Wrestlemania 29 fukked Up Present & Future Storylines

[DaylitoJames]

After watching Raw and reading the spoilers of Smackdown I just have the face right now at what I'm seeing (except for Mark Henry he gets the from me but I digress) Post-Wrestlemania season in the past dealt with the fallout from shocking events that happened in Wrestlemania combined with young hungry nikkas trying to earn their spot for next year. But this year's Wrestlemania season was the most boringest lazy written non-memorable Wrestlemania I've ever seen (except for Punk vs Taker and the live Living Color performance)

There is no fallout from Wrestlemania this year and because of that every storyline now is boring and/or doesn't make any sense and seems forced. Why is Big Show feuding with Orton? Why is Sheamus being a bully towards Henry? Why is HHH STILL feuding with Lesnar? Why is NONE of the midcarders being featured in anything worth promoting? Where are the Prime Time Players? Cena after all these years as champion is still . WWE fukked up turning Ryback heel virtually destroying his fanbase cause he's struggling as a heel, he should have been a hungry babyface gunning for the champion instead of becoming a typical jealous whinning heel.

Is it that hard to write decent wrestling storylines in 2013? Us brethern in the TSC constantly come up with creative shyt on this forum on a daily basis with no effort. Well hell Ed G's constant campaign of Randy Orton becoming champion again made me a believer... a Brock vs Orton match for the WWE Championship at Summerslam would be new and interesting but we won't get that and that saddens me. I lost the point of my rant so let me end this by saying that part of me knows I should just stop watching for a while but like a battered housewife on Law & Order: SVU I hop on the fukkery mobile and come back every monday with the face. I see why Vince is called Coke Boy... I'm still too strung out from that high I got from wrestling when I was younger... I just can't walk away.

I enjoy Ryback as a heel, it's just that Creative fukked up his turn. They should've kept his character the same, just made him more vicious and aggressive towards everyone.

Instead they completely destroyed and buried his entire persona by having him listen to a 10 minute, typical boring, garbage, childish humour Cena promo.

That's fukking unbelievable! As if the guy who ran over everybody in his build up and only lost on PPVs because of having bad luck
or being screwed now just would sit there, listen and actually be intimidated of bad breath Super Cena.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Its meant to be fukked up

 

[R=G]

Well...the booking only took care of Cena/Punk/Sheamus and didn't give a fukk about anything else. That's why Raw SUCKS more than ever. LOL@900k running from the Blandy segment and the fukking Cena main event doing just 126k

 

[Project Downtime]

So sad but so damn true.

Prime time players suck. Tsc likes all these garbage ass wrestlers jut cuz they're black lol

 

[NOSaintsFan02]

I don't understand this "Sheamus is the bully" logic. Did Mark Henry not just randomly attack him twice? How is Sheamus now getting revenge constitute as him being the bully in this story?

Cause Sheamus is over-doing the revenge part. When Mark attacked him backstage twice eventually Sheamus speared him back backstage to get his revenge. That should have put them on even ground to fight it out for respect like a babyface should do.

Instead they got Sheamus keep sucker punching Mark ESPECIALLY during times when Mark didn't do anything to deserve it. The tug-of-war when he loss and just Henry that was since Mark was trying to win that fair and square. Then on Smackdown Mark LEGIT beat Sheamus in arm wrestling but instead of accepting defeat to rise above it he just Henry again just cause he could and that's what bullies do... they hurt people just cause they can.

Well if that's the case then all babyfaces are bullies. (except goody boy John Cena)

It's simple wrestling logic: Heel does something bad to good guy. Good guy takes his moments of getting revenge whenever possible. It isn't a "ok, you got me twice so I got you twice now we're even and can do things fair and square." The beef has already been set thanks to the heel so now the baby face is free to do whatever he wants to against him until the feud culminates.

.

In this fukkery Era a lot of these faces are bullies: Miz be on that "Perez Hilton" bullshyt, Jericho with his name calling, Cena being Cena, Sheamus taking things too far, Orton kicking people in the head, and etc...

Maybe that's why they have Cena promoting the "Be A Star" campaign knowing that people will do the opposite of what he says... they are really telling us to be a bully

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Sheamus is NOT being a bully to Henry.

I know dudes on here don't like him, but come on.

The beef has already been set thanks to the heel so now the baby face is free to do whatever he wants to against him until the feud culminates.

Think about the way that this looks though. It's one thing for Sheamus to live by Hammurabi's Code. Most viewers can empathize with "eye for an eye." It makes logical sense for us. But coming out after a guy has won two tug of war matches to challenge him to a third one and fukk him over is dumb. It makes Sheamus look like an a$$hole rather than someone invoking righteous fury. Same with the arm wrestling sucker punch. There's no catharsis to it.

Think about Jericho attacking Fandango on the RAW after WrestleMania. Was it excessive? If you take it as an isolated event. But when you take the whole feud into account, which to that point consisted entirely of Fandango beating the ever-loving shyt out of Jericho and embarrassing him at every turn, followed by him getting the cheapest of cheap victories against him at WM. In that sense, the attack could be said to be justified because Jericho got ZERO heat back from those attacks. In contrast, Sheamus gets his heat back every time something is done to him, then feels the need to go further than that. That's not a good face.

Does it always square with reality? No, not really. But this is storytelling with broad stereotypes, it's not exactly supposed to square with reality.

Damien Sandow vs. Randy Orton lost a whopping 725,000 viewers, including 19% of all Males 18-49.

Sheesh, Orton is no type of draw is he? Anyone care to explain why Orton is consistently the worst top draw WWE has right now. Ratings dropped during every reign, these types of losses aren't uncommon to his quarters (and yes, that quarter usually has a big ratings drop, bot not that big), what the hell is it?

And I say that as a guy that generally likes Orton (though I really don't think he's being utilized well right now).
