That wasn't nearly as big as y'all made it out to be.

Re: Um.... THIS JUST HAPPENED
Dude... it's entirely possible that that devolved into a shoot that could lead to Daniel Bryan quitting (look at Maryse and Renee's faces during this. This was clearly not in the script [or at least not the version that they were given]). Either that or it's a work that has to lead to Bryan returning to the ring. You don't think that's a big deal?KILLdozer wrote:That wasn't nearly as big as y'all made it out to be.

Re: Um.... THIS JUST HAPPENED
this show is getting really shooty, starting from the first week it's been shooty. I hope they use this to really build Miz as a top heel in Smackdown messing with Dragon
Miz was watery-eyed at the end. I can see it now. Cesaro wins US after the best of 7 and jumps to Smackdown, Miz jumps to RAW
Red, promo of the year?

Re: Um.... THIS JUST HAPPENED
I have gained respect for the Miz. Because instead of acting pretentious and cocky, he's showing himself to be the "I'm here night after night wrestling and defending titles while everyone gets injured, and I get zero respect" kind of heel.
This is clearly real because Miz's comments about quitting and going to the indies really got to Daniel you could tell. Renee's face at the end was clearly a "what the hell do I do now?" face.
Great promo from Miz.
But wow, what a segment. This is precisely why scripts for promos are bad, because when you go off script, it works more often than it doesn't.

I suppose I was just being contradictory lol. He did go off on the boy out of nowhere. I read the guys on the YouTube saying the same... SD is like a whole different show.

Re: Um.... THIS JUST HAPPENED
It depends on what your definition of "works" is. There is a very strong argument to be made that this segment did not "work" unless what happened here was the intended end result. If Miz going off topic resulted in him saying something that made Daniel Bryan shoot quit, the segment didn't "work." No matter how real the emotion is, if going off script results in something being said that in some way alters the destination from where the booker wants it or introduces some element into things that wasn't supposed to be there and as a result changes the perception of the characters or the company or the feud, then the segment did not "work."XIV wrote: But wow, what a segment.

For the most part, scripts are bad, but it's not because of their predetermined nature. It's because of how unnatural they sound when the voices are wrong. If they wanted to, I'd bet that Miz or John Cena or CM Punk could write themselves some scripts for their promos and it would come out fine. The problem is when you have people talking in ways that fans don't believe are natural for their characters (or, occasionally, when it feels like everyone is talking in the same voice).

Not the point. The point is that he is an example of someone who could make a scripted promo work if he scripted it himself.KILLdozer wrote:CM PUNK is gone . WWE actually"finally deleted him" way before TNA ever began to think of such a thing lmao.

Re: Um.... THIS JUST HAPPENED
I'm using him as an example because he is someone with a unique voice/style of speaking. If it helps you grasp my point, just pretend that I wrote "Rusev" instead of "CM Punk."KILLdozer wrote:Talking about him like he's still anyway relevant though, seems pointless.Big Red Machine wrote:Not the point.
