It really sucks that the top storyline on Raw is YET ANOTHER REHASH of "Heel authority figure abuses power to feud with rebellious babyface."

What exactly is the blowoff to Punk vs. Laurinaitis, writers? There is no St. Valentine's Day Massacre to be had this time around. If they end up CHARGING for Punk vs. Ace on PPV, they're more delusional than I thought.




This kinda made me pissed off when I was watching Raw

Laurinitis has been okay as GM. He has a good split between being hated and doing some solid stuff. But he has not been around long enough at all for me to have any real hatred for him or anything. Hell he is still just INTERIM GM for crying out loud. Why on earth should anyone care about anyone vs this authority figure? People loved Austin vs Vince because they knew who Vince was and it was mind boggling. They did amazing things and made you hate McMahon and love Austin. Here people love Punk and barely know this guy. Hell even Biscoff being the fairly flat heel gm made you want to see him get his teeth crushed in because he was Eric ****ing Bischoff and was this guy you grew to hate in WCW. Him trying to get Cena before getting fired was good because even though as a character he wasnt super awesome you still hated him. There's no emotion really for Laurinitis beyond Punk and Cena like to poke fun at him.

It's a little Russo-esque to be honest, insofar as what WWE thinks people already know about Johnny Ace prior to his on-screen role.

The more deeply-involved smarks have known about Laurinaitis and have been generally down on him for a long time, and now I think WWE is trying to move that smark hatred into all-around mark hatred.

But like you said, it's gone WAY too fast. He plays his character really well, actually, and I'm sure there is SOME good way to use him as a douchey on-screen middle management character if you must, but he's not Top Heel material.

Eh I think Laurinaitis does his job well. I know some casual wrestling fans who think he's hateable just because of his voice. I just don't think seeing "heel authority figure vs rebellious face" is something I want to see again for a while as the selling feud no matter how good the authority figure is.

ESPECIALLY when that's pretty much the only long running storyline on either show that isn't the slow build of turning Cena to the dark side. Random people saying I WANT A TITLE MATCH isn't a storyline. Wade Barrett getting the one up on Randy Orton is a decent match based feud but not a good storyline. All the storylines today are too shallow or something we've already seen-- which is a shame because just 5 months ago we had a storyline with all the potential in the world and they couldn't let it simmer cause "we've gotta have Punk vs Cena for Summerslam"

I think I am considered a smark simply by being a part of the IWC and I don't know anything about him besides the fact that he's a guy behind the scenes. I think they need at least another 6 months of this guy before they can pull the trigger on a story like this. I get that Punk needs an authority figure to feud with (and Vince vs Punk as Punk not being a Company guy with Alberto as Vince's lacky would have been amazing and should have been the way that went) Ace just isnt the guy yet.

I think if the needed Ace to step up right away they should have had the Anonymous GM be a dick to Punk and Punk wins a match to reveal who the GM is and it turns out to be Ace. It gives all that anonymous GM build some blowoff and he already has some good hatred behind him. You could even run it as liberating for him and him being an even bigger douche and heel and have him just do whatever he wants. I realize with this method they would have needed to give Ace some exposure ahead of time, but they honestly could have had Trips as head honcho and the Anon GM coexisting. In fact Ace coexisting with Trips as Anon GM (and have Trips not knowing that he is Anon GM) and conspiring against his back in front of his face would have been pretty ****ing awesome.

It was, but it was largely isolated to hating Bryan (and most NXT guys) and loving Miz, and otherwise being normal, until he interfered in that Lawler match.

Heck, there was a point on NXT where he was decked out in Miz AND Cena gear because he still supported them both. Cena even hugged him after he was fired at Survivor Series 2010. Hard to imagine today.

Also it occurs to me that this may be the result of fatigue on the part of the writers with the current characters. It seems like WWE is only at its best when dealing with someone new that NEEDS exposition and introduction

WE also have noted multiple times, almost every program Orton has been in since turning face hasn't been ABOUT him, but rather uses him as an unstoppable force for the heel to struggle and fail against. Which is strange to say the least.

The only feud hes had since turning face I thought had potential was him vs. Punk but they didn't really go anywhere with it beyond it being Punks justification for revenge. I felt like that mightve been a good opportunity to really write more about his character, but i guess in that situation how DO you book it in such a way that doesnt make Punk look like the face and Orton the heel?

Orton NEEDS to be a heel with his current character but I think theyre afraid of growing his character to be more facelike and messing up the appeal he has for a lot of the fans.

This is true. Without some sort of constant ROCK presence its extraordinarily difficult to use Rock/Cena to sell anything BUT Wrestlemania.

Orton has had good storyline potentials-- they just don't want him to have flaws so it's not interesting.

Like uh... against Christian, Christian beat Orton once because Orton got himself disqualified in a title match because Christian pissed him off. If they'd just run with it and had it as a sort of thing where Christian repeatedly abused Orton's violent/aggressive nature to make him slip up and lose, it would've been a really cool feud that would make Orton have to show an uncharacteristic amount of control to beat Christian. Doesn't even have to be "Orton gets himself DQed" every time-- could also be stuff like "Orton leaves himself open in a reckless assault and Christian capitalizes" or "Orton gets frustrated and gets Teddy Long annoyed at him so he doesn't just get tossed into a bunch of tittle matches."

Against Barrett it's the same thing. They're trying to sell it off as Barrett's getting in his head but then Orton keeps crushing so it doesn't really sell it.

I'm really shocked that they haven't given The Rock some sort of mouthpiece character to act as a Rock proxy when he's not around to interact with Cena to hype WM, although I can't really think of anyone who would work in that role. Rock is the "bad guy" in the feud, it would fit that Hollywood Rock persona.

I guess that would risk actually having crowds turn on Rocky though, when a central tenet of Cena's current angle is that the crowd loves The Rock when he does as little as humanly possible to reciprocate.

Yeah, the trick is who is even LEFT that the rock hasa direct FRIENDLY link to.

Christian is there, but he feuded with christian not long before he left and Trips is one of his archnemsises.

Maybe someone young who they can play off as idolizing the Rock, like the Miz-- but they burned that bridge last year so itd have to be someone else-- maybe Ryder? But thats a lot of pressure to put on someone as inexperienced as Ryder and all the other solid candidates, like Ziggler and Swagger are heels

Post regarding the purged Suicide League since it's sorta topical in here.

Bonus Q was who has more segments this week, Laurinaitis, Teddy

I picked Sheamus, Teddy
eaed picked Daniel Bryan, Laurinaitis
Jona picked Dolph Ziggler, Laurinaitis
dp picked Laurinaitis
GTM picked Laurinaitis
XIII may have picked FUNKHAUSER


Lopen you actually just CLINCHED the whole game due to SPOILERS no Bryan match this week SPOILERS


And since this is the last round, even if JONA beats you this round, hes still MUCH more than 3 points behind you.

The ONLY way you could have lost was if you went out and the two of them went on a run.

So congratulations, you should PM or IM me soon to sort out the prize.

That said I REALLY want to run some sort of contest for RUMBLE so be on the look out for it.

Another interesting topic is the one where we don't spend money on PPVs.

But the thing is, WWE's prices for PPVs are obscenely expensive, and three hours of entertainment is not worth $55. If they lowered the price, I'm sure many people would buy them. I personally only buy if I have people to split it, because my money could be spent on better things. If I, say, bought a new video game for only $5 more, I get MUCH more than three hours of entertainment.

PPVs over here only cost £15 and I think that is perfectly reasonable, (about $24) - and not all of them are actually PPV! Off the top of my head we got OtL, Night of Champions, MitB and Vengeance for free this year.


But yeah, 8~ hour videogames cost the same as a ~3 hour PPV in the US (right?) and that's odd to me.

The rumor is that they'll keep maybe half their PPVs as PPVs and put the rest on WWE Network as a way to entice people to subscribe.

I honestly think that should work out really well for WWE fans and it will help get WWE Network carried. It remains to be seen whether or not WWE has a large enough audience to SUSTAIN a network, but in the short term it's win/win.

You kinda answered your own question, in a way. A big part of it is so as not to compete with UFC for PPV dollars. UFC is much more mainstream, but not to KIDS.

That said, if there was ANY time to launch a strike against UFC PPVs and steal back some of those PPV dollars, 2012 is the time. UFC is stuck right now trying to balance keeping big fights on PPV while giving away more big fights for free than ever before on Fox/FX in an attempt to grow the sport, and on top of that they can't get both Brock and GSP healthy at the same time, and those are their two biggest PPV draws by leaps and bounds.

Which of these three things sells the most PPVs? No undercard, same price ($55) for all.

John Cena vs. The Rock
Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao
Jon Jones vs. Anderson Silva

I think that's the most lucrative UFC fight. Feels weird not having Lesnar but he doesn't have a truly compelling opponent to compare to the others unless Jones puts on weight, which is possible. Could be Silva vs. GSP I guess, but he's hurt.

Jon Jones isn't a huge PPV draw yet. He may be by the end of 2012 (and in fact he SHOULD be by the end of 2012).

Anderson Silva is the greatest MMA fighter of all-time, but his PPV buys aren't as spectacular as Brock and GSP because he doesn't speak English.

That would be a purist's dream match to be sure, but it's like saying "How many PPV buys would CM Punk vs. Shawn Michaels do?" There's a huge difference between being great and being a draw.

UFC is proving that even with real sports, what draws the most viewers is not the biggest matchup, but the best storyline. All the PPVs they do that have "heated rivals" (hint: it's a work) main-eventing against each other do better business than just flat out great fights with no manufactured animosity, unless GSP or Brock is involved.

Brock managed 1.6 million buys and that's still 800k below what Mayweather put up, that keeps impressing me because UFC 100 also had a GSP fight.

Mayweather/DLH was pretty much those two and Pacman/Mayweather can break that.

News on Orton

- As noted earlier, Randy Orton was injured at last night's SmackDown tapings in Indianapolis during the Falls Count Anywhere main event against Wade Barrett. Orton has been removed from this week's live events.

Word backstage was that Orton suffered some sort of back injury and it has to do with at least one of the discs in his back. Orton could miss up to 6 months of in-ring time, causing him to miss WrestleMania 28. An official update from WWE should be available soon.


Damn, I'm not much of an Orton fan, but you don't wanna see the guys get hurt. Sure theres that evil part of me that feels this is good timing for D-Bry, Wade and Christian(He should be back soon yes?). But unless your like Hogan, I dont really want to see you get hurt badly. HASHTAG FACE >_>

That said, if Rashad Evans wins his fight on UFC on Fox 2 to get the title shot against Jones, that's probably the UFC's biggest non-Brock/GSP 2012 PPV. Maybe even bigger than any Brock fight if he loses this Friday.

GSP vs. Nick Diaz is gonna be the biggest UFC PPV of 2012 if it manages to happen by the end of the year.

Wiki says Liddell vs Ortiz

Weird how Randy Couture doesn't seem to be much of a draw on his own.

EDIT:Biggest as in biggest moneymakers.

Randy Couture is like The Undertaker. No one really pays to see him, but everyone appreciates him being on a card they paid for.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao would crush anything WWE can put up. I don't like boxing, I don't watch boxing, I don't follow boxing, but I would probably watch that fight.
