An Open Letter to WWE Creative: You’re Killing Me, Guys
On August - 16 - 2010
Dear WWE Creative Team:
OK, guys. We've been over this before. There are times where you make some bone-headed decisions. But I've been quick to say that it's not always your fault. Sometimes, the decisions you make seem good in foresight, but someone doesn't deliver. Or maybe a situation plays out differently in your head than it does in reality. That's all well and good--it's not your fault.
But at SummerSlam, your mistakes built up into one stupendous "WTF" moment.
Let's work through it together, shall we?
The Return of the 'Taker
While your decision to bring back what seems like the 37th installment of ...

Then I was thinking it might be the chance that new and fresh talent might be ...
WWE Writers Need New Outlook, New Strategy
On July - 27 - 2009
July 7, 1996, Bash at the Beach. WCW, a company that had great potential. Eric Bischoff had managed to sign and debut Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who had only weeks earlier been on the WWF's roster as Razor Ramon and Diesel.
There was a stale story within the company: They had a phenomenal superstar, at least a big-money draw, at the top of the roster, but one that was in serious need of an overhaul. Enter the third member of the invading WWF talent, that being the aforementioned superstar, Hulk Hogan.
This revamping of the storylines led to a new direction ...
