Now if they have a gimmick match, it ups the chances for the champion to at least get hurt and add a little unpredicablity. Thus increases buy rates. In theory.
I agree, I mean, that's the reason TNA does their weird-ass shit, too. There's is just a lot more frequent and less eloquently done. But, to be fair, wouldn't the most effective maneuver from a financial standpoint be to put on shows that don't use gimmicks and prove to feature developments, shocks and all that jazz, so that the next time the WWE puts on a straight show, fans might tune in.

It really all comes down to the quality of the base product, I guess, and for both TNA and the WWE it is very low (generally speaking). The writing is horrible, so in a way gimmicks need to be used (to some extent) to make things worth watching. That they are both overdoing it is a sign that neither promotion is in great shape creatively.

I agree with what KK said about the WWE suddenly putting the breaks on. I mean, guys never spill outside during Hell in a Cell Matches anymore. Guys aren't given a ladder to experiment with these days, and it's saved for the upper mid-card, and in general, things are lot more protected. Everything is watered down as fuck.

And I get what Darth is saying about the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out, and it makes sense in the same way that all gimmick matches make sense, to an extent. Except for Chris Harris and James Storm being blindfolded at Lockdown. I don't know what that was about. I just think it is an overload for this period of time. WrestleMania can carry itself, it does not need an Elimination Chamber the month before. Although, to be fair, 2000 did feature a Hell in a Cell at No Way Out.

No, it's Celtic for "lazy-ass booking."

Nope, Latin for "Please TNA get rid of Russo, Jarrett, and Mantel as a booking team"

It's actually hebrew for "Please Kill me, I'm trapped in a sea of shitty gimmicks."

Maybe Johnny Stamboli is actually a genius, and it means all of those relevant things?

Unfortunately he was not able to work around the fact that it is also Klingon for "grapefruit." They can't all be winners.
