A john morrison push
He wasnt even on the card at Summerslam and he's been bypassed entirely for the main event of the next one.
He's had 2 victories over CM Punk, had what was possibly tv match of the year with Jeff Hardy, who made him look like gold. And he saved Jeff Hardy's ass 2 weeks ago.
He is getting pushed.
Although, now people will be complaining about how he's getting pushed too fast or how he's not ready.
An mvp push (to an extent)
Since when does being teamed with Marc Henry equate to a push?
Well, Mark Henry has become one of the hottest midcarders on Raw. He's currently in a feud with Chris freakin Jericho rather than his going-nowhere feud with Swagger. And he's the number one contender for the tag titles, which have only recently become desirable again.
Just because he doesn't have a world title shot doesn't mean he's not getting pushed, big guy.
Of course, people are now complaining how he's shit as a face and shit in the ring.
A decent program for the big show
It's ok but it's not like they've got a lot of competition.
He's helping bring meaning back into the tag titles. And the WWE are making competition. The problems can't be fixed in a week, but WWE are working on them, have some damn patience.
A long title reign for orton
Fair enough but I wouldn't say it's been a great reign or that it would have lasted had Batista not been injured.
It's been a pretty good reign. He's gone over Triple H and Cena. And how do you know that Orton wouldn't have won the title back from Batista? Oh right, you don't.
HHH to stop chasing the title
Yay, he's been out of the title picture for a month.
Well guess what!! It's Cena vs Orton in an I quit match at Breaking Point. So he's not chasing the title for another month. Must be like Christmas for you.
But really, how can you complain that something hasn't being going on long enough when it's just started? I knew wrestling fans' attention span has gotten shorted, but this is just ridiculous...
Credibility to cm punk
Agreed but if Hardy wasn't leaving and Edge wasn't injured, do you think he'd have the belt at all?
Oh right, cause Edge was in the middle of a big world title push when he got injured... Oh wait, no he wasn't.
And it makes sense that Punk would've ended up with the title eventually. Undertaker was going to return, and he was always going to be in the title picture. Unless Hardy or Undertaker turned heel, a Punk vs Undertaker rivalry for the title was gonna end up happening.
More focus on mid card titles and prestige brought back
It's a stretch to say they've been given prestige back but at least 1 of the belts was defended at Summerslam.
It's hardly a stretch. Both Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston are the most credible mid card title holders in literally years. Kofi Kingston even successfully defended his title in a six pack challenge. I don't think that's ever been done before.
Tag team to be more prominent (its getting there)
Nowhere near
What do you think would make the title more prestigious?
Cause I'm thinking having 2 big stars hold the titles and fighting a multitude of challengers would do that.
Less interbrand-ness
Yep, I never liked the brandedness in the first place though
Why did you put though in that sentence? So you don't seem like you're agreeing too much? The WWE is doing something you want, get over it.
Credibility to legacy
Yep, strange isn't it. HHH kicks their arse all year, Michaels comes back and suddenly they're not useless.
A think a pinfall victory over Triple H and being able to match DX move for move for a good 15 minutes has given them pretty good credibility. Yeah, Michaels has come back and made them look good. That crazy HBK, wanting to help young stars!
Older guys putting over young guys to build future
When has this happened?
Well this year we've had....
Triple H getting pinned by Cody Rhodes, DX letting Legacy dominate for a large portion of the match to the point some people were actually thinking Legacy could pull off the upset, Punk going over Hardy and Edge clean, Kofi being put over by every more experienced wrestler in the Raw midcard, Swagger going over Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio making Dolph Ziggler look awesome, Yoshi going over Regal, the push Morrison is getting... Should I keep going?
Most of the changes the WWE have made have been forced on them. Vince would rather hand the WWE in it's entirety over to Paul Heyman before he'd listen to the IWC.
Yeah, he would.
As egotistical as Vince may be, he does see some of the problems the WWE is having. And the amount of progress the WWE has made in the last 8 months has been astounding. Young guys being pushed, better matches all round, the ECW talent initiative. WWE has had some of it's best ever PPV's this year, they're just overshadowed by how bad Wrestlemania was.
WWE have fixed many of the problems that made me stop watching back in 2004. And they're working on fixing more problems.
But the IWC will never ever be happy. And if they are happy, they'll never admit it. They'll make excuses about why the problems are being fixed, saying it's coincidence. Just like my friend Loveless has shown.
