Is this the immediate future of wrestling?
Completely doing away with kayfabe, wrestlers ribbing each other on their promo skills, in ring work?
Cena actually said 'heel turn'. Maybe even mention booking?

No, this is.
>>3087178
>smarks worked into thinking this was a shoot and not a worked shoot
this is like the third time he mentions a heel turn where have u been
If by "the future" you mean "the 20 years ago", maybe.

Worked shoots are a crutch for people who can't cut promos, and seeing as most of the roster can't, then yes this is the future.
>>3087178
Hopefully its the immediate future of WWE because itll kill that garage company even quicker
They do this every time their desperate so it's not a new thing. The only thing that makes it more alarming now is that instead of doing it once every few years like they did twenty years ago... is that since 2014 they do it a few times every year and it gets worse each time they do it.

Neo-Kayfabe is designed to work smarks. Really stupid smarks thought Cena was shooting. Semi-competent ones even though Sexy Star injured Rosemary in a shoot. It's all a work and you bought it. -HH
It should be
No it's the 1999 of wrestling.
ITT: Fucking idiots.
If it was up to you kayfabe fags, we'd still be living in the Doink and Papa Shango Era.
Fucking kill yourselves, you ignorant fucking marks.

You're a faggot bitch and I'll absolutely crush you

This
The only thing "real" is that Roman was probably not informed that Cena will shoot hard on him and that's why he was taken aback and stuttered
>>3087650
t. guy who wrestles little girls, blow up dolls and never cut a promo that good in his entire life
Hang yourself
>>3087178
The best I can figure is that since this is the "reality era" anyway, they're thinking they might as well just go all out and try to appeal to the smarks on the way, since they don't really give them much else. As usual with WWE, it backfired and had the opposite effect.
>You see Roman, the only reason you got booked to beat me at No Mercy is because I'm taking time off.
>>3087185
>Worked shoot
Cena is gonna bury this samoan fuck for being such a faggot and burying the house that Cena built
>>3088199
Well meme'd goy
>>3088216
Roman wins btw
The only way cena wins is if he goes heel, therefore becoming face and then feuds with a heel Roman until Heel Cena is in trouble, with no escape, and a faceturn Roman saves the day, only to betray the faceturn by spearing Cena as the whole crowd cheers and he cuts a promo how this is now his yard
>>3087185
op complains about wwe booking "shoots", he never said it was a shoot, you retarded nigger
>>3087178
This is Cena's schtick when he does promos for big fights that need selling. It's good. Gets a great reaction.

Ziggler also said charisma vacuum and is going in a fourth wall direction too. I'm now legit interested in seeing if he has a new entrance and gimmick to really push his heel turn.
I like these kind of promos, I also think Kevin Owens and Miz in particular would excel at them.
>>3087178
Have you not seen a single Attitude Era promo? They did this shit all the time. Nothing new at all.
>>3087178
Why are people reacting so vehemently to this? Literally everything else about WWE has been ruined, what does it matter if they break the fourth wall?
>>3087178
WWE and WCW started douing worked shoots in 1996
Russo completely did away with Kayfabe in 2000.
25+
this shit is nothing original, it happens all the time.
>>3087185
>worked shoot
The attituede era was a mistake.
>>3090212
I can't suspend disbelief if even the show itself is constantly reminding me they're just pretending
>>3087178
Feuds about how a guy was purposely performing bad to lower the average Meltzer's star rating of another guy in one match they had, with the promo package showing the fight they had on twitter months ago.
