Wake me up when december ends

It's sometimes hard to see the bigger picture. This is clearly evident by this thread.

I would say 90% off current booking is spot on to get where they need to go.

Its funny to me to read someone criticize the booking of an angle and then go on to explain the reasoning for the booking in the same post.

I'll start with Rollins. Rollins won the title in the most undeserving way possible. He cashed in MITB and didn't even pin the champ. I would guess the medium range plan is a rematch with Cena fir the WWE title. Rollins is the heel still, so a logical way to build up intetest is to have the babyface win non title (or in this case US title matches) to build up the excitment for the babyface overcoming the dastardly heel champ. Kane is just there as a time filler. It's always been done in WWE. They have tentpole shows that they spend extra time building towards.

Second, and this is my favorite lack of comprehension - Big Show vs Cesaro. The big match they are CURRENTLY promoting is Show vs Lesnar on a NETWORK SPECIAL. In case you guys didn't know, those NETWORK SPECIALS are important because they help drive additional NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS. How many guys on the roster can you put against Brock that would make you think even for a second that Brock may lose? There's not many. Spoiler alert: Brock is most likely going to win. That heats Brock back up for Taker - which is the most important match to sell this month - again on another NETWORK SPECIAL. It's like the most logical booking of all time.

Now here's where most of you guys miss the boat. Cesaro is gaining popularity. Big Show needed someone to heat him up to get ready for Brock. Sure, you could pick another guy to heat up Show, but Cesaro is someone the people care about, and in the long run this will help Cesaro. If you actually watch the fights, you will see Cesaro gets put over in commentary for putting up a fight and trying crazy strength moves against Big Show. But he keeps coming up short. Once Show is done putting over Lesnar strong, I would bet you will see the tide magically change in the ongoing Cesaro-Big Show issue. Instead of Cesaro just going over Show in 5 minutes and quickly heading nowhere back weeks ago when this started, you get multiple weeks of telling a story of Cesaro overcoming the odds. Terrible terrible booking, amirite?

Cesaro-Lesnar? Amazing idea. But not for anytime soon. Cesaro isn't there yet. Working with vets like Show, learning how to be a sympathetic babyface will help him get there. It's all about timing.
