Hi all, welcome to the first edition of my article on the state of Wrestling Today.....
The General State of matches/promos on weekly shows
Now over the past few months we have seen Khali dominate every week on Smackdown and injuries happening all over the place, that is why WWE need to get off of their backsides and build up some mid card superstars that will provide for some valuable back up if a champion is injured or even another main eventer, over the past few weeks I have seen Carlito get jobbed out by Umaga and Smackdown extremely lacking depth. Now on Smackdown you could argue everything was fine until Undertaker was injured but week in week out we see squash matches and I don't want to see those kind of matches on weekly shows, it's not 1991 and we want to see more energetic matches which we are not going to get if it carries on like this.
I see Ric Flair being wasted away on Smackdown, not even in a match for a PPV and he is meant to be a top staple of the industry but yet he is just being a sidekick to Batista who shouldn't be main eventing with Khali which brings me back to the point of backup superstars, sure they didn't drop the ball when Kennedy was injured so why not call up someone from OVW to start getting more air time on Smackdown, RAW and ECW, I surely wouldn't complain. The tag champions of Smackdown are in singles matches and are not even in a proper storyline because there is no-one to face and what makes it even worse the WWE aren't doing anything about it. On Smackdown I see squash after squash with Khali and if that is building someone up by beating top stars he is becoming worse than Superman and he is making everyone on the roster lose credibility.

I also do not like the schedule of house shows in the WWE as they are what is causing all of the problems I have stated.
This was just a short draft copy of my Article, I will be adding more topics if it becomes popular.
