As a separate matter here, this is the second time this week I've heard something like this about WWE "being booked into a corner" and being in a "tough position". It's a terrible excuse. The first was Monday when James Steele mentioned how the writers were fucked with the Jericho return because there wasn't really a way to make the cryptic videos and stuff be part of his character.
It's like you're excusing WWE because they couldn't figure out how to finish off an angle. They didn't get forced into making the angle in the first place. If they start and angle and then can't finish it well, it's not "Poor WWE. They had their hands tied and they were booked into a corner and there was nothing they could do really." It should be "Why the fuck would they start an angle in the first place that they can't figure out where they wanna go with it!?"
And I'm sure there are ways they could have worked both situations out. It may have taken a lot of creativity and a shitload of attention to detail. Ultimately though, starting an angle because you think it sounds good but not having any idea where to go once you start it seems to be a common thing within WWE lately and it's a shit way to go about writing. Not just pro wrestling but anything. There's no form of storytelling where that wouldn't be mind-blowingly idiotic.
