No? wtf? He's a Monster Heel hello? They use his heritage and make a gimmick out of it. Don't have to tell you how a monster heel works but it usually doesn't end good for the monster heel once he's broken and battered in 6 months. Think in 6 months any of this is going to matter?
You don't know that and neither do I. Regarding his gimmick so because he's Irish and they call him the Celtic warrior or whatever that's his gimmick? Nope he's actually Irish, it's not a put on. He doesn't even have a gimmick really.
And again on the monster heel part. Sure it sometimes doesn't work out well but it sometimes does and you cannot say for sure one way or the other until this plays out.
Or are they not going to completely destroy him and let him hold the US title. Oh yay. Nothing matters except the main event.
This formula did wonders for CM Punk at the time. But never the less you are still making assumptions.
Everyone in the midcard doesn't matter until they're called up upon. Main eventers are the one who draw, the one's who sell and the one with value.
That's true to an extent but with out the middle card you have no show. So they do matter.
We watch a two hour show to see the main event and to see the future main eventers.
What is a future main eventer other than another name for mid carder?
This is the WWE and this is the only system that works for them. Oh and for you negating everyone I mentioned off tell me one good reason why any storylines even matter except the main event ones.
Well let's see here the most popular eras of wrestling have focused on everyone not just the main event. Take the much loved attitude era. Everyone during that period had an angle and everything worked that much better for it. Currently they have a tendency to only focus on the ME storylines and the product is in the shitter. So what makes more sense here?
You're telling me the ECW title or any other feud is too important for them to be a transitional champion?
Considering we are the first people to scream and yell when a feud is dropped for no reason I would say yes. Also we are the first people to scream about not honouring the brand split but having Christian become WHC is okay only because you like him.
Point of that is, is the fact that storylines are just storylines and they're planned months before they happen. If they were going to make anyone else transitional champion like Miz he wouldn't be in a feud with someone. It would be planned out where he wouldn't be BUSY. OBVIOUSLY. JEEZUS MONKEY
I understand that but that is not the way the current storyline played out. You can scream and yell that they could've changed them all you want but the fact remains that they did not for whatever reason and since they wanted to give the best push they could to someone new they did reasonable well aside from how they booked him to win the match.
What i'm saying is Sheamus's character completely flat out sucks and there's no way it's going to survive as a monster heel. What a good way to waste a title run while you have guys rotting who have strong and well built characters. Anyone.
All you say is that his character sucks and you fail to explain why. Or why he won't survive as a monster heel. All you have are assumptions and no facts.
Agreed. Saying "Oh, he's currently in a feud!" is an absolute asinine reasoning for that person not to enter a title match with Cena.
Actually as I pointed out earlier it's not. Dropping angles is the surest way to piss a smark off.
The point Colin was trying to make was that they could have went in an entirely different direction to BEGIN with, so that they could have a justifiable and credibile champ at the moment.
They could've but that would have required a total restructuring of storylines and at least a few angles dropped for no reason. Or at the very least a complete suspension of the logic that we so sorely want to see in wrestling. Kofi and Orton are in a hot feud but what the hell let's just drop it for no good reason. Yeah that's smart business.
While I don't absolutely hate Sheamus because I'm happy no matter what as long as Cena doesn't have the belt, I do think this coulda been a good time to give someone more deserving and credibile the title.
There is nobody who is a new star who logically fits that is more credible.
How exactly were Big Show, Kofi, Christian, and even Miz, "tainted"? Even Legacy could have looked credible and could have brought an intriguing storyline. All you needed to do there is have Randy interfere. I mean he talks about him every night on Raw anyways. Then let the Legacy implosion ensue.
The Legacy implosion is the only angle that I would've given a second thought to. But unfortunately there has been zero build up on that too.
Besides why would Randy Orton interfere to give someone else the title? The guy who is a selfish prick and only wants the title for himself.
Logic people.
