Does anyone else feel this way? Ever since Royal Rumble i've found it hard to get into the World Heavyweight Championships scene. The reason being is partly due to WWE hyping the fueds/storylines. They just aren't putting enough energy into bulding up the WHC title scene. Daniel Bryan and Sheamus's fued/story going into Wrestlmania sucked. As fans, WWE are supposed to try and sell the fued/story in order to get us interested so that we buy the ppvs, that's part of the process. But not once did the booking of Bryan/Sheamus make me feel compelled to watch Wrestlmania even if I did watch it anyway. But that was for other reasons. It's not just that either, but I just can't get into any of the stories surrounding Sheamus and the WHC title either, because it's just dull booking as far as I'm concerned. You would think they'd put a lot more priority into a World title tbh. Then you also have this Big Show/John Cena story. What the hell is going on? This week on Raw we had Cena and Micheal Cole with Lord Tensai involved, I mean shouldn't it have been Big Show interfering instead of Tensai. This Cena/Show build up also sucks. Finally you have the WWE title. After CM Punk won the title back, you had his little thing with Alberto Del Rio, and Miz being put into the title match just like that. Then afterwards they have him fued with Dolph Ziggler. Now I know the IWC seems to like Dolph but his fued with Punk sucked as well, the build up was boring and dull and in actual fact they gave more focus to Punk/Johnny Ace then they did Dolph. Nonetheless I wouldn't have felt compelled to get Royal Rumble for Punk/Ziggler, if it wasn't for the fact that it's the beginning of the road to Wrestlmania and the Royal Rumble I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Then you also have Jericho's return and his fued with Punk. Now personally I felt they did it wrong. They had Jericho make his return and not talk until after Rumble which was a bit of a let down. People say he was trolling us but really, him not talking killed a bit of his momentum I felt. Then the run up to Wrestlmania where they had Jericho win a battle royal and get a shot at Punk was silly. They should have just had Jericho/Punk begin their fued straight after Elimination Chamber, they didn't need a silly Battle Royal, and the fued was quite boring as well. They had a one good promo but it seemed to drag on a bit with both Punk and Jericho saying the same thing, as did Undertaker/HHH/HBK which is another build up that was disappointing as well.
My point being is this. I've always felt build up was an essential factor in wrestling. If there is not enough build up in a fued, then I wouldn't be interested. Some could say just watch the match, but again part of the magic of wrestling is build up, the storylines and fueds make for entertainment and give a reason to watch a match. But I just feel like WWE has gotten bad. Which is a suprise because i've always felt WWE were great promoters. Some could argue that Rock/Cena and Cena/Lesnar was a good build up. But it was Rock and Cena who were building up the fued all year round. WWE didn't do as much until the Road to Wrestlmania, and Lesnar/Cena is the only notable thing that WWE actually built up good. But things aren't great there either, becuase Lesnar has disappeared killing a bit of his momentum in the process and Cena after seemingly being taking out by Lesnar has returned to WWE and has since been working ever since, making Lesnar look even worse because Lesnar was supposed to have come out looking strong at Extreme Rule by looking like he destoryed Cena but Cena coming on next Raw and smiling again, and returning to the ring two weeks later was shit.
But hey what else can I say, I suppose you can just add this to the long list of things that WWE is sucking at right now.
