Get it together Vince.







      This post is going to be a bit different than most of the things I post here. I have been a professional wrestling fan for the better part of thirty years. I have seen many good matches and many good wrestlers. I liked Big Boss Man and Junk Yard Dog and many others. I never really cared for the Ultimate Warrior as a wrestler. One time Triple H said that Warrior was THE most unprofessional wrestler he had ever worked with. Of course, after he died, Triple H changed his tune and said how good Warrior was. Well, now it is a couple of days after Survivor Series and I think the same thing. Some wrestlers are good and some should just be working a drive thru some where. I know it is all scripted. Nobody can be a fan for as long as I have and not know that. So why does the script shaft Roman Reigns TWICE? The first time it was Seth Rollins taking Riegns' opportunity away by cashing in the Money In The Bank (MITB) briefcase and then pinning Brock Lessner to win the belt. This time it was Sheamus cashing in to pin Reigns for the belt. I am getting tired of the WWE toying with the fans. I know for some reason, a lot of fans don't like Roman Reigns but, who cares? For once the script should be written for Reigns to actually WIN and hold onto the belt. Problem is, weather that is in the works or not, he just might get injured before it happens. Again, I know that the WWE matches are scripted and it IS Entertainment but, I am not being entertained by this at all. By this time you might be thinking why don't I just tune out and not watch it anymore. One person tuning out will not change what the writers are doing. It would actually take the WWE to lose millions from people getting rid of their subscriptions to the WWE Network, not buying the merchandise, stop watching all the programming and not showing up at live events. I know, not enough people will do that because, like me, they are also fans and choose to go along with what is written. I used to go to live events when they came to San Diego. At one time I had two replica belts. Both were over three hundred dollars a piece. I no longer go to those events or buy the merchandise. I will admit, I DO still watch RAW and sometimes Smack Down but, not as much as I used to.

      The problem is, I like watching professional wrestling and their aren't many programs on air or that are traveling around that is the mass promo machine as the WWE is. Yes, I will still watch RAW and remain disappointed with what the writers along with Triple H and Vince McMahon decide to do with where the wrestlers go but, I still have the right to call them out on these things. I never liked Alberto Del Rio either and they brought him back. The Dudley Boys are back as well but, they are not as good as they once were. I was excited when they returned. I was thinking they would be Tag team champions inside of two weeks but, they aren't. Shame on you WWE writers for doing the things you are doing and not letting wrestlers truly deserving of holding titles do so. Shame on you, Vince McMahon for also doing the same thing as you have the final say on everything. The ONLY, and I mean ONLY wrestler that I am happy is even part time is the Undertaker. He is getting up in age but, still gives us all a great show. While I am on the topic of part time wrestlers, why am I supposed to believe that Randy Orton messed up his shoulder while taking out the trash? How does that happen? What the heck was he throwing away, a Buick? When his IS wrestling, it is always the same thing, like all wrestlers. To me, he has become boring and predictable. I am all for wrestlers being part time but, only if they are exciting when they DO wrestle.

      Now I am going to upset a lot of other WWE fans. Get ready. One wrestler a lot of people seem to like, I can't stand. The fans cheer for him and demand he return to the squared circle. I for one hope he stays away. Who is this wrestler you might wonder? Well, none other than the weirdo himself, Daniel Bryan. See, the thing about him is that he thinks he is better than he actually is. He is a vegan which I really don't care if he is or not but, because he is, he has refused to do traditional treatments to get him back in the ring and as a result, he is out for a lot longer than most. He claims he loves his fans and is worried about money so, why not just do whatever is needed to return sooner? He is a strange person to me. I am sure he might be a down to Earth person. I have never met him in person so, I really don't know. He is just a strange person.


     Anyway. I am almost done with my rant. Let me finish up by saying this; at one point in time, the WWE rocked. They seemed to have a great combination of talent and writers. Those were probably the glory years for them and the fans. Today however, they are under utilizing good talent and are producing storylines that hardly make sense. They bring back wrestlers hoping to put a little zing back into their programming but, then those wrestlers don't go anywhere and become boring. The WWE needs to be totally stripped down and rebuilt if they want to be the WWE of yesteryear. I have always wanted to use that word. If the WWE keeps doing what they are doing, I predict that they will vanish form the scene within five years. By the way, I think one wrestler who should be put in more main event matches is Dolph Ziggler. Some don't like him but, I do. I remember him from one of the failures the WWE created, The Spirit Squad. He is the only one still in the WWE from that group. I know he is retiring in two years so why not make his last year a memorable one and give him a huge push? Knowing the WWE, they probably wont.
