WWE on a roll?

[He who knows more than Nation]

So we got the throw back Raw, the Miz cashing in his MITB a week later and the KOTR Raw, which thus far has been awesome and Sheamus/Morrison is a candidate for best TV match of the year, just an absolutely fun match that was befitting of the KOTR finals.

So with so much youth being the forefront of the WWE recently and well integrated, is the WWE hitting it's stride in it's transition to get their youth some air time and get them over? Thoughts? Discuss.

God No.... I'll give you that WWE television has been better the past 3 weeks, but come on. Look how shitty survivor series was, and most of the 2010 PPV's. Ratings and Buy Rates have been the lowest in quite some time. Hell, TNA can put on a string of 3 good weeks of TV of a row. (Sarcastic joking) But really, it take mores than 3 weeks in my opinion to be on a roll.

As far as the youth movement goes, it's smart to set up guys for the future. So in that aspect i like it. The problem is they is don't follow through on their pushes. A wrestler wins his first championship, and then drops right back down to mid card.

So i mean i like the youth movement, but that doesn't mean their on a roll. They aren't doing the youth movement cause they want to, they are doing it because they need to, and it's the right thing to do.


And Note: The PPV's won't be getting any better with Miz and Kane as the champs.

The younger guys have been getting over well and have been getting great amounts of TV time imo, The Miz is Champion, Morrison's been involved in an actual midcard type of feud and its been good, Del Rio is the best part of Smackdown for me, Daniel Bryan is US Champ and has been having some good title defences and the same goes for Dolph only Bryan's matches are better obviously because Bryan himself is in them, they're all doing really well and are much more interesting and entertaining to watch then the usual stars have been lately.

Of course when Triple H returns which should be soon he's going to come back, beat the Miz for the belt in less then a minute and destroy every guy who has something going for him, but for now its good

Raw has been awesome the past few weeks. With that said, I'll leave it right there because jumping in the gun with the WWE nowadays usually leads to disappointment. However, I can't even remember when the storylines were this intriguing. Cena coming back to get revenge on Nexus, being as predictable as it was, is actually pretty entertaining in that you don't know what's gonna happen next, I like it, and he's away from the fucking title where he should be forever. We all know what what Sheamus' winning the King of the Ring is setting up. And I truly haven't been this excited since the summer of 2007 >_>. The biggest 'swerve', imo, hasn't really been brought up but it was just last night when Cole jumped in the ring and BETRAYED HIS BROADCAST PARTNER. How awesome was that, fucking people were going apeshit in the comments like I've never seen before. I've been waiting for Cole to legitimately get involved and help Miz in a match. This almost confirms that JR is the GM with even Lawler getting involved, he may even be revealed next week! I'm sad Punk didn't point out how long these guys have worked together and Cole straight up cost him his life-time dream. Can't wait until Raw, rofl.

The last few weeks have definately been better. Cena being 'fired' made me smile (even though he is back for revenge, ugh) and Miz cashing in was fucking AWESOME. It is such a relief to see someone else with the belt instead of the same old guys. Sadly, WWE have a habit of putting on a few good shows and then going to shit again. I was hoping it would last this time but this Juan Cena garbage is just Blue in so many ways.

^^^I don't know why people are moaning about the Juan Cena? It's FUCKING HOUSE SHOWS.

 

[Airfixx]

^^^ Absolutely.

Pardon the pun, but the Juan Cena schtick is AWEMSOME - I love it!!!! lol

I haven't watched a whole lot, but what I've seen has been better than what I've seen earlier this year. Now, ever since I found out I have HDNet, I don't miss Ring of Honor for anything. Even if Raw comes on an hour earlier, it can wait until my 60 minutes of professional wrestling is finished, then I move to sports entertainment. I don't mind Miz capturing the title. Like another member, Im not entirely sold on him (that's an understatement for the other board member...LOL), but I like the guy. I liked his reaction when he won the title, and to be honest, the WWE has a budding star who should only gain more notariety as time passes. I watched some KOTR and it was pretty decent. The guys were putting some good stuff on and it kept my interest. As for PPV buyrates, I still laugh at that. It's a number that can be affected by any number of things. People have started to get rid of cable and go with Internet television. The economy isn't coming back like the "experts" have told us. And with the UFC's rising popularity, people are probably choosing to put their $45 a month towards a UFC ppv instead of a WWE. All in all, I think WWE is going to get better. One of the biggest reasons I have been tuning in more and more is because of Danielson and Im sure we'll soon see Seth Rollins making his way to NXT. Rollins is Tyler Black. If I've learned one thing by watching this promotion since 1985 it's that it's just like a rollercoaster. When it's up, it does very well, then drops off for a tick, then comes roaring back uphill.

I've actually been enjoying RAW over the past month or so. The whole PG era has finally settled in and I really think they're starting to find a nice groove. I still find it pretty funny how people are all amazed that they're pushing young talent. THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE! Everyone with the exception of a few guys on the roster right now are young talent. But with that said, a lot of these guys are finally starting to get over the way they should have been a long time ago.

Nexus is really starting to grow on me as a stable. Now that you take a look back at how much destruction has been attributed to them over the past few months it really does make it seem more interesting. Wade Barrett is really coming into his own and has been doing a phenomenal job. How many people can make their DEBUT leading a top heel stable. The John Cena angle is going pretty well at this point. And let's not bitch about Juan Cena... it's just a way to keep him active at house shows. Actually pretty damn funny if you ask me.

Sheamus is KOTR, setting up the second leg of his feud with HHH. He's finally getting over as the monster heel he should have been from the beginning. The guy is looking pretty damn unbeatable right now.

Miz is holding the title, nothing but win there.

CM Punk on commentary? C'mon... shit is pretty awesome right now.

Raw has been better the past few weeks then it has in a very long time. We are getting to see three hour specials every other week this month and I love it.

 

[straight_edge76]

I really feel that the WWE is moving in the right direction, The Miz is obviosuly being groomed as a star in the making, as in Sheamus, Barrett and to a lesser extent Morrison. The Nexus, who initally I didnt care for have really started to become one of the more interesting aspects of WWE televsion. The ratings/buyrates may not be very much different than now, but they are setting themselves up for a potential rise as The Miz, Sheamus, Barrett and maybe even Morrison begin to climb to that level of Cena and Orton as top guys.

Plus Punk on commentary? Fuckin' awesome.

I don't care if it is just house shows, it's a gay idea.

I think we can disregard any of your comments as we all know that all your taste is in your mouth. It's funny and makes perfect sense.
