 What's good Josh boros back again with another video, so I was thinking about this the other day And I kind of wanted to make a video about it and kind of get your guys thoughts and opinions on if you you know How do you feel about this particular topic? is the the chase for the title in a sense for a babyface always better than the actual title reign like is the chase for the championship Usually the better outcome than when the person actually wins the championship and then people kind of You know don't really care as much and I've had to really think about this like All out of all the times I wanted a particular wrestler to win the championship when they actually won the championship Did I care much about their title reign afterwards? and the first person I instantly thought of and uh is um Daniel brian At the height of the yes movement. I think it was one of the most craziest things we had seen Recently in wwe at that time and The chase for it was fantastic the build for it was fantastic in the sense of Daniel brian The ultimate babyface underdog trying to overcome the authority and everything that the authority was throwing at him And at the time the shield they were heels they were working for the authority So they were throwing everything at this man And he was always trying to overcome it The whole storyline of you're just a b plus player like that can That resonates with people who go to a nine to five and and dealing with someone like a boss That just doesn't value them. They value them as nothing more than b plus They don't value them as as someone that could that can really contribute They just you know look at you as like a a role player and you can relate to that So that story was so good and every time he got screwed You wanted to see him overcome it prime example when he finally beat When he went at uh summer slam that year He beat john seno. It was a great moment Then triple h screws him pedigrees him Randy yorking cash is in on him and it was one of the craziest Endings to a pay-per-view I had seen in a quite some time up to that point because you were at this ultimate high They had to confetti and everything and then triple h screws him And they reinforce you're just a b plus player. That's it. I love that So now the yes movement is super hot. It's a fever pitch. You want to see him win You had to go through all these hoops and obstacles. He wasn't even a part of the royal rumble match that year fans Destroyed that royal rumble that year. They didn't really care about it. Like he wasn't even a part of it He had to go through hoops just to get the match at wrestle mania 30 He ends up beating triple h then ends up getting injured by him And then he ends up winning the triple threat match and it was an amazing moment And now we're like, okay, we're at this super huge high What's gonna happen and then he ended up getting injured He had to relinquish the belt so we don't know If that high would have stayed that way and I feel like a lot of times especially just in storytelling Wanting the the the good guy to win and when they finally do win Now is what happens afterwards It's usually, you know, it's a good moment But due to do the person that's watching the movie or watching the story Are they invested now that this person has achieved that goal that they've been fighting for? And where does the downfall come? You know, and we never got to see the downfall of that Obviously because you know, he had to relinquish the belt and ultimately he had to retire for a little bit You know, so it was one of those things we don't really know If his title reign would have been a success um The one I can think of where people were really happy about Another one and it is in relation to daniel brine kofi kingson kofi mania how that happened so organically And the fight for it was so good in the sense of kofi doing all he can To make sure that he's able to obtain the championship that he's always wanted to attain since he's been in the company And it's always eluded him. He was close with randy orton at one point But there was some backstage politic and a botch that caused them to de-push him So to see him get that moment over Daniel bryan You know the person that is the ultimate well at the time he was a heel But you know at one point his story was overcoming the odds and now kofi Overcoming the odds and him getting that moment and when he was beautiful And then the title reign itself like once he got to the top of the mountain. All right, this is great The title reign it didn't hit and I think this is a combination of feuds I think the randy orton feud should have been a lot better But the matches didn't really live up and also I think what hurt kofi is like We're all about the you know the power of positivity that was the thing all this other stuff You're the champ But it's like at some point you got to you know, you got to get upset You got to let go that power of positivity Not in the sense of not be positive and and you know want to continue to strive to be better But at the same time it's like you're the champion now You know people are gonna come at you you know people are gonna do whatever it takes to get that title off You and they're gonna be as disrespectful as possible So you kind of got to meet them with that edge and I think just the fuse that they had People that they had lined up for him. It just It didn't really resonate and people started to not care and I think Another good recipe to a good title reign outside of just the chase itself is good feuds Good good feuds help a championship reign To keep that momentum like imagine if Because I was looking forward to that rena yordan feud, you know what I'm saying? But the match itself the matches they had weren't really you know nothing to go home about I just felt like kofi was still in that bag of Positivity and stuff. I wanted kofi to get a little edgier and I think It also comes into play with With wwe's not they're not good at booking baby faces. They are not they are notoriously bad at booking baby faces The heels they can work but the baby faces for whatever reason they're not that good It's rare that you get a good baby face, but correctly in wwe wwe um Prime example a lot of us grew up in attitude era stone cold is the prime example He was going against Vince McMahon the corporation He you know I'm saying he was going against the rock like he's going against these powerful figures And he wanted stone cold to overcome him, but the one thing about stone cold That a lot of us appreciate it. He didn't take no bs So even his chase was great when he finally got the title It was great and he was able to maintain that intensity and that That the height for him being a champ because one They had some good opponents and good feuds lined up for him Two he's a baby face that doesn't take crap You know saying he he's not even traditionally like this good guy You know saying but at the same time people care they root for him So by by default he's like he's the anti hero. He's the anti hero It's not going to sit up here and you know saying kiss babies or nothing like that If anything he's going to flip off the baby just because you know because he can And the people are going to like that because he's the anti hero. He's not a goody two shoes So now his character didn't change You know I'm saying in a sense of like being the guy that's he has to deal with these these uh odds That are stacked up against him like okay. I'm the champ But if somebody screws me or they screws me out of a match or I get cheated Or whatever best believe i'm gonna get my revenge on them champion or not He kind of kept that same intensity as a champ and it didn't die down and I feel like sometimes When we want these wrestlers, you know these characters to get over I feel like once they get the title it's like They become extra goody two shoes and it's like they don't have that same Intensity that they had when they were trying to get it if that makes any sense And I I feel like that's sometimes how it's booked that way or whatnot because they're a baby face Or they got to act a certain way But I just feel like if you give these baby faces just a little bit of edge You know a little bit of realism like how would I feel if somebody's after my title But they start disrespecting my family I'ma get I'ma get I'ma go there with you. We bought the we bought the I'ma show you what's up. I'ma show you why I'm the champion and I'm gonna show you what's up I'm like have a little bit of that edge and it kind of keeps people Wanting to see you be champion for a while. You know, so that's just my thought process it on I feel like The a lot of the times the chase is always especially, you know In a wrestling term wrestling since a lot of the times It's not all the time but a lot of times the chase is always better than the actual actual Grabbing of the championship and actually holding it There's only a few times where the the chase and the title reign were one one in the same They were both fairly good But usually once champ like the baby face gets the title Then they start to get stale the matches and fuge don't really live up It's like the matches and feuds on the chase is Is much better because you know, you want them to get it, but they keep getting screwed out of it Now it's like they got it and they got to retain it But the matches and feuds Don't really match the energy that you would think someone that worked so hard to get the title and want to keep It doesn't match so honestly, it's a combination of booking booking when it comes to the uh The the the opposition who's going to be facing him the competitors the heels It's a combination of that. It's a combination of the baby faces Actually having a little bit more grit to them in my opinion to make you, you know, want to see them Continuously beat at the top, you know, I think it's a combination of those things as well So comment down below. Let me know. How do you guys feel about? um The chase for titles among the baby faces in wwe, you know what I'm saying? I want to get your thoughts and opinions.
