30 Things WWE is Doing Right
Got this from The Steel Cage, the wrestling side of the Newsday website with two former WWE writers. Quite interesting.

It's a good list, with the exception of Khali.

There are a few I don't agree with. The Great Khali, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase (I like them, but don't feel they have been treated well), Batista and a lot of the others are more "average" than good.

"30 Things WWE is Doing Right", yet the only positive thing they have to say about Adamle is that "he’s done an OK job as Raw’s GM".
They're "not sure" where they're going with Kane. Rhodes & Dibiase's push has been handled well (Sorry??? What was with the one week title-loss??? Still trying to figure that one out). Vickie - ENTERTAINING????? Puhhhhlease. |

Since the draft WWE has been excellent. As good as they have been since 2002. Period. Sure they've fucked up. But 1997-2002 wasn't perfect in every respect as some people make it out to be.

Agreed. I firmly believe that some people will NEVER be satisfied.

12 other things WWE is doing right.
1. Vince is off tv. 2. Jericho being a fucking amazing heel. 3. Putting up matches that fans want to see. i.e. Punk/ Jericho Kendrick/ Goldman, HBK/ Jericho a million times 4. Cryme Tyme- Having them have an association with Cena without pressing that too hard, stealing the titles last week fit their characters perfectly and looks like it may be a great feud. 5. Cena- They aren't pushing him down our throats nearly as much as they used to... and that match with Batista was in my opinion an excellent display of strength with some innovative stuff. I legitemetly said 'Holy fucking shit' when he reversed that one move and like picked up Batista over his shoulder, it looked like he was picking up someone who weighed less than him, not 50+ pounds more. I'm not saying Batista dwarfed Cena by any means but dude it made him look mad strong when he was able to toss him around like he did. 6. More emphasis on smaller wrestlers - The big guy charecters are not gone by any means, nor really should they be they have their place for sure. But Punk is a champ, Noble has a regular role, Kenderick is getting a push, Evan Bourne is smaller than a lot of guys, but the thing is they aren't pushing these guys as simple underdogs they add something to it. They are being taken seriously and not made to job. 7. Miz and Morrison- When I first saw miz I saw him as nothing but a joke, pairing him with the excellent Morrison was a great idea, they don't need the belts to get over, but when they had them they did amazing things, the dirt sheet is also always amazing, although I thought the version on ECW was a little watered down which brings me to 8. WWE.com- more exclusive shows/ promos to build charecters is a great thing especially because they can focus on longer match times (more on that in a minute or an hour depending on how long it takes you to read [TerranRich, I'm looking at you ![]() 9. More match emphasis- I think they are really focusing on matches now a lot more than they have in recent years which is really nice. 10. Feuds in general- They have created some really great unique rivalries in the last year and a half which are better than I can remember in a long time. Y2J/ HBK, MVP/Hardy, Edge/ Taker/ Vickie/la familia. Really all the angles have been a lot better... that could be another point. 11. Giving three guys who've never held a title a shot at the wwe title at Unforgiven- regardless of how this goes the worst wrestlers in this match are Triple H and Jeff Hardy. When those two are the WORST you have some amazing competition. Note: Triple H is one of the best in WWE his style however is a little stale but always works, Hardy is amazing if a little too low on the psychology at times. 12. Better Angles in general- Mysterio/ Kane may be a little shoddy now, but Punk/ JBL was pretty great. Foley Doing what he did for Edge and then Edge going psycho was amazing, I just think they are using better ideas and fixing their fuck ups, which may seem akward at first but better than trying to hold on to something dead.

LOL Clox, I was actually reading your entire post, in its entirety, when I saw my name mentioned. See? It's not that hard to read more than one line of a post at a time.
That is what you were referring to, wasn't it? But yeah, I agree with most of the original post contents as far as what WWE is actually doing right. Sure, there are things that WWE are doing wrong, but it's small potatoes, so to speak. Mmm, potatoes. |

I was just fucking with you, I was gonna say BDC but I knew he'd get all pissy and I figured you could take a joke. It was pretty much random.

I was actually referring to the fact that you do not read very fast.

I agree with pretty much all of those. Like most, I disagree with Khali. I'd enjoy Khali much more as a face. He needs to do some kind of build up of segments with him learning broken english, mixed with his usual dose of gibberish. I think he could work as a midcard face.
