Hell No - however, if the point is to make us think that they're gonna end it at any given moment (ie, what happened at HIAC) they're doing a good job.
On a related note - Daniel Bryan: I remember when he won the contract then became a jobber. Then he won the title and has been firing on All Cylinders. Not really sure at what point he finally got over with creative, but suddenly, he's become one of the top guys in the company, as well he should be. They should've let pushed him higher when the YES thing took off, however.
The Tag division: However, this is literally only because they've paired up all the higher-end mid-card singles wrestlers and merged their names together. That's not really how I wanted the division to be rejuvenated; I wanted actual tag teams. Cody and Sandow, Sin Cara, Ryder, they've all gotten seemingly lost their chances at having deserved singles runs.
Big Show: I can't comment about the aftermath of HIAC cos like I said, I missed it, but even though I've been ambivalent towards show ever since he was the Giant, he and Sheamus put on a hell of a show. Dude went out there looking like Mark Henry did when he beat Orton for the WHC, but Sheamus also looked like a million bucks. That was excellence in storytelling. Sheamus losing is what put the exclamation point on the match. But Shows win was wonderful. I'm happy for him. Even if it's to lose to Ziggler, at least he was given one last title run.
Zigger - I've loved ziggler for a some time now, but he's never been over with the general audience. I dunno if it's cos he has Vickie as a mouth piece, or he still loses way more matches than he wins, despite his godly talent. I love him on the mic. I want to see him there so bad. Even if and when he wins the WHC, he's just gonna job it to orton or sheamus anyway.
Cena - Yep, because I miss him shoved down our throats and would prefer it to Ryback. This whole thing with Vickie and Dolph though... it's almost as if they're giving him a test run on the mid card level while Punk is handling the main event scene. Guess we'll see.
The IC title - Miz and Kofi are on their way to making the title mean something. The feud over it is interesting and they've had some good matches together.
Things I can't stand:
Creative: They've spent the last year and a half not quite sure what they want to do, resulting in horrible inconsistencies and other idiotic moments.
Ryback: I. Fucking. Hate. Ryback. Literally, all he says is Feed Me more, and has two minute squashes. Even goldberg by this point had become something of a legitimate presence. Ryback is still just a gimmick.
