Is it too much? I am not against them winning the tag titles. They could have rotated which two members defended it. But throwing in the U.S. title? That is what might be too much. I don't feel bad for Kofi Kingston losing the title. He'll probably win 9 or 10 more midcard titles before the year is up. No, not really. But he will win gold again. I feel this is a bad decision in regards to the other midcard heels. You have a lot of guys who are getting pushed that could use a title reign, or at least a title feud. Wade Barrett holding the other midcard singles title doesn't make it easy for other heels to feud against him over that. Dean Ambrose did not need a singles title right now. He has a guaranteed spot right now. And it is a great spot. Guys like Fandango and Sandow can use something to fight for. The Shield holding the tag titles also makes it unlikely that Rhodes and Sandow will be winning them anytime soon. They need to get some midcard titles back on some faces, who should then be booked in feuds against these other midcard heels who are not getting the kind of focus as The Shield. That would keep things fresh.
My problem with the Shield winning titles is that it wasn't even a surprise - as soon as the matches were mentioned on Raw you knew what the outcome would be. To me, the less predictable thing would have been to have them lose - the fans wouldn't have been expecting that.
ReplyDeleteIssue with that would have been, what becomes of the group after that?
