Depressing that The Room is a more coherent character piece than 82.4% of what the 'E offers as 'compelling stories.' Also, at least Room had a decisive ending, and didn't just peter out, hoping Big Show'd be enough of a distraction.
It's a mixed analogy, but I've made my point, methinks.
Yes, the nature of wrestling dictates heavy, heavy flexibility, but then you get something like Orton who could definitively beat Big Show not 6 months ago, then have'im scared shitless a little while later, and not have anything in the interim to explain that change, that is bad storytelling. Punk tries to, a little, at least, we had his change of heart around Spring, and rediscovering the 'Best in the World' self, somewhat explaining why he can face Ryback in a cell a year after he ran scaredly of it.

Ryback: Do you want me to beat CM Punk? Heyman: Whatever, I don't care. Ryback: I already beat CM Punk. Heyman: You think about everything, ha ha ha.

Axel: How was work today? Heyman: Oh, pretty good. We got a new client and we will make a lot of money. Axel: What client? Heyman: I cannot tell you; it's confidential. Axel: Aw, come on. Why not? Heyman: No, I can't. Anyway, how is your sex life?

HHH: Did you win the WWE Championship? Orton: Nah. [pause] HHH: You didn't get it, did you?
"This is the worst piece of shit I've ever worked on...and I've worked on a lot of pieces of shit."
All the divas would be heels, and wrestlers would frequently say how evil all women are. Divas wouldn't be allowed to do anything other than worship men, drink wine, and cheat on men.
Roman Reigns would get a huge one night push as Roman-R, but be quickly defeated by Tommy Wiseau (he'd make himself the star of the company) and never seen again.
More establishing shots of the city. Sometimes in the middle of matches.
Tommy would be booked as the most beloved face of all time, random people backstage would tell him how much they love him.
Raw's titantrons would be replaced with pictures of spoons.
Football tuxedo matches.
Instead of all promos sounding like Vince wrote them, they'll now include Tommy's buzz words/phrases like "It's a complicated situation."
Lesbians would be the biggest heels in the company (as well as wheelchair bound people). No farts would be allowed as they're "disgusting like hell".

Honestly Tommy Wiseau and Vince McMahon do have similarities. They're both eccentrics from poor backgrounds who amassed large amounts of money and use that money to live their dreams vicariously. They're both self conscious about belonging among entertainment people and are demanding and high strung when it comes to putting out their 'art', in spite of its quality.
