WCW Hyping Main Events, WM25/TV, Tomko, Cena
Written by Richard Gray on Aug 18, 2009 - 11:38:22 AM
I thought WCW always did a good job of hyping their main events by using Michael Buffer as the ring announcer. Did you enjoyed that aspect of WCW and do you think that is something WWE could include in their product, particularly at the big four PPVs and special occasions?
I enjoyed how WCW would bring Michael Buffer in to hype the main events up as a very big deal. Not only did it get the live audience real hot but it came across well on TV. I do not see WWE doing it because it is not cost effective. A lot of money was wasted in WCW and the amount they paid Buffer was ridiculous. Vince McMahon is going to use the ring announcers that already work for the company.
Will WWE WrestleMania 25 - The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania on NBC be the full pay-per-view?
No, the full pay-per-view will not air but they will show highlights from it. WWE has done this previously which is good to give the product more attention on network television on one of the big networks.
Where is Tyson Tomko?
WWE released Tomko before he ever got work in developmental. He denied rumors he was released but has not been in developmental and I believe recently resurfaced overseas.
Do you think John Cena is overrated?
I'll be the first to admit I think John Cena's gimmick has grown stale and is geared completely towards WWE's younger audience. However, I do not feel he is overrated because of how he draws for the company. Cena still leads the company in merchandise sales and as long as he continues to make WWE money, they are not going to change his gimmick. Cena is a good worker but I think his gimmick is what makes people tired of watching him. If WWE would turn Cena heel I think a lot of the haters would become fans because Cena has extraordinary skills.
