The WWE has all the talent in the world right now, no doubt. But they've still got a lot of issues to sort out if they are ever going to create those superstar types like back in 97-2002. They've got Cena and have done a tremendous job at protecting him. I know a lot of you got sick of him a long time ago, but he's got that true superstar feel to him. I will tell you we wil be iin for some kick ass programming when he turns heel.
They need to work out the issues of thier totally scripted shows, from the interviews to the predictable segments. This is my #1 problem with the WWE. I can literally sit here and predict the outcome, even down to who is going to interfere and interupt, of every segment. It's ridiculous. There's no spontaneity at all. Even with Cena, who has proven he can go out there and talk on his own. I hate it and it really kills every show.
They also need to write more in depth storylines, especially for the midcard. I'd like to see a lot more hate/passion/emotional attachment involved in these angles. I want to believe that the wrestlers feuding want to rip each other's heads off. This is probably my biggest gripe of them all. I used to love tuning in to see HBK get his ass kicked by Bret or HHH by Foley or Vince by Austin or Kane by Taker or the Outlaws by Foley/Funk or Booker by Rock. The wrting lacks these kind of passionate feuds
Which leads me to the inconsistency of booking. The WWE does this all the time. They fall in love with a guy, give him a nice push and then totally pull his legs out from under him. Punk, MVP, Orton in the past. It really confuses the audience and kills any kind of "superstar" perception they may of had for a particular wrestler. I understand some guys just don't have it, but guys like MVP and CM Punk?
These are just some of the things that kills the shows for me personally today
And to that Not Booked Poster, did you watch WWF 1997 at all? Come on now
