Reactionary To The Wrestling News of:
Sheamus speaks out about The Bloodline TV time issue on 07/08/2023 by
AverageMansReview – Spoiler Alarm!
Full Disclosure: this information came to my attention on
Monday 07/08/2023
I have to be honest
it is just nice: that a wrestler such as Sheamus
is pointing this out. I am paraphrasing here; he made reference to his baby
face run, go away and coming back, it is good for everyone involved, but for
everyone else they are chomping at the bit to have that kind of screen time
[and gives an example of having smaller segments, due to The Bloodline segment
running over by 20 minutes.]
The reason why it is just nice having a
wrestler point something out of fact, his prospective is of a wrestler as ours
[mine] is of a fan/basic content creator where essentially we share the same
sentiment of basically it is good for everyone involved, but for everyone else
we are getting a little bit frustrated.
To the point where after what happened
at WWE SummerSlam 2023 with the whole Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus [with Zoe
Starks] card absence thing, then the Slim Jim's Battle Royal thing [ because of
money] and finally the entire main event taking up roughly an hour from opening
graphic until the final scene [ I did give this match/match slot 8/10, but to
be honest yet again, they are going to have to do something special for me to
hand out this Mark or anything higher in the future.] Because the entire Bloodline
after this event has checked me out, I think actually I know I am pretty much
done with this whole situation, because anyone be it content creator, inside a
wrestling or just a casual fan of long-term experience knows, you can't keep
prolonging something big and I didn't see it happening here, but what happened
here was one step too far and they are going to have to go some distance to
properly explain it. The card generally, yes I did give this event 7/10 and
taking everything into consideration it deserved it.
But the actual point I wanted to make
is; the way things were going and I don't mean this disrespectfully, actually I
mean it highly positively I would greatly prefer watching a NXT Premium Live
Event, it isn't because it is much shorter, even though that is a bonus if I
had to dictate a list of positives that would be in the top three for sure.
But you get a sense of everything in
their match slot for the majority of the time has been built up for them when
they come to put on their match/match slot you get let's just say an average of
a good outcome and then they move on to a different feud or storyline with a
similar storyline quality and hopefully match/match slot, which in turn in the
grand scheme of things gives their Premium Live Event a good flow to work from.
I can't believe I'm going to say this
again; but as it relates to the main roster at some point hopefully soon, the
hierarchy will have to deal with the consequences of this Bloodline saga and as
I have said in the other content or at minimum something to this effect; I get
it with Roman Reigns and the surrounding wrestlers/characters they gimmick is
not to build up anyone, which is fine for a little while if that is the
narrative you want to go with. But the long-term consequences of this and this
is where I can't believe I'm going to say this again or likewise something to
that effect and I know I am not the only one saying this. But eventually the
elephant in the room once again, is the fact that they don't have anyone that I
would feel comfortable putting in this position especially after this never
ending story, yes that does include the WWE Intercontinental Champion
Imperium's Walter. You see Walter has done the complete opposite to Reigns, yes
by gimmick and storyline design, but also when someone has had a match/match
slot with Walter and Imperium they look better for having this match/time.
This is where I feel bad for Cody
Rhodes, because at some point maybe at WrestleMania 40/2024 he will dethrone
Reigns and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, where I have made
reference in other content as well Rhodes is one of the best at putting people
over even if he still wins, I just feel sorry for him because the longer this
goes on, the more work he will have to do to be galvanised this entire
situation, not only in a wrestling sense but also with potential fans that have
switched off either mentally or their actual TV at this ongoing saga.
Briefly back onto Walter I am not
stupid, it is an inevitability he will hold a main event championship, knowing
him he will probably hold both at some point in his career, but again I am not
stupid enough to allow one of my present massive assets to get stuck with the
unpleasant task of dealing with the aftermath of this Bloodline saga, Walter
can just carry on rebuilding the prestige of the WWE Intercontinental
Championship back up to where it should have always been.
For those Seth Rollins out there in
Internet land, yes he could do exactly like Rhodes, but in the reason I didn't
put his name until now is because he has his own hands full establishing the
WWE World Heavyweight Championship and let's be honest this feud with The
Judgment Day's Finn Bálor is slowing not helping things, in fact it is slowly
becoming more and more obvious as everyone said in its inception it is just a
secondary championship for everyone else to feed upon whilst Reigns holds the
main prize of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, as always when the WWE get
something good, they either destroyed on the main roster before it can
take off or in this case run it into the ground. Then again let’s leave on a
positive whilst the hierarchy are mostly focusing on Reigns, at least they aren’t
screwing with the WWE Intercontinental Championship Walter other than his name
change to Gunther [which usually I refuse to use this name or reference it at
all.]
