Yeah WWE accidentally built all their storylines to come together at the biggest show of the year with Bryan overcoming huge odds. |

Well considering he got jobbed in the opener and wasn't even in the rumble it's not exactly a huge stretch. Pretty sure they've so much as admitted it wasn't i the cards, and I've heard Bautista confirm it I'm quite sure.

Confirm what exactly? The TV storyline that it was originally Bats vs Orton? That's called kayfabe. |

The product is lacking, there is no true steam behind it, and whenever there is any steam they are very quick to go back to the status quo as fast as possible. In saying that, the in ring product is pretty good, but with no meaning. They are clearly booking week to week, and the business itself is just too big for a guy like Vince to keep up with anymore, but he's the only game in town. |

WWE tried to pass it off as the whole thing being planned from the start in a Rolling Stones or Grantland interview but nobody believed it. Got ridiculed by the Observer I think for trying to imply any of what they said was true. |

You're just picking and choosing who to believe. The reality showed that they had Bryan in the mix for Mania right from the start and followed through with it. Albeit maybe some elements of the overall story changed along the way, but the end game was always put Bryan on top and overcome the doubters and naysayers. You PREFER to believe some musings of a con man who's whole business is predicated on telling half truths and making crap up to generate interest in his product. Its really hilarious how much you believe in him. |

You just described everyone in the wrestling business. And I think if there's one thing that's clear, it's that people don't necessarily believe Dave Meltzer, he's just a fairly credible source comparitively.

So why do you think WWE continues to be so successful if the product is so crap? Ever think maybe you're tastes are not aligned with the product, and you should just stop watching the product? So many people like you complain and complain, and yet you have a pretty vivid memory of every angle and match. Its like you're complaining because you think its the right thing to do. Surely if something annoyed you that much you would quit watching. Or maybe you just prefer being miserable. |

The reason why the WWE is successful is the same reason the Simpsons is successful, resting on their laurels from back when the put forth a superior product, and surviving on being a brand more than a good product. WWE is the only real game in town, and their closest competition is TNA and let's not get into that mess. |
