Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 I think there's a lot of reasons to be optimistic about WWE right now, or really pro-wrestling in general. But, to limit the conversation to WWE, you have to admit they are at least trying to make new stars again. We have Misterio as the World Heavyweight Champion, for crying out loud. Even if his reign is short, who would've ever said even last year he'd ever hold the title? We're starting to see the seeds laid for some potentially interesting storylines, most notably the ECW stuff and maybe DX coming back. Unfortunately, you'll note both of those storylines are on RAW. What does Smackdown have going for it? The Undertaker waiting to come back for the umpteenth time to get revenge on a monster heel? The main problem is, for every step forward this promotion takes, they seemingly take two steps back. I was very excited when Edge won the WWE Championship...I'm not even a huge Edge fan, but it was nice to see someone new holding a world title. But then, they jobbed him out after a couple weeks, and now he seems to be lost again in an upper midcard existence. I guess I just wish they'd decide who exactly they want to push, how they want to do it, and then just stick with that direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
