When is the last time those dumbasses did a good slow-burn feud? I didn't watch much over the last 5-6 years so I could be missing something but the last one that I remember was Austin/Michaels way back in 1998. That buildup to Stone Cold winning the title went at least 6 months if I remember right.
ROH has a tiny roster yet they seem to a do a couple feuds like that every year. The Steen/Generico feud went almost exactly one year before the blow-off. |

Occasionally, you'll get a feud like Punk-Orton earlier this year that references things that happened a long time ago (Orton taking out Punk when he was the WHC like 2 years ago), but yeah, they're not very good at the "building suspense" thing. Seems fairly obvious that they're being run by businessmen rather than wrestling people. They want to get what they can out of Punk while they can, because they're not sure how long it'll last. Of course, that's pretty much a Catch 22 because rushing Punk's storylines makes it that much more likely that he won't stick in the spotlight. I'm really hoping that they either make this a string of matches or have some sort of a long-term plan for the story, because I won't be buying Night of F'ing Champions to watch one match (that I don't think Punk'll end up looking good in), and I'm sure I'm not alone. |

I missed the first 10 minutes of Raw because I went outside to smoke the most horribly-rolled blunt I've ever smoked, and coming back in to five minutes of Trips and Nash talking has made me feel pretttty okay with that.
... oh goodness I hope Nash doesn't make Punk lose to that scrappy voice of the people Triple Haitch

Nash must be ****ed up if they are completely writing him out. Now Punk can get buried by someone at least a little more......current

Swagger's ankle lock makes Kurt Angle blush.
