Thoughts on the impact Monday and Friday's shows have on FUW leagues
UGH. These are getting harder to write because frankly the WWE is terrible right now. Plodding storylines, uninteresting matches, just awful stuff on nearly every level. Sure if you drink enough things like a 41 man over the top battle royale can be fun, but I feel sorry for all the not of age jimmies that have to watch 4 hours of this every week.
If you just put any single one of the storylines under a microscope you can see how bad it's getting. One of the worst is the Divas storyline. So Kelly Kelly fends off Phoenix for about 6 years worth of tapings and PPVs, and finally loses to her a few weeks ago at Hell in a Cell. They follow that up with Kelly going crazy and viciously beating Phoenix, which was asinine to say the least, but at least it provided a general direction to the story. Phoenix and Kelly would obviously have a rematch, and the fans were to believe that this new crazed Kelly Kelly could hold her own against Phoenix. Hell, it could have been a no holds barred match where the irony would be that Kelly might actually be favored. Yes, this all sounds dumb, but as of 10 days ago, this is what was happening. Fast forward to Smackdown and Phoenix squashes Kelly in 1:52. Eve now gets the title shot. Right.
What about the World Title situation? Shaemus, Christian, Cody, amongst others have been busting their asses and picking up big wins night in and night out for months and yet who gets the title shot? Big Show on his first night back from a several month long injury? Do the writers even consider the fact that wrestlers should have to earn their title shots? It's just nonsense that in some circumstances guys have to win huge matchups and go on lengthy winning streaks to gain a title shot, and in other times they just have to break their leg and cry when they come back.
But I keep watching......
Rising:
Same old people from the last several weeks. Mason Ryan and Ryder will each win some sort of belt or another within the next 6 months I think
Heel Sin Cara looks like he's at least getting a fleshed out storyline
Falling:
Morrison: I didnt catch the rumors, but apparently he might be on his way out.
