Wrestling needs to be more nuts.

[mrbananagrabber]

That whole Becky/Charlotte/Ronda segment from Raw is exactly the sort of crazy, OTT shit that WWE needs more of. How many times have they replayed the Austin beer truck/ Angle milk truck footage? Because that's the sort of outlandish, ridiculous material we all WANT, and remember, from wrestling. We're now over saturated with wrestling, so a 30 minute match between Mustafa Ali and Nakamura sadly just isn't going to get people talking, but all three women being arrested and smashing up cop cars WILL get people talking and maybe tuning in next week to see what else happens. It doesn't have to be far out Wyatt/Undertaker supernatural stuff (no problem with that either, mind), it's silly and far fetched but just verging on possibility. More importantly, it's FUN.

Note to WWE: more of the crazy shit, please.

It’s about achieving the right balance, but the success of that segment is certainly an endorsement for that surreal style with the right performers/circumstances.

They're already sponsered by Snickers, isn't that enough?

Most of us loved here loved the Braun vs. Roman feud when they were trying to kill each other in over the top ways as well. Not something they should do with every feud, but a balance would be nice.

Its like wwe forgets its an actual TV show

This. It doesn’t work in every situation, and I don’t need to see it all the time, but it’s definitely a card they should pull a little more often

No, we need Payday bar on board for maximum nutsness.

Read this as "wrestling needs more nuts" and was about to say how we don't need full frontal nudity.

No, we need more solid mat wrestling and less entertainment. Wrestling has strayed too far from Verne Gagne's vision.

Time for the return of the masked booker.

[Rican]

Hard agree. It was such a breath of fresh air from just how BORING everything is now. They don't need to do stuff like that every week but every now and then please.

“Oh shit! It’s Vince Russo!”

[Final Countdown Jones]

It was an absolutely bonkers segment but it definitely felt like something that broke the mold. Raw is written almost like a bottle episode most weeks except it's cheap on effort instead of budget, and hopefully this is a sign things might be trending more in that direction.

Even in disguise, the motherf***er has a white hood.

[Yacht Persona]

Wrestling should be as goofy and over the top as possible. These are men and women wearing tights pretending to fight each other, this is not UFC or boxing. Let it be more like a cartoon or comic book versus pretending this is a real competition.

[mrbananagrabber]

I mean, they talk about being the most "socially active" show on TV or whatever, and they're desperate to be trending etc.. well guess what, that's how you do it.
