when was the last true work?
I ask because I can't recall so I bring it to you true geniuses.
in the PG era (and by PG I mean really bad writing& creative not the lack of bad words) has there ever been a legit work that threw the majority of people for a loop? with everyone hollering that DB not in the main event is a work, that CM Punk taking his ball and going home is a work I'm asking if those people just have absolute blinders on to reality or if they honestly feel based on recent history that the top brass is capable of pulling off a work?

Everything is a work. When it's a shoot, it's a work.

It's pretty simple. Everything is a work, especially works, but also shoots are works. Except when shoots are not works and then they're shoots. Also works are not works when works are shoots.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Are you suggesting some of this stuff is pre-written and then played out in order to entertain an audience? Sounds a bit far fetched to me.

Seriously though, it depends on your definition of the majority of people. The majority of the population who's aware of wrestling? The majority of current and past WWE fans? The majority of current WWE fans? The majority of marks? Smarks?
I'd say it's probably been at least 10+ years though. |

I literally can't stop laughing at how funny this is but to clarify because I guess reading the first post was not worded correctly.. the % of people on here saying that WWE is swerving everyone with the DB not main eventing, Punk quitting is all planned out work and we are all going to be pleasantly surprised come mania when its DB winning the belt. I posed the question of...when is the last time the WWE actually pulled off something that elaborate and thoughtout that would make anyone think there was a .00000000004% chance it could be that |

The last work, in my opinion, was John Cena calling out The Rock in interviews and criticizing his post-wrestling career.

Seems to me that it's just instinct now to call a work. Better to erroneously call it a work and for it to turn out real than the other way round.

I would be so thrilled with it being a work, I'd be like "WOW THEY GET IT" and blown away, but I have no reason at all to believe it actually is. Because I would love to get worked... I would love to be worked as a mark, it's the whole point of wrestling.
Those calling work are people who like to feel as though they're on the "in" and are the smartest people in the room. There is no reason to believe that the Bryan/Punk and whatever else kind of stuff is a work, considering these are the same people that booked the Bryan/Orton feud only a few months ago. |

They have NEVER planned and effectively written and pulled off something that elaborate and there's almost NO reason to believe they're all of a sudden capable and are going to do it now. That's not even mentioning the Punk leaving WWE thing is also a work. I'd love it to be the case and they actually pull it off, but given their history, it's not very likely. |

I think the answer to this is Mark Henry's fake retirement. That was rumored to be legit, and then he suddenly appeared to announce it... and then he flattened Cena.
Also pretty much every time Cena is injured they're like "OMGZ HE WIL BE OUT FOR A HOLE YEAR" then he shows up a month later. |

I don't want to put words in others mouths, but if I'm not mistaken, it was my understanding that Heyman and #1-WWF-Fan were basically claiming (or hoping) this was the case, at least to some degree.
Again, that doesn't even include the folks I've seen claiming the Punk quitting WWE is also work and part of some kind of big master plan. |

My bad #1Fan. I usually agree with 99% of your posts. Perhaps I misunderstood or I'm getting some folks confused.
I know there were SOME folks who were pushing the idea that it was all some elaborate work planned out months ago. |

I definitely lean more toward the idea that they're in "damage control" now. I don't think they ever intended to have Daniel Bryan have a serious title run but they teased it so much that the crowds will take nothing less and now they're in a huge, fucked up situation where they need to give him the title before or at Mania or have something as big as a Cena heel turn to distract the crowd.
