I actually forgot all about Sting using it No idea who the chubby Japanese guy is though. The late Shinya Hashimoto, who had one of the most epic themes you'll ever hear.

Very simple explanation. They genuinely like Del Rio and they begrudgingly give Bryan television time. Of course Del Rio wins clean via submission.

ADR is the most boring character in WWE. I wish they'd attempt to re-package him before continually shoving him down our throats.

One is incredibly unover and couldn't get the reactions the other got in his main event time in his dreams, and also isn't as talented.

Bryan and Kane have one of the hottest angles in WWE at the moment and both men are insanely over, especially Bryan. He shouldn't be a sacrificial lamb for anyone at this point, let alone a guy who can't get over to save his life. It reminds me of them feeding Rey Mysterio to A-Train.

He's got one note and has since he showed up. NOTHING about him has changed or evolved, and he wasn't that interesting to begin with.

He's got one note and has since he showed up. NOTHING about him has changed or evolved, and he wasn't that interesting to begin with. Exactly! What is ADR's character? Seriously think about it. He's a rich man from Mexico....that's about it. And aside from the fact that he drives expensive cars into the arena and has a personal ring announcer, you wouldn't even know he's rich. I really can't remember he even bragged about it. JBL always threw his money in people's faces and Ted Dibiase had several promos about his money and stuffed money into his unconscious opponent's mouths. ADR hasn't really changed since he debuted, save for the fact that he's more 'aggressive' the WWE's buzzword for generic. If you're going to have him on TV, beating popular/more over guys then give him something to make the fan's care. Because right now, his announcer is fair more entertaining than he is and that is NOT a good thing.

At this point, I think they should keep the brand split, but just fully embrace that SmackDown is the lesser show and move all the upper carders to RAW officially and move the likes of Santino, Ryder, and Tensai to SD officially.

The ppv vignette he did where he's hanging around his mansion and had Ricardo wait on him was great. Why can't we have more of that? Is it really hard for him to buy people off? How about shoot vignettes where he's doing stuff like playing golf, eating cavier, or other rich guy things?

I like to imagine this is how Smackdown booking went:
Vince: "So what we should do is have Del Rio beat Bryan clearly."
(Insert random booking person here): "I don't know Vince, Del Rio hasn't been getting reactions at all, and Bryan is one of the most popular guys out there."
Vince: "Well, today is opposite day!"
Random: "But it was opposite day yesterday, too. And the day before...."
Vince: "SHUT UP! MAKE IT HAPPEN!"

Very simple explanation. They genuinely like Del Rio and they begrudgingly give Bryan television time. In other words, the complete inversion of how the fans feel.

This was the infamous Divas segment:
In Booker T's office, Layla and Kaitlyn were babbling about how Eve must've injured Kaitlyn, and Teddy Long says that Aksana said that she saw a blond wig in Eve's bag. Eve then showed up, and said she just found a blond wig in Teddy's bag. Eve put the wig on Teddy, which the live crowd thought was hilarious. Booker, Layla and Kaitlyn left, and Teddy asked why Eve why she was doing this to him because he's innocent. Eve said she's also innocent.

If you're going to feed a popular star to someone, it should be someone who actually gets good reactions. It's just stupid booking, whether it hurts anyone or not.

Somehow, that just don't click, Eve. The man is 65 and has had a "heart attack." He ain't beatin' down nobody, let alone somebody as built as Kaitlyn, woman or not.
