The Many Problems Of WWE

Published

November 5, 2018

WWE is right now in a solid economical position with great TV deals from Fox and NBC, to the controversial deal they have with Saudi Arabia. Despite all this economic growth, WWE has a lot of problems and issues they like to pretend don’t exist. Since they have decided to ignore these problems, the rise of NJPW/ROH has been possible and more eyes are turning to this interesting product that is the opposing WWE.

WWE’s creative is one of the biggest problems they are currently facing in all major brands (RAW and SmackDown) Vince McMahon has his input on. WWE currently has their best roster ever but creatively things are not doing that well. RAW is in a streak of mediocre episodes with the best episodes being average at best. SmackDown has been the superior show, no questions asked, but the viewership doesn’t reflect this reality, which is a shame because SmackDown is doing some good stuff in the creative department for the most part of 2018.

Women’s Division

Evolution

A big thing WWE likes to do is to ignore the audience they work for despite Stephanie McMahon saying the do. Let’s take the current WWE SmackDown women’s champion Becky Lynch, the fans will not boo her because they feel (and it’s true) she was being overlooked by WWE creative and in the eyes of the fans she the biggest babyface in the company, but WWE thinks otherwise. During the promo package before the classic Becky and Charlotte had in Evolution, WWE changed the cheers Becky had in a segment to boos. This is just and example of WWE refusing to listen to the fans for once. This particular case I like to call it the reverse Roman Reigns.

Lack Of Importance For Championships

Like I mention in a previous article, all the titles in WWE (excluding NXT) are not being booked right for the most part and the biggest example of this case is the Universal Title. That, in my opinion, is cursed to be the worst world title in WWE history and that includes the WWE’s version of the ECW championship. Brock Lesnar holding that title again doesn’t help anyone except Brock’s wallet.

Bloated Roster

Another problem that I have addressed in the past is WWE’s roster being too big (which is a good problem to have specially since they have a talented roster) and wrestlers like Tyler Breeze, Chad Gable and other talented wrestlers get lost in the shuffle and they get barely have any TV and can’t show their talent on the ring.

As we can see WWE has a lot of problems on their plate they like to ignore and we haven’t even looked into the problems both now and in the future that WWE will have because of the 10 year deal with Saudi Arabia will cause to them and we are seeing some of the effects of being with them in this partnership by looking at the drop in the price of the WWE stock it currently has because of the recent events that happened last October.

WWE WrestleMania 34 Charlotte Flair Asuka

Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!

We look back at Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 34. ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ put her unprecedented and historic undefeated streak of 914 days on the line against ‘The Queen’s’ SmackDown Women’s Championship.

For years, this was considered a dream match while Asuka dominated the roster in NXT, while Flair won numerous championships on the main roster on both Raw and SmackDown. The Empress made her long-awaited debut on the September 11th episode of Raw and began to tear through the competition.

Asuka outlasted all twenty-nine other women in the historic first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge for the title of her choosing. At Fastlane, she made her choice.

The WWE Universe was so excited for this match myself included. Both superstars delivered a fantastic performance on the Grandest Stage of Them All executing counter after counter. Asuka showed off some nasty-looking kicks to her opponent, and Flair hit a thunderous Spanish Fly off the top rope. Flair was seconds away from defeat at the hands of The Empress but she locked in Figure Eight and Asuka was forced to tap out.

I can’t even begin to explain how shocked I was at this outcome, as nearly everyone expected The Empress to continue her undefeated streak and walk away with the women’s title. This controversial decision was the downfall of Asuka’s momentum. She would ultimately win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the 2018 TLC pay-per-view in the triple-threat ladder match.

Fast forward to this year when Asuka has recently returned with her Japanese-inspired persona Kana. Kana is dangerous and ruthless and is heading into a championship with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. The Empress has regained all her momentum and is highly favored to walk away with the Raw Women’s Championship. Let’s hope that Asuka and Belair can tear the house down and deliver an A+ grade match both women are fully capable of.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.

Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.

Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.

I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.
