Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

My biggest pet peeve with wrestling is people thinking heels can't fight heels, faces can't fight faces.

Faces can fight faces, but the crowd tends to be dead for heel vs heel matches.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

True "faces" and "heels" don't exist anymore because the crowd is full of jackasses who cheer for and boo who they want to.

If you hadn't watched in awhile and tuned into see Cesaro vs Barrett, you would think it's two faces against each other.

The crowd cheers who entertain them. Is that such a bad thing?

Doing what they want with some of their bull**** storylines that they shift on to us seems outdated.

I feel like if a heel entertains you, you should still boo him. Eventually, Barrett is going to be turned because of the cheers he is getting from the crowd and it will kill his character when he has to start playing to the crowd.

If the faces weren't such caricatures of a fictional Utopian life, then heels would be boo'd. Heels are the only interesting characters they have. Thats why they are always considering flipping the best heels face. If their faces refuse to have a dark side (read human side) then **** them. Its that simple.

He'll probably start tap dancing while singing Shirley Temple songs, but it's creepy so it's cool.

The heels just need to work harder. Heyman is a perfect example of someone that everyone loves, yet he still gets boo'd. Same with HHH. I don't put it all on the faces. Even Rock found a way to get boo'd eventually.

A heel that should be getting boo'd and isn't is just as bad IMO as a face who fails to get a reaction from the crowd.

Here's something that's working for Rusev, I really don't like him in general, he's been given the typical anti-American, my country is better gimmick... I just hate seeing that because it's been so overplayed, but you know what? I still don't like seeing him on my TV, and he's on my TV almost every time I watch WWE... thus if in the audience I would boo him.... to make a long story short, even though I hate the gimmick... he's technically over as a heel because I don't like him and want to see him.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Bottom line, they just don't know how to book faces. Every last one is extremely boring. The only reason Bryan got over is because hes such a great wrestler, he doesn't even have a gimmick other than screaming yes.

[StevenSD]

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Eh, to me his gimmick is just being a great wrestler.... he pulls it off well.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

It takes something special to push them both...

But Hart/Austin is a different realm, and it's hard for me to get that comparison. Yes both were hot, but at the time Austin was heel and Hart was face, then the double turn. In this scenario, Cesaro has been doing nothing but heel tactics as well as Barret, yes they get great crowd reactions, but the story is essentially heel vs heel.

So how does Kurt Angle vs Triple H grab you?

This man gets it.

We can also add early Punk/Hardy, Steamboat/Savage WM3 and plenty more to the list.

Good psychology and good matches get both wrestlers over. WWE needs to go back to it's cutthroat survival of the fittest attitude backstage. I don't give a **** if everyone is friends behind the scenes. Make the product the best it can be, by any means necessary.

If they're good enough to hold their spot/want to move up, neither of them will lose momentum. That's like saying why bring in a legitimate quarterback when you have a decent starting QB already. If these guys aren't pushing each other, why should I care about them?

I agree to a point. But it's about timing. I mean, hell, Cesaro lost last night. He's fine. But I don't think the timing on a Cesaro/Barrett thing is quite right.
