Can someone hip me to the "great creative run the WWE had" during 2012?

You must not have been paying attention...

-Natalya farts

-Brock losing his return match

-Hornswoggle as the anonymous Raw GM

-Lord Tensai

-Daniel Bryan jobbing to Sheamus at WM

-Ryback vs Jared from Subway
 
- This year’s Mania numbers were disappointing, and there is the feeling Rock appearing for the fourth straight year isn’t going to pop numbers this time out. Unless there is a great outside attraction, the feeling right now is the only thing that can get Mania back to its previous years would be an announced Undertaker retirement and it being his final WrestleMania match, something big with Hogan or something big with Steve Austin. At the end of the day, Hogan is going to go with whichever company offers him the best deal.

Sandow was reportedly told not to do cartwheels and singing any more, in part because that’s the gimmick for NXT’s Aiden English now. Word is that Vince McMahon feels if someone on the main roster is doing the same gimmick as someone in NXT, it makes the main roster guy look like an amateur.
:lol: The hell?

But yea, yall need to listen to his (Pac) on Colt Cabana's podcast. Good stuff

:x just looking at this list...wow. Sheamus/Bryan was only good cause of how much of a made man Bryan is now (even though they've managed to make him look less like one in this last month)
 
Word has it Michael Hayes has been suspended indefinitely for offering Rosa Mendes alcohol. Problem with this is Rosa is in recovery & fresh out of rehab.

For those who don't know Hayes is part of the creative writing team & head booker on SD.

The ratings always drop at this time, I don't think you can blame anyone except Monday Night Football. In October 1st of last year Raw got 2.5 rating, the lowest rating since 1997, that prompted the infamous Vince vs CM Punk street fight which managed to boost up the ratings to only 2.8. In comparison this years 2.68 and 2.65 of the last 2 weeks is almost exactly the same and it's not boosted with a match like Vince vs Punk. Also considering that TV ratings are way down across the board for everything due to people cutting the cord and going with internet only options the ratings holding steady should not be considered bad news. The WWE should be used to and plan for the ratings to drop off during football season and rise back up once football season is over, instead of overreacting to the ratings especially since the main culprit is not the booking or the superstars it's Monday Night Football.
