      Make that shit so goddamnit!

      EDIT: We get Del Rio and Punk instead...

      Suppose it could be worse.

      We get Danielson, Barrett, Curt Henning's kid tonight on TV.
      We also get a Christian return, but using him against Barrett? Don't get it.

          "Enhancement Talent."

          I HOPE it's because Christian is becoming a Paul Heyman Guy... probably not though.

          Barrett's getting buried.

              I love that King called Christian a "young man."

              Dude's been in the ring since the late 90s for Vince.

              Add that up in your head and feel OLD.

                Nah, he's going to be a face, get pushed for awhile, and then become buried again like before.

                  I would think that unless you're Cena in the WWE, you gotta be a heel in order to get ANY semblance of a chance for a title.

                  That also includes commiting Heel on Heel Crime like Henning (Axel ) did to Barrett last night.

                    Sheamus is like Randy Orton he rarely loses clean and constantly beats guys with more talent than him.

                      Then explain Sheamus' run with the WHC, that one boggled my mind as a goofy as shit face.

                        The WWE would be better off looking at shows like Breaking Bad and Mad Men and seeing how characters aren't just good and bad guys, people are a lot more dynamic than that. Granted the WWE hires a bunch of writers who couldn't hack it in Hollywood so I guess I'm expecting too much.

                          Sheamus is basically the same guy as he was as a heel except now he's an asshole against heels.

                          Same as Orton.

                            Rhodes and Sandow reduced to jobbing to Sheamus in a handicap match

                            But even with a win like that, it's still bad.

                              That match is why the WWE needs to use UFC style rankings, wins and loses need to mean something.

                                Vince should steal the Bound For Glory formula.

                                Point system for Pins, Submissions, DQs, etc.

                                Highest total after a period of time gets a shot at the title.
