      Well....no. This isn't even in hindsight that he passed less than 2 years later, even at the time. That was basically him calmly showing that he had a problem with how the Authority had treated his sons. It made sense for the sake of the story.

      No. She was always interjecting herself in the storylines and slapping everyone else, making them look weak because they couldn’t hit her back. She was a heat vacuum. The only reason why I liked Ronda at the beginning is because she destroyed that trope completely by putting Stephanie in arm bars every chance she got. 😂

    Stephanie had no right to be mad about this. It feels like in kayfabe, she very rarely got any kind of payback for her actions, she would literally slap and emasculate male baby faces all the time. Always made zero sense to me, so when Dusty did this I marked out and popped so damn hard.

    • @LucasFerreira-cq8qz
      @LucasFerreira-cq8qz 9 місяців тому +30

      It’s because WWE at the time was heavily scripted, like every line and every move was scripted during promos. So Dusty doing that out of nowhere was surprising to her and she thought he was taking liberties, but if he would just say to her exactly what he was planning to do before they got to the ring she would love it and go with it. It just took her off guard, Stephanie never had any problem being the butt of the joke in front of the audience.

      ​​@@LucasFerreira-cq8qzlmao she's been called slut/trashbag ho probably more times than any female in wwf history, but I can see why Dusty did what he did and why Steph got upset as well, the bottom line is that when you overscript promos they're always bound to fall flat or never reach that mark the writer wants it to reach, what people don't seem to understand is that a pro wrestler in their gimmick/character is supposed to be an extension of themselves, so may wrestlers in modern times have no idea how to stay and act in character especially when 90 percent of all promos these days are lines you have to remember from a script, I thought AEW would have been a great way to return to pro wrestling roots but since the owner/booker is a dumb bitch he can't seem to book anyone right or capitalize on ANY heat generated from promos that may have gone offscript (the MJF callout, the Omega/Punk drama, Edge and Ricky Starks going off script) pro wrestling just kinda sucks now

    • @MChuck-
      @MChuck- 9 місяців тому +36

      It's kinda why the Authority storyline wasn't able to live up to the McMahon/Austin feud. She rarely ever got her comeuppance for her actions and was able to do whatever she wanted with little to no consequences. That's why Austin/McMahon worked because no matter what Vince did Austin was there to give him a stunner before the end of the night. That's why this and the Ronda Rousey spot and match were huge because she was facing the consequences of her actions.
      Sure, Triple H would get attacked and lose big matches but he wasn't as bad as Stephanie.

      Dusty's promo actually made fans care about a tag title match at a time the tag titles meant nothing and at a time Cody/Goldust had majorly cooled off. He didn't only sell the story, he got people to care about his boys at a time they really didn't.

      Randy spent his entire afternoon the day before a show working on what his next promo would be so that he had something genius to hit people with. The guys back then were legendary. The Dusty types, the DiBiases, the Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, Piper... The whole lot in that 20-ish year span. They didn't have lines. They had catch-phrases that they rehearsed over and over and they believed in. Do that long enough, and you learn to buy your own hype when you're in the ring, and you become a trash-talking machine, and that made the old days worth it.
