They could even have advertised that ahead of time for a bit of intrigue. Self-contained fun that takes nothing away from anyone. That would have been great fun! And that's what makes what they actually did even shitter - pretty much anyone giving it more than a few seconds' thought can come up with a better way to have achieved the same bit of brand synergy. Particularly as I just did a quick headline search for "WWE Zombies", and it would be a stretch to call any of the coverage positive, or mainstream, and none of the headlines mention the movie they were supposed to be promoting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a great idea and like all great ideas is actually incredibly obvious. All those writers, producers and executives paid shit loads of cash and not one came up with anything a tenth as entertaining or fun.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted May 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2021 Looks like after everything as well The Miz tore his ACL in the match at some stage and I've seen reports he may be off for 9 months. He's the perfect guy to get behind the desk of hosting something while his knee heals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Sucks for him. Always one of the hardest workers and willing to do anything really. Loved his Network doc. Hopefully this means they'll do something half decent with Morrison solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Miz should be on commentary. Perfect heel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinc Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Its completely killed my fandom all this 'movie' shite they've introduced in the Covid era. I hated the Boneyard and Firefly Fun House last year when everyone else seemed to love them, because they felt like they shattered my suspension of disbelief in the worst possible way. I love Brock, but I remember his match with McIntyre coming on straight after the Fun House on Mania last year and I just couldn't give a fuck. Because they'd just beat me over the head with the fact that they're all just actors for half an hour. The swamp matches and Fiend shite and now this zombie stuff has just compounded it all. I don't even know what WWE is anymore. How does anyone manage to care about any of it when the story telling is so incoherent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted May 19, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2021 Having read about Bray struggling with his mental health after the passing of Brody and everything else I really want to support him, but this just is looking for comments from people that will make him feel worse.

Daaaaaad!

That being said, it's Twitter and 90% of what I see on there about THE FIEND seems to be bizarre apologists who are Deeply Invested in the Lore of The Fiend.
