A New Beginning

The title of this post could be referring to my return after a long hiatus, but it is intended to mean my hopes for the WWE in the upcoming months. There are a lot of potential changes and storylines in the possible future, and it is my hope that with the supposed renewed emphasis on the creative team and the Diva's division, that some of the possibilities come to fruition. Here are a few of my hopes, I may go into more detail on a few of them in future posts.

1. The Undertaker's streak. I may get some heat for this one, but honestly I hope that Punk breaks the streak. There are a couple of reasons why I want this to happen, and a couple of completely different reasons why I think it might. Mainly I want it to happen because of the goldmine of storytelling it will mean for creative, if they use it properly. Punk would receive a massive amount of heat for it, and would bring about a whole new level of greatness and arrogance to his character, none of which could ever be taken away again. "Titles come and titles go...but I did something that no one else will EVER be able to do."
I think it is a possibility because Taker is old school...I don't see him as wanting to retire the streak, because in the old days you used what you had to put over other people...Andre putting over Hogan, Hogan putting over Warrior, etc. That's how it was done. If Taker is ready to retire, this may be how he does it.

2. A renewed emphasis on the Divas divison. I would like to see more screen time to the Divas, if only because they need to find a better use for all that extra time on Raw these days. Calling up rookies from NXT (Paige for example), bringing back some DECENT talent, and/or some compelling non-throwaway storylines would all be major pluses. I would like to see a titleholder want the Women's championship back (they were unified after all) because of the negative stigma associated with the divas. Paige the anti-diva would be a good choice, but it would have to be a ways off as I don't agree with slapping the title on a rookie.
