Why Paige Is The Most Dissapointing Superstar of 2014

Bo Dallas: If you were a "Boliver", It couldn't have been for long. Dallas made his main roster debut the night after Payback, and beat Kofi Kingston the next night on Raw. Dallas went on to develop a undefeated streak, but lost his first match against R Truth on The June 28th edition of Raw. The loss was pointless and really destroyed his momentum on the main roster. Dallas never recovered from the loss and went on to feud with Swagger and Henry in very forgettable matches. He eventually injured his foot in November, and hasn't been seen on the main roster since. The inspirational gimmick was a good idea for the younger fans, but having him lose after developing such a streak, was ultimately his undoing in 2014. Hopefully Dallas comes back as a face and plays into his inspirational gimmick to get the fans behind him again.

Dolph Ziggler: Another year has passed, and Ziggler is no closer to the big title then he was a year ago. Sure he has had a few runs with The Intercontinental title and was the sole survivor for Team Cena at Survivor Series, but has he really done anything this year besides that? Hopes were high for Ziggler at the beginning of the year, but all The WWE Universe to be treated to was a man continuously stuck making other talent look good in the midcard. If your not going to put the big belt on him, at least put The IC or US belt around him and allow him to establish a meaningful reign. Even a run with the tag team titles would make more sense, then just winning The IC belt and then losing again. In all honestly, The WWE needs to realize that Ziggler is a star, and give him another chance. Letting him have a microphone a bit more wouldn't hurt either.

Batista: You would think winning The Royal Rumble and Headlining WrestleMania 30 would keep you off of this list, but unfortunately for Bootista, that's not the case here. Batista was doomed to fail from the minute he stepped back into the squared circle. He didn't succeed in capturing the title at WrestleMania, and soon joined Orton and Triple H for a Evolution reunion to battle The Shield. Nothing The Animal did this year was memorable. That's not necessary his fault, he was just outshined by the rising star that was Daniel Bryan. Batista making his return during Daniel Bryan's mega push was just a mistake to start with. The fans were too interested in seeing Daniel Bryan finally capture the title that had eluded him since Summerslam, not see a returning star come back for one more WrestleMania moment. I hope the WWE rewards Batista in the future for helping put over Bryan, but with the way things turned out during his 2014 run, I doubt Batista will even want to come back.

Cesaro Where did things go wrong for Cesaro? He had one of the most requested signature moves in all of wrestling, He won The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 30, and he even became a "Paul Heyman guy." He also competed in The Elimination Chamber match for The WWE World Heavyweight champion, where he was elimated by John Cena. All of these variables should have spelled succesus for The Swiss Superman in 2014, but The WWE seemingly kept changing plans for Cesaro. It started when Cesaro won the Battle Royal at WrestleMania, after turning on his Real American teammate, Jack Swagger. in a pre show fatal four way match for The Tag Team Titles. The next night on Raw, Cesaro fired Colter as his manager, and quickly allighed himself with Paul Heyman. This relationship allowed for him to develop heat, by his manager resorted to cheating, to help Cesaro win. The WWE made the mistake of having Cesaro lose to Sheamus at PayBack, leaving Cesaro with a loss only one month after his big win at WrestleMania 30. The fall from grace continued, as he lost The Money In The Bank ladder match for the vacated WWE World HeavyWeight title a month later. Im not saying i expected him to win that match, but The WWE could have a least put in a better finish, that would benifit him as well. Cesaro continued to collect losses from superstars like Big E. Langston, Jack Swagger, Heath Slater and John Cena. With the partnership going nowhere and Brock Lesnar's return on the horizon, Heyman and Cesaro parted decided to part ways. The loss of Heyman was a huge hit to Cesaro's character, who would now have to struggle as a singls competitor in the midcard once again. Cesaro continued his losing streak, with a United States Title loss to Rob Van Dam during The Summerslam Preshow. The two competed for The U.S Title again in a two out of three falls match at Battleground, but Cesaro lost in consecutive falls. With everything The WWE has tired, one has to wonder if anything will revive this once surging career. He definatley is in need of a mouthpiece, like Lana is for Rusev. He also needs a completly new gimmick. He can keep his moves and style, but he needs a character that will bridge the gap between him and the audience. Most of all, he needs The WWE Creative team to believe in him. Every time i saw Cesaro wrestle on TV, i was amazed at how exciting his matches were. He could dream up moves and scenarios in matches, that i think no one else could. Hes quick, athletic, and very strong despite his size. His close match with Cena comes to mind when i think of his best matches. The way he hit that suprise upper cut on Cena just proves that he is capable of telling a fantastic story inside the squared circle. I think the best thing to do for Cesaro, is have him feud with Rusev, and eventually be the one to defeat him at WrestleMania 31. Cearo is a superstar in need of a big win, and what better place then The Show of Shows? The win would put Cesaro in a much better direction then what he was at the second half of 2014, and might even set him up for a run with The Tag team, U.S, or Intercontentinal titles.

Paige: She may have won The Divas title twice this year, but 2014 was still a bust for The Anti Diva. Title reigns aside, Paige suffered from a lot of misdirection storyline wise. She was played off as a scared little girl during her debut, their was little to no storyline behind most of her early title defenses, and her eventual feud with AJ Lee was lackluster and failed to live up to expectations. Paige should have been portrayed as The Anti Diva from the beginning, instead WWE just slapped a tired gimmick on her and had her compete in a battle of The Crazies, with Lee. Its bad enough that one of the most anticipated Diva feuds in WWE history was reduced to a underwhelming mess, but the fact that the company is now keeping her off TV, is just the latest in a long line of clues that WWE doesn't know what to do with Paige. As for her debut on Total Divas in January, i believe that the reality show will ruin her career. The show only serves as main stream attention for The WWE, and does nothing for The Divas. WWE literally has had diva matches in the past, just to promote the shows next episode! In fact, Nicki Bella's whole run with The Divas title seems to be just one big advertisement for the show! When I talked to a source inside the wrestling industry about Paige's chance for success while on Total Divas, he told me, "that the show will be the death of her wrestling career. " He also told me that," Paige's career has been mishandled since the beginning of her main roster debut. The WWE changed her character from a perfect formula, that had worked so well in NXT, to a watered down babyface with no direction on Raw. If she ever wants to have any chance of reviving her career, she needs to drop out of Total Divas once the first season is over."

Rollins Failing To Cash In and Four Other Predictions For 2015

The Rock Will Return at WrestleMania 31: There are just too many enticing possibilities for this prediction not to be true. The rock's last appearance on WWE TV, was when he confronted Rusev, and then rock bottomed him to end out the segment. Rock versus Rusev would be a great match to help build the career of the young Russian, but with The Rocks injury at WrestleMania 29, it would seem unlikely that he would be able to have a blockbuster match with Rusev. Another option would be Triple H. Triple H and The rock hinted at having one more match, during a taped segment on a special edition of Friday Night Smackdown. The two superstars argued throughout the segment backstage over who beat who during their many encounters over their careers. This would be a more realistic option for The Rock and would be made even better if it had a retirement stipulation to it. Seeing these two battle it out one more time at the show of shows will definitely be a nostalgia trip for fans of The Attitude era.

AJ Lee will not leave WWE in 2015: Call me crazy, but I think AJ Lee has a lot more to accomplish before she hangs up her Chuck Taylors for good. The Geek Goddess is only one win away from having the most Divas title reigns in the history of the company, she is one of the only consistent bright spots in a division of unestablished talent, and there are still so many possibilities storyline wise for her. Another sign that AJ Lee is in no rush to leave The WWE, was Punk's interview with Michael Landsberg, stating that "him and AJ Lee having separate careers have made their relationship stronger."

Seth Rollins will fail to cash in his Money In The Back Contract: Seth Rollins in many things, but the future isn't one of them. He does have a great ability as a heel, and can really get under fans skin when he wants to. The only problem is, he's just not someone The WWE will want at the top right now. He looks too much like the scrappy underdog, not a cocky heel capable of holding the companies top prize. Beyond not looking the part, his move set is entirely too risky for The WWE to invest long term in. We all saw what happened when WWE gave Daniel Bryan a run with the belt, and they don't want to have to deal with a issue like that again. I asked my source, Dave Boddy, what he believed would be the result of a Seth Rollins cash in, and he had this to say" A) HHH will actually cost Rollins the match...B) he will win, and then lose it ASAP. " I acknowledge Rollins will have a great future in WWE ahead of him, but 2015 just wont be his year.

Dolph Ziggler will not be in the title picture: He may be the sole survivor for Team Cena at Survivor Series and the current IC Champion, but don't expect a run with the big belt for Ziggler in 2015. WWE already has its pick for the top spots next year, and it doesn't look like Ziggler is going to be one of them. I realize that being the sole survivor for Team Cena is a huge accomplishment in Ziggler's career, but in truth, it wasn't even a clean finish! Sting interfered and helped Ziggler get the win. As for having The IC Title, he is the measuring stick of the midland. His reigns as Champion are mostly to help other superstars look good by beating The Showoff. Dave Boddy has a interesting take on this prediction stating, "Ziggler is stuck in the position where's he is at for awhile. The top three workers right now that will likely get a shot are: Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose."

John Cena will not hold The WWE World Heavyweight title in 2015: What if we lived in a world where John Cena didn't hold the companies biggest prize for a entire year? Its happened twice actually. Once in 2006 when Cena had to vacate the title due to a torn pectoral muscle. He didn't win the belt back until September 19th 2009, when he won it in a I quit match" against Randy Orton. The second time was, was during CM Punk's 343 day title reign, Cena eventually did win the title a year and a half later though in a rematch with The Rock at WrestleMania 29. The problem isn't that The WWE will be tired of Cena on top in 2015, but that their are a abundance of other stars clamoring and ready to take the top spot. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton all comes to mind as candidates. I'm not saying that Cena will not be in the title picture, I just don't think The WWE will benefit from him holding the title in 2015

Was John Cena Keeping Brock Lesnar Off WWE TV?

Chances are, if you're a WWE fan, you hear rumors about your favorite superstars on a daily basis. Some that can make you angry, some that can make you think, and of course, there are ones that just make you want to laugh.

The latter was my reaction when I was commenting on one of my friends Facebook status about wrestling. Myself and others had been commenting for hours about why fans hate John Cena so much. Some argued his gimmick was stale and that he repeatedly refuses to put over new talent, while others retaliated with, he is a huge role model for the kids.

The conversation became heated, as conversations about John Cena usually do, when a man started commenting about how he had a source inside The WWE, that stated he had first hand information of Cena making terroristic demands to WWE Creative backstage. To read the sources full claims, please click here.

 The man on Facebook then sent us three articles stating, that the finish we saw at Night of Champions, was not the original finish that was planned for the pay per view. the article went on to say that, Cena was originally supposed to lock in The STF, but Brock would fight out of it and make Cena pass out to the Komura lock after four minutes of struggling.

 The reason for the change, according to the article, was that although Cena had originally agreed to the first finish, he later asked that finish be changed, because he thought it would make his character look weak. Cena also reportedly said, that if the finish was not changed, he would quit The WWE. After hours of compromising, a new finish was reportedly written at 8:25 pm during The Night Of Champions pay per view.

 Despite the compromise, it was also reported in the article, that both Lesnar and Heyman were deeply angered by the sudden change in storyline. Brock was apparently so angry that The WWE would give into one superstars demands, that he threatened to quit The WWE as well.

It also said, that it was John Cena's idea to keep Brock Lesnar off TV and that Lesnar was originally scheduled to face Big Show at Hell in a Cell and Randy Orton at Survivor Series, but Cena wanted both of those storylines changed as well, so Lesnar would continue to stay off TV and look weak compared to Cena.

The most shocking statement from the source, was that Cena even kept Lesnar off of The Slammy edition of Monday Night Raw, by asking that The Superstar of The Year award go to Roman Reigns, instead of Brock Lesnar. The source says the reason for this, is that Cena thinks himself versus Roman Reigns for The WWE World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 31 would be better for business.

As myself and others began to take in what the articles were saying, we all came to different conclusions about the information. A few people started to bash Cena, saying he was the reason that other superstars aren't getting over in The WWE, and that The WWE is dead if Cena wins at The Royal Rumble.

Others, like myself, began to seriously doubt the story altogether, and thought the source was giving false information. This lead me to question a friend of mine named, Dave Boddy. Boddy is a former professional wrestler and keeps in contact with people inside The WWE as well. He is also the founder of the anti bullying organization, Boddy Guards United.

When asked about whether he thought Cena would actually quit The WWE over not getting the finish he wanted, Boddy stated "Nope, I do not think he would, he has invested so much of his life to just up and quit due to a creative decision. It will take more for Cena to leave."

When I asked Boddy about the possibility of Vince McMahon letting Cena bully and terrorize him into his agenda, he states that " this is not WCW. Vince has so much control on his company, there is a possibility Cena has creative control due to his dominant position, but Vince would not allow someone to cost him money."

Hours after my interview with Mr. Boddy, i found a major plot hole in the story this man had told us. I was watching Monday Night Raw, when out of nowhere Brock Lesnar's music hit. and he made his way down to the ring to confront a scared, Chris Jericho. It seemed like either John Cena failed in his attempt to keep Lesnar off TV, or the story was nothing more than a rumor.

The latter seemed to be true, as later in the night, The WWE Universe witnessed Lesnar interrupt Cena and Rollins main event cage match on Raw. The Beast Incarnate proceeded to nail Cena with several suplexes and a F-5 for good measure, as Rollins and Heyman shook hands over their secret alliance. Rollins then pinned Cena for the win.

Let's be honest. If anything that this man told us that night was true, none of what happened on Monday Night Raw would have transpired. Brock Lesnar wouldn't have appeared, Lesnar wouldn't have interrupted the cage match, he wouldn't have dominated Cena and Rollins certainly wouldn't have gotten the win that night.

 Like it or not, Cena is the torchbearer for The WWE. Like he says, the future will have to go through him, but that doesn't mean he's going to resort to tantrums and changing storylines to keep superstars off TV to stop that from happening. Cena is as excited for the future of The WWE as everyone else, and is ready to pass the torch to the next generation when the time comes. Maybe that time will come at WrestleMania 31.

 

　

John Cena Backstage News

NOTE. I did not write the below articles. The articles were given to me by a man claiming to have a source inside of the WWE Creative Team. The purpose of this post is to prove to those that read my article, that I did in actuality receive these articles about John Cena's backstage behavior, and none of my story about receiving these articles are false. The source wishes to not be revealed, so I will respect that request.

 

 

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: This contains spoilers about tonight's main event. If you don't wanna see it don't read.

My source who works for WWE just witnessed all of this first hand. I'm breaking the story here before posting it to my website.

Earlier today at a creative meeting John Cena approached Vince and some other creative members and asked for the finish of tonight's match to be changed and was told that it was a done deal. John then said " no I don't want to do it. I'm afraid if you make me job I will quit. " he then stormed off.

Creative tried to settle the dispute but Cena is set in his ways. Creative then went to Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar telling them of the incident. The champ responded " that wasn't part of our deal. Change it and I will quit as well"

As of the writing of this I don't know how the issue will play out. But if Cena wins tonight this is more than likely why. Also if he does win that would mean that unless Brock changes his mind he would be done.

I'll keep you posted. Hopefully they can work it out and go with the original plan as it would mean they would have to rewrite 7 months worth of storylines if they change it due to a hissy fit.

Stay tuned.

Original plan for Night Of Champions main event: For this that follow this website as well as my Facebook page WWE TNA Superstars you heard yesterday there was an incident backstage involving john Cena and Brock Lesnar. John basically demanding a script change or he would quit. After hours of pleading and discussions the finish you saw last night was booked at around 825.

Here is the original plan as scripted 3 weeks ago when I saw the original script. You tell me which you would have liked to see.

Brock Lesnar after being in the STF for 3 minutes powers out of the move and delivers a thunderous F5. He then locks in the Kimora lock to Cena. Cena valiantly tried to reach the ropes but is pulled back to center every time. After 4 minutes of being in the Kimora , John Cena passes out and the referee stops the match as Cena is unable to continue. Your winner via referee stoppage and still WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar. The show would have then ended with no Seth Rollins involvement.

I think the original plan was way better. What do you think?

 

BREAKING NEWS: The following article contains spoilers for TLC, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. Read at your own risk.

The information contained in this article comes from my source within WWE who witnessed all of thus go down. His/her name will not be revealed as that would breach repairer confidentiality agreement so don't ask. Just know my source is never wrong.

For months I've been following the story about the drama backstage at night of champions and how John Cena a tantrum forced the WWE to change all current storylines that were written including hell in a cell , survivor series , and beyond all the way to wrestlemania.

For those that missed the original story here's a recap. At NOC Brock Lesnar was set to win cleanly in a finish where he would lock the Kimora on Cena and the ref would stop the match when Cena passed out awarding the match to Brock. This finish was booked originally in June, all parties agreed to it and it was set. That is until the day of NOC when Cena decided he didn't want to go on with the planned finish because he thought it would hurt his character. When he asked to have a change to the match , he was told no. He then said " if you make me lose to Brock I will quit". The wwe instead of calling his bluff scrambled to re write the finish to keep all parties happy. Finally the DQ finish with Seth Rollins interfering was agreed upon at 825pm, during the PPV broadcast. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar were said to be very upset that WWE would just let one guy change everything that was promised.

Since then Cena has been given creative control of his storylines and it is because of this that Brock is being kept off tv and this alone. Brock was scheduled to defend against big show at HIAC and hometown hero Randy Orton at survivor series but this didn't happen because Cena said " I think what would be better is if Brock lays low and doesn't come back for a while". In reality it's so he can make himself look better by constantly saying "Brock isn't here. Where's the champ?" Etc. All of this hurting Brock's reputation. And why? Because fruity pebbles is afraid to let anyone else have his spotlight.

Fast forward to last night. For weeks Brock had been advertised to appear at the Slammys and the internal talk was Brock was going to win superstar of the year award mainly as a show of respect for him and more importantly the vaunted streak he broke at Wrestlemania. However with his creative control Cena decided that it would be best to once again keep Brock off tv and take his award from him in favor of roman. Why you ask? According to my source who works for wwe ( who is very influential in the company ) Cena feels the best main event for mania is him vs roman. Why I have no idea.

The original plan for wrestlemania that was written in June was for Brock to dominate the roster for months until roman won the rumble and became the conquering hero at mania defeating Brock. All parties agreed and that truly was what's best for business. Those plans however now have changed and it looks like Cena will win at tlc , effectively burying Seth Rollins as he's done with so many others in a selfish act, then have him win the title at royal rumble which would set up roman vs. Cena at mania for the strap.

Given the amount of money he brings the company, WWE reluctantly has agreed to give in to his terroristic demands.

Hustle, loyalty, respect? More like " whine cry bitch". So with these new plans in effect the company will effectively ruin a number of things they had planned due to one mans tantrum.

Seth Rollins who is the hottest wrestler in wwe right now will be buried , Brock Lesnar will be disrespected by taking away everything promised to him , Orton and big show didn't get their promised PPV main event matches and lastly Ric Flairs "unofficial" record will be tied, something the Company promised would never happen either. Good thing we all kiw the real record is 21.

In a nutshell , one selfish man is ruining the company because he doesn't wanna step aside and let other deserving individuals have the spotlight. All because he threatened to quit if he didn't get his way.

Where does this leave Brock Lesnar in all of this? According to my source as of this morning Brock is said to be " over the wwe politics" and wants to work for a company that " doesn't let one bitter person control everything". Will Brock be at mania? Likely not.

I hope WWE comes to their senses and realizes that letting the company revolve around one selfish person is bad for business. But given that they referred to fruity pebbles on raw as " the man that runs the place" I don't see that happening.

And I'm sure the fruity pebbles fans will try and defend him but if they actually read and process all this information even the Cenatards should see that this is a bitch move pulled by a bitch.

 

Why WWE Is Heading In a Positive Direction

The WWE could have done the predictable thing. They could have had their greatest superstar wrestle in the main event of the Table Ladder Chairs and Stairs pay per view on Sunday, but they instead choose to hand the show stealing match to two bright young stars.

Bray Wyatt versus Dean Ambroe headlined TLC on Sunday, and while the result saw The Eater of Worlds pick up a dirty pin on Ambrose, it is still a positive sign that The WWE is finally showcasing their younger talent in the main event.

While a Roman Reigns return to action would have been a exciting conclusion to the annual pay per view, seeing Cena in the main event for the second straight month would have most likely rubbed fans the wrong way. The fact that Rollins was unable to strip Cena of his number one contendership probably rubbed fans the wrong way as well.

WWE must have known that a Cena victory was a very lukewarm way to end the pay per view, and decided to have Wyatt and Ambrose tear down the house instead, in a classic TLC match. In fact, TLC marks only the second time this year that two NXT Alumni have headlined a pay per view.

Having a great main event wasn't the only positive for TLC, Dolph Ziggler continued his climb to the main event, with a win over Luke Harper in a ladder match, Ryback defeated Kane with a timely shell shocked and Rusev keeps his United States Title, by beating Jack Swagger with The Accolade.

Fans may still be a little bitter over Cena retaining his number one contendership on Sunday night, but we must realize, that it is a time of unpredictable change in The WWE. Not only with deserving talent being pushed and headlining pay per views, but with the title picture altogether.

Even if Cena is able to win the title back from Lesnar at The Royal Rumble pay per view, there is still the six man battle of The Elimination Chamber to look forward to. Whether fans want to acknowledge it or not, there are many variables at play in The WrestleMania title picture and many positives as well.

Fans must remember that In a mere 41 days the title picture will be turned on its head with the arrival of The Royal Rumble Pay per view. A event that will highlight the talent of 30 deserving superstars in a over the top rope battle for a chance to headline WrestleMania 31 in a title match.

If fans are not satisfied with the winner of The Royal Rumble, just remember, things can change! It was only last year that Daniel Bryan protested his way into the main event of WrestleMania 31 with Batista and Randy Orton. Bryan Ultimately won The Triple Threat match, becoming the first NXT Alumni to win the company's biggest prize.

So there you go! Things are officially starting to change in The WWE. Rising stars are headlining pay per views, new talents is being pushed, and all of this is happening right before we start on The Road to WrestleMania. I have to say. What a awesome positive and unpredictable time to be a WWE fan!

　

Statistics Show WWE Dosen't Need CM Punk

Then. Now. Forever. That is the opening graphic a fan will see at the start of any WWE broadcast, but with former WWE superstar, CM Punk, heading to UFC in 2015, Can WWE trudge along with business as usual?

The easy answer is yes. Even Punk said during his epic pipebome in 2010, that he was only a spoke on the wheel, and that The company would still make money despite itself. Of course Punk going to UFC is a bit of a blow to The WWE, but its not like things have gone completley downhill since Punks departure from the company in January.

According to Wrestlezone.com, The Monday Night Raw Ratings may have taken a small drop after Punk's departure in January of this year, but the ratings did manage to skyrocket up to near 4.8 when Daniel Bryan won The WWE World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania.

The ratings did plummit by 16% from April to May, but many experts speculate that the drop was due to WrestleMania season ending. Despite the 16% drop off during the month of April, Raw still managed to pull in about the same numbers they did in 2013 at that time.

After Raw's ratings loss in April, they began to build steadily back up to 4.3 by July of this year. The increase may be due to Rollins turning on his Shield teammates during the Summer and then winning the breifcase at Money In The Bank. Raw had slightly higer ratings at this point then last year as well.

The biggest surpise of the ratings graph, is that the ratings for August in 2013 and 2014 were almost identical to each other. That means, that their was really no diffrence in viewership during Punk and Brock Lesnar's feud in 2013, and John Cena and Brock Lensar's feud in 2014.

The ratings continued to rival each other over the next three months, while 2013 gained a slight lead by the end of October, with both years above the 3.6 rating mark. The most promising sign of the data is that, despite Punks departure , Raw's overall rating increased from 42.16 to 42.22 million so far this year.
For more information on these statistics, click this link http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/522977-wwe-raw-viewership-2013-vs-2014-analysis

Ratings may be about the same as last year, but the superstars now taking the upper slots in the company are not. In 2014 alone, we have seen the rise of Roman Reigns, Erick Rowan, Ryback, Seth Rollins Dolph Ziggler, Rusev and Luke Harper.

Instead of having pay per views constantly being headlined by the same top stars, we have seen a wonderful variety of talent take the top billings this year. We saw Daniel Bryan versus Batista versus Randy Orton at WrestleMania 31, we got Dean Ambrose versus Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell and we get Seth Rollins versus John Cena this Sunday at TLC.

We have alot of first time champions this year too, with Jimmy and Jey Uso winning The Tag team titles earlier this year, Luke Harper, who captured The intercontinental Title from Dolph Ziggler and even Rusev, who beat Sheamus for The United States Title last month.

Were not only seeing new headliners and new champions, but many deserving superstars recieving second chances as well. We have Damien Mizdow, who has been a fan favorite since becoming Miz's stunt double, Tyson Kidd, who recently returned from a stint in NXT, and even Kofi Kingston, Big E. Langston and Xavier woods, who have been repackaged as The New Day Faction.

This isnt to say that Punk was holding other superstars back, but is meant to show that despite Punk's departure, WWE will continue to create new fan favorites and luanch them into superstardom.

WWE may be worried about lowered pay per view buy rates, less then steller numbers for their WWE Network and their continously stumbling stock, but at the end of the day, WWE  has of course  made a few mistake in their journey to grow bigger then ever, but these mistakes are nothing that the entertainment giant cant come back from, with or without Punk. Whether Punk fans like it or not, one superstar does not make a company.

For those who say that WWE is now doomed to fail and that wrestling is dead. Look at The Monday Night Wars between Ted Turner and Vince McMahon in The 90's . McMahon's flagship show, Monday Night Raw, was beat in the ratings for 84 straight weeks by WCW Nitro, putting him on the verge of losing his company, but instead the billionaire changed bussiness tactics and eventually bought WCW out altogether and won The Monday night war!

　

　

　

Why The New Day Faction Wont Work

The New Day Faction may have gained some fans last Friday night on Smackdown, during their debut, but I was not one of them. No, while The WWE Universe got up and clapped their hands together to the music, all I could do was shaike my head and laugh.

I never try to be a critic of WWE. I find that is not a good use of a fans time. Its not like Vince McMahon will magically read my critique of his  product and suddenly decide to change things. To be honest. I think a majority of fans complaints are ignored.

Unfortunatly, those facts cant prevent me from venting that The New Day Faction, featuring Big E Langeston, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, is just not a good idea. Why WWE would choose to introduce a three team faction, when no other one's exist is completly insane.

If The New Day was around when The Shield and The Wyatt Family were running rough shot in The WWE, I could understand the idea to introduce another super faction into the mix, but not when their is no suitable competition for The New Day Group.

A feud with Gold and Stardust is a ok storyline to start. A stark contrast between good and evil could prove to be a great angle for the two groups, but which members will see ring time? All three members cant be in every match against a two person team, meaning that one will usually have to stand outside the ring and play cheerleader for the group..

I know The WWE can choose to do handicap matches or even introduce another teammate for Gold and Stardust, but that wouldnt really match up with The Rhodes brothers bizzareness to suddendly have a new member of their team.

On the other, i will admit that another superstar could have a disupte with a member of The New Day Faction, and join The Rhodes Brothers to settle it. Even though this seems like a good fix, i still think this idea will fail without other powerful factions around to battle against.

Think about this. The Shield ran roughshot on The WWE roster for eight straight months, all of which were some of the most exciting and jaw dropping storylines fans have seen in years, but all that became just a warm up the day The Wyatt's and The Shield began to do battle in Three Man Tag matches.

Another issue with The New Day Faction, is the odvious pandering to a African American audience that feels disenfranchised due to current events. This is WWE's lastest attempt to stay revelant and newsworthy during the countless protests from The Mike Brown shooting and other current events centering on African Americans and police brutality

I understand that the idea for this group was concieved far before The Ferguson shooting even began,  but bringing the group to the main roster right now is oddly convienient, with everything currently going on in the world around us.

Not only is it pandering to a African American demographic, its also taking away from the careers these three superstars could be having. Both Kingston and Langston are former champions, and deserve to be in title hunts, not stuck in some church gimmick clapping their hands with the audience. All this faction does is turn serious contenders into a sideshow luaghing stock.

Woods on the other hand, has his whole career ahead of him, but his career will certainly be hindered with this new gimmick. This gimmick has all the classic signs of being for bathroom break matches and midcard fillers before the main event, giving woods little chance of being able to mix it up with people higher up on the roster. All this faction does is turn serious contenders into a sideshow luaghing stock.

It may be a new day in The WWE, but it also seems like a dark day as well. A day where WWE just does not know what to do with extremely gifted superstars, and reduces them to a mid card faction to fill time inbetween matches. This gimmick will be just like Fandango's back in 2013. Popular for a while, but easily forgetable after that.

CM Punk's Interview Is Only One Side of The Story

Note. This is not a profesional opinion, but a opinion of fan of both CM Punk and WWE. I do not wish to act like I know everything, nor will I claim to know everything in the confins of this article. My thoughts are my thoughts and nothing more.

Colt Cobana's interview with CM Punk changes nothing. Yes, we now have the long awaited explanation of why one of the most polarizing figures in WWE decided to hang up his boots forever, but that dosent mean The WWE Universe will go quietly.

The WWE Universe has begged and even demanded answers since Punk made his departure from WWE in January of 2014. Now that Punk has finally broke his silence about leaving the company, or being fired as he claims, the discussion now has shifted from blaming Punk, to blaming Vince McMahon and The WWE for the stars departure.

This all stems from the multiple pipe bombs Punk dropped during the interview, including passing a concussion test, while knowing he and The WWE both knew he had a concussion wrestling for three months with a misdiagnosed staph infection that was called a fatty deposit by a WWE Dr. ,and even being put back on tv just days after Elbow surgery. He was even cleared over the phone to wrestle, without seeing a Dr. himself.

Punk also claims during the interview with Cobana, that he was suspended by WWE for two months, after he walked out, and even recieved his termination papers on his wedding day. This is after Punk claimed that he called for months to recieve his royalty checks from WWE, which the company refused to release.

Punk even says he had multiple offers on the table for sponsorships after his epic pipe bomb in Las Vegas, but was told by Vince McMahon, that he couldn't sign off on it, because it would upset other wrestlers and even anger Monday Night Raw's main sponsors  Punk then says that Brock Lesnar walked in less then three months later, with multiple sponsor deals allowed by McMahon.

A majority of Punk's rant is aimed at both Vince McMahon and the traveling WWE Dr., who kept Punk on antibiotics to treat a growth that has formed on his lower back. Punk claims to have asked for it to be cut off multiple times, with the Dr. instead electing to give Punk more antibiotics.

Now with Punk's side of the story out. The online discussion is now shifting to McMahon and The WWE's treatment of talent. While debate will surely make its way onto various websites and dirtsheets, it will have the same effectiveness as begging Punk to come back to The WWE, which we all know is none.

WWE fans are a fickle audience and this instance proves just that. We havent even heard WWE's side of the story yet, and everyone wants to just jump ship and call Punk a hero and Vince a ruthless business man, who mistreats his workers

This makes no sense! We already knew Vince was a ruthless bussinessman. We already knew the wellness policy had more holes in it then swiss cheese. We already knew that Vince favors some superstars over others, so why are we all going crazy over this.

Yes, we now have some of the grisealy details of what happens behind closed doors at WWE, but we are also missing something very crutial, WWE's side of the story on all this.Until the day comes that Vince McMahon or someone from WWE decides to shed light on this matter, i dont think the internet wrestling community can definitively decide anything.

Perception is often considered  reality, and while i am not calling Punk a liar, we have only been shown one version of reality in this interview.

Does WWE Need The Authority?

The WWE needs The Authority. That statement was proven true on Raw Monday night, as the show quickly descended into chaos after Triple H and Stephanie McMahons exit. The matches were poorly booked, storylines werent built upon, and no clear picture was set for The TLC pay per view next month.

Daniel Bryan returned Monday night as The GM for the night, and wasted no time humiliating Kane, and booking revenge matches in Team Cena's favor. The matches booked included, Mark Henry versus Ryback, who dismantled Henry in under a minute to win the bout.

Another match was Luke Harper versus Dean Ambrose for The IC Title, that match ended in disqualification, when Harper pushed Ambrose into the referee, forcing him to call for the bell. Ambrose started to go on a frenzy but was halted by Bray Wyatt, who hit him with Sister Abigail at ringside. The post match was great and definitely furthered the storyline between Wyatt and Ambrose, but did we really need a DQ victory to do that?

The main event was little more then a joke, with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury teaming up with Seth Rollins, to take on Cena and Dolph Ziggleri n a handicap match. The match itself had some fun spots for the crowd, but it was really just a matter of the babyfaces getting revenge on former authority members.

The only big storyline fans were really offered last night, was the return of the anonymous Raw General Manager. A storyline that was used before in The WWE in 2010, and majory failed, when Hornswoggle was revealed to be the one running the show.

Im not against a authority figure in The WWE. I realise good must fight with evil to make a story compelling, but there is absolutley nothing compelling about a angle that failed two years ago, and looks to on its way to failing again.

The WWE had a chance to go in so many other directions. They could have announced Sting as GM of Raw, or hell even bring back Eric Bishoff. Pual Heyman would even be a exellent choice to run the show compared to a dinging computer and a email read by Michael Cole.

Why not get rid of the The Authority angle altogether and introduce something else. Maybe bring in a new faction from NXT to ravage the main roster, or maybe even bring Brock Lesnar back and have him run roughshot on the main roster himself.

My point is, if this is the best The WWE writers can think of right now, then we desprately need The Authority back in power for awhile longer We only have one match booked for TLC next month, we have no idea when the title rematch between Cena and Lesnar will be booked, and on top of that, all the momentum that  WWE came out of Survivor Series with, seems to have dissapated.

The Authority angle may have been a annoying storyline at times, especially when The Authority would constantly screw Daniel Bryan out of the WWE Title, but at the end of the day, it told a good compelling story of fighting the system. With the anonymous General Manager storyline, we dont even know who the system is to fight it!

With all this being said, one question remains. Do you miss The Authority yet? Or are you willing to give the new General manager storyline a chance?

Life After The Authority: Who Will Thrive and Who Will Struggle If The Authority Crumbles

What would life be without The Authority? Who will have the biggeest problems without The Authority by their side, and who will flourish in their new found singles careers. This article takes a look at each member of The Authority, and what the future could hold for those who have relied on The Authorities power for far too long.


Kane: To me. Kane will have the most problems keeping himself on Tv once The Authority storyline comes to a end. The man plays the enforcer heel role so well for Stephanie and Triple H, that it seems impossible to see him doing much else. I think The WWE either needs to give him a position of power as a GM of Raw or Smackdown, or revert him back to his monster heel days. Unfortunatley for Kane, the latter option is kind of limited, becuase of The WWE's focus on more kid friendly content. He could wait for Daniel Bryan to return and recreate Team Hell No, but i think The WWE has much more interest with Bryan as a singles competitor, then helping keep Kanes career alive.


Stephanie McMahon: I really hope they somehow keep her on Telivison! Her match at Summerslam versus Brie Bella, was a amazing comeback for The Billion Dollar Princes, and honestly something alot fan wants to see more of. Maybe The WWE can do a angle with Stephanie and AJ Lee once The Authority storyline is over. The two had run ins with each other in the past few years, but nothing ever came of the confrinations. If Lee and McMahon were to fight for the tile, it would probably be one of the most memorable Diva title bouts in recent memory. The angle of Stephanie trying to crawl herself back into power would really work well, and even create the humilating situations WWE fans love to see Stephanie go through if she loses to Lee.


Triple H: No offense to The King of Kings, but he should really be a special occasion kind of thing after The Authority storyline is over. The man is legend, holding every major title The WWE has ever had. His very presence can bring The WWE Universe to their feet in areanas all around the world. Thats why The WWE needs to preserve him. We are now so used to the constant appearences from The Game on Raw and Smackdown, that we almost expect it. The WWE need to take him off TV for awhile, and bring him back at the moment fans will least expect. The man can give great matches every time he enters the ring, and thats something the WWE needs to use  sparingly for some of the more major events on the calender year, So that way when he does return, The reaction will be epic

Seth Rollins: The youngest man on this list, and a man with alot of options after The Authority crumbles. Rollins is a very gifted Dolph Ziggler type athelete, able to put on amazing matches night after night. The best thing for him would be to continue his feud with his former Shield members. Theres still alot of bad blood with that rivalry, and alot more that the fans are dying to see happen with that feud. With The Money In The Bank Contract currently in his possesion, Rollins also has a golden ticket into the upper card, and a chance to have a lenghy run with The WWE World Heavyweight Title The chance to feud with a veteran in the uppper card will also do wonders for Rollins career, establishing him both backstage and amoungst his colleagues, as someone who can help carry The WWE into the next age. Heres hoping he makes the most of every oppurtunity given to him in The WWE!

Three Ways Randy Orton Can Cost The Authority At Survivor Series

The Viper has to be out for revenge after getting curb stomped twice by his former Authority brethren. The fact that Survivor Series is taking place in Orton's home town of St. Louis  Missouri, only strengthens the idea that Orton will make things interesting for Team Authority on Sunday.  The question is, How? With careers and futures on the line at Survivor Series, where is a look at three ways that Orton can help end The Authority for good.

3. Orton joins team Cena: it cant be out of the question for a little shake up in Team Cena heading into Survivor Series. Ryback seems like the odvious choice to leave the team high and dry before the match, but Erick Rowan's sudden face turn screams of suspicious as well. With a vacant spot on Team Cena and revenge on his mind, Orton would be the perfect candidate for the final spot on Team Cena.


2. Orton joins Team Authority: Team Cena may not be the only team with a vacancy on Sunday. While Henry, Rollins, Kane and Harper all seem like team players, my eye would be on Rusev to back out, and create a vacancy. The spot would allow for Orton to wrestle for Team Authority, and ultimately betray one of the members in the final moments of the match.

1.. Surprise Attack: Lets say Orton doesn't join either side come Survivor Series, that doesn't mean he cant come and crash the party in his home town of Missouri. Orton could make his surprise return during the final moments of the match, and deliver a RKO  to Rollins, while the referee is distracted and cost Team Authority the match.

No matter how it happens.  It is almost a guarantee that Randy Orton will play some kind of role at Survivor Series. The man who rose to the top with The Authority back in 2013, seems like the perfect candidate to bring them crashing down at Survivor Series

Adrian Neville The Future Of The WWE?

The future of WWE and NXT is very bright for the fact we have new talent such as Prince Devitt, Kevin Steen and others but the 2 wrestlers I want to focus on who have the best future in WWE are Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville.

Adrian Neville has the ability beyond any I've ever seen he's not a luchador but a high flying ass kicking machine who's heart is as big as his in ring ability. Adrian is the current NXT Champion, so far by what I've seen from him is absolute amazing talent especially in title defense matches those matches are when he's at his supreme best.

 If I can say anything about him his future has to be one of the brightest I can definitely say he will be a future WWE World Heavyweight Champion as long as he can avoid being injured and or his character being defamed by WWE.

Now for Sami Zayn, Zayn is a well rounded high flyer as well but is also a very sound technical style wrestler when needed who just as Adrian has a gigantic heart for this business his future is also just as bright.

 By what I've seen by Sami is if he can keep up with what he does, he will be the next NXT champion and then he will make it to the Raw or Smackdown brand. His potential is beyond anything and his athleticism is also beyond anything.

He is also a future WWE World Champion if he can keep with what he does he will continue to amaze crowds, he has had one of the best matches I've ever seen while I've been watching WWE
 that was versus Cesaro that match in my opinion and many others was absolutely mind blowing amazing and just pure heart and determination to prove he's the best.

If Sami and Adrian ever fought for the title that Adrian holds, expect a match that no one has ever seen before. Expect a match that will be the talk of the century. Expect the unexpected cuz that's what you will get these 2 if given a match together for the NXT title that will be the match to watch and match to be remembered for forever I guarantee it.

5 Things That Need To Happen At WrestleMania 30

If your like me, you only want to see one man holding The WWE World Heavyweight title after Sunday nights main event at WrestleMania. Now, whether  The WWE Universe will get what it has long awaited, is a vastly different story. Maybe "The Animal," Batista, (Nicknamed "Bootista" by fans), is destined to hold the coveted titles above his head come Sunday, or maybe its just in the contract he signed when he agreed to come back.

Either way, I think it would be fun to play God for a minute ( don't tell God he'll get mad!) and discuss 5 things that In my opinion, should happen at The Show of Shows this Sunday. Obviously  I don't speak for everyone, so your opinion may be vastly different from mine. If so, Please let me know in the comments below!

5  AJ Lee needs to retain The Divas Title: At this point, Aj Lee is above The Divas title, but it would be in The WWE's best interest to keep Ms. Lee happy. Lets face it, a WWE without AJ Lee, isn't a good WWE at all. The loss would kill The Divas Division entirely (if Total Divas hasn't done that already), and we will be forced to watch more subpar Divas matches,  until a new AJ can be found. Of course Paige will probably take AJ Lee's place if she decides to leave, but how many fans will The Geek Goddess take with her before its all over?

4 Bray Wyatt has to beat John Cena: Your time is up, my time is now. Maybe John Cena needs to take his own advice and get the hell out of the young talents way! Now before you all berate me for saying that, I am a huge John Cena fan, but I also understand that its time to put some other talent over. Bray Wyatt has the gimmick and the athleticism  to be a main event villain. Its just a matter of time. He most likely wont win the gold on his first try at the top, but he is definitely a solid champion in the making. With that being said, what better way to cement this champion in the makings career, then to have him defeat the most consistent superstar in the last decade of WWE? John Cena has already put over the likes of Daniel Bryan at last years Summerslam, and look what that did to his career! Cena did the same for CM Punk back at Money In The Bank a few years back, and he was a dominant force in the WWE ever since! John Cena has stated many times that all change will come through him. Well, I guess that means the door is open, its time for Bray Wyatt to walk through it.

3. The Streak Should end!: I know that is a bold statement, but The WWE couldn't be anymore predictable with this storyline. The same thing happens every year! They build up one of the WWE superstars to astronomical heights. Have him defeat usually dominate superstars in squash matches,  then get all on their high horse about how their going to "End The Streak." The superstar gives The WWE Universe reasonable doubt about if The Dead Man can rise once again and defeat his opponent, and lastly, Taker comes out of nowhere at the end of the match to keep the streak intact. I love the streak. I love how long it has lasted, but if the writers at WWE cant find new ways to make the streak storyline more interesting, then they need to just end the streak entirely. That, or just have The Dead man retire with the streak intact.

2. Dolph Ziggler needs to win The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal: WWE has really dropped the ball on the grade A talent. I am so tired of seeing superstars like Ziggler being mistreated and little being done with them. He's got the move set, he gets the reaction from The WWE Universe, he's got the microphone skills. What else does the WWE need to push this guy? Ziggler has done virtually nothing since losing the World Heavyweight title back in 2013, and is in need of a good push.  The Battle Royal would be a huge fix for Ziggler, who's last significant storyline, was teaming with Kaitlyn against AJ Lee and Big E. Langston. The win would allow Ziggler to start gaining confidence, and give him a reason to brag. The bragging could launch him towards a title run. Maybe not The big title, but at least another United States Title run. Hopefully big things will happen, if Ziggler wins the match come Sunday, but more importantly, The WWE just needs to do something with him!

1. Daniel Bryan winning The WWE World Heavyweight Title: every big event has its moment that every fan wants to see. At WrestleMania  20, it was Christ Beniot finally holding the coveted World Heavyweight Title above his head, after defeating both Triple H and Shawn Michaels. At WrestleMania 21 it was watching John Cena defeat JBL for his first major title, and finally, at WrestleMania 30, it will be watching Daniel Bryan win The WWE World Heavyweight title! Lets be honest, If by some miracle, Daniel Bryan doesn't walk out of New Orleans as Champion, The IWC will be in a complete uproar. Imagine the reaction after Batista won the Royal Rumble back in January, but ten times greater! Fans would be boycotting The WWE. There would be waves of YouTube videos with adults saying they refuse to watch WWE anymore. Some people will start  to only watch TNA. Anyone else winning on Sunday spells doomsday for The WWE. so please WWE, for the first time since Summerslam last year. Please get it right! Put the title on the man that the fans want as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Main Event Focus: The Daniel Bryan WrestleMania Puzzle

Starting out Monday Night Raw with the six superstars that will fight for the coveted WWE World Heavyweight title at The Elimination Chamber was a decent move on WWE's part, but it still lacked the makings of a great opening segment for WWE's flagship weekly show.

The opening segment did have a few highlights to it, like John Cena and Antonio Cesaro having a few words with each other about  Cesaro possibly being the future of the company, and of course Sheamus telling both Cena and Cesaro that they would both look pretty funny after Sheamus brogue kicks their teeth in.

Future star power and comic relief aside, this segment still wasn't all it could have been. The segment lacked electricity and chaos, with all six superstars arguing like little kids over who would get to play with the new toy next. The WWE would have definitely benefited from having some physical spots in this segment

Even worse than the absence of physicality in the opening,  was the promos the superstars cut on their way to the ring. Cena continued to rely on his usual, if you think your good enough to be the face of The WWE, step up, but be warned, you will earn your spot on the top of the mountain, and of course his annoying name drops of Bryan and Cesaro, to get a cheap reaction or two from the crowd.

While the superstars continued to argue, WWE's director of operations , Kane, made his way to the ring and announced that all six participants in the Elimination Chamber would be in action tonight. He booked John Cena versus Antonio Cesaro for later in the night, prompting both men to exchange glares as the crowd cheered for the upcoming match.

The second match would be Daniel Bryan versus Christian. The WWE Universe didn't have much time to celebrate the booking however, as Kane announced the match would start right now. Before Bryan could end his heated stare down with his former tag team partner, Christian clubbed him in the back from behind, effectively turning heel, and receiving a heated reaction from the crowd.

The match itself seemed to be focused on Christians new found villain persona , and making Bryan look as valiant as possible heading into The Chamber. Bryan had suffered a apparent shoulder injury during Christians opening attack when he was tossed into the rings steps , and struggled to mount a decent offense as the match went on.

Bryan eventually hit a running kick right into the face of Christian in the corner. He then tried to follow it up with another kick, but was met by a big boot by Captain Charisma. As the match went on, Bryan tried desperately to lock in The Yes Lock on Christian, but seemed unable to do so because of his injury.

The match continued on, with Christian trying to hit The kill switch on Bryan and finish him off, but The Yes Man was able to reverse the second Kill switch into a roll up for the victory on Christian. Kane then rose from his seat at ringside to congratulate  Bryan, but then informed The Bearded Warrior that he had one more match this evening. Against him.

Kane dominated the match from the get go by targeting Bryan's injured shoulder. Bryan did manage a missile drop kick on Kane, but soon found his injured shoulder wrenched against a steel ring post, until the referee was forced to disqualify Kane. The Big Red Monster  made light of his actions by grabbing a microphone and sarcastically stating that he knew he was disqualified. The Denver crowd continued their chants of " You sold out" as Bryan laid at ringside in pain.

REACTION

The WWE just can't seem to find equal footing in any storyline they have perused this season. The opening segment wasn't the worse it could have been, but it wasn't that much better then listening to Randy Orton bitch to the authority about his matches and title defenses. Having Christian go heel certainly was a surprise aspect for The WWE Universe, but the way it was  all planned just had little excitement to it.

The WWE  should have given the superstars more time to speak before they were interrupted by another superstar in the chamber match. That aspect gave the segment little build, as each competitor wasn't really given a fair chance to fire the crowd the up.

Not giving Sheamus and Bryan more time to fire up the audience was a huge mistake as well. The WWE Universe has made it quite clear who they want to hear from, and the WWE let that happen more often, instead of overshadowing him with the likes of Cena and Orton.

As for the storyline, i find myself confused as to what this is all setting up to. The hope is that this is a underdog story that will lead Bryan all the way to the Main Even of WrestleMania, but the reality of the situation seems so much more crippling.

It seems like Daniel Bryan will indeed be taking CM Punk's vacated WrestleMania 30 spot against Triple H or someone in the Authority. If that's the case, then this will truly be a bittersweet show of shows for fans who want to see Bryan in the Main Even come Mania.

As for the match, it seemed to highlight both superstars equally as they head into the Chamber match this Sunday. Christian's heel turn has made him a much more surprising athlete to watch in the ring. The hunger in his eyes is more visible as heel, then it ever was as a baby face.

Daniel Bryan worked his shoulder injury perfectly during the match, to build up suspense and surprise with the crowd. You could literally hear The Universe gasp in shock and worry every single time that Bryan landed on that bad shoulder. Having Bryan struggle to lock in "The Yes Lock" gave that added touch of making him look vulnerable during the matchup. To the audience, it almost looked like Bryan was running out of options to put Christian away.

Bryan winning by roll up pin however, was not the best idea. I know The WWE wants to make Bryan look like the underdog heading into the Elimination Chamber match, but to make him look weak versus Christian, was a definite mistake. If it would have been Orton, Cena or even Sheamus, the idea of making Bryan the underdog would be a big more believable, in my opinion.

We as fans can only wait and see what The WWE decides to do with Daniel Bryan's push heading into WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. It all depends on how the WWE uses this shoulder injury of his at The Elimination Chamber. If they use his injury to build him up as the underdog in the match, he could have a good chance of winning the WWE World Heavyweight title at the end of the night.

 But if they overuse the shoulder injury and replace him in The Chamber match with another superstar, then you can pretty much guarantee that Triple H versus Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 30 is set in stone.

Even if Bryan does come close to winning the title in chamber match, it will only be used as a ploy to get the crowd excited as the bout comes to a close. He will then most continue to feud with The Authority, and again face Triple H at Mania.

 

 

 

 

Randy Orton's Effectivness as a Heel

It is no secret that most fans hate Randy Orton, but is that a good thing? doesn't that mean he is being effective in his role as WWE's resident villain? Is it him we really hate, or is it the gimmick he is portraying?

I join most fans in the belief that Randy Orton is a very boring talent to watch. His matches just lack energy and exciting conclusions that make the match worth watching. Other fans however, find him dry and uninteresting cutting promos on the microphone, I however do not share this belief at all.

Orton's matches may not have much appeal to me. It may  just be that my tastes are different from other fans, but for fans to say Orton is boring on the microphone is a total injustice! Thinks about it. Orton comes out every week on Raw and complains to The Authority about the matches he's put in, or whines about his title defenses at upcoming pay per views, and we hate it! Almost every fan in the WWE Universe right now can admit that we hate this man being our champion.

Think back to how he won the title in the first place! Orton cashed in his Money in The Bank briefcase on fan favorite, Daniel Bryan, ruining many fans celebration of their new champion at Summerslam. The WWE put Orton in this position to be hated, and that is exactly what we are giving him.

Personally, I am tired of everyone saying Orton is a boring champion. If he was a boring champion, we wouldn't be commenting. We wouldn't be complaining! There would be no reaction at all! But yet, we find it in ourselves to give a reaction. If something or someone was boring, we wouldn't react! But week after week The WWE Universe boos this man on every Raw and Smackdown.

Yes, there are many other top talents in The WWE  that we would like to see as our Champion instead. I know the obvious choices would be Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Dolph Ziggler or even Roman Reigns, but this only solidifies the amazing hate factor that Orton possesses as a heel. Tension is being built week after week within  The WWE Universe. They desperately are craving someone to take the belt off of Orton, making every upcoming pay per view must see TV!

It's like what The WWE did with The Shield's program with The Wyatt Family Monday night on Raw. They built up the tension, having The Shield come back to ringside to meet The Wyatt Family face to face. The segment was built up slowly, with each team sending members to the ring apron one by one. The Universe chanted in intense anticipation  for the two foes to clash just weeks before their scheduled match at The Elimination Chamber, but The WWE decided to build the feud up instead, by having the Wyatt Family break the tension and retreat back to the locker room.

Another example is Big Show's feud last winter with Triple H and The Authority. When the storyline first began after Summerslam. Big Show, along with many other superstars were subjected to cruel and brutal treatment at the hand of The Authority.

Big Show became Triple H's corporate puppet, as he was often asked to do his and Stephanie McMahon's evil bidding on a weekly basis. Big Show continuously showed remorse for his repeated actions against his fellow superstars, even crying as he hit  Dusty Rhodes with The K.O punch at Stephanie McMahon's order.

During this feud, it was teased multiple times that Big Show would stand up to The Authority, and lay Triple H out with a K.O Punch of his own. Tension continued to mount week after week, with Big Show coming dangerously close to knocking his boss out cold with one punch to the face.

The WWE Universe finally got their payout in early October, when Big Show surprised the crowd after the Main Event and knocked Triple H out cold. The fans in the arena stood in awe and applause, as they witnessed someone finally knock The Authority down a peg or two.

The WWE is all about building up suspenseful reactions for fans. Just because we dislike Orton as a character, doesn't mean The WWE should just have him drop the belt to Daniel Bryan. If Daniel Bryan wins the title right now, what will The Universe have to cheer about then? Nothing, because the payout will be over!

The company is currently riding a huge wave of momentum with the status quo. I know some of the product may seem boring at times, but is it really or boredom, or are we just unhappy with how slow the buildup has been until fans finally get their wanted payout?

For fans that are bored with the current product and with Orton as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, I suggest just waiting for things to change. The WWE knows that fans are waiting anxiously for this the flow of power to be shifted back to the baby faces and hero's of the company, and that's what makes the product, including Randy Orton, more interesting to watch than ever before!

 

Why a Win Over Randy Orton Means Nothing For The Yes Movement

The Yes Movement has to be feeling pretty good right now. Not only is their favorite superstar in the Elimination Chamber match for The WWE World Heavyweight title, but also now has a victory over the champion and face of The WWE Randy Orton.

Daniel Bryan trumpet The WWE World Heavyweight Champion Monday night, countering Orton's RKO, before catching him by surprise with a vicious running knee right to the face. The WWE Universe quickly rose to their feet, to chant the three count alongside the referee in the ring.

The victory would be short lived however, as Bryan was then attacked by his former Tag Team partner and The Director of Operations for Monday Night Raw, Kane. After a choke slam  from The Big Red Monster, Orton joined the fray, hitting Bryan with The RKO for good measure.

For those of you in The Yes Movement who think that a win over Orton Monday night is proof that The WWE plans to put the belt on him at WrestleMania 30, then like Bad News Barrett would say, I'm afraid I've got some bad news!

First off. Yes, The WWE did allow Daniel Bryan to win his match by a clean pin over Orton, but what fans need to notice, is that he in no way had the upper hand over his opponent when Raw went off the air Monday night. like so many times in the past few months , Daniel Bryan was left in a crumpled heap, as "The Viper" stood triumphantly over him, holding both  titles high above his head.

Bryan's win Monday night was nothing more than a desperate attempt by the WWE to get a cheap pop out of The WWE Universe at the end of the program. With Punk leaving the company, and John Cena out with a injury from a live show, what choice did WWE Creative have then to have Bryan get a win over Orton? Anything else would have felt like a disappointment to fans in the arena and at home.

Kane's interference at the end of the match makes it obvious that the WWE is putting Daniel Bryan in CM Punk's vacated anti authority storyline spot. The ending was designed not so Bryan would look stronger heading into The Elimination Chamber title match in two weeks, but so he would renew his rivalry with The Authority, and begin to set up his match with Triple H at WrestleMania 30.

Although the victory is meaningless for Bryan title hunt wise. The match itself was actually one of the best Orton and Bryan have had together. The bout had each superstar wearing the other down by focusing on certain body parts of their opponent, and the reversal at the end by Bryan had the biggest crowd reaction of the night (besides CM Punk chats of course!)

I know by now the members of The Yes movement that may be reading this could feel a little discouraged or angered by what I am saying, but just because Bryan's win over Orton Monday Night won't mean anything right now, doesn't mean that he still can't have a title run down the road.

Daniel Bryan versus Triple H at WrestleMania could be made more interesting if the right stipulation was added to the match. Fans of The Yes movement would certainly be more excited about the match if Bryan was guaranteed a title shot at the next pay per view for defeating Triple H at "The Show of Shows."

In the end, its better then what The WWE originally had in mind for Bryan at WrestleMania 30.  Having him face Sheamus in a match would have just been a huge disappointment for everyone that has followed Daniel Brayn's push this year . At least with a match against Triple H, he is going up against one of the best superstars of all time, and also a multiple time WWE Champion.

 

 

 

 

 

Who Can Replace CM Punk in The WWE?

The WWE really messed up this time. Just days after the Road to WresteMania 30 kicked off at The Royal Rumble, one of their top talents may deciding to walk away from the company for good. one report states  that   CM Punk walked out on The company after being informed that Batista would be headlining WrestleMania 30. Telling The Chairman of The WWE, Vince McMahon that he was "going home."

Punk is most likely angry at the fact that for the third straight time, a part time superstar will be headlining WrestleMania, instead of a full time wrestler in the company. Punk has vocally made it a personal goal of his to headline The Show of Shows, but was yet again passed up for the spot when Batista returned last week.

Another report states that Punk walked out after arguing with backstage personnel over his scheduled segment for that Monday Night on Raw. Punk was apparently asked to cut a promo and tell The WWE Universe he suffered a concussion after being choke slammed through The Announce Table Sunday night at The Royal Rumble, and that he needed to take time off due to a concussion injury.

And yet another report states, that Punk was not happy and walked out Monday night, when he was informed that his WrestleMania 30 opponent would be Triple H.  Apparently the thought of battling The CEO  of The WWE wasn't a very appealing idea to Punk, who had already feuded with Triple H back in late 2011 during The Summer of Punk storyline.

No matter how this apparently happened, it still could be one of the biggest blows to The WWE in recent memory. Punk is one of those few guys in the company that can really connect and antagonize the WWE Universe. Without him, The WWE will surely be at a lose both in the ring and  on the microphone

The question now remains. Who can take Punk's spot if this really is the end of his career? Who else in the company can embody the outlaw that he was? Who else can drop pipe bomb on The WWE Universe on a nightly basis? Who can fill the shoes of one of the most successful wrestlers of the modern era?

Dolph Ziggler: A few superstars come to mind when thinking of the obvious gaping hole that will need to be filled if or when Punk makes his retirement official. Dolph Ziggler remains a likely candidate in my mind, do to his ability to play such a great heel at times. His in ring maneuvers could use some polishing before pushing him to the top of the industry, but  a move like the "zig-zag" certainly will make his matches exciting to watch for The WWE Universe.

Bray Wyatt: The WWE has another great talent on the microphone in Bray Wyatt. Wyatt's character of a crazed cult leader makes it easy for the NXT upstart to mystify the audience in a almost Charles Manson type manner. The Wyatt Family's announcement of " Were Here" before blowing out the lantern during their entrance is something that can quickly grab a audience's attention before Bray Wyatt even touches a microphone.

Dean Ambrose: Another guy that lets his presence known on the microphone is Dean Ambrose. Ambrose has a almost chilling way of enouncing each word is his promos, that you start to believe if he's serious about what he says he's going to do. The man gives off a dangerous look, and that might just be what the WWE needs at this time.

Ambrose is by no means ready for this position as of right now. He will still need at least a year to perfect ability in the ring as a singles competitor.  but given time, and a few changes to his current move set and pace of his matches, Ambrose could certainly begin to fill that void that Punk will leave in the WWE.

Ryback:  Ryback never really got a chance to be the best heel he could be the first time around. He was used as merely a placeholder to challenge John Cena until "Summerslam" came around . I believe Ryback had a very bad ass heel persona during his feud with John Cena back in June. If given a second chance by WWE management, I don't see why Ryback couldn't recreate that persona and become another Stone Cold Steve Austin type character in the Company.

Roman Reigns: The most obvious choice of a superstar that would spectacular in a prime time role is Roman Reigns. He may not be that great at cutting a five star promo yet, but he does get a few chilling words in during promo's with his fellow Shield Members. Reigns is a crowd pleaser with his agility and his ability to hit the spear out of nowhere, but only time will tell how the WWE decides to use him and other WWE Superstars in Punk's absence.

To be completely honest, no one will ever fully replace Punk if he does decide to leave WWE for good. His in ring work was the stuff of magic, and his pipe bombs are some of the most memorable moments of both Raw and Smackdown. Maybe one day one or more of these superstars will be able to step up and begin to fill the momentous shoes of this great superstar, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
