Should they have waited?

[Solid Snake]

The whole Kevin Owens storyline felt pointless since he returned after only missing one week.

Like if they really wanted it to stick, he should have been gone longer and continued to play a role on social media down talking RAW and WWE to really sell it like he did quit. It could have made for a really solid story but of course, they don't think long term and rush something else.

Do you think they should have waited? How would you have booked this?

"A solid story".. It's great that you're so optimistic about their storytelling ability.. but WWE isn't very creative anymore.

Maybe I should have emphasized "could have". They did the KO and Jericho story good in my opinion but everything else for the burly bear has almost entirely sucked.

Here's the problem, WWE doesn't know how to do long term anymore. Kevin is a talent that gets people to watch every week and they can't lose a big guys like that. He might not be a top star right now but he is damn sure entertaining. That is what they need right now. If it was me I would have kept him off TV for a while and waited for the right time/storyline to bring him back.

Not surprised tbh.

Remember when CM Punk won the WWE Title and stole it from WWE. So important that they had to find another champion, screw over Rey Mysterio, etc, only for Punk to return 2 weeks later?

I've lost trust in WWE storytelling a long time ago. They don't plan past 2-3 weeks.

You guys hear about Velveteen Dream doing some EVOLVE shows? Could've easily called up Gabe and had him book Kevin for a couple shows, too.

But nah, they had him quit to return the very next week to attack Bob Lashley, of all people.

@Solid Snake Did you create this thread simply to post
that photo of Owens with his cat using him as a chair?

No but I specifically used that picture because it was a topic about Kevin Owens :kitler:

Jericho and Owen's was fantastic. Maybe the last great story they did.. but they haven't done any great storytelling in 2018.. They could've done a better job if they fire all the monkey's and hire some real writers with creativity.

Bingo!

I just wanna know Owens motives. He quit. Then he returned the next week. Then he attacked Bobby Lashley. Wtf.

The reason WWE doesn't do long term booking anymore is because their fans are impatient ass holes. 'We want heel Ambrose Noooow!!!' holy shit let them tell a story jeeze.

But yeah, Owens quiting was pointless. It just makes him look like a brat. Which is a good thing since he is a heel. He lost to Seth and he took he's ball home, then the next week he wants to play with the other kids again. Classic heel. Or classic kid that is just asking to get bullied.

Owens got so frustrated that he did something based on he's emotions. Now he has gone back on he's word cuz he is a dick. So I guess there is a point.

The only one to get over as a brat and coward was the Miz. This doesn't work for everyone and I am not sure why they keep trying it.
Like the whole "heel guy is a coward, complainer, quicker" move. Just let it go.

"I Quit" storylines are always lame.

A waste of time pantomime.

It's not cowardly though. It's Owens being Owens. KO quitting then returning the next week is a KO thing to do.

Also I don't think Miz is the only one. Triple H's entire character was him wanting people to think he is a Viking warrior but really he is a coward.
