This is a breakdown of the official match times given. First let me say the disrespect Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn gives his female talent, should not be tolerated. Enough females watch this show I'm surprised many of you have not started to protest.
The yellow highlights ofcourse the low time ring talent, the females getting a whopping 7 mins 36 seconds of ring time on a 180 minute show.
Vince McMahon thinks these women are worth no more than 7 mins and 36 seconds.
Natalya and Brie, a good singles match, got a whopping 3 mins 17 secs. IDK how you women put up with that shit. Natalya gets a #1 contender spot off of this? Brie gets better but you won't see it because this is an afterthought based on the time. I wonder what's the real point of those 2-3 mins. snippet match videos the WWE youtube puts out there. You might as well post the whole match they last just about the same time.
I want to add the fighting divas champion is being made to look weak during this, which makes it tough to root for Natalya, but I doubt they see that. It's amazing because I truly think Nikki wants to prove her skeptics wrong, but she's not getting the opportunity even as champion.
Lets go to the rest of the lower matches and effects on a career.
Fandango vs Jack Swagger, Swagger has now went from guy who beat Y2J for the WWE Heavyweight Championship to Rusev's bitch, to now Fandango's jobber and now can't last in the ring with Fandango more than 2 mins 05 secs. I'd ask for my release if I were Jack Swagger. That is fucking ridiculous.
R-Truth and Adam Rose, did anybody care about anything in this match? a waste of :54 secs.
Roman Reigns vs Big Slow, the new piss break is Big Slow. I wanted to tap out watching this match. Big Show needs to retire. 4 mins. 22 secs. of ring time wasted with Roman Reigns. And 2 bad promos to boot. Make him look strong.
The Mexican tag team vs 2 Dustsuckers, this an embarrassment to the Rhodes family and they know it. 3 mins. 34 secs. TAG TEAM MATCH! Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes lose that quickly. Christmas episode we won't remember.
The Miz vs Jey Uso, his rivalry is with Jimmy. I don't get this at all. But Miz goes over in 3 mins 30 secs.
The divas battle royal (excuse me 6 man tag team, late at night last night posting in frustration of the whole show), why was this on the program? and for 4 mins 19 secs. OF SOMETHING YOU ALREADY DID AT TRIBUTE TO THE FUCKING TROOPS! Paige got a good cheer from that middle section though. Why didn't they just do an in ring promo. And what does Alicia getting the pin lead to? Oh wait (didn't I tell you Alicia and Naomi would wrestle for a reason? there it is)
I would have perfered, Paige and the divas in the back giving out gifts, and Paige clocking them all and if the point was to make Alicia look strong, hit her with a box at the end like you always do to the talent. I feel these battle royals and tag matches are lazy booking, making divas look like garbage. Since the match has no damn purpose.
Now the three big matches on the program
Rollins vs Cena Part jobbing the 4,500,667th time. Seth Rollins is an incredible athlete, that is all. 15 mins 54 secs. of Seth Rollins showing you he is with out a shadow of a doubt, the best wrestler in that company.
Luke Harper vs Dolph Ziggler, man these two have chemistry. But I don't want to see these matches wasted. These should be PPVs and it comes to another thing I want to touch on, the WWE when they book Dolph for 4-5 mins. on any other match. Get some real jobbers and stop wasting the future talent. Get people in regular division college ring wear and have those tune up matches. Ideally I want to see Tyson Kidd challenge Dolph in 2015. Because they'd sure put on a show stopping performance.
Ambrose and Wyatt, good brutal holiday fun match. Crowd didn't care at the end. And it's sad because WWE is not letting Bray cut his own promos, you can tell it's scripted, and meanwhile the fans just don't believe these people are serious about pushing these guys for some reason. It starts with a letter "C" figure it out. 21 mins. 25 secs. These guys are going to kill their selves and the crowd doesn't know it.
The booking allowed 69 mins 08 secs of wrestling on a 180 mins. show promotion.
So 1/3 of that show. was wrestling. And IMO 21 mins and 21 seconds led to no real storyline development.
Do Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon even try? How does anyone with stock in this company, see that poor booking, that poor roster development, usage, and that poor commentating. That commentating is trash.
You go through this, hey I'll give credit on 3 things. Ziggler, Reigns and Wyatt were booked well. But then those are your real future main event guys. Meanwhile the divas aren't allowed to do anything.
The NXT call ups Emma, Paige, Adam Rose (Leo Kruger), Tyson Kidd (yes I'll call him an NXT guy too if I feel like it), Seth Rollins. The booking to put them in anything really relevant is lacking.
Why aren't Paige and Alica and Emma having their own rivalries?
Why is Adam Rose still here?
Why isn't Tyson Kidd doing more singles matches?
Where is CeFUCKINGsaro!
Why is Brie Bella all the sudden the girl that gets beat to make someone #1 contender for the divas championship?
Why is Nikki Bella not at the commentating desk or with a mic cutting a promo? This girl has done amazing things in her short run and they haven't allowed it.
STOP BOOKING JOHN CENA AGAINST SETH ROLLINS!!! The bumps the kid keeps taking him is not beneficial to his full career. Can he get just ONE! ONE! clean pin. That's all we ask for!!! You're killing his reputation!
God Vince McMahon is such a garbage man. No grapefruit having tool!
This is why your promotion is not interesting and getting cat calls and troll crowds.
