Dusty Rhodes = WORST BOOKER EVER!!!
By Rachel Davis
gotta say that for all the respect i have for Dusty, he is the worst booker in the WWE today. i think its more than just "some bad idea's" - everyone makes mistakes (like the douche that put a belt on cody rhodes!!) but dusty is consistantly poor. the reason why people dont watch or enjoy ECW is definately not because the talent is poor - they have some of the most criminally underused athletes in pro wrestling (Burke, Benjamin, Morrison, the "originals") - it is because the booking is consistantly poor, repetitive and predictible.
i am quite sure that any sincere wrestling fan could book the show better, for a fraction of what Vince is paying Dusty. I am convinced that with better booking the talent and potential of the ECW roster would be on show for all to see and we wouldnt have Big Daddy V as the sole ECW rep in the elimination chamber (we could have had Benjamin and Kane in there instead of BDV and Khali).
with Dusty booking there is little flow between storylines (where did chavo come from?) and we have traditional no-dq gimmick matches (steel cage, "extreme rules", falls-count-anywhere etc) replaced with russo-esque gimmicks like the "gulf of mexico match".
but i gotta agree with nomonksinmyband - in the end the blame has ultimately gotta lay with Vince and Steph. saying that, it does not excuse Dusty as he could certainly do more than what he has with the talent these guys have to offer.
i say Shane - O - Mac for president!!
