Have you paid a lot of attention lately?Quote:

Yeah except here is the deal most wrestlers big moments happen during a PPV. If WWE continues to work stories and bigger PPV matches out of all these part-timers the audience will likely care less about a younger superstar at the bottom of the card. Moreover, its X number less spots for your full-time talent to have a PPV match.Quote:

From what I'm reading, it'll be likely that Sting only has one, maybe only a couple matches. Might be used in a GM type of role.
In case you're wondering what the scripts look like for Raw:

Myself and the Features Editor Trevor Osz sat down after Money In The Bank for a podcast. Check it out here: http://headlocks4breakfast.com/2014/...k-4-breakfast/

The 4 majors of the WWE are still Summer Slam, King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, and Wrestlemania, right? I'm asking out of general curiosity.
Survivor Series. Haven't had King of the Ring as a PPV in a while.
I don't understand how this isn't somebody's theme in the WWE yet. When I hear it all I can picture is a heel RKO.

WWE is cutting costs, so licensing new music isn't something they're doing right now. That's why you see generic in-house music for new themes of Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Seth Rollins, Rusev, etc.
Ah yes, I'd forgotten that.Quote:

Definitely. I'm thinking more CM Punk if he came back as a heel again. But then again, CM Punk took This Fire Burns by Killswitch Engage. Orton wanted it, actually came out to it once or twice, but the WWE thought it suited Punk better and Orton wasn't pleased.Quote:

But when I went back and watched the very matches I knew him from, he certainly did not. I don't know how he got so inherently connected to This Fire Burns in my head, but he sure as hell did.
Yeah he used Cult Of Personality then I think.
This week's Talk Is Jericho is a good one. Part one with Triple H. Part two will be Friday.

I always preferred stuff like HBK's "Sexy Boy," the Stone Cold glass shatter theme, or the Rock's "If ya smelllllllllll......" theme to actual licensed songs.Quote:
