We let WWE groom us for so long into believing you're not a main eventer and world champion, you don't matter. Do people buy into Alberto Del Rio as a main eventer? They did for a short while before the rose came off of the bloom. Now he's just a non-important cog who is a multi-time world champion who won't go away from the main event picture . If you can't be over with the crowd without being perma-stuck in the main event picture and world champion, it was never meant to be be. CM Punk, Jericho, Edge, and others spent time out of the main event picture and still maintained their overness. Punk had a World title feud with Batista where he was treated as lesser than Big Dave. He lost against Chavo freaking Guerrero in a feud for the ECW title. He spent years going up and down the card losing sometimes in quick matches against guys like Cena. Yet he stayed over. If Bryan is truly over and not because he has a chant worthy catchphrase, he will stay over with the crowd no matter his place on the card. And no matter how much we wanted to believe it, Bryan was not going to become the face of WWE. Just like no one took the number one spot from Hogan during the Hulkamania era. Savage and Ultimate Warrior may had been WWF champion but they were never truly the Man. Even when Hogan was not in the picture, he still was treated as the man. Cena is the Man. Everyone else are his supporting players. Others may get a shot to play quarterback, but Vince McMahon is going to go back to his Tom Brady because of his track record. Wait. Hold on. Didn't Tom Brady only get his job because Drew Bledsoe SUFFERED AN INJURY....and then the Patriots opted to stick with him? Or, I'll spin it differently. If Vince McMahon has Tom Brady (John Cena), why the hell did he ever bother drafting Andrew Luck (Daniel Bryan) and giving him the reps at all?

As long as sor is kept in the basement tied up, mouth taped shut, and with a constant playing of "Real American" through headphones, I think we could handle it.

It was always going to end with HHH vs Big Show as the core of the storyline. Even Randy Orton (as HHH clearly stated) is only a placeholder who carries HHH's title for him. The "he's a B+ player" promos probably reflect the real life view of Daniel Bryan that WWE management holds. It was inevitable that he'd eventually be sidelined and marginalised. WWE never saw Daniel Bryan's popularity as a new rising star who would headline in the long term, but rather a passing fad they they really don't need anymore now that John Cena, the symbol of the status quo, is back. And this is why I have not tuned in since Summerslam. What a damn shame.

Isn't the money in the babyface chasing for the title? Maybe...just maybe...Daniel Bryan wins the Rumble and gets his "WrestleMania" moment by winning the title in the main event of WM 30. Is the conclusion of every major storyline going to be pushed out until Wrestlemania then? Because if that's the case, it sets a really awful precedent for those few times of the year where it ISN'T Wrestlemania season. And, yeah. None of this is surprising.

But no, you guys. He made a mistake once! He's changed! No really!
He's grown up and matured since that one mistake he made!
Leave him in there.

Eight-man tag from CHIKARA King of Trios 2012. As it's called in my circle of indie friends "THAT Eight Man Tag".
I call it 3.Osaka vs. A very Old and Moldy episode of the Art of Wrestling.
3.0 (Scott Parker & Shane Matthews), Ebessan & Takoyakida vs. Colt Cabana, Darkness Crabtree, Johnel Sanders & The Swamp Monster (w/Chuck Taylor, Drew Gulak & Orange Cassidy)

Can we just have a singles feud between Storm and Robbie E?
That'd actually be actual fun.

Complaining about weekly wrestling television containing mostly promos and non-wrestling segments.
Because apparently, wrestling TV only just started being like this a month ago.

He'll come back, beat del Rio, survive Sandow's attempted cash-in, interject himself into the WWE Title match, win that, and leave again.

WWE is in a bind. They can't really say that it's the booking, since it's not like it would even make sense in kayfabe. They also can't really pretend it isn't happening, as people shit on that, too. Kayfabe, it 100% makes sense for him to say people resent his success, and it's even true, to a degree. It does not mean they are jealous of him, it means that they'd prefer Punk, Mysterio, etc, receiving Cena's success, whoever it is that they favor. Are we going to play dumb and act like that isn't a factor? Would I prefer if Cena was booked better? Of course I would. WWE doesn't really have many options here, though. They have to address the boos, and there aren't any easy fixes for this. This was clumsy, but it wasn't a travesty, either. Don't take it so personally. One question. How could John Cena possibly be booked any better?

I hate to have to call someone out on being a carny for something like cancer, but Tammy Sytch has a track record. To say the least.

Pull the plug.
I want TNA gone. TNA has been a company of shattered expectations, disappointment, and near-maddening frustration as a fan for nearly their entire time in existence.
It's not competition when the pay gap between what TNA pays and what the next largest company pays is as much as it is, and TNA doesn't even allow their talent to get indy bookings if they want without jumping through tons of hoops. Creatively, this company is so painfully inconsistent and frustrating that there's no reason to think that it will get better. They don't get the benefit of "just wait and see u guize", because they've NEVER successfully completed anything.
The talent roster has become an example of wasted effort and futility. There will ALWAYS be that WWE guy that comes up to get put over AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, who aren't "young guys" and "the future" anymore. There will always be the old should-be-retired guy that will come in and be made the main focus of the program until the next one comes along so they can feud or form a faction together. The X-Divison, TNA’s one true special commodity, is a ghost of what people remember it being because of the same tired-ass myopic mindset about how wrestling “should be” even in the year 2013.
And because TNA has been so frustratingly bad for so long, the majority of people who acknowledge its existence will always see it as a company that sucks, fair or not. TNA has become an exercise in futility, and I do genuinely want it gone. Not to laugh, but just so fans can stop suffering.
It’s not gonna get better.
