[Heelish]

I stopped watching around 04/05 but based on what I read on SOHH/other websites:

-Chris Benoit Chris Benoit'ed his family
-ECW got its own show & got cancelled
-Michael Cole got raped
-some jobber punted a baby
-Kane & Lita got married (or engaged?), she had a miscarriage
-Randy Orton fell from top 10 to not mentioned at all
-John Cena became the face of the company & buried everyone until CM Punk became a made man
-Rocky came back & I started watching again
-Brock came back
-HHH "retired" & no one cared

Yeah, not much happened

 

[MF_BREW]

Well we are now in the PG -13 ERA, A cuy named CM Punk has be came BEST IN THE WORLD, John Cena has not had the championship for about a year. Vince "CokeBoy" McMahon has been let go of his On the road duties and now HHH Is taking over that. A little lady Called AJ Lee (TSC Favorite girl) Is now GM of RAW and got DB fighting kane.

powerful post

i lurk the TSC semi-frequently so i know the programming in general is watered down and aimed at children now, when i do happen to catch bits and pieces of Raw on TV it looks pretty terrible and corny but i usually chalk it up to not knowing what's going on in wrestling anymore

so will it get better if i watch it more?

It'll only get better if you post in TSC more

I stopped watching when they dropped the ball on Rated RKO, that had the potential to be the most gangsta group since the nWo. Ain't no trill nikkaz in wrestling no more so nothin to see really.

 

[Jackson LeRoy Briggs]

TNA can't get ratings, WWE is slowly slipping, and two of their biggest stars passed on.

In short:

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

No mention of the Jericho/HBK fued where Jericho shytted on HBK on a weekly basis?
