This Week… How The Shield was Wronged

Did everyone watch? What in the world is happening on Monday Night Raw? The greatest faction in the WWE is back and someone decides to call the police and have them carted away.

They’re Back….

Finally all of The Shield is back together and it’s just like old times…. except what is the angle that is being worked… Why have all of the other Superstars turn on them? Shouldn’t those same guys be turning on Ziggler, McIntyre and Strowman since they think they are going to teach everyone what a true working wrestler looks like? Shouldn’t the WWE be playing up The Shield as the hero’s in the this storyline? Making them the unifying factor with the guys backstage to prove who the real work horses of the show are?

It’s time for the Roman Empire

Wouldn’t now be the best time to build The Shield up and let them become the Roman Empire? Maybe add a cruiser weight or two and a few women to the dynamic and let them run havoc all over Raw or the entire WWE. Let Roman carry the belt around for a while and let the Empire take out anyone who decides to get in their way. You could even add a few stars like Finn Balor and Sami Zahn when he returns to give it a variety of superstars that are just good guys. Let them show us all what working every show everyday does to build up a superstar and give them more screen time and better matches. Let the Empire be there to help out the working guys and to unite the good against the bad.

Don’t Turn Them Against Each Other

Let’s not replay the angle of having one of them turning on the other? Even if they aren’t together for ever let them always have each others backs. They are good guys. Put the Universal Title on Roman, the tag belts on Seth and Dean, the Intercontinental Title on Finn and let them form the Empire from there. Eventually you could break them all apart but only because they solve the problems backstage not because they decide to turn on one another. Let this be the beginning of the best story line WWE could offer to us in recent years and while building for the future. These guys all have a tremendous amount to offer and this could be the beginning of more screen time for guys who have worked hard and really deserve it.

WWE please build a great storyline for these guys and give them time to work it start to finish before breaking them up. Fans can really get behind The Shield and each of its members if you work this from the right angle.

 

 

 

 

 

Why We Watch

wwe event

Is it because you started watching when you were a kid? For entertainment value or because you are a hardcore fan?

Why?

We watch wrestling for many different reasons. The WWE has put together a product that is entertaining, has storylines and I know that I’ll get a lot of criticism for this, but the Superstars are easy on the eyes.  It is a multibillion-dollar industry that puts on a great live event, TV product and Pay Per Views. We watch because it’s fun and easy to follow and even if you miss a week you can catch up quite quickly.  We watch because the wrestlers are great in the ring and can put on a spectacular show.

When did you start?

Some are longtime fans who started watching as kids. Some have a favor Superstar that intrigues them so they just started watching recently. Others have followed someone since they began in the indies and have now followed them to the WWE. I watched as a kid, it’s one of the only happy memories I have with my dad. Then when my much younger brother started watching I returned to being a fan as a teenager. Now as an adult I watch because my daughter is a tomboy and started talking wrestling with the boys at school and became a fan. We watch to spend time with our family and friends, to talk smack and yell at the TV when a match doesn’t go the way we want it too. We watch because it’s so entertaining.

 

The Future…  wwe superstars

WWE may be the big dog of wrestling entertainment, but some of the indie promotions are finding a foothold in the industry today. They are becoming more popular, and fans are flocking to see the Superstars who could one day be the best in the business. They put on house shows that are an excellent product for a smaller price and are more available across the country and world. Will WWE ever be overtaken probably not, but will they have to work harder to stay at the top of the game…. YES. The guys who are local yocals today could become those Superstars to push the industry to the next level.
