WWE RANT - POST OPINIONS?

[Gohankaiy]

1. Last weeks Raw. So many things wrong. First off the start off the show...Why is the World Heavyweight title match THE FIRST MATCH? I don't understand this. The main event was Rey Mysterio vs. Kane (Which was actually more interesting to me from the begining), but the point is the World Heavyweight Title is supposed to trump everything. (Issue with the match, Y2J sold horribly within the match. Looked completly fake -_-). Also, why was there like nothing said beforehand by CM Punk? He was a world Champ for months, and he get's one shot back...loses by "bad luck", and get's absolutly no mic time for a championship HE DID NOT LOSE. I understand they want to set a rivalry with Orton, but this is not the way to go about it.

2. Continuing on Last weeks Raw - Why did it take so long for HBK to come out? Don't say it was for suspense, because that does not seem to be the reason. I didn't like the Promo either. HBK is probably the best promoter the WWE ever has had, and it just didn't do anything for me. I liked the announcement, but I don't like the way it was brought up. Last week he doesn't even make an appearance, doesn't comment on Y2J becoming champ...They went in the wrong direction here. Trust me, I love the HBK - Y2J Rivalry, I really do. Amazing promo's, both are great in-ring performers, but the writing from WWE has gone down the drain.

Evan Bourne - Yes, I like this push. ECW star teams up with Rey Mysterio. His Physical appearance doesn't scream Main event at me, tbh he looks more like a member of the Backstreet boys than a WWE superstar. But he is great in the ring, and has one the best Shooting Star Presses I've ever seen. I really like this push, and would love to see a tag team with Rey Mysterio as they work really well together.

The Colons - So the new Carlito look that everyone was talking about (The reason why supposedly he was off for so long, preparing a new look or gimmick)...Is just a pair of Pants? I like Carlito, and his gimmick and the Colon's should make an interesting tag team in the horrible tag team division.

Zack Ryder + Curt Hawkings - Are these not the worst tag team champions in the history of the title? I personally thought during the "La Familia" storyline they gained the titles way too late. I don't even remember how many time's they've defended the titles. They're supposed to defend the titles 2 weeks from now against the Colons so hopefully they can build a storyline because at the moment they're not doing ANYTHING with the gold.
Disclaimer - Most People here will be a neausance and say "If you don't like the WWE, don't watch it", Why? Can't I not like something, yes disagree with other things? I do in face like the WWE but it's not perfect. And that's what makes it great. If it was truly perfect, it wouldn't be as fun to debate, now would it . Just post opinions, on what I say, that's all I ask. And twice people have told me "Well if you could do better, why don't you?". If I had connections, or requirements I would love to be a writer for a wrestling promotion. This does not mean to link me to some site, for some fake online promotion.
To Donovan -

First off for the edgeheads Zack and Ryder. They are the current tag team champions. They have not been running with edge for a while now. They've held the title for like...2 months now? Worst champions.

The Carlito thing you do make a point. He was having no impact whatsoever, and sticking him w/ Primo can't hurt. What I was saying though is that the reason behind his time off was supposedly for a new gimmick, and after about 2-3 months off he's back just as he left.

It should not matter whether people care more about Kane-Mysterio than Punk-Y2J. The point is how can ANY WWE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE not be the main event match of the night. Even if it was the main event for the first hour...but to start off the show??

I agree with you on the HBK looking weak at his unsanctioned win. I just think the way the storyline has gone since the second he won the match has gone downhill.
By the way, I never used the word boring. You did.

 

[Donovan T]

There's a difference between disagreeing on something and nitpicking. However, I'll give you my opinion and the way I see some of these things, even though I didn't watch RAW or SmackDown recently...

1. WWE probably assumes more people care about Kane and Mysterio than CM Punk and Jericho (namely the CM Punk part). Haven't you noticed that CM Punk has barely main-evented on any episode of RAW since becoming champion, and the few times he did, he lost? It's obvious that CM Punk is disregarded in comparison to others.

2. I think you're over-analyzing on this one. Though you may have a point with HBK not commenting, it's not that serious, and the rivalry was bound not to be ended anyways, regardless of whether they lash at each other or not every week. HBK looked weak as is with his "unsanctioned" match win, but then Jericho strangely has enough power to participate in the main-event.

3. Evan Bourne is liked by a lot of people. There's very few that don't like his push. He's all-around talented, and his direction is good. I hope WWE doesn't destroy his momentum.

4. It's not that serious to nit-pick at this. He was getting nowhere as is, and placing him in a tag team with Primo Colon will help him get involved with whatever show he's on.

5. How can they be boring if WWE DOESN'T USE THEM?! They're the tag team champions, yet they just run around with Edge and get beat up by The Undertaker. Does that make sense?? They look bad because they aren't used as tag team wrestlers as opposed to jabronies/lackeys.

**You have a point with Hawkins and Ryder, but "boring" is the wrong word in this instance, espcially when they aren't even on television much. If anything, they are underused (though I'm not big on them really) to the point that people don't even care about the team. That's the difference between Hawkins/Ryder and a former Tag Team Champion team like Miz/Morrison.

I agree it shouldn't matter which storyline is more popular, but WWE's always been about what is more popular with the fans watching, not to mention that they're trying to make their show less predictable in set-up and actual matches. But like I said before, I don't think the WWE is that big on CM Punk as a character. A lot of his matches on RAW were usually around the middle of the show rather than the main-event.

**Saw that in another question and got it confused here. But even still they're not the worst champs I've seen.

I don't get why the WHC match was at the begining of the night, they should've had the Rey/Kane match at the beginning of the night. They should've gave Punk some mic time, so he could at least plead his case on how he lost the title unfairly.

HBK did take a little too long to come out and the promo wasn't great. I think he should've came out with the ladder himself, instead of the worker guys bringing it to him. And it's wierd that he wasn't on RAW the week before and didn't have any comment on Jericho being champ.

Onto Evan Bourne, I agree with you that he doesn't partically have the look of a main eventer just yet, but I don't see why you think he looks like he should be in a boy band. Everything else I agree with you and I think he'll be a great WWE superstar for some time now.

The Colones? I'm very exited about this tag team, although I don't really understand, on Primo's debut match on RAW, he told Adamle that Carlito was a jerk and no one in his family like him, but now they get along great? And Carlito's look, he had put his hair in cornrows for a while, I don't know why he changed his hair back to the fro. Other than that, all he changed was a pair of pants and taped gloves (I think.). Not to mention he looks a lot like Ricky Ortiz on ECW now.

Hawkins and Rider worst tag champs in a while? I totally agree. I don't think they've even defended the title once, they haven't had any mic time, they arn't selling good as heels and now that they don't have the La Familia, I think they'd do better as their debut gimmick, The Major Brothers.

Great rant, I almost agree with you 100%.

Raw wasn't that bad and trust me the HBK suspense thing was amazing. My heart felt like bursting out with tension.

Incredible though at Unforgiven, lots of people were complaining that HBK/Y2J feud was just a normal feud and would never get a title feud. Now just one PPV later they're having a Ladder match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

I like Evan Bourne a lot. He is very skilled but will never be pushed very far due to Vince's fetish for only big men becoming the top superstars eg. John Cena or Batista. And the Colons look like a good tag team and possibly future tag team champions.

 

[The Dragon (RAW)]

Debates are fun. If everybody agreed on everything, this section would be very dull.

1. It is not uncommon at all to have a big match open the show. It's supposed to set the stage for the rest of the show. RVD was often a "curtain jerker" because he was so exciting to watch in the ring. It gets the fans pumped up for the rest of the show.

But I agree about the opening match on RAW. Jericho was not "up" for it and seemed to just be going through the motions. Punk is seemingly forgotten now; proof that he was just an interim champion, somebody to carry the belt around until the "real" stars get back. Shame. Punk's a great performer and deserves better.

From what I've heard and read, the WWE is letting Jericho and Michaels pretty much write their own storyline in this feud. These two are amazing performers but Monday wasn't one of their better efforts. The Ladder Match title shot was kind of anti-climactic. No surprise at all.

Rey and Evan would make a great team. A fast-paced high-flying team we haven't seen since London and Kendrick. A big-name veteran teaming with an exciting newcomer could inject some much-needed excitement and enthusiasm into the sorry state the tag-team division is in now. And Evan can learn a lot from Rey.

Maybe having his brother around will inject some life into Carlito. For how long have we seen Carlito just going through the motions? The match with his brother saw Carlito putting out more effort than we've seen from him in a long long time. The Colon brothers have the talent to be a great team. But does Carlito want it?

Ryder and Hawkins were built up incorrectly. From the face Major Brothers to no-name heel flunkies and lookalikes for Edge to the now heel Tag Champs nobody cares about. The WWE should have pushed them as the face Major Brothers, or brought them in as the heels they are now. Being the "Edgeheads" derailed any momentum they could have built. I will be surprised if anybody roots for them against the Colons, or is even bothered in the least when the Colons take the Tag Titles from them.
