Synopsis for people who know wrestling is fake?

Hold on a moment, friend. The results of the matches are (almost always) pre-determined, and the drama is (almost always) manufactured, but wrestling is not "fake". The battered bodies/brains of the crazy mfers who engage in this wild form of entertainment is proof enough of that.

As somebody that used to be a huge wrestling mark I’ve had enough of the @DMoney and @Memnon angle. It’s time for the payoff. You can only have the chase this long until the fans start to lose interest. This is being booked worse than Sting / Hogan Starcade 97.

We know the storyline of the feud .

We’ve had the chase wetting our taste buds .

Memnon has been booked with enough heat to be the heel but like the Monday night wars I have to ask “ is he really the heel” or the anti hero”? It’s stone cold all over again. The heel is getting a baby face pop and the baby face is getting more heat than expected.

Could D$ be the Mr McMahon character or better yet the Rock when he went heel and joined the corporation ? Everyone says D$ is now part of the machine so maybe the booking might need to change. Something like an Austin Brett Hart double turn . The fans seem to be going towards Memnon.

Regardless we need to settle this and fast. The money has been drawn and it’s now time for the pay off. Imo it needs to be in the old blue steel cage , “ two men enter and only one leaves the winner”.

I’m personally tired of the back in forth with the promos , the run in’s and interring in each others threads / matches . Let’s find Jim Cornette and Dutch Mantel where we can figure out a finish then book it at a ppv. With @SWFLHurricane as the special guest enforcer. That way we won’t have any Nick Patrick type hijinks .

Lastly I come from the old school where you book heat, there’s likely going to be no decision just to squeeze one more match out of this like the previous mentioned Starcade 97.

ONLY ON PPV, meaning ad’s will be all around the video and you’ll only see half the screen.

Rematch has to be a cage match.

I only watched wrestling from 1985ish to 1992ish, so someone translate this to that era.

One of my best friends growing up made it to Monday Night Raw (not the live show but the matches before the cameras started rolling)

I saw what that dude went through it was pretty insane

No lies. Never going to claim the interworkings, but I had front row once along the rail and DDP got thrown into that rail full bore and landed into us. Scripted or not, he 💯 hit that rail full force.
