It's ironically what Dutch said as well, in his strippers example, give the audience a wide variety of characters and gimnicks they can embrace or relate to.

When it came to hhh holding the belt forever, it not only killed the momentum of the newer wrestlers. It also made other top performers look like jobbers. Finally, when the belt did get into other folks hands, it didn’t matter.
@jasonkraatz95742 жыл бұрын
The thing is HHH should have dropped the title more to newcomers than already established stars. He was a great heel that you’d always want to see get his tail kicked but he did seem like the champ that never went away. I see Hunter tried to carry himself like Flair but he lacked charisma as a heel. He was boring. As a baby face (which folks say that’s how he is in real life) he was hilarious and cutting edge.

I used to love WWE but cannot stand it now. Why? 1. The ridiculous obligatory intro to the show, somebody comes out and tries to remember all the scripted words to a dumb monologue. On every show... RAW or Smackdown no difference. And invariably anywhere from 1 to 5 characters interrupt and run out to give their rehearsed scripted bullshit, all intended to excite us enough to buy tickets to XXXX Pay-Per-View that is coming up. 2. The stupid characters! All scripted! All gimmicks conceived by 'talent'! Constume part of the gimmick all scripted, artificial! 3. They promote the hell out of the next supposed great talent that is coming in for months before the debut, and it's like we're expected to believe that this is the next Harley Race, Bruno Sammartino etc... 4. This so-called new great talent then goes undefeated! For months until A) WWE realizes the gimmick doesn't work or B) It's working too well and might undermine HHH-Cena-Stephanie etc... in either case they have to deep 6 this latest waste of time and promos and it's onto the next schmuck. 5. And Eg: Bray Wyatt... look at all the stupid character and gimmick changes they did with that guy trying to interest the fans. I'm pretty damn sure that if Bray Wyatt (his real name-Wyndham Rotunda) had been allowed to dress-speak-wrestle without script, he'd'a been pretty darn good! They have got to get back to the day when a wrestler could buy their own damn costume, use whatever name they choose, and drop the idiotic gimmicks and scripted dialogue. We need originality!!

What he said about characters is so true. I started watching wrestling (Raw & Nitro) in 1997 & there was so many unique individuals. They weren’t just average Joes’ going through the moves every week. The top faces were over as fuck & the heels were horrible sons of bitches in all the right ways. One storyline could be dark as fuck & on the same show another storyline could have you howling with laughter. But it was the characters at the heart of it all. Throughout the late 90s/early 00s words can’t describe how important those 2 hours were on a Monday night to a whole generation. I stopped watching around late 04/early 05 as I thought it was getting stale. I dropped back into Smackdown in 07/08 as I got told it was pretty good and it was. I stopped watching completely in late 08. I’ve seen clips of WWE since then & just through the clips I can see what a woke, boring shit show the whole thing has become. It’s the get-along gang in that locker room (besides Brock Lesnar). Taker was 💯when he said it was soft. No one has the balls to go and push the envelope with their characters and get the audience to stand up in amazement as Dutch says. It’s a sad state but I hope Triple H gets to make the necessary changes.

Much more entertaining. No comedy, or goofy long winded promos. Always a possibility of a heel/ face turn. The fact that the heel almost always wins, makes me root more for the face, and it generates anticipation that the "good guy" could possibly win, but usually gets jumped on by a group.
