Enough Is Enough: These WWE Storylines Need To Die

Will HowardApr 13, 2009

First off, some of these storylines are great ones, but they are indeed wastes of time. So please, stick with me here and I promise good reasons for what I'm about to say.

I know you guys are sick and tired of certain gimmicks killing brain cells and taking hours upon hours of potential wrestling enjoyment away from fans who, if not for a love of wrestling, might be watching rugby.

Yeah, I went there!

TOP NEWS

WRESTLING: OCT 02 AEW Dynamite/Rampage Pittsburgh
Monday Night RAW

We'll start with the most obvious storyline that needs to be shot dead:

1. Vickie and Edge Being Married, with Big Show as Vickie's Man-whore.

First off, no one in their right mind—blind, deaf, or so mentally handicapped they think a Vladimir Kozlov matches are great—would want to date Vickie.

In fact, Eddie Guerrero was about to start divorce proceedings with madam Guerrero prior to his untimely death, this from two sources close to Eddie.

Second, Big Show as a "man-whore" takes away from everything that the "World's Largest Athlete" has done over his career. It shows he's letting the WWE make a mockery of him...again.

I mean come on, he's the Big Show.

He is to be feared, not controlled by a 240-pound ring rat who is only trying to mooch off her dead husband's legacy, urinating all over it in the process.

This storyline is so far out of the scope of reality that it alone brings down the quality of Smackdown, and the WWE product in general.

Vickie needs to leave, Edge needs to wrestle Christian to help legitimize his career—unless he actually wants to be known as a joke—and the Big Show needs to go back to being the self-proclaimed "Big, nasty b*stard" he once was.

No one saw Big Show winning at 'Mania, not until he starts fending for himself instead of feeding off some rotten tamale like Vickie.

It might make more sense if Edge was flirting with someone like Stephanie McMahon, but right now, this more than anything needs to end ASAP!

2. The Miz and John Morrison Teaming Together

Okay, hear me out before you all come knocking at my Bleacher Report door, wanting to beat me in the face for bashing Morrison.

On the contrary, I'm praising him.

It's like a guy with a Culinary Arts degree working for Taco Bell. Morrison's career has gone as far as it can go in the tag team division.

He needs to fly on his own, or climb, or do whatever it takes to get a singles title. He's main-event talent stuck in a murky mess on ECW.

Miz can be a legitimate U.S. title contender, but Morrison said his destiny was bigger than he even knew—and he's right.

WrestleMania XXVI awaits for the "Shaman of Sexy" and, depending the route they steer him in, so could the Hall of Fame.

3.Y2J, "The Legend Killer"?

The last time I checked, Randy Orton, not Chris Jericho, was the "Legend Killer." Yet, it looks like the WWE is already recycling the gimmick.

Jericho makes the gimmick work, maybe eve better than Orton did, but it's still Orton's gimmick.

I have far too much respect to watch Jericho suffe in an old gimmick, especially when the whole Mickey Rourke angle could've been a lot bigger than what they did with it.

4. The "All American, American" Jack Swagger

The only thing wrong here is that Swagger needs legitimate competition without carrying the "All American, American"  gimmick.

Anyone remember Ron Simmons's old gimmick? Sound familiar.

For as cocky a heel as Swagger is, this makes no sense to me. He needs a gimmick to reflect on his cockiness.

These are the big four that I see issues with. What do you guys think?
