What Was The Reaction In WWE To Eric Young’s Title Win?

Eric Young recently becoming TNA World Heavyweight Champion has been quite the hot topic since last week. Many people within the wrestling community are accusing TNA of trying to piggyback WWE’s success with the Daniel Bryan angle and no matter what side of the fence you stand on, you can’t deny that the similarities are a little too close for comfort.

Many people have been wondering, what was WWE’s reaction to the big win? According to F4Wonline.com people within WWE were “incredibly amused” in regards to Eric Young winning the title. Their report says that no one has any problem with Eric Young himself but that people in WWE think the way TNA booked the angle was ridiculous.

We can’t say we really disagree. This is great for Eric Young but this week’s episode of Impact only helped to increase the criticism when Dixie Carter cut a promo talking about how other wrestlers with beards were ripping her off. It also didn’t help that the crowd chanted “you deserve it” just like they did when Daniel Bryan won the title. Obviously you can’t control what the crowd does but the similarities when it comes to how Daniel Bryan and Eric Young were booked in regards to their title wins are just too close not to be noticeable.
