After a dying of momentum for Orton after Fastlane with a weird but ultimately logical story line we have finally gotten our setup for the Orton vs Rollins match, and being completely honest with you it looks like one of the better built up ones. Yeah there is no real bad build up yet (unless you think the main event is being poorly handled) but nothing seems amazingly exciting. It feels like WWE every week cycle through which story they are going to push that week with the IC Title match continuously being pushed (probably because they work every week) and Wyatt carrying a whole story on his own back. I said in my last post that feels like WrestleMania but almost like a disappointing one, and I still stand by that, it is hard to muster up any kind of enthusiastic excitement when you know the last match of ‘Mania will be one we all didn’t want to see.
Maybe it is just me but WWE has a lot of matches and story building but none of it really jumps out at this part of the fan base. There is a lot of talk and maybe it’s our own fault for not sitting down, relaxing and just enjoying the product for what it is, or maybe it is the fact that most of these matches were not what we had in mind. Wyatt vs Taker should’ve been an exciting match, but we have no Taker. Triple H vs Sting was supposed to be great but they only appear every other week and a video package otherwise. Orton vs Rollins could be amazing but the slow story killed it as soon as Orton came back. A lot of problems surround every story making each feud a bit boring. This week it did pick up with Orton and we did have another good IC segment, Tag Team matches and Cena was one of the main highlights for Raw!
Cena came out this week after realising he might not be in Mania, said that wasn’t the point and then made Rusev pass out TWICE fuelled by not wanting to miss ‘Mania alone. He also looked completely sinister and combine that with the past couple of weeks of dirty tactics, he looked like a heel.. and it was awesome. Not gonna lie to you, a smile crossed my face when Cena smirked after he got his match, that was cool, interesting and completely different. Exactly what we’ve wanted out of Cena for a while. I don’t know if they will ever turn him full Heel but if they do the right time will be soon. But I really shouldn’t keep my hopes up for this situation.
With that in mind has anyone else seen that WWE may be doing a little tweener thing, Ambrose is leading this movement and I don’t think his character would work any other way as a face character, we have the Orton from this week and he’s been a tweener a lot so he’s perfected it by this point, and lastly Cena. The idea that you have a face who does heelish stuff but still gets cheered for it, is an endearing factor to have in a gimmick, it seems very reminiscent of Austin during the attitude era. So tell me what you think about the lead to Mania so far, same boat as me or not? What’s your favourite build up? And Do you think WWE are trying to get edgier with more attitude era-esque ideas?
