Coasting for years and now suddenly freaking out and trying to push guys spur of the moment because Cena isn't gonna be around forever might not have been the best plan. No one has momentum.

This has already beer touched on but; they actively try to dampen the heat of some guys. Cesaro is the single best example. He was gaining traction but they didn't want to run with him just yet, so they cooled him in favour of Reigns. Now Reigns is injured and it's a scrabble to force people back up the card.

They got lucky with Austin, and they ran with it. Seems now they're so reluctant to ride any kind of momentum. Remember a month ago when Swagger was over as hell as a babyface? You might point to it being a "Patriot Pop" but over is over. Now where is he? Losing on Main Event. Now I'm not saying Swagger is a top guy but he's definitely a good hand. They could have put the US title around his waist and added that to the USA-Russia stuff. Instead it's just on Sheamus and means so very little.

Just run with what lands in your lap. Whether it's a hot midcard angle or the next big megastar.

Speaking of the next big megastar...

Is it me or has Fandango been off TV lately? Maybe time for a more serious repackage?
