WWE Hall of Fame Special

Before Raw goes on the air Monday evening, the WWE will be airing a one-hour special starting at 8:00 p.m. ET recapping the 2012 Hall of Fame induction ceremony. With the excitement that was built for WrestleMania still hanging over the city of Miami and the WWE universe as a whole, seeing the Hall of Fame highlights may help me get over such a terrible show.

Rumors

For now, the only answer anyone can give for the absolute garbage that WWE pulled on Daniel Bryan is from Wrestling Observer via WrestleZone:

"

According to F4WOnline.com, WWE had planned for the World Title match at WrestleMania to be a quick bout several weeks ago, however there were some officials who lobbied to have that idea changed. The reason why WWE ran such a short bout is because the company wanted to set a new record for the quickest title match at WrestleMania, which was previously held by Kane and Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Title at WrestleMania 24. However, last night's World Title bout did not beat the record, as it lasted 18 seconds and the Kane/Guerrero match lasted 8 seconds.

"

WrestleZone is also reporting about money WWE made and the records they broke for the event:

"

…Sun Life Stadium’s largest attended event and highest grossing entertainment event in history. Grossing $8.9 million, it was also the highest grossing live event in WWE history.

"

What’s Next for Teddy?

With John Laurinaitis in charge, the WWE universe should be ready for the worst run of any GM in the history of the sport. The company loves a heel in power because they’re easy to hate, but it’s just another way to mask the WWE’s poor booking.

 

Poor Daniel Bryan

After losing the World Title in 18 seconds on the biggest stage of them all, it’s clear that the WWE doesn’t see Daniel Bryan as anything more than a transitional champion. While real fans see Chris Jericho, the WWE sees Jack Swagger. Hopefully Bryan comes out and beats down Sheamus, but WWE won’t allow it.

John Cena

With the one WWE superstar that didn’t need any more heat getting more heat, the WWE has done nothing but add fueled to the heel turn speculation fire. John Cena is one of the best stars the company has, so letting The Rock go over makes no sense. Let’s see what’s next.
