In terms of kayfabe, let's discuss why the Authority cares who the champion is

[AquaCityBoy]

seems like every champ the crowd cheers for and pays money to see, the Authority, hates.

What sense does this make in terms of kayfabe?

The answer is the same in or out of kayfabe.

 

[45123]

Vince always told Austin he makes him too much money to fire

Vince fired/tried to fire Austin several times in storyline during the AE

 

[Silkk]

well it made sense with austin i think. vince was the old school conservative type and he didn't think austin fit his mold for a champion. he didn't want austin to become bigger than the WWF and he also wanted to remind austin that he could control him anytime he wanted to.

john cena on the other hand is vince mcmahon's wet dream. if anything you would expect vince to orchestrate it so that john cena STAYS champion.

Same with Reigns

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

they don't want roman reigns to the be the champion and yet every time he has gotten a title shot (with the exception of the rumble win) was because THEY granted him one.

mcmahon's idea of punishment is just a title match with a stip. it's the dumbest fukkin thing i have ever seen. you have to believe they are smoking glass in those creative meetings.

this is true

Sheamus is best for business but Roman isn't = WWE logic

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Sheamus is best for business but Roman isn't = WWE logic

Sheamus is willing to do what the authority asks of them, Reigns will not. So in kayfabe yes Sheamus is best for business

death of kayfabe was the start of the slow death of wrasslin

 

[Grifter]

They want you to cheer for who they pick.

 

[MushroomX]

I tend to think of it as one big episode of Wacky Races

i don't have kids yet but i know it's gonna be real hard having to explain all the inconsistencies and plot holes in the storylines.

it was real to us growing up

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

perfect example of what Vince wants and dislikes



weirdly enough when Stone Cold finally joined up with Vince, he did what he always did and Vince was fine with it.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

it was real to us growing up

it really was

i mean i know 5 year olds usually aren't so cynical yet, but man... i cannot for the life of me imagine that there are kids today as passionate about this shyt as we were when were their age. there's no way. they're trained each and every week literally not to give a shyt.

I remember as a youngin, early 90's, Crush was laying the beats on Macho, dropping him on the guard rail and shyt, had me like " leave Macho alone, ", parents probably looking at me like

all shyt out the window now with all these wrasslers breaking character every chance they get to get a little e-pub

imagine being a 5 year old roman mark and one week he's getting hell from the authority... and the next week he's int he ring delivering a fight against cancer promo as hhh and steph look on smiling from the entrance ramp


5 year old kids like "pops you took me to a fake wrestling match? when were you gonna tell me"
