He doesn’t sound like a fan. WWE is a lot of things, including the most successful wrestling promotion in history. They know how to make money hand over fist, but that does not mean they are the most entertaining company. A good bit of their television product is not often well received, and now a WWE Hall of Famer is venting some issues he has with what the company is offering.
Ronda Rousey returned to WWE after nearly three years away and won the women’s Royal Rumble. She has since announced that she will challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte at WrestleMania 38. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry spoke about Rousey’s return at the Royal Rumble. Henry took issue with WWE ignoring the Brand Split by having Rousey appear on both shows. Henry said that if WWE is going to keep changing things around, they might as well have one roster. He also said that he felt his intelligence was being insulted by the whole thing.
Opinion: This is something that does make sense in theory, but at the same time, Rousey only just returned to WWE and can pick the champion of her choosing to fight. It isn’t like she already has a brand so this isn’t exactly breaking WWE’s rules. That being said, it isn’t like WWE has a great track record in this area in the first place, as the Brand Split has always been a bit all over the place. It’s one of WWE’s creative issues, but there are some far bigger problems to deal with first.
What do you think of Henry’s comments? What is WWE’s biggest creative issue? Let us know in the comments below.
