I think WWE can get away with making mistakes on the top end of the card, because they have that much diversity and talent that the cracks can be papered over.
I think the real heartbreaker for me as a fan is when the midcard gets bad treatment or stupidly booked. I invest a lot of time in the midcard as it always peaked my interest as a young fan. I'd watch them wrestle on Heat and Smackdown and genuinely go crazy whenever they were included in a bigger or thicker storyline than usual.
This used to happen quite a bit and still does but I sit at home watching Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler (who might finally be getting a push, but the IC title can be a curse) Jack Swagger, Cesaro, four guys that I've been watching with investment in for years now to very little gain.
Rhodes irks me the most because when they did that Authority angle and he had huge involvement it was the stuff of dreams. He was well over and pulling off some things in the ring that nobody else was doing at the time. They missed a big opportunity with him then, and then again when he and gldust should have split and feuded. I know they're a good tag team in a division that needs some visually paired teams but if they split those two now, who will care? Rhodes, like he does with every role, is fully on board as Stardust, which is ok to watch, but that brother vs brother feud won't mean jack now that neither are individuals.
I'll keep watching and hoping that one day my boys play in the big leagues, but with more forks in the road they lose momentum and surely self-intetest in the WWE, I fear that like Swagger, a few can never come back from bad booking decisions

I started watching wrestling in 1999 and haven't been to a live show until this week. So much fun, massively entertaining and I'm definitely going again.
I booed Cena out the building on Monday night, I went to RAW with 3 mates. I then took my girlfriend to Smackdown on Tuesday and cheered him all night. That's the beauty of it, there were a lot of kids there on Tuesday compared to Monday so I felt itwas my duty as a member of the "universe" to go with the script. Whereas RAW was mostly an older crowd and obviously we were all more vocal in our opinions.
So much fun though, Regal smacked Cena after SD and then took an AA but it was golden, and the best thing I liked about RAW was that it didn't feel like a throw away show which I feared it might be. They really brought us a good show over that nullified HHH being absent (something I was a bit gutted about at first)
Seeing Vickie almost smiling at the heat she was getting was brilliant too, she clearlu loves the role. Maddox was great on SD too, classic heel move of saying he was happy to be here in Liverpool. Gotta love that.
Good column Mazza, had no idea you was a Brit!
