Think about this shyt

This is the first era ever that''s putting so much stock into what goes on down the road. Not long ago, the E/F didn't start making serious strides towards Mania ideas till around the Fall before. Even that, they had shyt like injuries or other sudden changes force different directions than planned.

shyt seemed a bit corny at first, but the foreshadowing of feuds via subtle hints during promos or twitter beefs have caused reactions from fans about possible future matchups, YEARS from it actually taking place.

The E been culprits of some major continuity issues of late, mainly Vince suddenly back in power after Triple H said he was out. To me, that was scrapping a bad idea, because we know Triple H's character wasn't going to be relegated to exec duties for the long haul, and we'd see through that shyt without a problem.

I'm starting to appreciate the value of setting things up as a means of testing our interests, along with allowing the stories to slow-cook into what we got this past Wrestlemania. True, when shyt was actually announced, that year thing was some bullshyt. The back and forth lost steam in a bad way that last month going into the event. Yet, shyt was huge regardless, and the payoff was great for everyone.

King Vince, I doubted you, and in some ways still kinda do, but you always bring me back :win:

They're only consistent with their top guys.

Unlike in the past where the whole card was well thought out.

:what: most consistent it's EVER been :merchant:


:whoa: I need you to re-think that one brethren

I say that shyt always happened in pockets, or one year runs at most with storylines. There have been times when bullshyt went down after a good story was finished up, and fukkery had to reign.

fukkery still has a place, but at least they're making an effort to keep shyt setup for down the road and a big payoff.

Look no further than Wrestlemania 2000, and how that debacle turned out :comeon:

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about breh. back in the 80s, everything was planned out months and months in advance. in the 90s continuity was a hell of allot more consistent than today. Your only "evidence" of this today is Rock announcing he's main eventing PPVs a year ahead and months ahead?

What top guys :heh: you mean Cena?

The last two Wrestlemania's have been built around their number one guy Cena getting in the ring with The Rock, a LEGEND. and the two years before that Wrestlemania was built around Taker and HBK. Now it appears the next few years going forward will center around Brock, Rock, and Austin heading into their biggest show of the year. There hasn't been anything consistent about WWE in years. The only thing that they are consistent with is going out of their way to NOT make a star out of anyone not named Cena.

Have Punk, Sheamus, and D Bry not been a focal point of the product this year?

You guys are gonna have to get over this Cena thing he's gonna be in the mix.

Punks still champ after a year long heel turn build, D Bry brought credibility back to the tag division, and they still think Sheamus is the real deal.

Maybe the E should do like boxing and give everyone a heavyweight title just to please all :heh:

Everything you said is true. but let's be real, they are not looking at D Bry or Sheamus when shyt hits the fan, what those two are doing is secondary as far as ratings or anything else, it's all CENA. This whole thing has been about Cena for 6+years. and the product has been suffering for the longest as a result.
