| Re: Lance Storm's Rules of Wrestling I agree with all of that, but number 3, simplify the product - yes yes yes.
Angle and Benoit had one of the most electric feuds of the past decade and if I recall correctly the only real storyline to it was them trying to prove who was the best technical wrestler and the only real non wrestling catylist I rememer was Rikishi stink facing Angle and Benoit laughing, thus pissing Angle off. Despite this when they faced off on PPV the people were jolting. The Jericho - Kane feud of 2000 started with Jericho spilling coffee on Kane and I remember being really entertained by their program and was hyped up for their Armageddon match.
I don't care if Orton stole Triple H's kittens, set Stephanie's chest on fire and RKO'd their immigrant gardener into space before farting on Triple H's petunias. I don't care if Triple H responded by firing several SCUD missiles through Orton's window, throwing up on his pet Dachshund and forcing Orton and Wife to sit through a 500 slide Powerpoint presentation on the life and times of his penis and why it is the game and that damn good.
I am not jonesin in any way at the thought of them locking up and the more they shocked it up the less likely I was of buying the PPV. |
