As far as Morrison....
He had to agree to this burial.
Morrison is a guy who while wont be a draw, I could see having great matches with Styles and carrying the x division....
Its a win for him, as he needs to work on his craft, and being asked to do stunt man matches isnt going to do it.
If what Dave Meltzer has been talking about is correct, as soon as he signs he will get a platform to improve...
The bad part is that Christian had the same platform and did nothing with it...
Raw. Didn't watch, had no interest and its because there is no build up anymore. The sad part is that you can have generic wrestlers ( as what happens in every down talent era PG is just an excuse) and properly build a feud.
I don't know what a King of the ring would draw PPV wise, but it cannot be out of the question to have a one show, or 2 show tournament to get us to the Rumble title match. I think that if your going to put Miz in a title match or title feud then you have to get him over as a wrestler. Only way I see that is if he can out together a good match with the likes of Ziggler, Barrett, Rhodes, Kingston over the next few weeks.
Why I include Kingston?
Aside from the Raw botch where Orton went off, Kingston had in every way broken through. Kofi prob has not done a promo since the paint on Orton's Nascar dried. The kid has an talent though, and is not a spot fest like Morrison.
Lets be real its been a year, and he is the most in need of a heel turn, but they have too many already
What is the appeal of Bryan? Well there is the idea that he is the best wrestler in the world, and was that before he went to WWE.
He gets buried to the point of us questioning if he will actually win the title. And that gives us an appeal to watch his work be it on the mic or in ring. We all know that physically he isn't that great, but the IWC being the second largest contingent of people watching outside of the kids controls his future in WWE.
The IWC is why we got the Punk angle, and why he has tapered off.
I'm scared for his title reign, because his technical prowess wont be shown and even if you don't believe that he is the long term future. You have to consider revamping the main event scene to be more skill oriented.
Its not like in the past where they guys couldn't work, and you had to put all the eggs in one basket like the beginning of Attitude.
Vader, Taker, Michaels, Hart's, Stone cold were the best workers above the mid card that either company had. They have so many good workers its not funny right now. Watching Raw makes you cringe at the lack of wrestling, though. Part of that is what has been Vince's long term style part of it is too many wrestlers on one show. And part of it is that guys who have no hope to ever draw a dime ( Mason Ryan) get air time.
