I want to see some strong black figures for once in the WWE. Matter of fact more urban representation as well. They figure by catering to us that sending Roman Reigns to Hot 97 to chop it up with that cornball Rosenberg helps
They should make Kofi world champ
Maybe make New Day edgier to make there shelf life longer , they could go for another 3 years if booked right

Wrestling right now is underachieving.

There is talent there tho.

But less than in years past. Now you have alot of ppl getting in for the fame, not bc they grew up watching it

The Mixed Match Challenge is a delight to watch and part of why I :comeon: when brehs say the current roster has no charisma. You can watch that and see when these cats have tons of personality when they're free from the stale booking and bad scripts of the main roster shows.

I'm sure I'm going to echo what's been said:

Too much wrestling- there really needs to be an offseason now because there's just too much of it. WWE is saturating a very niche market and it's making their wrestlers and their events feel less special.

Smackdown needs a reboot ASAP

They need to get back to characters and stop having matches just for the sake of matches. Showcase characters and stories

Allow cats to flourish rather than deeming who's going to be on top of the card. Let the fans decide and work from there

Things need to feel more organic than they do and less predictable. The build up to Mania 15 is a perfect example of this: McMahon won the royal rumble, which yes is ridiculous but it served a story purpose. From that one shakeup at the rumble, we got Austin vs McMahon at an in your house, which led to him getting his spot against Rock at mania, while also incorporating the big show and mankind. It told a compelling story that didn't feel predictable and made sense based on everyone involved.

I think my 12 years old self would hate me. We have now access to all these wrestling and yet this is the LESS I've ever watched. But I still enjoy some stuff.

The best thing to do is take 3-5 year breaks.

Me for example watched wrestling religiously from 1988 to 1993 took a casual 3 year break (ECW reeled me back in)

Then watched all 3 religiously again from 1996 to 2005 including indies & the begining of TNA.

Took a 5 year break without casual knowledge of what was going on.

Started up again in 2010 around the time the Nexus angle took off and if it wasn't for SOHH/TSC i wouldve quit watching completly.

So... as of now since Daniel Bryan/Punk left I've been watching the big 4 PPVS without much care or fukks to give to the other ppvs/shows/feds/storylines etc...

The wow factor for me is gone , & tbh they (WWF/E )been in cruise control since 2004.

The product litterally has the same vibe as 8 years ago


Think about how much changed happened from 1991-1998


Just honestly think about it

And think about how much changed in the last 8 years




Nothing at all , they pushed newer guys but nobody is interesting, we watched wrestling for the fukkery , i mean Kevin Owens is considered a HUGE name right ?


He looks like some outta shape fan who wrestles
Like nobody looks like a superstar, only person interesting was Enzo he even had Weeknd connects
