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. 😂
It's really cool that Dusty did that for the writer. He wanted to write his own speech, but also recognized that could be an important piece of reference for him in future writing jobs, and still gave him credit.
Dusty did exactly what he was suppose to do, He's a legend and Stephanie around that time was eviscerating/ emasculating stars on the mic so Dusty basically said= You won't own me on the mic, im the american dream for godsakes. Kno ur place steph 😂😂
@@chisomibezim1481 yea but women are allowed to have preferences and men aren't.you forget that women built this entire society and all the buildings and cars and faught all the wars for us to have better lives,oh wait something is wrong about that statement.
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.
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
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.
@@LucasFerreira-cq8qzThat's very true until about the late 2000s. Maybe the early 2010s but she went from being like her father and up for any sort of payback to almost never getting anything except accidental contact at a WrestleMania. And it's one of the things she got the most heat for because she would emasculate the entire roster and they would just have to stand there and take it. There was never any payback for her
I know the WWE audience do acknowledge Dusty but man I wish he could've been as big in the WWF as he was in Florida so now the fans could realize how massive a deal that man really was..
The wwe made dusty a joke. I wish they would have let him do his thing like he did in the NWA. The American Dream wasn't a gimmick. That was just Dusty!
This is what is missing from wrestling, that outlaw spirit Dusty had... Steph needed to be put in her place but nobody only had the balls to do it except Dusty
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.
@@107Pedro Taker had said in an interview that he and Warrior would talk about things before they did work together. Not saying it was always that way, but he DID plan out his promos in advance to some degree. You get to a point where the plan is to improvise bits and pieces with your own bullet points and catch-phrases between. Basically everyone around that time did it that way. Nobody 'wrote' the promo. They just spent time thinking about what points they were going to hit before doing the promo.
Love the fact that Dusty basically just did whatever basically needed to happen, made sense, and stayed true to Dusty! When he put the shhhhsh on StephMac it was such a beautiful and awesome moment. *Can we appreciate just how smoking hot Brandi looks there? She’s a serious smokeshow!
Holy smokes Brandi... Edit: Oh yeah no I like listening to Cody every time. He's a down to earth guy and knows what he's talking about without coming off as an egomaniac, like some of the other guys. Great insides. But you know...Brandi....
Brandi has always had an ego that didn't deserve to be there. Even right when they left the company and she was referring on Twitter to their accomplishments ...like....no honey. HIS accomplishments. You were a c level ring announcer, And they didn't want you to wrestle because you were bad at it
@@matthewrock4725 Patrice O'Neal had a funny bit about women doing that. If I'm remembering the bit correctly, he said that "When the woman wins the lottery, she won it. When you win the lottery, we won it."
Love dusty and cody but cornette was doing the boys in the crowd with OVW years before dusty in fcw/nxt. It led to the famous confrontation involving corny and santino over what santino was doing in the crowd involving the boogyman.
Characters build characters. If you have a talented rule breaker on your team let them grow they will bring others up with them. All you need to do as a ‘’boss/leader’’ is guide them.
Dusty breaking the rules and doing what he thought was right gave NXT the opportunity to shine. Triple H gets a lot of credit, and well deserved, but we all know who got the ball rolling to make the black & gold era so successful.
It was during Covid. When there was no one in the crowd so they would pipe in fake noise. Dusty’s idea was to use the guys in the wwe lockeroom as the audience instead to react and make it feel more authentic. Which they did in nxt.
The micro managing in WWE helps make things unauthentic and they need to trust their talent more, they don’t need a full script for a promo, unless they absolutely need it, I’d like to think the talent are competent enough to do a promo on their own with some bullet points, a word for word script is just so robotic.
Why is it so great that he wasn't a team player, constantly ignored orders, and "broke all the rules" from the company that took care of him after he went broke for the 8th time?
@@EWH815 But most of the moments were scripted all over. They were told what to talk about and who they were dealing with and who is winning. Wrestling is the most scripted form of entertainment.
@@TheEWFX29 In the peak of wrestling in the 90s-early 2000s it was bullet point scripts. What I and most are referring to is the fact most wrestlers had a lot more freedom in the past with their characters and how they decided to get their messages across. There's even video of guys like Rock and Mankind talking about ideas and thinking of ideas not scripted. Many of the best moments between Rock and Austin were done organically on the spot.
Because he wasn't out for himself. He was still trying to help the younger talent. Dusty knew that some rules are more important to follow than others. What difference does it make whether he wears a Polo shirt or not? He's the American Dream.
Yeah I think it was disrespectful af. But in saying that, Steph had been pretty disrespectful to a lot of talent on TV for years so I kinda get it, especially with the way Dustys sons had been treated, you could tell their was a lot of resentment towards the McMahons. So I understand why he did it, but should he have done it? Probably not.
Idk why in kayfabe he’d bother being respectful. The hand sold it more. If Steph was a true pro she could have and should have hammed it up for maximum effect. She was getting called a skeezer and getting rock bottomed for 2 years straight, idk how a hand is crossing the line
You do realize that Stephanie getting mad for no reason like one time she got piss at Chris Jericho just cuz he got heat by fans having throw the glow sticks at him so clearly Stephanie doesn’t really understand the business if she gets mad that easily
@@NurzBennyI can see it being crossing the line given that it wasnt a part of the script. While the other things you mentioned were part of the script

Stephanie ruined wwe Shane always should've taken over from Vince Shane being too good of a brother stepped aside for her but that was a mistake Stephanie is a headache of a person
She deserved it and just because she's the owner's daughter doesn't me she should get to run her mouth your dad brought you into this that's the only reason you have any t.v. time like you do and money like you do don't disrespect the ones that paved the way
