Stupid question, but what was the freaking point?
The JR angle, period?
Now, I know firing him was to get him offscreen. But why even bring up the whole Austin Angle when he was ducking offscreen? Rumours were flying before Austin ducked out that he didn't know about this in advance, and wasn't happy, etc., but the important thing is there was no way the fans were going to be happy with a Stone Cold loss, and there was no other way for it to really play out. He was fighting for JR, but we know that JR wasn't coming back one way or another, and that just reeks of bad business. Two things: 1: Austin's still no hero for ducking out. I don't advocate this kind of behaviour, period. 2: I know half of you are thinking "It's the WWE, what did you expect?" But this shit's retarded even by normal WWE standards. So what was the point? To milk Austin's "return" a couple more weeks in hopes of keeping ratings up? Have the bookers killed their last brain cell? What? “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”--John Rogers |

I still don't understand it. Taking JR off TV to do an angle where Austin would wrestle Coach, only it was never intended to bring JR back, so why do it just to job Austin out to an announcer?
WWE booking makes my head hurt.

What the hell happened to the McMahon's being "back" as a heel force? I was looking forward to that.
Are we supposed to forget Linda turned heel? |

I'm just hoping that their original plan wasn't for Austin to have his retirement match with Henry.
Henry does not deserve to drink the same brand of beer as Austin. |

I operate under the assumption that the writers literally have zero logic. That way, if anything goes right, I mark out.

Triple H with Stephanie, Cena with Austin, Angle with Bischoff and, just to throw the curve out there, Jericho with Shane. Either have Cena win it and have Austin give him a rub or give it to Jericho if he comes back full time. Would have worked. Would have been a clusterfuck, but if they booked it right (hey, it's happened) it could have gotten Cena over huge or built an even bigger star out of Jericho. Or, if they got him back, replace Jericho with Lesnar and Heyman. |

The only logical explaination of this that I can see was to punish Austin for no showing events before. And also it kinda helped set up a reintroduction of the McMahons. But yeah, for the most part it seems pretty dumb.

I assume it's because the writers think (and I guess they're pretty much right), that anything Austin=ratings. As for Austin losing, well, I guess they just thought it didn't matter.

Well, to be fair, Vince wouldn't be here without being lucky in being the son of the old WWF owner.

Shane's not bad, he can actually take a few bumps and has great charisma. Stephanie isn't HORRIBLE. Linda doesn't do anything good. She "cuts" horrible promos and can't sell for shit. (See: Stunner and Tombstone)

Shanes charisma and taking a few bumps? sounds like what nick mondos good for minus the charisma, though u were against spot monkeys? any time shane talks i just think "you cant act, and you dont have to so you wont", hes never seemed natrual to me before, thus no charisma in my eyes. Steph and linda...wont even waste the time to on my keyboard weith them

Yea he can sell moves i suppose, which is vital in the ring but again, just not impressive to me. His mic skills suck, his cocky persona is not done in the correct way at all, im supposed to hate him i know but as a wrestling fan you know when someones trying a bit to hard. His facial expressions before he gets on the mic show his nervousness as well,a bit TOO well, despite being in the biz for so long. AND NOTHING IS MORE ANNOYIN THEN WHEN THE GM IS A MCHMAHON, its just it kills the show to me.

Obviously not. Shane is the best of the McMahons. Can do the face, do the heel, and can pull out a 4 star match in the ring (depending on the opponent). Nervousness on the mic? Please. He's better than a lot of the roster. If they swerve tonight, I can see a decent match with Cena. Or if they don't, a VERY decent match with Kurt. Would love to see that rematch. WHICH WAY DID HE GO? |
