I feel like WWE is in a dangerous place right now

[TransJenner]

I'll never understand the hype with Kevin Owens

He's just a fat guy in a shirt , looks like someone from my high school wrestling

 

[dogavi]

i watched raw and sd on dvr this morning and just kept thinking "why do i waste my time with this?"

jason jordan being angle's son and then doing nothing with it because it fell flat, but somehow they didn't anticipate it
splitting AA and enzo & cass (two teams that had chemistry) for no reason when they were already short on tag teams
meaninglessly taking the belt off sasha after a week
pulling lana from rusev to do boring shyt with tamina, who nobody cares about
mike bennett and maria were a terrible signing, get no reactions and should be in the vanilla midget stable with cole, fish and o'reilly
75% of the cruiserweights are boring and never interact with non-cruisers
changing emma's music for no reason
overdoing the breezango fashion files jokes

roman and braun are literally the only parts of the show i find entertaining right now.

i took a break from wrestling from like 2005 to 2011 and then another from 2012 to 2014. might be time to check out again.

The product is completely dry right now.

-Nothing much is exciting and they're having to manufacture "real life heat" between Cena/Reigns to make something interesting.
-Brock just isn't interesting anymore as champ. This isn't 2014-15....his matches aren't "must see" like they once were just from a spectacle standpoint.
-The semi-Shield reunion is boring
-Samoa Joe is actually interesting now but he's likely not going to get a run as a main guy
-tired of Kevin Owens..completely.
-the women aren't interesting anymore b/c they have no angles.

And good heavens, the WWE Network is dry as a desert right now. They don't add anything new anymore, it's like the budget cuts have stopped them from doing anything. No new shows, no old WWF/WCW uploads.

A very anticipated football season is looming around the corner right now and there's literally almost nothing interesting or must see about WWE right now.

The fukk are you talking about? They added more vault content in the past 2 months than the prior 3 years. Whole years of WCCW, new never before aired on 24/7 Old School Shows dating back to 1973, almost the entire run of WWE ECW, Thunder is reportedly the next big dump, new collections every month, NXT when it was still just on local Florida stations, Mae Young Classic is currently on going, 205 and NXT are weekly Network exclusives.

The wwe is better now than they were five years ago.

The Indy scene is at the weakest it's been since `02

1. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh

The way you feel about WWE is the way I feel about pro football. I could give two shyts about this season. I'm really enjoying wrestling at the moment. Mainly because HHH , Shane, and Steph aren't hogging the shows every week. They've actually built a star in Strowman, the tag division is top heavy but produces excellent matches. A lot of the divas have legitimate stories to their characters besides fighting over men and insults about their looks. I'm not huge on Cena-Reigns but whatever. I'm sure the match will be fine. A lot of guys are in purgatory right now, but that's the issue when you have 5 hours of television to fulfill per week. I wish they could cycle guys on a monthly or bimonthly basis to prevent the audience from being exhausted by the same guy every week for 8 months.

No..the women are interesting but they are keeping Bliss a little too strong, Charlotte left after Ric went down, they refuse to push Becky all the way, and Carmella will stand out after the cash in hijinks.

I feel the same way. It's the same thing we've been talking about on here ever since we migrated to the Coli. The in-ring work is great, but the characters and stories are awful. The way they present the product is corny and the way their commentators sell the product is corny. There's nothing hip, cool or fun on any of their shows. Anything fun that pops up on their show, they ruin it immediately.

The wwe has a strong hold over the whole game & they almost to the peak where they fully monopolise the game for good.:hhhtroll:

I know I always tell you this as a joke, but you truly should work for the WWE in some capacity. No matter how boring or shytty something legitimately is, you put such an epic spin on things that you could actually fool people into thinking otherwise

He's just good at what he does

But yeah I've heard many casual people not on wrestling forums say the same thing... he just looks like some dude they found in the parking lot.

I think it's fine as long as he's in the midcard

100% I continue to believe that if any north american promotion had the proper backing that the E would be in trouble. They don't have any big matchups left, sans Nak-Styles after No Mercy. They continue to 50/50 book everyone and the worst thing is that they continue to have Roman be the main star, and he just isn't it. They some great wrestlers, but they don't have that Austin, HBK, Hart, Taker level star to both be good in the ring and carry a top card and push the locker room. The booking is also hell, too, on all levels.

The lack of next level star is by design and an asset to them now. WWE is the selling point, not any individual talent, so everyone can be replaced and things move on smoothly. The only guy who can't be replaced is Cena, and he's on his way out on his own. Roman is great and gets the biggest reactions, but if he were to get hurt or retire, the company wouldn't miss a beat. And that's kind of the point now. They want you to go see a WWE show, not go see a Nakamura match.

WWE is much better than they were a decade ago. The current issue is that Jinder Mahal single handedly turned Smackdown into the B show again, but last year they sacrificed 4 months of time because HHH didn't want to show his face during NFL season and KO/Y2J/Roman/Seth became the most stale storyline in history. Looks like more effort is given with the matches at No Mercy, but it's all for naught if Brock is going to fukk off until January with the belt after this match.

Sorry, but this is foolishness on ur part.

Nobody has ever left and the company suffered. Maybe in the 90s with Hogan, hall, nash etc. But the days of fed jumping are dead obviously.

Even if ur referring to the Rock leaving, the company never missed a step. If anything, Rock leaving opened the door for others to grow great. Austin leaving at times helped solidify Rock.

Undertaker being gone hasn't left a void. Only reason Brock leaves a void is bc he has the damn belt

They're just playing it safe bc Vince wants kids to like Roman and buy his merch. That's ALL it is.

Adult fans sparingly put up with the Cena era, but they wont stick around for Cena 2.0 in Roman. Especially with their being no CM Punk or Daniel Bryan etc to give adults someone to balance out the product.
