Difference being he was never even there at all. I can get hyped for a champion from promos, brawls etc. I just dont need to see the champ wrestle every week, dont need to oversaturate on matches.
What we'll get for the next 4 weeks is Becky vs her challenger at MITB in some kind of match, and by the time the PPV comes round its boring because we have seen it so much. Its ok to not have them wrestle each other, and just hype up the PPV match. Its what they used to do way back when, and there is so much more talent available on the undercard that doesnt get a chance that you dont need your top top guys doing everything. Even last night, nearly 8 hours of wrestling, and people like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Bray Wyatt etc werent on the card (for whatever reason), there is so much high level talent that can be used to make a good show, but instead they'll continue to push 1 or 2 people a lot and in a year we all complain that people arent getting used properly.
