That was nearly 30 years ago though, doesnt represent WWE's current booking.
...it's what they did with John to push him. Dave. Randy. Give them obstacles and actually let them hurdle the damn things... don't grab 'em by the ankles right before they take it. When you add extra to the obstacle or hold someone down, they're not going to make it. That's not how it is done.
It also wouldn't hurt WWE to give someone a FAIR chance. I mean, FFS, they abandoned and made a joke of the Kofi/Jamaica thing, what, 4 years ago now? So why in the Hell is he STILL using the Jamaican theme song!? You've got a guy who changes tights more than Rey, and he does it with FAN DRAWINGS. Kofi ALWAYS gets a reaction IN the ring after forcing a crowd who falls asleep at the gimmicky entrance music that has absolutely nothing to do with anything about his character except the joke of his weak accent... and they wonder why he can't get over? If I see someone as a joke... they're a joke.
When was the last time they tasked Cena a month in a row to walk out on Raw at 10 o'clock... the lowest point of the show every week without one fail outside of Stone Cold? Yet they throw Punk on at that slot every single week and they wonder why he can't sell? Because nobody ever sees him because it's an obvious down moment on Raw every week without fail! Cena went out at 10 this past week and Raw did it's worst 10-block since before Punk. Oh, and Big Show/Orton is a guaranteed sell over Bryan? That was the lowest FINAL segment on Raw since before the Daniel Bryan stuff. BTW, Bryan/Orton Raw viewership when this all first started was higher than Cena was managing with Ryback and Mark Henry. They beat a dead horse with Bryan/Orton and did a crappy 2-month run with no champion at all after shady shit from others buried Bryan's legitimacy. It's not his look, it's the stupid way he's booked.
...if it isn't Cena, they don't put effort into booking anything. They start off with diamonds and gems and turn it into coal in no time. There's no effort... fans don't buy in to no effort. I'm supposed to spend my money on PPV's with entire cards being thrown together last minute? I'd have been pumped for a real 3-4 week feud to build Big E vs. Dean Ambrose. Instead, we saw him help Punk once, team with him a second time the same week, and all of a sudden he's in there on an unannounced match.
I never know which Diva is challenging for the title until the night of. Natalya lost 4 straight TV matches on Raw and somehow that qualified her for a title shot? Why am I supposed to buy that? To see a proven loser get a chance against a proven winner?
Pay to support Del Rio? Why? Because he's the Mexican Sheamus and Vince can't get enough of minorities so he treats 'em like Gods and lets 'em crack on Gringos every night? The guy can't cut a promo to save his life and he deserves my money and undivided attention? Not to mention, they used him to punish a guy for getting a concussion at the fault of someone else. As a fan, it's my right to not spend money on something I don't support. And Trips/Steph had the nerve to accept a fucking award for how they deal with concussed talent?
Spend my money to watch one of your best talents get punished because his friend and tag partner from before WWE can't get in shape or jack himself up to look like Triple H when he came back roided up from his quad injury? Punishing him because his friend and tag partner from before WWE has every finisher he uses stolen right before he is supposed to be called up to the main roster so they have to "go another route" with his move set? Cesaro was doing just fine until all of those reports of Hero started hitting. You'd think people shit all over Triple H when Shawn was battling with addiction and back injuries the way he treats people for how their friends handle themselves.
