death. or both....

i was happy to hear vince publicly admit that they're pissed off at the ratings.....

 

[OsamaHussian]

Some updates and stuff I found:

- We're hearing word that a major announcement is expected to be made at tonight's live RAW in Denver, Colorado. No word yet what it will be, but if you saw our posts over the weekend, you know WWE has some major angles and swerves planned for the fans over the next few weeks.

- Vince McMahon is said to be as open as ever right now about making major changes to the company in an effort to improve the product. One of the other changes, besides what we posted last week, is to feature more mid-card Superstars facing the main event guys.

I'm glad Vinnie is finally up to hearing other peoples ideas, and pushing younger talent to face the main-event stars

 

[Montana]

Midcarders vs main eventers???? Thats crazy


But this is good news. Hopefully they try and raise the bar with their matches, and their booking.

 

[OsamaHussian]

I'm sure the "major announcement" has to do either A.) Vince announcing the upcoming draft... B.) Vince announces [Insert Name Here] as the new GM of RAW... or C.) Both happen.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Midcarders vs main eventers????

This is EXACTLY what I want to see. But knowing the current main event we'll get "Job to Kofi? Like fucking HELL i'm jobbing to Kofi! My four moves are far more impressive than anything he can do! I RE-FUCKING-FUSE to job to Kofi, that talentless unover prick!" and all the talented superstars will be jobbed out to a mostly stagnant main event.

^ most likely and hopefully...

I think having Main eventers Vs Mid carders more will be good, then we could see some major upsets and pushes to superstars.

Im looking forward to it

 

[STDeeFree]

cm punk vs the undertaker....provided undertaker doesnt lose at one night stand. Honestly i would kill to actually see that match

But they shoudl start having actual number one contenders instead of john cena, triple h and orton trading the title. Like after orton wins it back have the next person step up and so on.....that would be good tv...or just let kelly-kelly keep doing what she does best

...Point is Midcard V ME matches are all about the RUB to get the younger guys over as a credible future contender.

It's not necessary for The ME-er to lose, let alone do a full-blown job.

If they had, for example, Kofi Vs Orton, they'd book the mid-carder strong so that you'd be left doubting your own preconceptions, thinking "surely kofi won't actually win this????" only for Orton to steal the victory somehow.

Result:

*Kofi looks strong and X-amount of people will wanna see Kofi ME again.

*Orton's run isn't de-railed.

Staying true to this formula, you can then pull a swerve once in a awhile and actually have the mid-carder win.



I look forward to this. I mean, with some of the smaller PPV you don't necessarily need a full-blown fued, as long as a contenders pecking order is in place in kayfaybe... And as long as the matches deliver (which, if you look at the current crop of upper-midcarders, is more than likely) then the fans won't be complaining. This will be a good way of getting these must-see match-ups (HBK v Morrison.... NOW!!!) whilst affording them the ring-time to actually put on a great match.
