sek69 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Reading in the WON how Dusty has successfully lobbied to get the ECW tag titles revived, combined with his previous work booking Smackdown, can a case be made that he almost single handedly saved tag team wrestling in WWE? You could even argue that without Smackdown reminding people that tag team wrestling still exists, the RAW tag belts would still be jobber fodder instead of being fought for between main eventers (one of which being the WWE champion).

Loss Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Tag teams have historically been strongly featured in every booking run from Dusty. Dusty has had a lot of good and bad booking runs at various points, but I'd honestly rather have Dusty booking than Paul Heyman booking. I don't know that ECW will become great under him, but I'm sure it will be much more watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 You know, I never did get why Dusty's booking gets slagged on like it does. I mean, it's not like he didn't have some ideas that are still pined over to this day (WarGames), and the "he pushed himself too much" argument would have more force if Dusty still didn't have more charisma than the entire WWE roster save maybe 2-3 people.

Loss Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Dusty made a lot of mistakes, but he was also a creative guy who understood wrestling. Plenty of both good and bad with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
