I personally believe with the current storylines there is both flavors of they are playing it by ear as well as going deeper down the rabbit hole of literary depth than any of us are used to.
That's my response to everything that's going on as of late.
Kane's efforts to turn Cena heel most likely will lead to him being more a shade of gray than anything else since they don't believe enough of the fans would still praise him as heel due to his past & of course being their power player in terms of merchandising.
Why they think that is beyond me.
Jericho's on-goings & histrionics are highly methodical & deep rooted if not purely deranged which would in fact be an interesting turn from his rather obvious heel or face facades over most of his career.
Sheamus winning the rumble is a throw back to the days of when the toughest man won in KAFABE terms where he will have his day because Vince Sr.'s Irish eyes will be smiling upon him at mania.
Also if the American dragon stays champion then it's a hilarious plant for the use of that famous irish hymn "Londonderry Air aka danny boy"
As far as the Undertaker's return I loved it & look forward to seeing him finish his streak against who in my mind has been his best opponent ever. keep it in mind he's never has he faced anyone thrice.
No one else alive in terms of the story has a character who is better suited to face him. the Cerebral Assassin is the only man with the pure grit, intensity, experience, ring savvy, power game, speed & pure excellence to give The embodiment of majesty that is our Phenom a proper send off & give him an actual challenge in ending the streak.
Those are my observations at their most direct & to the point.
Discuss & question me if you like as I love hearing the opinions of my fellow writers, readers & spectators of the passional play known as Professional Wrestling.

I have no idea what this is about. The title sounds angry, but then you start praising their stuff? I'm really confused.

I'm sorry, but there is absolutely nothing.....and I do mean nothing....that WWE could do to make me interested in seeing Undertaker/HHH 3.

I like how this goes from Negative to Positive.
I agree at some points... ones I can understand.

Okay first of all, the title is meant to grab attention because that's how everyone else on the forum & the IWC sounds about WWE creative's material at the moment.
I watch wrestling as a story of a sport that is larger than life as it should be. A theatrical portrayal. Thus my opinions are well thought out & address how the on-goings fit into the history of the profession as opposed to being the "flavor of the month"
I have plenty of things I don't like about the current product. But I can't exactly be mad when Kane(my very first favorite performer) just laid the biggest disgrace to the business last week & continues to do so.
The main reason I have done my best to give the "benefit of the doubt" to the current happenings is for the same reason you don't say a book or film is bad until you've seen the entire thing. You can't judge a5 layer cake on just the icing.
I feel that the creative team is playing by ear to the public's interest & reaction along with trying to maintain a very well thought out idea which of course is contrary to each other. Thus the obvious struggle week to week between matches & segments.
Now... anything else you'd like me to explain? I'm happy to hear other opinions since wrestling is more about "interpretation" as oppose to getting their original idea.

I don't disagree that they are playing it by ear a great deal with the fans, but it really don't feel that different than a few years ago.
Honestly, who here expected Sheamus to beat Cena for the title?

I feel like they have no direction.. and give up on ideas too quickly. Their storytelling is off at the moment.... same reason I don't watch TNA. I am starting to lose interest lately, unfortunately.
Daniel Bryan's current storyline is the only one that really intrigues me right now.

CM Punk is my biggest problem with the WWE right now. I'm looking forward to Cena vs. Rock and I like Kane's recent push. Undertaker and Triple H are being wasted at Wrestlemania in my eyes. I like Undertaker but I don't get why they would waste him in a match with Triple H.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled with these storylines. I think that's a good thing that they have our interest now (or at least mine lol)

For those of you who are against the rubber match think about what I just called it.
Third time's the charm & only three men have had the opportunity to make a third match possible so I personally think it would interesting. Also I can't imagine any one else who would do justice to the majesty of this match. Do any of you really believe the Undertaker is REALLY going to return after this one?

Agree with the part about Triple H being the best option for Taker.
And for those who are upset we may get a third match I'll say it again.... Flair chose HBK, HBK chose Taker, & for all we know Taker has chosen Triple H to be his final opponent. And I for one can't wait.

Update: I am very implored by Orton's current rivalry with Kane & how his "Apex Predator" persona makes him the modern Jake Roberts.
It's actually quite funny considering his first persona was all about his 3rd generation status in evolution, then he becomes the legend killer, then he partners with the son of Dusty Rhodes who mimics Orton's father in getting over with his first major gimmick using a supportive aid (mask/cast) then becomes the modern embodiment of a man whom he laid out in a prior gimmick. This man's whole career is a wrestling scategories!!
Of course I have to approve of the unapologetically welsh big man.
On a more sullen note, I personally think having EC before Mania is ludicrous & far too dangerous leading into the biggest financial draw of the year from the company.
Personally I think Cena should stay off the card entirely due to the fact that he is indescribably invaluable beyond comprehension to the success of not only Wrestlemania this year but the year for the company as a whole.
Short story long: I hope they end this trend of EC happening between the RR & WM. It should be pushed back closer around the time of Survivor Series since it's a great PPV to have to look forward to all year long. I just might make this my official analysis thread.

The days of long term storytelling in the ring are over.
This is the Sports Entertainment Era, where screen time goes to the marketable characters, not the most skilled.
Granted, I am happy with Punk & Bryan..for the moment, but feel it is only a matter of time before they are treated like so many other stars.
An angle is being built around Cena to allow the WWE to openly address the booing and stagnant character he portrays, as he heads into the biggest WM match of all time.
Sheamus is a deserving talent..but he is being bred to be another formula workhorse like Orton. Again, the merch machine at work.
The real future IMHO as an old school fan lies with the most well rounded guys like Cody, Dolph, Bryan and Punk (for a few years). I hope Punk's body can take the punishment it will endure a main event player.
Today, it's not just about asses in seats..but rather what demographic fills them. It's not just about tickets, but is more about the t-shirts, figures and licensing.
This change in landscape has changed the sport for both better and worse.
