Burgundy LaRue Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Kane said it as a joke in a promo, but it's true: they could make El Torito champion if they wanted. It's all about presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I don't even know if Vince Russo started the whole "you need to talk to be over" thing. I can't remember a time when the WWF pushed someone who either couldn't talk or had a manager. You can have someone win a lot but they still need a connection with the audience in order to be over. And goofy comedy has been the WWE's thing since national expansion began. I just wish they'd restart Tuesday Night Titans so they can get it out of their system on one television show.

cool arrow Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 That's why it worked so well when they tried to have Big Show steal it! Also why the Royal Rumble crowd shit all over Reigns winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nature Boy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I can't remember a time when the WWF pushed someone who either couldn't talk or had a manager. Brock Lesnar. 2013-present I made a mistake in my original post. I meant to say that I couldn't remember the last time WWE pushed someone who couldn't talk or didn't have a manager. Otherwise I'd be excluding The Undertaker, Kane, Umaga and of course Lesnar. WWE has never been keen on pushing people who did not have at least some kind of voice, whether it be their own or somebody's else's. There has never been a highly pushed WWWF/WWF/WWE star that did not have someone doing the talking for him. It's just not what the McMahons do or have ever done for that matter, going all the way back to the Blassie/Wizard/Albano managing days and beyond.

DTTW Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Daniel Bryan isn't over; Daniel Bryan's catchphrase is over. Uh...wasn't there a moment where he won the title at some wrestling event after years of struggle and the crowd was crazy happy because the previous year he lost in 30 seconds?

stro Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 That's why it worked so well when they tried to have Big Show steal it! Also why the Royal Rumble crowd shit all over Reigns winning. Yet multiple crowds during the year gave Reigns the YES chants this year, including the same Philly crowd that booed him at the Rumble doing it for his title win on Raw.
