Kinda became side thoughts for a bit. The storyline soon re-entered the focus of SmackDown, and now we've been teasing the admins turning their backs on each other for, what, a month and a half? Like, damn, either tell the story or don't. It feels kinda half-assed and I am very weary of them going nowhere satisfying with it. Totally disagree with this sentiment. If you're telling a long-term storyline, this is how you do it. Nothing is in a holding pattern here. The progression with Owens and Shane has been pretty logical from the outset and giving them more wins as time passes helps build the threat they present to Shane. It makes Shane's anger grow in response and the more unhinged Shane gets, the further from cooperation Daniel drifts. Daniel's character wants Shane to see his behavior as a bad thing; this works well in giving Daniel a slow realization that Shane is the Authority he fears. Sure, long-term storytelling should be a good thing. It's been done logically up to this point. But, there's been a few times already when I figured they should make some kind of bigger move and they haven't. Also, WWE usually goes way too fast with their stories or they just kill them off before they ever have a chance to flourish, and when they try to do long-term stuff it doesn't work out most of the time. They make a major mistake or two that end up making the whole thing seem bad. So I am not entirely sure if they've got the right plan in action, and I'm not entirely sure they're entirely dedicated to this story. Like, they aren't just continuing to build tension between Shane and DB because they want to, it's almost like they just don't know where to go after this. And I don't like sticking around for a bunch of stories that keep falling off the track like they have previously, so it's hard for me to stick around to see if this one will be good. I hope it is, of course, but for now I'll probably stay away from the weekly programming until I hear that things are good and staying good. --- Got a brand new blues that I can't explain <cite>Solioxrz362 posted [p:893041154] in All-Purpos...
