There is no doubt that Punk's sudden departure and Bryan's injury have hurt them this year, but their writing is so terrible that this is what happens when you have no clue.
Think about it: Cesaro was getting over like mad after Wrestlemania, but instead of turning him face, which would have made sense since fans were dying to cheer for the guy like crazy, they kept him as a heel with Heyman, and now four months later, he is losing matches on RAW in two minutes.
Does anybody really want to see The Miz being a featured guy again every week? I thought we were done with the silly idea that that clown was a legit star.
The Brie/Stephanie feud closes RAW
two weeks in a row??
And how about this pathetic build-up of the Cena/Lesnar match? But hey, that is what happens when you put in the main event a guy who never shows up. They still haven't learned their lesson from the Batista disaster. If CM Punk is paying attention to this at all, he has to be thinking, "
This is why I left and don't intend on ever coming back."
The WWE will always do well cause they are the only major game in town, but it's sad how terrible it is now compared to what it used to be. Basically, WWE is like Metallica: fans are still hanging around cause they remember how good it used to be and they still cling to that hope that maybe someday, somehow, they will recapture that former greatness.
