Disclaimer: I have not met these people in real life. Im sure they're all nice folks. This is simply what is wrong with their show.
This has been building for a few weeks now but I cant stand it anymore.
Hosts: Arda Ocal, Mauro Ranallo, Renee Paquette.
Arda: co-owns max pro wrestling. As a result he knows certain things and phrases which HE SHOULD KEEP OFF TV.
Mauro: The swirling cesspool of negativity. Rarely has anything nice to say about anything on WWE. Mentions he is from BC a lot.
Renee: Goldust mark. Otherwise fine.
Lets start from the top:
DONT HAVE A CONVERSATION OF INSIDE JOKES ON TV.
WE DO NOT CARE.
DISCUSS WRESTLING.
YOU ARE ON A WRESTLING SHOW.
And then there is "Shine and Heat."
BZZT. WRONG. PUMP THE BRAKES.
Why are you using this lingo on television?
For those who dont read the dirt sheets they're probably confused as to what it is until you actually EXPLAIN it to them.
Keep it simple stupid! Just say PROs and CONs. It's that much easier.
Fujiwara armbar: Michael Cole disregarded the move name. Michael Cole is also a giant flaming douche.
I agree with the hosts - use the proper names.
Today they nitpicked (spent the most time on in my opinion) the Kelly Kelly/Drew McIntyre angle and why it is 'bad' because the two of them cant act.
They're using Kelly BECAUSE SHE IS A GORGEOUS GIRL that all the teens are probably pining over.
McIntyre is playing the crazy bully guy because he's (finally) earned a push in someone's eyes.
Being a PG13 product, WWE has a stand against bullying (ive seen it advertised somewhere).
Therefore, McIntyre does not get the pretty girl because he is a bully to Trent Baretta. This shows the kiddies that bullying doesnt get you friends.
Baretta is playing the role of the average guy who keeps to himself (because we never saw him on television until he started getting bullied)
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
Mauro says: McIntyre and Kelly cant act.
NEWS FLASH: PG13 demographic doesnt care for acting ability on wrestling.
Mauro says: I dont like Baretta getting the 'slip on banana' win.
This can be showing that anyone can stop bullies dude.
Mauro says: It's rehash after rehash after rehash.
This is fresh material to the new (young) viewers that just started watching.
Carrying on...
Arda says: I didnt like the Teddy Long angle.
This is clearly setting up to include the "Corre" (which is a terrible name. Ill agree with you here.) as villains on Smackdown. Why else would they blatantly say "Hey we didnt do it."
Guilty Conscience? (Or they're going to be good guys after the rest of the story is revealed. Yeah right.)
Yes it cut into the R-Truth/Del Rio match. Bad move on WWE.
Renee says:
I forgot what Renee mentioned. Must not have been important.
Look-a-likes:
Save this tripe for the end of the show (last 30 seconds to 1 minute) and have ONE OR TWO GOOD ones that make sense.
We dont care who people think YOU look like. This is a WRESTLING show.
Thats all I have for right now. Maybe if I actually watch next week ill take notes.
In closing:
WWE isnt for what YOU (as in the smark fans) want to see anymore.
It is what is going to sell the most merchandise and hold the younger generations attention.
Ever notice how camera shots of fan reactions have children in them the majority of the time?
Wait until those kids grow up to where we are now and you might "find wrestling good" again.
also: Keep Jimmy Korderas on. He is fine.
Book Gordo Laidlaw as special guest.
Having met Arda, I can tell you he knows his shit. This show is supposed to be a "SMARK" show catering to the people who can barely tolerate the shit that the Fed is putting on these days. Some nights, it's better than the show itself. I know I enjoy it more some times.
ReplyDeleteMauro tries too hard and can be annoyingly obnoxious sometimes. Renee at least knows her stuff fairly well from what I've seen.
Booking Korderas is brilliant. Keep him on at all times. Gordo wouldn't get past the first episode as much as I'd love it. Too much truth for their sanitized viewers :)
Nice job Bucket.
Arda is a nervous cocky mark and I'm glad the score got rid of him! They shouldve done it a long time ago. He botched so many segments.
