-- Due to numerous complaints, WWE has decided to slow down the pace of the storylines. The Michaels/Jericho program is a good example of this. Also, Randy Orton was originally tapped to be the leader of the DiBiase, Rhodes & Manu group within two or three weeks of the tease, but the angle is being slowed down with the idea it'll be more effective that way.

They want to slow it down but everyone knows that it will happen soon.

They better not slow it down too much.
Take a tip from TNA...when you stretch these things out too long, people stop caring. Hell, WWE even did it themselves around this time last year with Jericho's return.

Hell, WWE even did it themselves around this time last year with Jericho's return. I think the problem with that is they tried to build it up as a surprise when everyone and Hellen Keller's ghost knew it was Jericho, so the payoff wasn't as successful because there was no constantly build. At least this way, they can continue it, and take twists and turns here or there. |

But you don't want to jump the gun either which TNA does too often as well.

That is what I was wondering. Why Deuce hasn't joined them yet.

but by holding off there's always a chance the writers will get tired of it and ditch it. remember the prototype of the un-americans with lance storm and christian constantly helping jericho that ended up going nowhere?

WWE rushes EVERYTHING they do.
Case-in-point: Cena vs Batista.
There was no reason that the match should have happened with less than 2 weeks of build-up, and not at Wrestlemania. They do need to revert back the 80's & early 90's way of building for a couple of months before having a big match--at least with newer talent-- instead of just throwing them into the main events.

This is one of the best things they've done in a long time. By letting it build, it gives it more credibility. I loved the days when guys would fued for 6 months to a year in the 80s or so. It was a REAL STORYLINE. It gives wrestlers more time to develop a personality. Look at Y2J/HBK, that storyline is gushing with emotion because it wasnt rushed

It'll happen at Wrestlemania 25, when they all come down and help him to beat Batista for the Title.

I'm loving the fact that WWE is taking more time rather than rushing things

WWE always shows to us what going to happened, they can't hide those thing for future, such as This Week, Orton RKO on Punk, and have an backstage segment, and now we all knew Orton going to leader with those new guys in next few weeks or months a time.

Deuce Shade would be a great addition to the team. That is, if they don't make him act like Snuka. |
