It's Been A While.
I don't know if too long even describes how long it's been since I posted, I absolutely promised myself that I'd post on here as often as I can and it's been since like April since I posted. It's not like my priorities or anything have changed, I haven't stopped watching WWE, I still tweet about it all of the time and comment on Facebook and talk about it as much as I feel the need to.
In fact in the summer I watched a bit of TNA (BOOO!!)...to be fair they did have some half decent shows and did seem to care a lot more about the women's division than WWE does (of course, we've touched upon that in a previous post Diva Destruction) but what I learned is that they are basically setting themselves up to be another WCW...without the success. I also recently bought the Best of WCW Monday Nitro DVD's from WWE Home Video UK and was actually disappointed that, back in the day, I paid too much attention to WWF and didn't bother to watch WCW at all. There were some really interesting segments and some matches that I really enjoyed on the 2 DVD sets, it makes me wonder that if TNA ever got the financial backing and audiences that WCW got would they ever be serious competition for WWE? Taking in to account the fact that WWE is now a globally recognized media brand with virtually endless funds and connections. Anyway, I stopped watching TNA after about a month, I think I might be a curse, because I'd heard from a friend that TNA was getting really good and had better programming than WWE most weeks, then as soon as I started watching it, it just turned into absolute shit. What bothered me most is Aces and Eights, I really don't understand what was going on there at all, Bubba Ray Dudley as World Heavyweight Champion? Bitch please.
Also, The Wyatt's arrived on the main roster! I was impressed with the Wyatt's in NXT and really enjoyed watching them, I think they definitely give off a Manson family vibe which could definitely be both controversial and successful at the same time. While everyone on Twitter seems to be raving about Bray Wyatt, I've always been more impressed with Luke Harper, he just has a look of a real scary dude, and that works in his current gimmick but it worries me what they'll do with him when the Wyatt family finishes. He's a very solid worker for a big man and can go with the best of them, I also really like the "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!" thing he does during matches, it won't be long before that's printed on t-shirts.
The whole "Authority" angle is really boring me now, the IWC have begged for so long for a heel Orton and now they have him and they're still bitching, I, personally, preferred him when he was a face, I think his character had developed so well he was more in touch with the wider, younger audience than any other superstar (except maybe Sheamus, and of course Cena). The decision to turn him heel came at a good time when Daniel Bryan was making his claim to be the top face in the company while Cena was out for "six months". But that all ended when Cena came back and now I'm worried that Bryan will be dropped like a bad habit, it seems that Bryan's world title pursuit is over and now they're pushing him to the secondary main event in a feud with the Wyatt Family. It's certainly not a good idea, a worker as solid as Bryan should be in the main event and holding the title (for longer than 3 minutes, or 23 hours) but now that Cena is back they have the two top stars that HHH wants (Cena and Orton) as well as HHH himself and Steph taking the spotlight away from every other wrestler, and belittling as many of them as they can. It's really pissing me off and I just hope that somewhere down the line Bryan steps up again and can hold the title for a decent amount of time, he can be the new Bret Hart and carry the business into a new era, but to do that he needs the torch passed to him, he was given the opportunity to make a name for himself and Vince/HHH/Steph (whoever) mustn't have thought he worked as a top star, resulting in HHH burying him every single week. I really hope he gets another big push soon (maybe a Royal Rumble win) because he really does deserve it.
Anyway, I have Uni work to do, which I should really get back to,
So until next time,
Holla, Holla!
