>>14107329They've more or less changed course once the Phil promo hit, lmfao.
Sasha didn't pop anything and the shows keep doing worse so they're just going for whatever low-hanging fruit can give them attention right now.
Put it like this, in Copevember, all I heard was about how Swerve is next. Yet nobody fucking talks about him anymore despite going for the belt in like a month. You would think this would be the hottest angle of the company.
Will O'Spreay: they got a big free agent signing, who takes 20 minutes to beat midcarders. No highlights of anything he's done in the indies. He's feuding with his stable, and Daniel Bryan about who loves fake fighting more.
Okada: NJPW's most pushed star of the 10s and their guy. In a group with the Bucks, won a midcard belt. Hasn't said or done anything. Crowd doesn't really react all that much because he came out with barely any fanfare. Not even a highlight of all his shit.
Like, there are "stories" with no fucking narrative. Swerve in particular bothers me the most because people hyped him up so much and he's clearly going to win the belt, but he doesn't even feel important.
This is a company that refuses to click the trigger when it matters.
