So last weekend, I wrote about how much I love the Royal Rumble. Now, image my disappointment when the newly returned Batista wins and Daniel Bryan doesn’t even get into the match.
Then on Monday, we find out that CM Punk walked away from the remainder of his WWE contract (or did we based on this post).
To me, both situations tell me that when we are told it’s the fans that matter – well forgive me if I call BS.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the WWE is running a business, and I recently wrote thanking them for making the upcoming WWE Network affordable.
Maybe it’s the creative team that I should be calling out. It just seems like over and over that creatively they seem to fly the bird and give a big F. U. to the fans on so many occasions.
I can’t remember in the over 40 years I’ve been watching professional wrestling, ever hearing and reading more people upset than there was when Daniel Bryan wasn’t one of the 30 Rumble participants.
However, if the Punk situation isn’t a work, and he really is upset about the part-timers getting most of the attention for Mania, then the creative team has flipped us fans the ultimate bird. No Daniel Bryan or CM Punk being in a headline match at what Trevor refers to as the wrestling Super Bowl.
Seriously folks, who has received bigger pops in the last few months than either Bryan or Punk? And we get Orton vs. Batista to headline Wrestlemania 30????? I just don’t get it.
Should the fans always get what we want? No, that’s part of the way the wrestling business works.
However, continously giving the fans the big F . U. doesn’t seem to be what’s best for business, especially with the WWE Network about to debut.
