3. Cover of WWE 2K14 video game revealed
This isn’t exactly a flop, but when WWE hyped the unveiling of their new video game ‘2K14’, I wanted to see whom they were planning to promote. I honestly thought it would be Daniel Bryan, but to my surprise, it was The Rock. I understand that WWE is business, and Dwayne does more business for WWE than almost anyone else, whether it be a couple of appearances a year or hyping a PPV, but it would be nice to give an active superstar the chance to be the face of the new WWE merchandise, and that is where the fan side of me got peeved.

Daniel Bryan has been the hottest star in the WWE for quite a while, and how do WWE promote him? I’m not knocking The Rock, but let’s look at things this way. If WWE put a Hogan or a Piper on the cover during their game launch in late 99-early 2000s, when Rock was the face of the company, would that be justified? The answer, not so shockingly, is no.
2. Cena’s mic skills
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Okay, so Cena isn’t the best on the mic now. Not that he once was, but he had pretty good mic skills which entertained the fans for a while. But ever since his ‘Superman’ gimmick started, he has been the most monotonous superstar in the WWE, and that includes the likes of Swagger and Del Rio. This week, he did his usual shtick about how his opponent blindsided him, and rounded it off with the all too familiar ‘The champ is here!’ and ‘Our time is now!’.
Sadly, Cena has been saying that for the past 8 years, and we’re left with the feeling of time warp where the time stands still. Cena needs to improve his mic work, and do something with his promos. There is a reason why 80% of the crowd, where ever he goes, boos him out of the building. I, for one, try my hardest to sit through his segments, and I feel sorry for the fans in attendance who have to do that.
1. Vince/Triple H/Vickie Guerrero segments
Okay, whose brilliant mind came up with ‘Let’s waste time by putting the McMahon–Helmsley drama for a millionth time’ on TV? To make matters worse, they do it by involving Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox. Now, no offense to Brad, but he probably has the poorest acting skills on the main roster at the moment. With Vince saying Bryan is an ‘embarrassment’ because of his size, he just knocked down the hottest star in the company!
Triple H did one better by contradicting himself when he said Bryan deserves to be on the show, as he doesn’t care about ‘size’, but asked Maddox if his shirt was available in men’s size. I’m not nit-picking, but this is what we have to sit through every week. I would be glad if WWE decides to go back to 2 hours soon, as these segments can be left from the show, hopefully.
