I've really enjoyed the Fiend Bliss stuff, I think Bliss has been stellar in the role. However it was just weird last night, Orton comes out, says he couldn't burn her alive, then nothing, no Bliss, no fiend and Orton walks around being a ###### to all of the legends.
Hogan can't figure out why nobody liked him. That's laughable, beyond the whole racist stuff, the guy just has to have a solid reputation as somebody that isn't trustworthy and screwed over a lot of these workers actual heros.
To me the booking in WWE Smackdown and Raw is just poor with the exception of the Fiend, Hurt Business, Reigns. AEW is ok match wise, but their booking is over the top and nonsensical as well. I still really like NXT because the booking is simple and the matches are stellar.
Its almost like the wrestling business has forgotten the booking formulas that made Wrestling great. I hate you, I screwed you, lets attack each other and have a big fight. Simple and elegant.
Instead it seems like on AEW and WWE main roster that they've adopted the sketch comedy concept.
Last night on Raw Talk they had Ali, who's Retribution is a stupid angle trying to emulate Batman 3. He was seething about the fact that once again WWE booked a three hours legends show while the other workers with the company the guys pushing and breaking their bodies weren't booked or booked to look like dofuses to the Legends. It was a brilliant bit of Kayfabe.
