Lets talk about WWE

[Alexis Prodigy]

Right now I feel they are SO close to having a good product but things just seem to get fuzzy in the booking phase of things.

Good Things:
-A.J/Bryan/Punk/Kane is a great, fun, funny, and entertaining feud. It is actually very original. AJ is going to be remembered one day with the likes of Trish and Lita ...and it starts with this angle.
-Dolph Ziggler is forcing creative to give him opportunities and is SO entertaining right now.
-Cody Rhodes is ALSO really proving himself a solid main eventer.
-David Otunga, while not a great wrestler, is a fantastic character.
-The promise of future main eventer in Sandow and maybe Cesaro. Brodus and Ryback being strong mid-carders soon, one for his gimmick and other for his power. And we are on the cusp of the debuts of the next Bryan and Punks: Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.
-The utilization of comedic characters like Santino and Rodriguez.
-Johnny Ace is a great villain because he is kind of a terrible actor ...but that works to his advantage.
-John Cena is taking a break from the title scene right now.
-Heyman being used as Brock's agent because his promos are ALWAYS gold. I want him for every episode.
-The Divas are being utilized outside of wrestling and given characters which is good. Specifically Eve and A.J
-Primetime Players are looking to be a good tag team and hopefully bring teh division back and more teams come up.

Things they are dropping the ball on:
-The WWE title is a mid-card title while Cena STILL main events.
-The Divas division is floundering and hasn't been given tv time since Kelly Kelly left for awhile. STOP PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THAT WOMAN. Beth is a GREAT performer. Natalya is close to GREAT. Layla could be a good ditzy face. Kharma is on her way back. Maxine is doing great on NXT with her character. Aside from teh Divas being used in teh big angles, the title seems meaningless.
-There needs to be more done for the tag division then three teams being sort of featured. It is off to a good start but teams need to be formed and given proper screen time.
-Triple H and Vince throwing themselves into the mix when ratings are low.
-The burial of Zack Ryder after quite a push ...he didn't even get his revenge on Kane or Eve.
-Alberto Del Rio is boring and too much of a hassle to deal with backstage.
-This past month was the perfect opportunity to elevate talent who NEED to move up to higher plateaus but nothing was really done. Ziggler got a throwaway title shot when he should have been pushed as a big threat to Sheamus. Cody and Christian could have easily moved up as well. And replace the Orton/Jericho feud with those guys or others. It was a missed opportunity.

WOW , what a great commentary on what is going on right , as I feel the same way about everything you've said here ! On that , if I may , I want to add one thing . Right now Dolf Ziggler is the best working heel the WWE has right now . Did I think he would win at NO WAY OUT , No !!! Why , becuase they need a face on Smackdown right now to hold THAT brand together ! The Miz is off doing another MARINE movie ( as a Cena fan , I can say I liked the Dibiase one better ) . I also agree that the Diva's division is as strong as it has been since Trish, Lita , and Mickie , but NOBODY cares right now !! Untill Karma comes back it's going to be a dead deal !Kelly Kelly and Eve are not the way to save it , and sadly until Kaiytlin and Maxine can step up, it's gonna get pushed onto the back burner .

Nobody wants to work with RYback, and his character has become boring . Tensi din't work from day one . So where do we go next ? Sandow is entertaining , for a second ! Cesario works for about a minute and a half ! #NathanJonesWANNABE !!! Don't get it, don't like it !!! Guys like Ryder, Rekks, Hawkins need to be pushed and put onto regular TV ! Why, ( and this is my opinion) They entertain every week . Yeah , I like Cena , but we need more !!I love the WWE , but I hate how they rehash things !!! My TWO cents, and nothing more !!! On that note, Enjoy the show !!!

I thought that WWE did a great job with Ziggler's title shot against Sheamus - He didn't win (nor did I realistically expect him to), but he had a great showing. I'd like to see that match again.

WWE uses their time for stuff like the Lauper segment on RAW when they could be using it for midcard stories. They finally started a storyline for tag teams that doesn't involve the titles - but they could use time on RAW, Smackdown, and Superstars for IC, US, and tag title matches and intra-division storylines.

Ricardo Rodriguez, Zack Ryder, and David Otunga should be used in the US title division. Otunga isn't a great wrestler, but he's been great as a character ever since donning the bowtie, and he is improving as a wrestler, but it's going to waste getting squashed by Cena over and over.

It's great that new guys can squash jobbers, but we'd care about them more if they had some real adversity to overcome.

I think the Ryback story is fake, just like the HHH not wanting to use Mick Foley story. Why would guys agree to come in and wrestle Ryback if actual contracted stars didn't want to? It would fit the storyline, and give an air of danger to Ryback's character.

Okay really did someone refer to this as a good angle LMAO.....

On a more personal note about WWE, I finally achieved one of my goals this year and had a Wrestlemania weekend when me and several of my best friends spend 4-5 days in Miami enjoying the festivities. For all the bad and ugly in WWE right now, Wrestlemania weekend has so far been the best weekend of the year and one of the top times in my life. AXXESS, Hall of Fame, One of the ROH IPPVS, and of course Wrestlemania it self. 21 years of watching wrestling and I finally made it to the big event and may even go back next year god willing.

I also find it amusing my favorite Football team is the Dolphins, and when I finally get to their stadium it's for something not related to them.

Here is a look to the new NXT:

I like it. I enjoy stuff with unproven talent who might be future main eventers.

[Eliminator (Progeny of War)]

WWE took down the videos. What a terrible marketing tactic, I was actually interested in viewing NXT, but I can't.

[Alexis Prodigy]

Lol, glad I saw it when I did. WWE is just idiotic about somethings ...considering that they are a predominately an American promotion ...you'd think if they don't have the American television deal ...they would want us to see this show, especially because, right now, it is GOOD which you can't always say about Raw.

I also go to www.wrestlezone.com ! I think it's one of the better sites out right now . The CSR segments they do are both entertaining and origional (In my opinion) .

I got to attend the Wrestlemania in Orlando a few years back. Go figure the one I finally get to attend ends up being a failure. The rig used to keep the lights above the ring blocked off huge portions of the ring from view, there was a power outage that lasted through almost two matches, when the power did come back on the large televisions above the ring never came back on, and worst of all rogue fireworks injured like a dozen people in the audience.

I'm sure Vince McMahon was not very pleased at all.

This years Wrestlemania which I attended the only technical snafu (In my opinion and the opinion of quite a few people that attended) that we could notice live was actually the ringside set up. Don't get me wrong I'm sure it looked great on television, but boy were those palm trees pissing off some of the audience who had their view blocked.

Now to be fair, those who did ask/complain about the palm trees were moved to different seating that was set up for this reason. However, if you didn't voice you're opinion, you were stuck watching the screen all night.

Needless to say we had two chants early in the night of "MOVE THE PALM TREES" and "PALM TREE SUCKS" Luckily, where we were sitting we did not have this problem.
