Hug It Out for 40 minutes

5903 Views 60 Replies 46 Participants Last post by  Kling Klang
I'm all for WWE pushing Bryan and Kane and the tag team division, but they took up a total of 40 minutes of this weeks Smackdown.

That's roughly half of the show (don't count the adverts, DO count the RAW recap).

Personally I think 40 minutes of an 80-90 minute show is way too much.

The IC title.
A longer US title match.
More matches with talent from NXT; not just a run in.

You post one liners and you don't even read the OP properly...

I said I'm all for the push (and Bryan at the moment is definitely my favourite superstar) but they don't need to be on half the show.
Re: Hug it out for 40 minutes

Didn't bother watching Smackdown this week, they could have done a Tag Team match on the main event without the two matches which featured Kane and Daniel Bryan, it was unnecessary and I don't necissarily dislike the Anger Management/Team Friendship bit, but if they keep it up everyones gonna burn out on it.

This is why Bryan marks are the worst.


And yes, hugging should never be allowed in the WWE.

He's right though.
Bryan is probably the second biggest draw in WWE right now behind Cena.
I concur. If they continue to push as constant and often as they are, everyone will get sick of it.....kinda like AJ. At the moment I'm loving it but WWE being WWE they'll push it too far and it'll get annoying.

During everyone's beloved "attitude era" how often was Stone Cold/The Rock on screen? It would of been atleast an hour?

I have no problem with it, at the moment it's hot. Give the fans what they want.

Agreed on the 2nd and 3rd points, but not the 1st. They need to try and minimize the amount of people crossing over. The reason Miz is IC Champ and Cesaro is U.S. Champ was so the belts could switch shows. While RAW is a "SuperShow", SmackDown SHOULDN'T be. At least Bryan and Kane, as tag team champions, have a storyline reason to be on both shows.

Bryan and Kane are capable of possibly bringing renewed interest in SmackDown while they're tag team champions. They can help carry the SmackDown brand for now.

It's just a suggestion.

I still think that's better than 40 minutes of two people.
Re: Hug it out for 40 minutes

They took 40 minutes and it was the best SmackDown in ages . That tells a lot .

Quite frankly, they're the most interesting thing in the WWE... I would center the whole show around them.

Sort of, he's very over with the live crowds and everything he does turns to gold at the minute, but i wouldn't go as far to call him the second biggest draw in the company, I don't think many people will be paying to go to a show for the sole reason of seeing Bryan.

As a big Bryan fan im liking this hug it out thing, i only watch raw so it's not to worn out on me yet, 40 minutes does seem like to much time though.

My only real problem with it is Bryan's in ring time as been cut down because of being in the tag team, he doesn't have enough time in the ring now to do what he does best, just pure wrestling.
Re: Hug it out for 40 minutes

My god...I thought people liked Daniel Bryan for his wrestling, but so long as he's in an entertaining angle they can deal with the product becoming stagnant. Hey, heres an idea, maybe Daniel Bryan can go for a 5 year straight win streak as Tag Team champions, that'll fix the Tag Team division right?

Don't think much about that, just keep watching the shiny keys jingle.

What are you on about?

Except the average mark doesn't care about all three of those things.

Just be glad we're getting something entertaining for once.
Re: Hug it out for 40 minutes

I'm into the tag team and was glad that they got so much TV time. But still I agree. Too much good is bad. So they shouldn't get that much TV time for at least the next couple weeks. Make people want more, not less.
