"I'm the character you love to hate."
No. You're the character which makes people turn the channel. If she wasn't Vince's daughter she would have been fired 15 years ago. Her character has been atrociously bad and nauseating for 20 years. . And not in a good " I can't wait to see you get your comeuppance heel way". In a "Get the hell off my TV screen" way. . She's a wannabe version of Vince's old on screen character except she has a fraction of the talent. Creatively she sent WWE down the crapper once she became head of creative. If she ever had a legit job evaluation, theres no doubt she would have been relieved of her duties after a year.

She's had flashes of being a good heel here and there, but other than that...yeesh. She ain't her father in his prime, that's for sure.

She was a good heel in the late 90’s-2001 but one of the worst heels of all time since then. She’s the HHH of heels which makes me think he rubbed off on her (not in the sexual way you perverts).

"I'm doing my job in the ring: I'm portraying the villain and setting the stage for our heroes to rise up and overcome the adversity I so eagerly put in their paths." You know that part about the heroes rising up and overcoming the adversity? You might want to work on that a bit more. "... and wife to wrestler and actor Paul "Triple H" Levesque."

Certainly doesn't help anyone else, nor does it help that offscreen "I'm a nice mom of three" image she's been trying to cultivate for years now.
Basically, just go away, Steph.

I never heard anything, but that was probably because it wasn’t a “shoot reaction”. I know it fits narratives, but isn’t it just as possible that Punk, a wiseass snarky babyface, was directed to react like that to a scripted promo putting over a delusional heel that he was just starting to feud with at that time? |

I know it fits narratives, but isn’t it just as possible that Punk, a wiseass snarky babyface, was directed to react like that to a scripted promo putting over a delusional heel that he was just starting to feud with at that time? That would make it a genius moment to me. And my brain has been polluted with WWE's ability to fumble their way into genius moments and their terrible execution of bad ideas that are the bread of what could have been good idea sandwhiches that. Like good promos with bad matches or great matches with a terrible build. Ever now and then the build and the matches are equally good. The bad moments sometimes lead into funny stuff, but it's normally due to how wrestling community responds to it in like places like this with our collective creative insanity which we have conditioned ourselves with. Like the MS Paint thread. Whether a well executed moment or terrible segment, that thread will make it awesome in the end. Think about not being on social media at all while things like this happens. You'd be left with your own take of the situation or how they frame what they want you to take from it. It'd be like a two clocks that get out of sync if not monitored because one runs normally and the other sporadically changes how many seconds determines a minute. You may never get the validation you need to get a sense of fulfilment. What makes me question if something was deliberate or not is the overall outcome. Or even what was the desired outcome. Our sensors were dirtied after Kevin Nash and Punks wanting to wear HHH's jacket. Punks placement and reaction in that gif could have been mere coincidence. And his reaction represents a certain audience's main frustration. And Punk's character represents what the company would rather not worry about all if they could avoid it. A visual and vocal representation of of what some viewers really feel. It could question the company's competency to the uniformed viewer. We won't even mention the commentary. All of that can present the question of are we entitled to feel that way. We are essentially patrons at a carnival, not quality control like they try to sell to new viewers. Them, "How can we improve our theme park?" Us, "Make the game with the good prizes winnable." Them, "Sure, pal." They wouldn't let a customer stand there and point out how much a game is rigged unless he was a plant that would somewhat lead you to believe that there was indeed a way to win. That would be deviously genius. Not like how they had Seth had complain to his TGIFriday's server about his customer service in front of a crowd to get a pop, then he turns around and gets on social media and tell us how hard it is to work in the customer service field. This came from the guy who was one if the ones carrying the company during the "Leeesssner Eeeera"/HHH voice. But the more you look at that gif you see small reactions on everyone's face. This supports you post. But in hindsight, they all would have their own reasons to react that way. I've had reactions like that a my job during meetings due to the absurdity if some of the stuff being said by delusion people. This is truly a captivating scene to discuss. A question of perception vs reality in a world works, shoots, and working yourself into a shoot of such brother dudery that It's a mindf***. A truley Emmy Award winning scene that would require a lot of heavy lifting by a dedicated viewer! But we are also talking about a guy who went out the way he did, got pettilly officially fired on his wedding, sued the company, and what transpired with him and Colt. |
