6. Pointless
Do you know what WWE needs more than anything? Well, besides less content, no more authority figures, some new talent, and consistent writing? Someone who actually keeps track of wins-and-losses! As just stated, Sheamus vs. Randy Orton is the Fantastic Four remake of professional wrestling feuds. Its unnecessary, and no one wants to see it. Not only is it stale from an entertainment standpoint, but from a storyline view it is completely pointless, because its the same outcome nearly every single time: Orton dominates Sheamus. In those five televised singles matches, Orton won three, Sheamus won once, and we had a no contest. But the tag matches? It's downright embarrassing. Orton took all seven. So basically, he went 10-1-1 during the feud. What point was there in so many matches then? Couldnt we have stopped after three tag matches? How about five? Its no wonder that no one, including Sheamus, is excited about Sheamus as Mr. Money in the Bank.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
