The whole product is fukking corny and has been for some time. People pick and choose whom they wish to support.
That Daniel Bryan/Kane "hugging buddies" shyt is corny as hell. It sucks. Daniel Bryan isn't turning shyt to sugar. He's just rolling around in sewage until a new storyline mercifully plucks him out. He's a joke now. A typical comedy heel participating in bad skits. So much wasted potential.
As for Kane, how hard is it to book a psychopath? Dude had the best run ever after the first unmasking prior to that stupid ass Shane McMahon feud. That's how you book him. Not in anger fukking management. The "Embrace the Hate" campaign could have gone somewhere too. But instead Zack Ryder gets involved.

He needs to go back to wearing his halfsie and be a Long Island douche again.
Sheamus. He's my dude, I hate it had to be him.

He doesn't have the range for comedic skits or long promos that don't involve ass kicking. You don't pair up a long-winded guy like Punk with a guy like Sheamus for a promo. I like the Brogue Kick stuff, it makes him a killer. But then he opens his mouth.

They've had this dude apologize to heels on two separate occasions.

Be a star remember? You're supposed to apologize to your bully now?
Pipebomb Punk as a face was corny too. The only memorable pipe bomb was the first one. The other shyt was contrived as fukk. I will say with exception of the clusterfukk AJ storyline Punk had a lot of edge for a face. But that's like eating a bowl of shyt and thinking a kernel of corn buried in it is a bonus.
The Funkasaurus
Generic Cocky Heel 2a Cody Rhodes
Slightly Less Generic Cocky Heel 1.7 Dolph Ziggler
John Cena is just the tip of the corny iceberg. The shyt runs so deep below the surface Hagfish and those creepy fish with their own fish hooks live at the base.
The whole product is piss poor. Accept it like I have and it's more tolerable.
EDIT AJ as GM
