Is CM Punk already stale? That happened faster than I thought if we're already looking for the next guy.
I still can't believe they put the belts on, and book both shows around two indy guys. It's amazing how fast people have kind of just gotten used to that idea. 3-4 years ago, this would have just been considered fantasy booking that would never really happen.
The WWE thought they could improve the product and have things be more exciting by responding to all the traditional criticisms, "Vince only pushes guys he made, Vince only pushes roided up hosses, etc". But I think those criticisms always missed the mark, and the WWE's response has missed the mark. If they can push two ROH stars to the top of the card and people still think they need "new stars", than I think we can just know for sure that people will ALWAYS say they need "new stars" no matter what. (People clamored for Cena to get a push in 2002-2003, he did, the cycle just repeats) I think there's other places they can improve their product and they should stop being obsessed with having 4 brand new guys win the world title and main event PPVs every year. I'd rather they focus on having more unpredictable storylines and better promos top to bottom. A quality TV show doesn't need brand new stars every year. Tony Soprano was interesting for the entire run of the Sopranos because it was well written, they didn't need to push a new guy ahead of him every year. I wonder if they've decided to listen TOO much to that particular group of cynical internet fans (who they'll never be able to please - those fans will just up the bar and now be pissed off if they don't do Punk v. Bryan in a 90 minute iron man match to unify the titles at Mania, and then if the WWE DID that, they'd complain that they didn't give those guys enough time).
