Official "What I Dislike About WWE's Direction" Thread

[TempestH]

People forget that the purpose of the weekly TV shows themselves is to get you to order & pay for the events where they have the actual wrestling matches on it by pushing the storylines & character development. However the IWC want their cake & eat it too...they want to have everything given to them for free yet don't return it by putting their money down to buy the product & instead bootleg/download/stream their PPV's for free too.

And it's amazing how when you do get those TV shows where it's heavily wrestling based like how ECW & WWE Superstars are along with how TNA Impact was back in it's early days but people still found something to bitch & complain about in order to either not watch the shows or find something wrong with what they've requested.

The problem with ECW was that they would pick out one or two superstars at a time and have them steamroll the already small roster. For a year and a half, ECW was "The Miz and Morrison Show" giving the two of them more focus than the champion at certain points, and shoving them down our throats on all three brands at once.

The problem with WWE superstars is that although it's wrestling based, it could be used for storylines and character Development if almost half of that TV time doesn't go into recapping RAW and Smackdown.

^^^Thank you for proving my point exactly, ECW was the brand that was based more around wrestling than anything else but as you just point out, you came up with reasons to not watch the show (some of which are false & selective memory) eventhough that show would give you exactly what these people bitching about the lack of wrestling time are asking for. And you proved the point with Superstars as well as you just said "more time could go to developing storylines" when the complains are that too much time goes into storylines & character and not enough wrestling so you get a show that cuts most of that out and still complaints.

I hate the WWE women's division at the moment and have done for the past 4 years. It's an absolute joke for a number of reasons:

- Very few talented women wrestlers
-Even the talented competitors never get enough time to show what they can do whether on the mic or indeed in the ring
-2 Titles that no one cares about

[dcull111]

women's wrestling in mainstream american promotions is lame. it's stuck in between the old "sex sells" mantra and trying to look like legit competition. both approaches totally undermine the other...

[yogi44]

Vince will not give them any shots or push. The ones who are going to profit are : Khali, Lahley, Umaga, Snitsky. Because Vince likes big roided idiots intead of highly talented stars.

I don't like how Chris Jericho isn't kept at the top spot in the company. or near it, as a major heel.. he always has his runs, yes, but i dont think he is viewed as seriously as he should be. its also true that he is happy with his posiiton in the company, but still, for example, the nexus storyline leadership thing should be his. if they go through with a storyline, with a higher power type of thing, a leader on the nexus, and it isnt jericho, that will be my main beef with the wwe's direction.

[TheSeanDBrand]

Let's see: 1-They released Shelton Benjamin, Shannon moore, Shane Helms, Stevie Richards, Super Crazy, and Paul London
2- After over 70 (70!) IC title matches, Ziggler still hasn't won it and now he's with Vickie. Yuck
3- John Cena is still main eventing and winning world titles

[Mark Bradford (U.K)]

The thing that annoys me the most about wwe at the moment is just how awful the wwe summerslam card looks. I may be a good pay per view obviously we don't know yet. However the whole card just smacks of (been there done that)

1 Sheamus (c) vs Randy Orton Singles Match for the WWE Championship. If anyone interferes in the match, they will be suspended indefinitely. If Randy Orton loses, he cannot get a re-match. We've seen this already only 7 months prior at the Royal Rumble and it was pretty poor. Why on earth has this match been allowed to headline 2 major wwe ppvs in the last half a year when they have no chemistry?

2 Team WWE (John Cena, John Morrison, R-Truth, Bret Hart, Edge, Chris Jericho and TBA) vs The Nexus (Wade Barrett, David Otunga, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, Darren Young, Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver) 7-on-7 Elimination Tag Team Match

Slight interest in this, because I want to see who the TBA is, apart from that another example of a shoddy match. You have Morrison, truth and aload of nxt guys who the wwe could really care less about (apart from Wade) in one of your main angles. Granted the nxt invasion has worked..kind of. However what next for the nxt guys after this angle is done? I gurantee you at least 5 of them won't be working for wwe by the end of the year thats for sure.

3 Kane (c) vs Rey Mysterio Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Seen it before, it was done at No Mercy 2008 and again a Cyber Sunday 2008 (was also voted the worst series of matches of the entire year of 2008) so obviously shove it down our throats once more

4 The Big Show vs The Straight Edge Society (CM Punk, Joey Mercury and Luke Gallows) 3-on-1 Handicap Match
You have the most talented wrestler on Smackdown and you put him in a handicap match against a guy he can't have a decent match against...brilliant.

5 Alicia Fox (c) vs Melina Singles Match for the WWE Divas Championship
R.I.P decent womens wrestling 2001-2006

6 Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Kofi Kingston
A solid match I'm expecting, the highlight of a terrible card.

here is my gripe with wwe right now

the nexus storyline has been really interesting, however, their strength has been in their numbers, how on earth does losing a member make them stronger? how?

also, across on smackdown - why would kane out mysterio as the guy who left undertaker in a vegetative state (how can he be in that state anyway when he is a deadman?) when kane would obviously know that this action would force mysterio to out him

sometimes i dont think the writers actually think through these storylines before implementing them

[™S. nay-rappeX taMmeT]

hahahaahah, yeah totally agree with all of that.

wwe isn't great in the logic department. thats for sure.

As for Nexus they lost at Summerslam, because they lost the numbers advantage thanks to Darren Young

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link & for the past few weeks, Darren Young has been the weakest member of the group with him being the only guy who Cena was able to take out not just once but twice along with how at SummerSlam, he only lasted around a minute in the match. That made sense so now they aren't carrying the obivious dead weight.

If you commited a crime, wouldn't you pin the blame on someone else if you can so you wouldn't get caught?

These storylines make sense when you just look at them & don't overthink it.

whatever happens, its one less man in your team

plus the week they kicked him out, he himself offered to fight cena - surely someone with the balls to want to fight a multiple time wwe champion is someone you would want in the trenches with you? its not like he was losing those matches to hornswoggle - he was losing them to cena

admittedly i would blame it on someone else - but i sure as hell wouldnt blame them on the guy who witnessed me doing the crime as its fairly obvious that in order to clear himself he is obviously going to point right back at me as the true criminal

thats not even overthinking, thats just plain thinking

[AdamForever]

From what I have seen over the last few years of John Cenas wrestling ablity yes I aggre with you that hes not very good but what you have to reamber is that WWE is only going to push the wrestlers who can make them the most money. They also wanna find wrestlers that can take the next generation by storm just like Austin and the Rock did and even though I dont particually like Cenas wrestling skills I think hes gonna be one of those people.

Ive always thought that the disucssion on the talent that WWE is using incorrectly is always a good debate. Anyone fancy the conversation?

It's not about the quanity, it's about the quality as just because you have more numbers doesn't mean your group is stronger...that's been proven numerious times. Young was the weak link of the group as he was the one guy who kept getting beat down during attacks like how Cena originally took him out & how Cena beat him and he got eliminated in the SummerSlam match in under a minute which sure as hell didn't do anything for Nexus in that match. The other Nexus members were fighting main eventers & other multiple time WWE/World Champions as well that night like Orton, Edge, Jericho...they got their job done somehow while Young didn't so he's gone.

When was it ever stated that Mysterio witnessed the crime...he accused Kane of doing it but he never once stated that he saw him doing it so what I originally said still stands.
