8 Insane Storylines WWE Would Never Do (But Totally Should)
When ratings sag, it's time to go full Russo, but no poles. (Or hiring Russo. )
In the long ago late 90s, in the faraway land of Stamford, Connecticut, Vince McMahon, his awful kids and Vince Russo, created some of wrestlings most bizarre and flat-out insane storylines. Since that Attitude Era heyday, the company has made a ruthlessly aggressive effort to clean up its act. Whether the change came because of Linda McMahons Senatorial run or just a natural evolution to attract new audiences, WWE is now solidly PG programming. Turn on Raw and youll see superstars blowing up at each other over things like... popcorn. Hey, at least they stopped making those Marine movies, right? But, adult WWE fans were raised on Mae Young giving birth to a hand and HHH screwing a mannequin in a coffin, they miss insanity. Kooky, crazy or even controversial storylines would raise the emotional stakes and keep things unpredictable. And in some cases, the narrative opportunities easily present themselves: it's just a shame that WWE would inevitably bat them away without so much as a second thought.
