I had a discussion with a friend of mines and we usual debate on what we see from WWE and TNA weekly. He feels one way and I feel another but the one thing I was blunt about was that wrestling storylines this year in 2012 have mostly been shyt and could have been way better had me and my online brethern had written them. Now I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I know what works and what is just plain garbage. So here's my opinions on how I wished storylines this year should have went down... and feel free TSC to add your opinions on how angles should have gone this year.
Kane/Cena "Embrace The Hate" Storyline - First of all this storyline should have never happened because NO ONE had anything to gain from it. It ruined Zack Ryder's well deserved push he worked hard for in 2011, it forced Eve to turn heel because of the "hoeski" taunts (lucky for her she's good at being a bytchy heel), it made no sense why Kane cared about anything Cena was doing. Now had Cena used the "embrace the hate" storyline to slowly turn into a heel then it would have been acceptable. WWE should have had Cena off tv training to prepare against The Rock and air the training montages weekly. That way the Rock/Cena rivarly would have been taken more seriously instead of battle raps, concerts, and snitching on people for writing words on their wrists... smh.

CM Punk/Johnny Ace "Austin vs McMahon 2012" Storyline - Looking back I still don't quite understand how Cena vs Johnny Ace happened when they were mainly building up the hatred between Johnny Ace and CM Punk. Not that Ace fighting Punk would have been better than fighting Cena, but it would have made more sense. It's still a damn shame how they rushed Punk/HHH, they had Punk calling Stephanie a whore for weeks, it should have led to Jericho comming back due to Stephanie calling him to do her dirty work since HHH became C.O.O. making him unable to beat up his wrestlers... and it would have made Chris Jericho's return and the Wrestlemania 28 match make more sense than using the "CM Punk is a drunk just like his father!" angle.

Daniel Bryan/AJ "You Da Boss" Storyline - Truth be told I had no problem with AJ this year until the wedding. The fact that Vince McMahon just came out and named AJ the general manager for no reason at all makes the least amount of sense especially when he could have made it made sense had he gave a 2 minute explaniation. All Vince had to say was:
Vince: "WWE Universe, sorry to interrupt this wedding but I have to announce who I'm going make the new Raw G.M. Unlike the other G.M.s in the past who had nothing but selfish motives I want this new general manager to be interactive with the fans today. I especially want a general manager to be young enough to be involved with the Twitter/Tout business that we're intergrating with the WWE today. AJ I've noticed how you captured the hearts of the WWE Universe this year and the fact that you manipulated 3 world champions with ease makes me firmly believe that you can handle the role as new general manager... but under one condition: you cannot get married! This job needs all of your time to do, marriage will just dillute your vision and I need you at your best, so what do you say?
D-Bry: Sorry to break the news to you Vince but AJ loves me and she's gonna say....
AJ: YES! YES! YES!
D-Bry: No! No! No! NO! NO! NO!
Then I would have had her drop the "crazy" gimmick and have her be a live animated "Zooey Desheneel" type boss (but way less quirky and annoying), have her change her theme to something from an anime [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ9lHrRrmG4"]Yu Yu Hakusho Full Opening Song English - YouTube[/ame]
