Vengeance will be...few and far between.

I'm pretty much going to come right out and say it: it was difficult for me to get inspired to make this Vengeance post.  Not because I'm losing my passion; no, that's something that will never die.  But because Vengeance just seems like such an irrelevant PPV in my eyes.  It has a touch of irony to it, too, because I honestly don't see many of the people going into this PPV screaming "VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE" actually winning.  Mark Henry is saying Vengeance will be his, but as far as the storyline goes, Big Show is seeking vengeance WAY more than Henry.  That being said, I find it unfortunate that the WWE has 8 matches scheduled for this PPV.  It makes it feel even more insignificant and not worth buying than it already did, and that says a lot.  I've loved that the WWE has recently adopted the mindset that PPVs are better with fewer matches - for a long time there people were saying that WWE PPVs felt like nothing more than expensive episodes of Raw.  For the last couple of PPVs, there have been fewer matches on the card, the matches get more time, and longer matches feel more important than any match Raw can offer.  This PPV might not feel the same, but I still feel like with good time distribution, the matches that mean the most will still feel at least somewhat important.

Dual Booking: Sin Cara vs Sin Cara, Daniel Bryan Heel Turn

In my last State of the WWE post, I addressed the signs of Daniel Bryan turning heel over the next few months.  If you didn't catch that post, check it out [ here ].  To sum things up, I feel like there are a lot of signs that Daniel Bryan is going to be turning heel over the next few months.  My original list of reasons were: the beard, losing streak, heelish tendencies, MitB briefcase, four relevant face rule, and in-ring talent.  At the same time, I said that Sin Cara might be turning heel, but at the same time, addressed that it is more likely that this is more likely an angle to setup a Sin Cara vs Impostor Sin Cara feud.  The Sin Cara vs Impostor Sin Cara feud is going to be my catalyst to turn Daniel Bryan heel.
