This whole crap with the evil bosses. Yes, heels are supposed to make you boo them, but heels (wrestlers in general) are supposed to make you want to watch the next episode or buy the next PPV. Well, I don't want to do that. For the first time in over 20 years of watching wrestling, I don't want to watch WWE.
This angle makes me mad just thinking about it. It's not compelling at all, not entertaining at all, and it's a little stupid. Not only that, it's completely one-sided, there's nothing for the faces to hang their hat on. Why should there be any hope that they'll win in the end? There's nothing, absolutely nothing, to indicate that.

This is the first time I've been excited for each new RAW in ages.
So maybe we can admit that your statement might be a bit hyperbolic or, perhaps, people have individual tastes.
Also, "There's nothing to indicate that the faces will win" Well, logic? There's that.

"This is the worst storyline of all time."
Even for hyperbole, this isn't even close to being true.

Honestly I'm extraordinarily bored with evil bosses in wrestling in general, but it seems like something that unfortunately will never ever go away, not from WWE, not from TNA, not from the tiniest, most podunk indy feds.

I have no confidence that anything good will come out of this... |

I think that the WWE burns through storylines way too quickly so I am nowhere near getting bored with seeing what depths Hunter and co will sink to. I hope that things continue just like this for at least 2 more months.
And it makes perfect sense because Hunter has gone mad with power in part because the last time he was in charge he tried to be a nice guy and he got thrown out.
Also I think that this storyline is crazy entertaining.

It's a relentlessly oppressive environment, especially compared to the heel bosses of years past. The revolution will be an awesome way to put a bunch of young faces over.

I actually like it quite a bit. HHH is a natural heel, Orton's finally being given something to do and Bryan is getting a huge reaction every night.

When you think there is no way for the face(s) to prevail, yet they somehow do at the end of the day? Would you prefer {Spoiler} Cena wins ? |

It's darkest before dawn. The moment the revolution explodes, it'll be worth all the early heel wins.

the constant watching by the wrestlers and the Iron clad contract that traps Big Show not WWE makes it the worst

Zero progression in 3 weeks is killing any interest I had, and I suspect most of the audience is going to tune out soon if they don't do something.

Keeping this trend up then...
I'm torn. The stuff with Cody and Ziggler I think worked a lot, and Orton is doing a good job of coming off as a condescending prick.
The Triple H / Big Show / Bryan stuff though... This is shit. Like, pure shit, and every show for the past three weeks has had the exact same ending, except this week where we get Big Show being melodramatic as possible and looking like he was trying to pass a kidney stone. Plus in general Bryan just looked like a chump - everyone talked about how he was hopeless against Big Show, he got his ass kicked and was completely as his mercy, and then he just got beaten down, again.
And he came off as a serious asshole in the segment with Big Show to boot. Still, at this point this storyline as it relates to the company as a whole is interesting to me, but everything relating to Bryan is complete trash.

I think it's an excellent storyline and well booked so far. Although I do think they need Bryan to get one up on The Corporation soon otherwise some of the casual fans may get impatient.
Have Bryan corner Triple H and maybe lock the Yes Lock on him for a while before Orton and the Shield drag him off a split second before Trips taps. That way Bryan gets one-up on Trips, the fans get something to pop for, it can lead to Triple H actually being scared of Bryan (if Trips ego allows him to show weakness), will further justify Trips hatred of Bryan and will be nice foreshadowing for the end of the feud when Bryan finally makes Triple H tap out.
Also Bryan costing Orton a match would be a nice way to give him a little victory. He should be the underdog but, he does need the occasional victory to please the fans rather than getting beat down every week.

I fast forwarded the last five or however many minutes. I'm already dead tired of this crap with Big Show.

Sailed right the f*** over that damn shark.
Pussy Big Show? Bullshit. Bryan left laying YET AGAIN? Bullshit. Gotta be at least the 4th time that's happened since the storyline started. He has to get some type of victory, or else people will start to lose interest.
This is the first week where I felt like this storyline is going to be screwed up sooner rather than later.

It doesn't matter how I feel about it, because it's what's BEST FOR BUSINESS!!
No but really, other than the same ending 3 weeks in a row, I don't really mind it.
