Disagree with the above dantes. They have some very talented guys who can be wrestlers and entertainers. Look what CM Punk did when he was given leeway. Daniel Bryan made a shit tag team with Kane become the most over thing on their show. Kevin Owens is excellent on the mic, as is Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Wade Barrett and their are others. What's holding them back is the lack of long term writing and the lacking of willingness to take a few risks with their product for fear of upsetting sponsors, or charities or shareholders. Also they give up on guys way too early. Damien Sandow had great potential as a cocky intellectual heel and then they changed him to a stunt double and he was brilliant and then they cast him aside. How is anyone supposed to get over like that?

He can come out and make those exact same complaints. But Punk already did that angle, and it won't be topped. Bryan also did something innovative that won't be topped. It's really difficult to keep having to do that, to keep finding new ways of getting people's attention. Every now and then there will be guys who come up with new ideas and angles. But the bread and butter product is boring the entire rest of the time. Boring doesn't get you over.

I'm not saying he should go down the cm punk route i'm saying his character was getting over and they killed it. They have clipped the wings of several guys. Wyatt has been booked to look weak as fuck, losing loads of feuds, Rollins never won clean as champion, even last night Rowan, Strowman and Harper lose to Kane, Big Show and Ryback. How are they supposed to look threatening losing a match against three guys never anywhere near the top of the card.

Winning and losing isn't important now. If Bryatt et al were booked correctly, the product would be boring. Boring and predictable.

It is because of the atitude era that booking and getting over are now 'things' associated with the product. It is only because they're doing it wrong that you can get interested in a moaning sort of way. Otherwise, Bryatt getting a push will be worth watching why exactly? Maybe Vince knows the product is dead, and is pissing people off as a last resort to keep it relevant and talked about.
