Ok, I have been an avid fan of WWE for years. Yes...Yes...Yes...from way back in the days when Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant had their epic match..blah blah blah. This is really not meant to be a nostalgic article so let me bypass all of that.
No, this article is just about what the title suggests. The recent shows for the past couple of years have really dropped in intensity when it comes to the writing and decision making they have produced.
Some of these shows have caused us fans to scratch our head and throw tantrums saying "This is not the WWE we remember!" (yeah, kind of nostalgic in statement, but still...).
A lot of these points will actually bring up points from other articles but they are still necessary to be reiterated.
1. CREATIVE TEAM, COULD YOU PLEASE GET CREATIVE.....PLEASE?
The writing has GOT To be better on all aspects, not just the major titles. We need your creative team to show more interest in other story lines besides just the two major titles.
You have the talent to pull off some very thrilling story lines. We just need for you to divest more time in thinking of something.
For example...there should be more exploitation for the U.S. belt. You have two outstanding wrestlers in Benjamin and MVP but the storyline (if you really want to call it that) has been lackluster. You have the makings of an epic U.S. Championship match but you do nothing really to exploit it.
Also there is absolutely no story line for the Inter-Continental championship. That belt has just been thrown in the hands of several champions and then nothing done really with it.
William Regal only defended 3 times the whole time he had it and that was to the same person during the last 3 weeks of his title reign. Until then, William Regal didn't even wrestle. Kind of dumb don't you think?
Was the greatest thing you could come up with was the IC tournament with nothing to happen afterwards? That seems a bit short sited to me. So now Punk has it and what you say...no storyline...no defending....Punk goes to MitB and the IC Belt sits stagnant.
Isn't there some rule about if a Belt is not defended within 30 days....? Which moves me on to the next point..
2. More I.C. and U.S. Championship Belt Defense
This was mentioned in another article and I must reiterate that point. The article was how often the IC belt had been defended at a pay per view in 2008. Since when did the IC Belt become just a prop?
I thought the IC belt was a stepping stone to being a major champion. It seems to me you are throwing away history behind these belts...The Rock, Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Bret Hart, etc all made the IC belt great.
To just leave the belt stagnant and collecting waist dust is pretty disrespectful.
3. Incorporate More Groups/Factions
I know, I already created a article on this, but this is STILL a major issue to me. Lets look back through history and check out how exciting the programming was when there were groups and factions running rampant through your shows. (Didn't I say this wasn't going to be a nostalgic article....oh well huh?).
We had groups like Degeneration X, The Nation of Domination, Legion of Doom, Los Boricuas, Disciples of Apocalypse, nWo, and the crowd went crazy.
