Way too early for Joe. He hasnt even headlined in NXT. I dont think WWE should be looking for Kevin Owens 2.0 right now. Too many indy geeks makes the show look like...well TNA. I would be trying to find someone who Cena can give a rub to, that would actually be able to have a chance of carrying the company down the road. |

You'd have Cena out of action for a couple months after the attack... You'd use the Rumble to stall and stretch out the eventual confrontation/revenge while keeping Joe looking like a fucking stud... You'd eventually have the match made for WrestleMania after Joe has spent 5 months building credibility as the guy who put Cena out of action and dominated the competition as US champion... and then you'd have Cena be triumphant at WrestleMania. Once. You wouldn't book multiple rematches so Cena can COMPLETELY remove any doubt that he's miles ahead of Joe. You'd have two guys step in to the scene to take each guys' attention and branch off onto their own paths. You'd have both guys keep looking strong. You wouldn't drill the point into people's heads that Cena is completely superior. He'd have his win, Joe would have that one single loss and down the road, if you wanna have a rematch, it would be HUGE. |

You could even keep their feud going in mini feud fashion by having them battle in MITB while being kept off each other for extreme rules and payback, assuming the schedule mirrors that of 2015. At battleground, replant the seeds to have the mania rematch at Summer Slam. It really isn't that hard.

Seems illogical that a feud goes from major injury to career threatening to well let's just move on then. And what would Joe's next program be? No matter what it would be a huge step down just like Owens'' was. And again people in the IWC would be like "burrrrrried". You guys respect Steve Austin, right? He said it was the right thing for Cena to go over Owens 2-1. |

There are ways to work two guys out of a program subtly if the writers put in even a little bit of effort. And yes, sometimes building up for months to one big match and not doing it again and again and again and again over the next month or two to the point where it's done to death and you can never come back to it down the road for another big fight atmosphere is much better for everyone involved. Instead every feud has to be run through in a couple months, every feud has to have a rubber match so everyone can be even. It's lazy booking and no one ends up getting over from it. |

Absolutely hate how they burn out match-ups now.

I was reading an interesting factoid about how Orton and Bryan actually had the longest streak of PPV main events against each other in 2013. A lot of that comes down to automatic rematches and lazy shit like that. I wonder how much more exciting Orton vs. Bryan could have been as a potential main event on its own, and not just the story of Bryan's rise making it.

You could say that about a lot of matches. I brought up Reigns v Wyatt last week. We're supposed to be excited that they're wrestling in a HITC match, but we've gotten them going at it on free tv, a cool table spot included, two weeks in a row, on top of the last two network specials. I don't understand how they could think anyone could give a fuck at this point.

That and they have a really bad habit majority of the time of just using the announcers to build up feuds or reasons why anything is happening. Either the good stuff gets relegated to WWE.com exclusive stuff or is just implied by the announcers.
For example, Owens wrestled Sin Cara last night because they had an incident backstage. Instead of showing it in an "Earlier Today" type recap, the announcers just said it happened and that was it. Crowd probably thought the whole thing was just some random match than something with real meaning to it. |

They're particularly bad at it with Randy Orton. Matches with Sheamus, John Cena and Daniel Bryan have just been completely run into the ground.

Had no clue Owens vs. Sin Cara had a story myself.
