I really hate Summerslam getting such low numbers, it's a modern classic with two amazing and classic storylines/matches. When I get some spare cash I will get the DVD, so hopefully the DVD sales will be great for it. We live in a world where Honey Boo Boo is popular. Popularity is hardly ever indicative of quality.

The current "best for business" storyline has elevated not only Daniel Bryan, but also Cody Rhodes, The Usos and Big Show. They were all spinning their wheels in mid-card mediocrity before this storyline, and now people lose their s*** when those guys show up. I'd say they've hardly booked themselves into a corner. If anything, they can continue to elevate more faces by installing them into this angle.

The numbers don't surprise me though. It's only for the hardcores as it's so easy to see events for free, especially after the fact. That news about Ziggler pisses me off. Is anyone a draw? The gates can't be attributed to individuals any more. People pay to see WWE not wrestler A. It's a structure they've made. Something they've been working toward ever since Brock left. They purposely don't want anyone to transcend the business any more, for some stupid reason. Not only that but they constantly put the right guys in the wrong roles. Ziggler would be great as the jokey smart ass face they tried booking Sheamus as. I have no idea what they were trying to do with Ziggs.

So a couple weeks ago, AJ Lee was a mark for actually caring about winning a title...but this week, they're doing a title change solely to get a real emotional reaction on Total Divas? Oh, this wacky world of wrestling!

A viable storyline for Total Divas, and it may be being built, would be to have the happy ending show where Bryan and Brie Bella win the titles on the same night. Bryan still has to get his “real” win of the title. It’s just a question of when, and what they do with him after. Having his established real-life girlfriend win on the same night would make for a good moment on both shows, and there’s no reason not to do it. I could think of a few reasons. Here's one: How about actually booking the storyline as it natuarally goes along instead of catering to "Total Divas".

Yeah, that only works if people actually liked Brie Bella as a wrestler. The WWE needs to stop kidding themselves into thinking that Total Divas good ratings translates to more interest in the divas on the show. Have Brie win the title then Kharma's music hits... Everybody wins. I'd rather not have Brie involved at all, and just have Kharma feud right away with AJ.

Are people that afraid of being an idiot? It's pretty easy not to tweet like a prejudice moron.

I'm perfectly fine with pretending that Total Divas and WWE exist in 2 separate kayfabe universes, and as such, one show should not ever be brought up by the other.

Sad Dolph Ziggler isn't doing anyone any favors.
Come on WWE. Fix this!

Sad Dolph Ziggler isn't doing anyone any favors. Come on WWE. Fix this! I can't help but feel bad for the guy, I know it's a business and all. But that man has put in serious work over the last couple of years, taking wild bumps and having a large collection of awesome TV matches, and it seems all it's got him is "well you can lose to this guy now!" And now he seems visibly bummed out, besides the Cleveland Raw where he actually got to win a match for once. But even then "however, still US Champion, Dean Ambrose!" and his music just cuts off, lol. I really hate Summerslam getting such low numbers, it's a modern classic with two amazing and classic storylines/matches. When I get some spare cash I will get the DVD, so hopefully the DVD sales will be great for it. We live in a world where Honey Boo Boo is popular. Popularity is hardly ever indicative of quality. Much of the time, popularity is indicative of quality, just in an inverse fashion.

It's almost like this all could be avoided by simply opting not to say stupid shit on the internet.

Maybe if AJ and CM Punk really are dating now, they can be on Total Divas along with the other main event couples. And Kharma and her boyfriend/husband(?) could be on there too.
