It seems really fucked up to me that Ryback is being built to a singles title match against Kalisto for Mania, but the really talented guys are stuck in a multi-man.

Spring's around the corner, seems like The Ascension is on borrowed time these days.

The Ascension really got a raw deal when they were called up. I'm not a huge fan of the team, but Viktor is good in the ring and Konnor has this weird sort of charisma that people could get into. They really needed to come in and decimate jobbers.

I hope Jericho works a full on slower heel style agains AJ. He is incapable of keeping up with Styles at this point of his career. Focus on telling a story, don't worry about doing backflips. You're 45 fucking years old. Focus on the facials, and being vicious. Let AJ bump around and sell, and don't try doing super complicated spots with that cheeseburger locker jiggling around. (LOL I'm being hard on him, I think he's in good shape for a guy his age, you can only fight gravity for so long especially if you're clean).

Last I checked, workrate and storytelling go hand in hand. Your workrate isn't worth shit if you're ALMOST hitting spots and constantly out of position. Focus on throwing good punches, working a body part, and doing the basics well and you're good to go.

Plus at this point, their match should be a brawl, since this is supposed to be a blood feud.
AJ should not try that asaai moonsault scorpion deathdrop on Jericho, because Jericho is not Kofi Kingston and just can't do it. |

I don't believe someone is an excellent worker until they know how to tell a story. If you're just hitting "cool" moves with no story, who are you working?

I guess it all depends on your definition of workrate. The Young Bucks fly all over the ring but none of it means anything. I would say they have a high workrate but zero storytelling.

I agree with Dale's definition of true workrate. I don't know what you call what The Bucks do, but it's not work. Well, I guess they work the smarks, so maybe that is the new workrate? But I think you are essentially arguing the same point, it's just the semantics of the term.

The Young Bucks are good "sports entertainers" and are going to go places in the WWE once they sign.

Heel Jericho is basically what you want, Dale, but I'm actually worried about this inclusion of The Ascension. They might have just been "bodies" to show Styles beating someone up, and their presence may not be attributed to Jericho, but I hope this doesn't go to The Bullet Club coming in.
I know people love them, and I'd like to see them cut their teeth as a tag team, but the whole "THE BULLET CLUB IS HERE!" thing doesn't really work in the context of the story. It's basically a heel story for Styles eventually, and right now he's working as a solo face guy. Put them as ruthless faces against The New Day or something after Mania. Have them come to Styles' aid when he gets beaten down by Bray Wyatt a few months down the track or something. |

I think workrate and being a good worker are two seperate things IMO

Didn't the Young Bucks already burn their bridges with WWE by being huge dicks to Booker T the last time they came in for dark matches?

Lol who hasn't burned a bridge with the WWE at some point. If they can make the company money, the WWE will go after them.

Heh, didn't even realize that. Not only did they apparently "squash their beef" with Booker but apparently they did so backstage at an indy show I was actually at. Good for them.

Haven't watched young bucks but by the sounds of them in their interviews they know what they're doing and. doing good business. Can't argue with their success. But dunno if they'd make it in the wwe unless they used their smarts to adapt their style to a main stream market.
