'Overbooked' seems to have become the blanket term for anything badly booked. There is no reason you can't have multi layered booking that makes sense. Gabe Sapolsky at his peak...nothing on any show was ever throw away. Every result mattered and advanced the story. But it all made sense.
The problem with the WWE is they have incredibly simplistic booking that makes very little sense.
Why are these arch rivals agreeing to team together?
Whyshould the heel tag team champs be used to put over the babyface hero in a handicapped squash, when you have a dozen jobbers to choose from to do the same thing?
Nobody does simple like Cornette. Go watch SMW tapes. You see every angle, every turn, every result from a mile away. But its all logical. Easy stroies like larry is talking about. Cornette is what the WWE needs, but he's a loon and can't get along with anyone.
TNA I guess you can say overbooks, but really its just Russo trying to fool everyone and be clever like its 1999. Again, the issue is it makes little sense because the characters lack proper motivation for their wacky actions. TNA is like two kids playing with wrestling figures in the backyard, topping each other with wacky angles.
Both groups run too many angles. Verne Gagne ran like one tv angle per year. But now these guys have boxed themselves into a corner. You have to have an angle every segment. Why do you think they run out of fresh ideas and recycle the same shit?
