Discussion about the writing in the WWE
I've heard a few complain about the writing with wwf-fan#1 being the harshest critic. Maybe it's me not seeing what others see, but I think it's been the best in years.
Jericho-Punk was a good build up to their Wrestlemania match.
Punk-Bryan: The IWC went wild about this, and claimed the only storyline needed was who was better, although I disagreed. The addition of Kane was brilliant
Rock-Cena was great
Kane/Bryan anger management thing has been gold
Cena vs Lesnar was solid, although I think the wrong person went over. Was a been fan of Cena going on a massive losing streak, winning the Rumble and winning the title at Wrestlemania, but whatever
Lesnar vs HHH was good
Sheamus's build up as a face has gone better than I expected, and I like how they are giving Ziggler things to do without rushing his MITB briefcase, while constantly keeping him lurking in the background.
Punk/Cena has been very good, and I know people love the addiiton of Paul Heyman, although I don't think he adds anything to Punk, and would be much better in an authority role
AJ as GM has been decent. I expected it to blow, and I still dislike her.
The resurrgance of the Tag division has been a nice surprise and people seem to enjoy it.
Ryback and Sandow's build up has been wonderful
So where am I not seeing this bad storyline writing?
Sure there are things I hate: Santino's run with the U.S title. He doesn't need a title to get over. Not a huge fan of Cesaro at all. Think it'd be better suited on Sandow
There's things the company couldn't control : Orton testing positive AGAIN, Jericho's mishap in Brazil, AW's stupid rape joke.
I think it has more to do with the level of performers and the lack of gimmicks. I love Cody Rhodes, but he's not a maineventer, so there's really only so much you can do with him in the upper-mid card. Cesaro's lack of mic skills, Kofi Kingston: same as Rhodes. He's an upper mid carder and always will be
Anyways, feel free to tell me what I'm not seeing.
