I agree with all of the above which is why i’m pleased to see Kofi Kingston v’s Orton. Just hope WWE have the guts to keep with it until Survivor Series, but they probably wont and will just end up on different teams

I completly agree with this. Im tired of watching the same ones over and over. They need to give the other superstars a shot.

Main events are basically the rivalries that regulate through the show more than any other, hence the constant involvement of the brand’s leading championship.
Anyway my point is that Main eventers in any company should and usually will be the best actors in the company whereas every other devision will be tailored to its fan base.

On the subject I would say that it was a bad idea to take AJ styles into the main event picture and out of the X devision (no matter what he was always the face of the company). Also I strongly believe MVP should be in the main event (next to Morrison and Orton he would be the best main eventer on roster)

I do have to say that Hornswaggle cracks me up pretty much every time but I can see why people wouldn’t like him in the shows. I think the comedy aspect has gotten pretty good lately and I’ve been pretty entertained by it.

Thanks for the positive responses people, i had no intention of this getting posted but now it has makes me wish i had wrote it more formally lol.

Paul: that feud has only just started and only had match (4 days ago) i wrote this before i kew about RAW

Power: i feel the same, if the Miz (and Jericho) and acouple of others werent on raw i would stop watching it completely. I couldnt careless about the main eventers on both shows and ECW is kinda given bad press cause wrestling wise its probably the best show about but rather mediocre.

And Tromafreak: i never thought of it like that, WWE has already hit its peak and is now declining in its Product Life Cycle and i guess the Guest Host is a extention strategy (which cant last forever). If that is the case then its only actually a matter of time before its all over

If you guys actually like this then if there is a next time ill write proberly

Sports-Entertainment has taken full effect. No more heel announcers, no more managers, no more awsome promos, and ironically, no more entertainment, just a bunch of cuteness. As big, bright, and pretty as everything looks, the WWE has been crumbling since around 2004, some would say before that, but the brand-extension, the “E”, and the loss of Rock and Austin wasn’t really all that bad. Other tha the fact that it stopped evolving, WWE seems to have gotten too big for its britches, almost as if the actual promotion turned heel and literally turned it’s back on the core audience in order to draw in people who hate, or don’t get wresting. All the Kid Rock concerts in the world can’t do that. Even those Nascar guys were no help! WWE is just missing the point. This “segregation” thing is just one of the many problems, and sadly. it’s not even the worst. DX is painful to watch, I’d rather watch The Outsiders walk old ladies across the street. And the guest celebrity thing is getting more and more irritating every week, although Ozzy is always awsome. If the WWE would end this obsession with not being a rasslin promotion, and maybe ease up on the talent, and give them a little freedom in the ring, and especially on the mic. And stealing the fans “Cena Sucks” signs is truly a new low. Vince has complete control over the wrestling world, now he’s trying to control the fans. It’s pathetic. With this new attitude within the WWE, the future looks real bleak, after all, this is the promotion that threw away a perfectly good Kennedy, so there may actually be no hope. In the end, all us fans can do is support TNA and pray Hogan and Bischoff don’t screw it up.

P.S. I hate Hornswoggle!!!

One Reason Why mid-carders are not given a chance to go up against the guys at the top is because of Vince, He keeps them down for as long as he wants, it could be years before they are moved up, if Triple H don’t like them or think there ready, that makes the time even longer. Look at Tommy Dreamer he has been in it since The early days of ECW, After all these years they still have him on the mid-card losing to everybody else. Rey Mysterio Jr., Chavo Guerrero, Benjamin – a few other guys that have been with WWE for years and have all the talent but are kept out of the main event matches and have them do gimmicks or put someone over.

Another example other than Sting, look at Bret Hart’s 1992/1993 run.. Royal Rumble versus Razor Ramon, Survivor Series versus Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels run in 1996 versus Vader, Bulldog, Mankind.

TBH, its the mid carders that keep me watching the current product right now. I notice better matches on Smackdown with guys trying to shine through their ring work as opposed to Raw where you have to be humiliated by DX or Cena during any confrontations. I dont know if its Vince not bothering so much with the supposed ‘B’ show and letting them actually get on with wrestling (which is what its all about, right?), but it works since its not an over the top, cringeworthy drama fest that is Raw, and the entire guest host segments so far.

I have wayyyyy more interest in the US, Intercontintel and Tag title matches than any of the World title matches as of late. Credit to JeriShow though for doing a good job so far with their matches against mid card tag teams – they havent made anyone look weak while going over.

Miz, Morrison, Swagger, Ziggler, Kofi, Legacy, Bourne and MVP are for me personally, the guys who should be having main event spots on TV, and eventually PPV. Jericho, Edge, Christian, Rey and CM Punk seem to me like guys who have no problem putting these younger guys over, and would one day pass the torch the right way. DX going over Legacy at two PPVs out of three was lame, Orton/Cena XXXXXXIV can go to hell, and for the life of me I dont know why the belt gets put on Taker at this stage in his career, and especially after 6 months of sitting on his arse nursing his broken old body.

On a slightly different note, young talent that almost definately WILL be feuding with top guys soon is Sheamus. From interviews reported as of late, it seems Triple Douche is big on Sheamus. Who’s suddenly getting a push on the ‘A’ show and getting rammed down our throats as unstoppable (see: Snitsky, Umaga, Khali, McIntyre, Kozlov, Mark Henry v6 etc.) Nobody cares about this guy. I have Irish friends who watch the show and they dont give a damn about him. Mostly cause hes sickly pale, and got Orange hair, not ginger.
