ESPN 1 - WWE 0

By -
For those who may think by the title this is Vince's newest rival but nope ESPN as far I can tell ESPN analyst will remain out of the WWE for now at least. That is unless Coachman wants to comeback anytime soon (Not likely).

It's just ESPN has been doing Power Rankings for WWE based off what you see on their shows like who wins/loses, most crowd heat/support, etc. Well in the newest Power Ranking which The Shield tops by the way they mention the how silent the crowd was last for most of the show excluding some points. They said:

“For a company that prides itself on listening to its fans, I wonder how much weight it gives to 3 hours and 20 minutes of near silence (except for the very loud ‘You can’t wrestle’ chant aimed at Fandango, even if he did deliver a sweet flying leg drop). I think the dead crowd speaks volumes about the upcoming WrestleMania card and the lazy booking that goes along with setting up a string of rematches people weren't really clamoring to see in the first place.”

This couldn't be more true, I have heard from numerous people online of course that with the lack of hype & "lazy booking" it doesn't feel like Wrestlemania season normally does and it's annoying. WWE every year always has their best TV from January to April or whenever Wrestlemania is but not this year. TV ratings reflect that as does lack of fan interest in Wrestlemania. I think it's like the blurb above says they just set up a string of rematches ala Brock vs Hunter & Rock vs Cena that most people really didn't want to see anyway. But will Mania still do good, Yes, will the IWC complain oh heck yeah (that's just what most of us do), will the WWE care that we are complaining.... Nope because they care more about the casual fans then the Hardcore fans. Why or How will they still make money because of said casual fans who bought into Cena vs Rock rematch same with Hunter vs Brock. But why is a different story WWE goes to the casual fans over the Hardcore fans because the casual will like who WWE tells them to or will a specific based on how he is booked. That's not the case for Hardcore fans they don't care who WWE tells them to like they cheer or boo who they want. Which is why either way if this years Mania has a case of Lazy Booking all over it it will still make money!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push
