Re: WWE Off-Topic

Oh don't even get me started on production issues.

No, go on.

I love these debates/arguments because it gives me a reason to watch some old **** on The Network.

I need to hear more about how one of the finest live television productions sucks because they cut production costs and eliminated fireworks and used the same set for everything with different lighting for different shows. It's something I don't think gets talked about enough.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

I been saying for a long time that the main problem with WWE is that it's too formulaic. Nothing ever feels special or makes you jump out of you seat anymore. It's the same thing every show.

Sure, they sprinkle in some cool stuff here and there. But come on. We are talking about a company who has been trying for over four years to get Roman over and then they turn their biggest face heel to keep trying. The lengths they are going to get Roman over are legendary. And it will never work. Ever.

Matt Hardy has completed his live event dates and has retired. I’m guessing he’s going to take a couple months or so off to be with his family and then start working backstage in production, which he was doing while still doing the house shows.

I don't know, I think it's a pretty solid reference by them. It's not hilarious or anything, but it's maybe "heh" level. It's also not overly snarky and was posted early enough that they weren't way late on making the reference.

The replies to it though...geez, people are stupid.

A big cage with a ceiling? Sounds familiar.

Man, he should have been able to do so much more. Most of the original Broken stuff wasn't even about in-ring, but of course WWE put him on the road and put zero effort and creative energy behind that character. Cuz that's how they do.

The Broken stuff was screwed from the beginning with the legal aspect - nobody wanted to see regular old Matt Hardy in 2017. Then when they can finally do it, yeah...90% of the whole thing that people liked from TNA was pre-taped crazy crap. They dropped the ball on that, no doubt.

Maybe he's had issues for a while and that contributed to them going half-assed on it. Not that they would've gone main event or anything, but bringing back an actual former WWE name that had a lot of buzz? And pairing him with Wyatt, who even with the dumb stuff had always been consistently on TV? Doesn't make sense to drop them off the way they did unless he's been dealing with things for a bit.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

WWE could do things differently and they did when they were getting their assed kicked by WCW Monday nights. Vince and company made changes to a edgier product. They won the war and Vince went back to his comfort zone. WWE just got a huge new tv deal so as much as we complain about how boring the product is and it is people still watch every week, go the live shows etc.

This seems like the type of thing that would make Vince's head explode. Goddamnit why didn't anyone tell me another company used a red cage??? Tear it down and start over

Overall, a disappointing return for Matt in WWE. They really should've ponied up the money to bring the Broken character in from the jump. They could've gone back to the Team Extreme nostalgia bit down the road. When they finally went with the Woken gimmick, it never really clicked and there's reasons posted here as to why that was.

Oh well, I'm glad for Matt that he did make it back to WWE so he could earn a nice wage for his family, and looks like he'll be set up with a job backstage, and that'll be good for him.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

If Jeff is still gonna be competing, couldn't they at least have Matt as his manager?

Nah, because Jeff plans on dying tonight.
