In 2010 for the WWE Title. In 2011 with Barrett's Barrage. In 2012 with Barrett's Bull Hammer. In 2013 with Barrett as Intercontinental Champion.
Every week until the end of time.

I'm tired of this.
Orton should turn heel already, and Barrett should be feuding with someone not named Bo Dallas for the Intercontinental Title.

As I said in the RAW thread, it's not even like the matches are all that good. They're fine but nothing that makes you want to see it more than once.

Orton is in the same holding pattern Sheamus was until EC last year.

I need to see them wrestle at least 10 more time before I decide my opinion.

I want Orton to squish people again- Brad Maddox, Hornswoggle, popcorn vendor, anybody that talks too much on the mic. He could be the new three minute warning.
I reserve my right to hate Bo Dallas until a later date. If he wins the title out of this story arc, I will vomit though.
Justin Gabriel has nothing to do, and has history and a reason to feud with Barrett. Likewise, Alex Riley has nothing to do. I'm not sure if they'd put on a good match, but it's different.

It's the Kofi/Ziggler of 2013.

I wonder if this is leading to a Bo Dallas mentor storyline.
Orton will be like a big brother to Bo, until one or the other turns heel.
Then Orton squashes Bo at Wrestlemania. It may sound like a joke, but I think it would work. It gives Randy something to do, Bo exposure (not that I would want him to have any, but the company apparently does) and it would fit your squash for Mania.

Both guys have been spinning their wheels since 2011. Barrett reinvented himself, and they never capitalized on it. Orton's...Orton. They probably did that match tonight since Jericho won the fan poll to face Punk.

I think it was called Legacy. |

Gabriel/Barrett needs to be done yesterday. Riley/Barrett might not put on a good in terms of "teh workratez", but Riley is such an energetic worker that if booked properly and given time, he could really put on a solid match with the right opponent. I don't like Riley as a low card jobber, but I admit that he's actually really damn good at selling, psychology, facial expressions, and generally playing face in peril. He's a good jobber, but he should be on TV more jobbing to higher profile opponents. He should at least be added to the Wheel of Aggression rotation, because he'd probably put on a better match than Santino, Kofi, etc. Or why not put Barrett against Ryback? The guy needs something real to do aside from just meaningless matches because his push got screwed up. Let them feud for the IC belt an make it look important. Or how about The Miz? Instead of having Miz go after the glorified European Title, why not let him go after the IC Belt and let him and Barrett have an epic feud to put the belt over. |
