It's Been a Stale Run
I really think the WWE is struggling right now. Injuries have certainly taken their toll with some huge superstars dropping out recently (HBK, Taker, Kennedy) but there are other things to blame. I'm really looking forward to this draft hopefully shaking things up. The storylines lately are completely stale and for the most part uninteresting.
I am sick of seeing MVP vs. Benoit and I am a huge fan of Benoit's in-ring work. I'm hoping the Lashley-McMahon feud is ending sooner rather than later and I don't think anyone is a fan of the Khali-Cena storyline. Honestly, how many times to Batista and Khali have to lose championship matches to get a new combatant in there. There is enough talent still lying around the rosters right now to spark up some interesting angles. Triple H and Mysterio should help when they finally return.
The other big thing that's bothering me lately is the lack of competent mic guys. I don't like Cena's character but he probably has the best mic skills of on the active Raw roster. Edge is still one of my favorites in the WWE today on the mic but it's a far cry from the not so distant past when the roster had Foley, Jericho, Austin, and the Rock to draw from. I thought you could also count on some quality promos from Angle and Christian with entertaining spots from APA and the Dudley Boyz in the tag scene. Today, there's just not much going on the mic. That might have a little to do with how disinteresting some of these angles are since some of these guys don't have the mic skills to have convincing segments.
