    Does anyone think the Mark Henry retirement is part of a storyline for the Wyatt family? Heard some people discussing that today.

      But even with a win like that, it's still bad.
      This has been the WWE formula for a long time. Superhero babyfaces killing the heels, against all odds.

      I can't stand it, at least in the large doses that they present it. It used to be a lot worse.

        Hasn't that been their main event style since the '60s?

        On and off, of course but more prevalent than anything else.

              The WWE wouldn't lose much if they cut Randy Orton dude doesn't draw a fucking dime.

                Is WWE really selling Danielson beards as merch?

                  They keep him around for the female fans, and to keep him away from TNA.

                    Does the WWE make anything off the WWE app?

                    Like they would know what to do with him, knowing Impact they would job Orton to Sting within a month.

                      I mean, yeah, ultimately that should always be the story arch, but i'm talking more about how guys like Cena , Triple H, DX, etc (and Sheamus this week) end up in these wacky handicapped matches and beat multiple heels at the same time with minimal effort.

                      I remember when Triple H would seemingly destroy Cade & Murdoch every week, by himself. And they were the tag champs at the time. To me, that is counter productive. Rhodes & Sandow both have varying levels of potential, and shit like this is so counterproductive in my opinion. Especially when its the champs, because then you bury the titles, and you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

                      Andre wasn't squashing The Wild Samoans back in '83 or whatever, he would squash people like Tiger Chung Lee & Pete Dougherty.

                        They would still get a former multi-time WWE champion in his prime that they can market. Even a blind monkey could do that.

                          Impact is a blind monkey that keeps jamming a fork up its ass though.

                          Decent RAW so far.

                              So how many injury storylines are going on right now?
