| I don't know if things were "rushed" with Randy, I just think the fans (Net and casual) didn't like him as a face. He was, and is, an amazing heel. He just oozes arrogance and he knows how to work a crowd as a heel. Booking played an immense role in his descent before his stock again rising on SD! But booking has made his stock begin to rise now to the World Title scene. Personally, I love Randy, just as I love Davey B as champ.
Of course, good booking is all relative. It's got to be done with the respective wrestlers in mind. Like Randy - turning him face was a TERRIBLE idea when he was so over as a heel. Turning Kennedy face would probably be a bad idea. Lashley as a heel would suck, 'cos as of yet, he's barely done any promo work. Carlito is such a good heel that facing him would be bad.
BTW, I think that WWE has plenty of talent that can successfully be turned into main eventers - for me, Masters and Orton are the obvious guys that can stay at the top for years to come. |
