Can you imagine if, just for one day, the WWE booked their shows with every feud and storyline in history taken into effect? It'll be complete madness. You'll need graphics on screen just to explain it all. These guys should all be committed. They had a writer, whose name I forget, that did this. In his office he had a wall full of charts of how each character related to another and their last few interactions so stuff like this would be explained or brought up on screen. He took a lot of crap for it before he left.

Randy Orton is such a friend to John Cena that he didn't even bother to come out to help him when Cena was getting beat up by the Shield. What a pal!

Yeah this is a guy that got kicked in the head by Daniel Bryan while he was screaming at him...then a bit later he brings Bryan back on his SS team in dramatic fashion...The guy is as naive as Sting Eh, that at least kind of made sense, given they at least had explained Bryan being written out by him being remorseful over it and kind of implied he'd caught a Nexus beatdown himself over it. It's still iffy, but I'm willing to excuse it.

For treating your product like a television show, to not insult the intelligence of your audience, which is what every TV writer and showrunner ought to be doing anyway?

Bryan was kicked out of Nexus for showing sympathy for what he did and Miz was big timing them so they got Bryan since it would stick it to Miz and he could help them with Nexus.

Or by putting his hands on the female owner of the company, ensuring he would have virtually no support when Immortal finally brought their plan into fruition. Seriously Sting, WTF.

Or, after winning control of the company back, immediately gave control directly back to the tyrant who'd just had it because he was acting a little nicer after losing. Man, Sting's an idiot. Someone could write a book on him, I swear.

I like to imagine that Cena(the character) has no actual friends because he's married to the job, the fans hate him and he is sort of a jerk to everyone but doesn't realize it(See: Yoshi Tatsu, Evan Bourne, Zack Ryder, dude with rabies, every single on-screen friend he ever had). So he thinks everyone who says hello to him at catering is his friend because he's so used to being hated by everyone that a neutral response is like, the brofist to end all brofists.

I think I'm inserting that into my personal canon now. That's kind of genius.

What makes this statement so hilarious to me is that its not as if Orton's become a compassionate babyface always looking out for others and being a decent guy. He's still largely a sociopath who goes against heels because they've screwed him over somehow and only teams with other faces because they share a common enemy. Unlike Sheamus or even Del Rio he's never apologized or shown much humility about his heel run, and has punted many many people just because he could.
It would be like Superman talking about his close friendship with Lobo.

Chris Kreski, that was the writer who keep storyboards and a binders of the relationships between the various characters. Look him up, amazing writer.

I honestly took this story as they were just thinking the guy was wasting his time. He dedicated himself to continuity and everyone is just like, meh we are pro wrestling those marks cheer for who we tell them to dammit!!!!
