X-Pac 1, 2, 360 Recap w/ Kevin Sullivan – DX Returns, Survivor Series Booking, Why Promos Shouldn’t Be Scripted, More!

He thinks WWE did the right thing by moving forward with the Crown Jewel event, and he also gives them credit for allowing the performers to make their own decision on whether or not to go. Years ago, performers like Daniel Bryan and John Cena would have been fired if they refused to go.
Sullivan thinks today’s promos are too scripted. He points out that not everyone is going to hit it out of the park on every promo, but some performers will begin to stand out because of the creative freedom, and those are the performers who will be the most entertaining. This has been proved throughout the history of the business. Not everyone hit home runs, but guys like Dusty Rhodes and The Rock excelled and became very entertaining.

Sullivan points out that Dusty Rhodes was such a personality. He worked with Dusty for nearly three years in some capacity and never heard someone as universally loved as Dusty.
Sullivan gives his opinion on ALL IN. He points out that when he first heard that Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks were going to run a show he thought they’d do good, but when he heard that the show sold out in 28 minutes he was blown away. He gives credit to everyone on the card, and admits that he thought about Dusty when Cody won the NWA Title. He notes that Dusty would have been so proud.
That sums up this week’s episode of X-Pac 1, 2, 360. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
