There are definitely ways to keep your top guys from being put in situations where one has to lose weekly. And yes, a squash match or two scattered in there isn't the worst thing in the world. |

What I'm getting at is, I can see you're passionate about Ryback, but every scenario you're throwing forward has pretty much been done by someone else. Will he be a big name in the future, quite possibly. But not being able to see the big picture that there are other people in the company who have the top spots and have worked their asses off for years to be there is pretty narrow minded. The Shield are being put over now, but the faces will get theirs in the end. It's wrestling 101. It's easier for a face to lose and regain credibility than for a group to keep losing and keep it. Austin/HHH/Rock all started off feuding together, and when it was their time they blew through the roof. Ryback not winning at PPV's now and having people (The Shield) built to look strong against him now can only mean good things for him when it's his time to destroy them when they're on top. |

How to make a wrestling star 101 is the easiest thing ever: have a guy that beats everybody. If he has "it", the rest will pretty much take care of itself. If not, he will falter or it will become apparent that that's not the way to go with him. This is where Ryback currently stands. He looks like a killer for sure. He just doesn't seem to have that gear change or create that anticipation that makes the roof come off ala Goldberg. And for somebody you're trying to push as a big time babyface, that's a problem.

He was put in a situation to make the crowd go nuts. And he did. They just haven't really followed up with him. He's been stagnant since. |

but as I said in the other thread, I'd say that has a hell of a lot more to do with people wanting to see Punk get killed/Punk doing his job very well. Put him in with 3 fresh, cool, non-chicken shit, stand their ground heels and it's a different story.

Yes. And as I said, it's their own doing. I personally would love to see squash matches on RAW. But seeing Cena/Sheamus vs. Big Show/Punk etc is "the norm" now, you can't suddenly start booking Kofi Kingston vs. Cody Rhodes as your RAW main event.[/QUOTE]
You could main event Raw with something like Kofi vs Cody if the last segment is a non-match segment of some sort. If not, it doesn't always have to be main eventer vs main eventer. The first Sheamus vs Sandow match a few weeks after Raw went to 3 hours permanently was a perfect TV match for me. You had a main eventer and an up and coming midcard guy that you, presumably wanna make a star. Sandow looked amazing, Sheamus came out with the win in a good, long match. Sheamus justified why he's a main event star with the good win and Sandow justified why he's not there yet but he can break out at any moment. The roster is stacked enough to where you can use Raw main events to position guys on the card. And Raw has been ending with in-ring segments a lot anyway so it's not like you're forced to have the main event match as the closer. You can let a couple up and comers get the spot once in a while. |

It's actually something Cena kinda lacks and I think part of the reason an older crowd can't get behind him. Cena's more the "heart and determination" type. Not exactly the kinda guy you watch and say "Oh shit, this guy I hate is gonna fucking die." |

For sure. But that's the look and the push coming into play. Any guy that looks like Ryback and gets even half of the push he got is going to get a strong reaction initially, that's just how wrestling works, looking the part is the biggest part of the battle. It's what comes after that separates the Batista's from the Chris Masters. No idea which way Ryback will fall atm. But either way he's going to get a bunch of chances to do so.

Rock recently stated he's signing a new deal after Mania although it wouldn't take effect until after his next films are done. Won't show up until maybe Summer Slam or Survivor Series the earliest.
Think its later in the month since his current deal goes into Mania week and maybe the week after that. |

So he's still gonna be taking off. Even with an extension, I can't see any situation where he could possibly hang on to the belt.

They could do the Punk situation where Punk "left" as champion only for the next night to declare a new tournament to find the next champion.
WWE could easily start that the following week the Rock is gone although it does require them to tell the audience Rock is leaving which could impact some of the ratings (mainly those who just want to see him). |

I like James Storm, but TNA is a clusterfuck. It's like watching an actor you enjoy in a movie that sucks.

God dammit (for CSL). If it looks like it is what I think it is, Miz proposed to Maryse.
