It would seem you have missed my point totally as I'm not bent out of anything.
Your comparison with with soap operas doesn't work at all anyway. Last time I checked Corrie or Eastenders don't relay on a connection between the LIVE audience and the performers (Wrestlers).
Therefore forward planning need to be implemented so that connection still exists after Cena buggers off and ATM some of the guys looking capable of this are being buried to keep a limited performer where he is.

It's internet wrestling fans mate, all they do is complain about the big bad wwe whatever they do.

| They really messed things up with Bryan, but I suppose a poor buyrate for Summerslam ultimately cost him his chance. I hope it's not the end of him in the main event, hopefully if not in the title picture for now he'll at least let him beat the crap out of HHH.
Cena being back is good. They book him terribly - but he's so much better than the rest of them it's unreal.

| Anyone who thinks it was to do with Summerslams buy rates is a fool. DB was a midcarder a month before Summerslam and a guy who has barely a PPV win to his name!. What did vince expect? Vince has never liked DB and never will, even though its clear to see, he is the most talented guy on the roster by a long way. Want to make Big-E look good? Book him against DB and DB will make him look like a superstar. DB, like the Miz, Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler before him has just met HHH's spade!
The real reason for poor buy rates are Cena and CM Punk, the 2 faces of RAW for the past 3 years when ratings have hit an all time low. People are just bored of them now.
Regards
King James

DB is alone responsible for the SS low buyrate?
So Cena, Punk and Lesnar are faultless then?

| Lesnar's ppv buy rates have been good since his return, hence his extended deal.
I didn't say alone responsible though. I meant he will have been scapegoated for the poor figures.

Cena wasn't injured. It's a work that they've used on this tour to get the crowd going. I fell for it big time last night after the 'X' sign went up from the ref.
Punk is pretty banged up from recent reports. He's been wrestling some big guys recently (Ryback, Lesnar, Wyatt's) and it looks like it's taking it's toll on him physically.

Gee, why would wrestling those guys cause him to be injured? Or right, they're green as grass and sloppy as hell.

Agree re Ryback & to an extent Lesnar, but Luke Harper can wrestle pretty well for a big guy who looks like a wild animal. Take a look on Youtube for Claudio Castagnoli VS Brodie Lee.

| Luke Harper, ok. But Lesnar has always been sloppy as has Ryback as well as the prototype for both of their characters, Goldberg.
They're dangerous in the ring as they turn up and get pushed to the moon before they're actually ready or capable to wrestle at the top level.
