On the Royal Rumble pay-per-view Lana lost her spot on the rumble because of a busted knee caused by Nakamura when she was too trying to tell the ref that he was trying to cheat. In fact they even film The segment where she starts crying that she lost her spot and it meant so much to her. Now she's comes out with Nakamura and her worthless husband and is actually not complaining or even acknowledging that this doofus costed her her spot. Do the writers that WWF hires do they even watch the Pay-Per-View

On commentary last night they were putting it over that more than anything Lana values winning and that's why she was willing to overlook it since she saw value in Rusev and Nakamura as a team... but of course they immediately showed she's an idiot in that regard since they lost their second match together.

The sum effect of the creative team, whether it's bad writers or Vince shitting everything up, is one where they don't care. They 100% do not care, and the fact that we do care about things like consistent character motivations, continuity, or things happening for any purpose at all, is something we're mocked by the company for. I can't stress enough that people in the company repeatedly mocked former head writer Chris Kreski for using storyboards and notes to plan out the show. This is the creative force at work in WWE.

George RR Martin has a dude that looks at his writing and lets him know if there's some inconsistency he missed.
WWE should hire that guy.

The biggest problem with WWE is that there’s no logic or consistency in the stories. Strowman will be tagging with Reigns next week when the last time we saw the two together, it was The Shield kicking his ass.
If AEW or any other new company can get this right, they will be miles ahead of WWE. The fans want compelling stories. They don’t want their intelligence insulted.
Being a “face” and a “heel” shouldn’t automatically wipe the slate clean. These wrestlers should have a past. I’m sick of someone turning face and all of a sudden being every other face’s best friend.
To stay on topic, this tag team shouldn’t even be a thing anyway. I was really looking forward to a Nakamura and Orton alliance a few months back. The two of them trying to “out sick” each other would have been a fun dynamic. Plus it would have freshened Orton up a bit.

To be fair, that could be explained as Stroman letting it go, due to the whole cancer diagnosis. It's kinda weak, but I get exactly what you're saying |

I’d counter that by saying “Why would anyone want to kick Roman’s ass then?” |

Remember when English did a Hamilton-style rap to introduce Lana in a match, because they were all friends and because Rusev Day is all about supporting one another, and it was great for like a hundred different reasons?
That has nothing to do with this specific point, but it just makes me kinda sad to think about.

I did notice her accent was like 99% American, only the Rrrusev bit sounded like the old Lana.

They could have used the first few weeks to show that Lana didn't trust Nakamura but then they win a match and she's OK with him but alas they didn't.

George RR Martin has a dude that looks at his writing and lets him know if there's some inconsistency he missed. WWE should hire that guy. The Simpsons writers were at some convention. Somehow a Simpson’s trivia game, writers vs. fans was gonna happen. A few of the less tenured writers were all excited. Al Jean or someone told them this is a horrible idea. “We wrote it all. What could go wrong?” The writers got slaughtered by the fans. |

George RR Martin has a dude that looks at his writing and lets him know if there's some inconsistency he missed. WWE should hire that guy. The vast majority of writers do. Entertainment is full of all sorts of measures to keep this shit on lock, and the way WWE handles writing television with one-week-at-a-time no planning and all hands on deck right now working the next episode only is not how f***ing anyone else works in all of TV. The only show with a similar creative process is South Park, which regardless of what anyone thinks about it is at least going for a very different kind of show structurally to what Raw and Smackdown are trying to be. The closest I can give to a comparison in media for how WWE handles this shit is to say it's the weekly fanfiction offerings of a 17 year-old who's just going with the flow. Every week a new chapter comes out, it often veers wildly off course into "I had a neat idea and I wanted to write it into a chapter this week", plot threads get brought up and then forgotten about just as quickly, overuse of dramatic surprises make up too much of the story by volume to have any impact, there's no forethought or long-term plan so stuff just gets muddled and confused, and nobody is beta reading or even giving a quick spell check to the story before it goes up, that shit is just slammed right onto fanfiction.net without a care. That's what WWE is comparable to and any writer on virtually any level above that one is subject to more oversight or at least creative common sense than the shit circus WWE is. |

That's an unfair comparison. Most fan fiction writers are way better than WWE's writers. |
