WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 22)

6. No Evidence Of Tampering?

As we saw on Raw, Roman Reigns began his ascent to being one of WWE€™s top babyfaces, which also means he began his painful descent into John Cena and Sheamus style humor. We€™ll talk more about the aftermath of his actions in a bit, but for now let€™s just focus on the inconsistency of WWE storytelling. It all began with Michael Cole€™s weekly interview with Triple H on Wednesday. At the time, Hunter was still somehow unsure of what happened to his wife on Raw. However, Hunter had a sneaking suspicion that someone spiked his wife€™s coffee. Michael Cole, though, told him there was €œno evidence€ of it happening. No evidence? Cole saw exactly what happened in that backstage segment, as did millions of people! Everybody saw Reigns put something in Steph's drink. At least Cole should have seen it, right? After all, he saw her puke in a backstage segment later in the night! Why would the announcers only have seen one of those segments, and not the other one? Besides that, all Triple H had to do was go back and check his DVR to see that Roman was responsible for the tainted coffee. Or, you would assume someone would have told him what happened. But Hunter was clueless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VinoePpNOQY It€™s just maddening that WWE can€™t establish consistency on what their characters and announcers know and don€™t know on their own show. You see wrestlers every week respond to what someone else said about them, because they were actually watching! Other times it€™s completely ignored, and the talent is left in the dark. No other TV show is that inconsistent with its own narrative technique as WWE, and it€™s completely inexcusable to have a team full of writers not realize that. Now if you€™ll excuse me, I€™m going to grab some coffee before our next entry...
