Patience Is A Virtue

Patience Pt. 1
We have our main event match for Wrestlemania 28, next year in Miami. Yes, that's correct, we had our main event for next year announced before any matches were made for Extreme Rules next month. I'm okay with that.

The dream will come true, The Rock vs. John Cena on the grandest stage of them all.

A lot of people are questioning whether announcing it this early makes sense? And I say yes.

We have something to look forward to, even though it's far off, when the time comes, we will be watching.

Also, The Rock is locked into making some appearances leading up to that. He doesn't need to be there weekly.

Come in once a month at most, screw with Cena and then take off for a bit.

Keep in mind, they used to take a year to build up storylines with the payoff at Mania years ago.

Sure the match wasn't signed that early on, but either way it was in the works for a year in the making.

The Mega-Powers Explode anyone? Yea, and look at the end result. Phenomenal story. It can be done.

Maybe having 14 ppvs a year has made us forget about lengthy storylines. I mean, when the longest time we're used to having for build up is 5-6 weeks, then a year can seem like a life time.


Patience Pt. 2

I'm not new to the world of the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community).

I've been in forums on many different pages throughout the web and one thing I see the most is the topic of "This guy needs to be elevated.", "This guy should be getting pushed, he deserves it.".
Now, with some of the wrestlers who have been talked about it I have agreed with, but people are saying this after the guy has been there for a year or two.

That just doesn't work, because then after it happens, after all the begging for "New Blood", the IWC will turn their back on them like that and the next forum saying "I'm so tired of said wrestler, and he doesn't deserve to be where he is."

The fans both IWC and not, need patience. Look at people like Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels. Those guys paid their dues for a long long period of time, and it made the win that much more because as fans we were there through all the times and knew they could do it, and it was a personal victory for ourselves, as if we were in the ring with them during that huge moment in time of their career.

Given, some pushes just seem right no matter how fast they are (ex. Brock Lesnar) but look at how his pro wrestling career was gone just as fast as it got started. (NOTE: maybe not the best example as his UFC career is absolutely stellar...almost, and I proudly wear Death Clutch shirts)

But if you understand what I'm saying here, maybe next time you go into a forum, you might not be so quick to say that "Johnnie NewBody" should be the WWE Champion one year after he starts, and let his character develop over time and capture us through that evolution.

Until next time, Keep it rockin'.
