Was that the worst PPV of the year then?

From what I hear contender for one of the worst in last few years

I had the misfortune of walking into our living room when the Santino Marella match was on from Fridays Smackdown. I could be seriously done with it after that.

Rumours abound that Cesaro is in for a face turn soon, they're letting him use the Giant Swing to see the crowd reaction, and he's got massive cheers for it every time he's used it. Let him do the UFO as well (Youtube it) and he'll get over.

Wade Barrett may be getting repackaged as 'Bad News Barrett' from the JBL & Cole Show, which is better than Bland No Push Barrett.

And the standard gets worse at Battleground. Incredible booking. Trips / Steph not even bothered enough to show up.

Only saving grace last night was the Rhodes match, the only one the crowd was into.

Poor Big Show. Started as a giant monster wrecking ball and now he's a blubbering idiot.

There was your Big Show payoff.

So DB is out of the title scene after being white hot and up against the corporation (That is all it is) and losing and ending up looking a bitch so it can be left on not so nasty Randy Orton (Not punting folks anymore or attacking them at home Randy?) way to go WWE honestly way to go
Cena has been the ultimate super man and come back stupidly early from arm surgery to destroy the standing of ADR, I mean are they that desperate to give him gold that they have to give him the 'other one' due to the WWE belt being busy?
Then the following night he plays the ultimate superman and beats Sandow whilst supposed to only have 1 arm thus taking his MiTB case off him and making him look a bitch. Way to go WWE honestly way to go

In 1 week they have managed to damage the momentum of Bryan, ADR and Sandow all who which could well be the stars when Cena buggers off.

Cena IS bad for business, I know he makes them cash but how much more talent is going to be undermined to keep this very limited wrestler at the top.

It's an entertainment show! Just like a soap opera, they pick and choose the story lines in order to provoke such a reaction from the people that watch it. Would you be getting so bent out of shape at Corrie or Eastenders if they killed off your fave? Didn't think so, so why do you bother so much with WWE!

Bent out of shape? It would seem you have missed my point totally as I'm not bent out of anything.

Your comparison with with soap operas doesn't work at all anyway. Last time I checked Corrie or Eastenders don't relay on a connection between the LIVE audience and the performers (Wrestlers).
Therefore forward planning need to be implemented so that connection still exists after Cena buggers off and ATM some of the guys looking capable of this are being buried to keep a limited performer where he is.
