Re: WWE Booking Cena To Work SD Tapings Again
It's time to go back to a 1999/2000 style roster. Where the top draws work both shows.
They have too many wrestlers. I have no answers, there is no magical formula to fixing things. I'm not advocating firing these young and talented wrestlers. There's just too many of them though, and it causes this type of problem in my opinion.
I don't know what to do. Vince actually boxed himself into a corner putting his competition out of business, quite frankly. Now he's stuck with a 100 person roster or whatever it is.
So Cena is doing both Raw and Smackdown shows that guy is heading for another injury and its all gonna be thanks to Vince. You only have yourself to blame for this Vince
Also Smackdown shows having poor attendance no shock there the whole brand is shit they so need to ditch the two brands and have just one show with all wrestlers competing on that show
Honestly who didn't see this coming. The company is in such a shit pot after this loss in the election, a loss in direction, (of the show that is) and also has to do with the fact that nobody is on cena's level so it only makes sense to do this. Expect more of the same in the near future.

So they give up on Sheamus?, well at least give him a new gimmick or whatever theres no point on book him as another Cena if the real deal is gonna be here too.
This has nothing to do with who is the WWE Champion or World Heavyweight Champion. It's pretty simple to figure out why nobody watches.
1. You don't have to watch Smackdown to follow storylines anymore, as it's been this way for awhile. And if anything important would happen on Smackdown, you'd see it recapped the following Monday anyway.
2. Why would anyone waste their Friday Evening in front of their television when you can read what happened at the tapings on Tuesday evenings?
So rather than solve the problem at it's core (treat SD like an A show, put consistently good talent on there, give it decent storylines, etc.) they do what they always do and just throw the quick bandage on the problem (a bandage known as Cena). Ratings down? Put in Cena. Attendance down? Put in Cena. PPV buys down? Put in Cena.
I thought about attending the show (as I do live in GR), but I just told myself there was no good reason to (my biggest reason was Barrett, but I'm really in no mood to see him probably get his ass handed to him by Sheamus). Cena is doing nothing to convince me to go.

I've had this mindset for years. There is no insensitive to watch it.
They need make SmackDown interesting and relevant again, or just get rid of it. It gives WWE the opportunity to use that money towards other things I.E improving RAW, hiring new talent etc. And it also frees up a day of rest for the superstars.
