Oh Mick.
I like Mick, I enjoyed his work over the years in WCW, ECW and of course WWE. But the guy is egotistical.
Why would he think WWE would randomly call him for his opinion? They have plenty of ex talent on the payroll who they can bounce creative ideas. Everything about that blurb comes down to "its all about Mick". We're nearing Mania season and Mick has an angle he should be involved him. I don't think he's at a stage where physically he should in a WWE ring. He wants everyone to gather around and find out if he's gong to stop watching (spoiler, he won't), does anyone really care?
On top of that he doesn't listen to what Vince says. Vince specifically said he thinks one of the problems with guys today is they are afraid to fail. The problem is the talent expects everything to be handed to them. He talks about scripts. This may sound mean, but Mick is likely heavily scripted because they don't trust him to stay on point and within time constraints. New Day talks about how they are not scripted and given the green light to do their own promos. But not everyone is that good, so the guys who are not, are heavily scripted. I believe it was Triple H who said some guys prefer it that way. That shouldn't be an indictment on WWE creative.
Mick talks about using blood to get Roman over. Sure, that would be easier. But I don't think Toys R Us and Kay Jewellers would appreciate being associated with a form of entertainment where grown men mutilate their bodies and bleed in front of little kids in the first row. The product is more mature now, more family friendly. Maybe because Mick needed all those gimmicks as a crutch to get over, he can't fathom how it can be done without it.
At the end of the day Mick is just trying to get more eyeballs on his blog, which is smart. He'll be watching next week, the week after, the month after, and the year after that. Bank on it.
