It’s great to see Dolph Ziggler resurfacing after a few months off, courtesy of a rather brutal attack on Kofi Kingston. Dolph claims it should have been him winning the WWE Championship. I stand corrected – because now there are two matches that garner interest based on history at Super Showdown.
Andrade also had a beautiful match with Ali. It’s very hard not to appreciate these two after one sees, for about two minutes, what these future champions are capable of in the ring. The roster is full of guys like Ricochet, and WWE is extremely fortunate to have right now what is probably its most talented roster ever. From this perspective, it’s a shame that the creative team is struggling this much to create good stories and make good on the fact that there is this much talent. They did not struggle like this in the Attitude Era with less talent
Vince McMahon has been featuring the women in the less prominent roles the last few weeks, surely in an attempt to increase viewership and attention on the product. What he doesn’t realize is that the women are not the problem, it’s the creative team’s lack of good storytelling. Perhaps some new people need to be hired to bring in some fresh ideas.
My God Daniel Bryan cut a great promo, and he showed why at Money in the Bank, hinting that there are major changes coming to the tag team division and that’s Vince McMahon would like for tag teams to be taken seriously as opposed to being more of a fun novelty act. Maybe this change will increase TV viewership with Daniel Bryan and Rowan spearheading this proverbial injection of legitimacy back into the tag team division.
