I don't actually have many complaints. Road Dogg ruined Smackdown but RAW has been okay. the PPVs have been decent. Royal Rumble was piff from beginning to end. NXT is great. NJPW is still the best shyt out. Indies are doing okay.

I dont have much to complain about. I can tune out the bad shyt and watch the good :manny:

WWE Network is worth every penny

Not feeling it at all. I stopped watching in like 2009 and a lot of it feels the same as it did then. The overall vibe of the show is so awful. I don't know what type of demographic they're trying to reach with the awful music, awful clothing, lights, awful poses, awful moves, etc. Feels like I'm watching Disney try to make a live action anime or something. I still get my wrestling fix from the network. The wrestling is fine I guess, but I've always watched for the entertainment aspect.

All the people suck. Nobody can cut promos, nobody is interesting or larger than life. Finishing moves look dumb and try hard. Every match is the same and filled with a bunch of dumb false finishes. I could rant all day. I miss the old days

Lucia Underground, New Japan, Progress, Defiant, MLW, Riptide, ROH, etc

There’s a lot of options out there and most of them are free to watch on your phone. They’re not always better than WWE but at least you can’t always predict what these other companies are doing from a mile away because you haven’t been watching them do the same shyt for 20 years.

shyt is so trash im just watching WWF 1996 in full. i was watching Wrestlemania 12 with my homie last monday talking about how trash WWE is that RAW was ON LIVE and we were watching some shyt from 22 years ago instead..

i pretty much just watch Raw/SD recaps on youtube at this point...i do like the roster but the show is in shambles...

Ive realized that im just not into indie wrestling that much...i can watch a match or two but nothing keeps me interested....Lucha Underground is good but i never started season 2.

I was at damn near all time low levels

When I heard about Rollins going 60 minutes in that gauntlet I had to see it

My interest is slowly gaining for WM

That’s how I’ve been for awhile. I’m a fan of a lot of these guys, but the WWE just presents them in such boring fashion. Rusev and English start getting themselves over, then get taken off tv. Usos have been the MVPs for years, and get rewarded with constant pre show matches that are often better than what’s on the main card. All these wrestlers doing hilarious things on social media, but on Raw/SD they look like stale goofs. This roster has the best in ring talent they’ve had since 2003, but not an ounce of character and the shows feel as stale as it did in 2010.

Also, you missing out on LU, I binge watched most of the last season and it reminded me why I haven’t permanently bushed wrestling in the first place

Trash but that is sounding like a broken record, I guess I rarely go into why I think so outside of "I dont watch"

- No characters
- too many shows
- meaningless titles
- the match style with the spam finishers and work rate is awful (MAJOR issue for me)
- Nobody on the roster really catches my eye
- PPV sets
- the hierarchy in main eventers and jobbers dont make sense
- it's the same match rinse and repeat

Biggest problem right now is the lack of a big fight feel and I doubt Reigns/Lesnar and Cena/Taker will fill that void. One match we’ve seen and the other is a few years too late.

Styles vs Nakamura is good for hardcore fans but it doesn’t have much mainstream appeal for WWE.

An indicator of where WWE stands will be how they book Lashley.
