The lack of fukks given by the fans is a direct reflection of that shown by Vince and co:manny:
There's just nothing going on no matter what kind of fan you are.

More into story/character? Almost every feud is completely limp with almost no momentum.

Care mostly about matches? The cards lately have just been the same people having repeats of the same matches.

Mainly a casual fan? All your faves aren't doing anything worth a damn.

Hardcore? Outside of NXT, same as the above. Add in the fact that you likely enjoy people aside from the main eventers, and chances are your guys/girls don't even make TV most of the time.

I understand the end of the year is usually pretty dead, but they seriously don't give a fukk this year.

The brand split sucks it's the same matches over and over

It's not even cause of the split because neither show is using its full roster. Raw and Smackdown both have a solid dozen or more guys who just work the dark matches or sit in the back, and both are running stories where their tiny women's rosters are doing big group fights.

The problem is less the size of the rosters and more the mismanagement of them.

That's always been the central problem. The brand split has done wonders for many people but at the same time some people have been completely neglected.

Yea man I was thinking about a lot of those things earlier today:
- The Universal Title doesn't have a memorable run attached to it over a year in
- The Universal Title has to be approaching being off TV for half the time since it was introduced
- There is no main event scene and thus no main event players (I don't rate this who's gunna eat the next F5 shyt)
- We knew the Shield reunion was a vehicle for Roman and they got us on nostalgia at the start but those dudes aren't hitting like 2012-2014
- Speaking of the Shield, them and the Bar holding the tag team division and titles hostage for months now
- Finn Balor in midcard purgatory as someone put it and seemingly never going to get his runback for the title (I don't even remember if Owens got his)
- Finally get an intriguing non title storyline going in the women's division and fukking it up in less than a month
- Braun Strowman being cooled off for what?
- Rushing Asuka vs Absolution for what?
- Kane for what?
- Stephanie McMahon for what?
And that's just Raw. Man I could go on and on but the picture of the product being trash doesn't need anymore garbage water based paint:martin:
