Besides Cena, no one wrestler puts butts in the seats. WWE sells tickets on the back of their overall product.
WWE wants to have Daniel Bryan and CM Punk do a best of 3? Keep it between the 2 of them. It wouldn't kill them to let Daniel Bryan get a win.
It wouldn't kill them to have Kane take the pin either. They get another match out of it, and their top(ish) babyface doesn't get pinned.
Plus, it breaks up the series a bit. Punk-Bryan have already wrestled two 1-on-1 matches in the the past month (and like 5 in the past 4 months). Throw Kane in to keep the series fresh.
Ziggler is one of the best wrestlers in the ring, gets a ton of heat and then gets put in a program where he gets jobbed to some fat dancing Funkasaurus in one of the dumbest gimmicks I have seen in years. It's not even the fact he was turned into a jobber in that program, it's the fact that he loses in 2 minutes time.
I agree with this. But Ziggler will get his shot. We'll see how he runs with it when he does.
Look at the Miz. Over as hell, one of the best on the mic from 2009-2011 killing it with the fans. Would it have killed the WWE to let him go over clean against Hulk Cena at WM 27 to establish the Miz as a bona fide Main Event Heel? Hell no.
Difference of opinion there.
Shawn Michaels wrestled in a whole different era of the WWE. It's a process argument is absolute BS. WWE had 1 ppv every 4 months and didn't have a weekly show. WWE also had an upper card that had Hogan, Flair , Savage, Warrior and only one belt.
Absolutely, but just because you have spots to put young guys in, it doesn't mean they're ready to work main event programs. Punk and Bryan had 10+ years experience before they got to have this program, and that's why it's succeeding. You can't just throw guys out there and hope they can handle it. Well, I wouldn't anyway.
There is a reason why it took him 6 years. Coke, Booze, Women, other Drugs, Partying and not willing to Job for others.
It took Bret 8 years. Which of those apply to him?
