...What's with all of this "____ gets his win back" stuff?
I'm just curious...is this a requirement for today's wrestling?
Seems lame.. but I wanted to ask, because I've been largely disconnected from the WWE since about 2005ish.

Well, it means what it is. Hogan, Trips, whomever getting their win back is just that. Hogan put Warrior over at WM6, and some would argue he lobbied to get Warrior into WCW just to "get the win" back..literally paying his opponent to specifically show up and job, letting him obtain an in storyline win over an opponent to make even a loss he suffered years ago.
It's an ego stroke move.

It's even steven booking which basically leaves everything in a holding pattern and in the end nothing is really accomplished.

It's something that's been around for eons, but I/we just never noticed until we discovered the internet and, thanks to that, the true nature of the wrestling business.

Everything has to be a stalemate these days so there are no hurt feelings, sadly.

It's even steven booking which basically leaves everything in a holding pattern and in the end nothing is really accomplished. That's really what I'd assume. Growing up over the years, I never witnessed Savage get his big win back against Hogan and Warrior (albeit retaining by DQ loss at SS 92), Shawn never returning the favor to Bret, and if I'm not mistaken, Austin never beat Triple H via pinfall post-1999 (besides a pin in the NWO 2001 2/3 match). Situations like these always moved the characters and angles forward. It left the door open for a compelling future feud, but from everything I've been reading, everyone needs to divide their feud 50/50 and that seems silly. It makes must wins useless, and it really spoils the surprise element for the next big ppv show. Heck, Austin got a MAJOR rub from Bret Hart... and I believe he was actually winless against him in singles bouts. |
