>"But here's the truth about me, and this is cocky and narcissistic. I'm good at this wrestling crap. I'm not good at the physical aspects of it, but I'm good at putting it together. I'm good at thinking about what will get good reactions. I'm good at it. I know what I come up with for this segment, for this show, is gonna work. I know that for a fact.

It's not road dogg's fault it is the dimeless rosters fault. If the solo/fatu angle was happening with brock and undertaker people would probably enjoy it

No he wasn't. He's hot for all the reasons millenials and suits never shut up about the attitude era.

He might have grown up in the business and gotten his dad's promo skills, but I've never seen him show much in the way of booking or writing acumen. Maybe he'd be better off as a promo coach to teach the kids how to cut a promo without it sounding stiff and rehearsed.

Well satan, WWE aka TKO has a rule that prohibits ECW, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold levels of promos because most of the new blood are insecure twats who cant hone their feelings and rage, one good example the tiffany vs charlotte shitshow of recently.
We will never get stuff like this ever again

All the last-minute changes break a man down.
The job needs someone who can be both a creative genius to keep up with everything, and a turn-on-a-dime leader who pivots like it's a ride at the theme park.
Very, very rare. The wrestling business doesn't have one of those.

Bret called it. Wrestling sucks because all the guys who never drew a dime in their lives are running the shows and producing the talent. We got Road Dogg writing for one company and Billy Gunn producing for the other. What the fuck

>the Vince era

Stephanie (and by proxy, Cunter) was director of creative by 2002 and then promoted to SVP of creative by 2006. She and Cunter have driven WWE into the ground. Vince only focused on a few of his handpicked guys and let them book everything else. And the show has been getting shittier and shittier ever since.
