This was the period where I came in and out at times because I was in college or trying to be an adult. There were many points during this period where I outright refused to watch

I was in and out of these era as well, and I think out of that entire period, the best overall year was 2008 for Smackdown, 2012 for Superstars (
), and….i really can’t even tell you for Raw, I just remember enjoying anything Hurt Business/Lashley was involved in (not the Lana garbage though), Shield vs Wyatt’s, Bryan’s rise, Kofi’s run up until Brock destroyed it, Naomi’s title wins, and various CM Punk related stuff. Those were the biggest standouts for me, and of course 2007 was an awful year all around, and 2008-2014 (especially on Raw) had some flat out stupid and boring stretches.

AEW’s advantage was that people were tired of Vince and wanted something new
Once Triple H got control and creative started to improve and have actual logic, people came running back

And my interest in AEW has gone down significantly since they got Vince out for good. Everything that was holding WWE back from 2008 after “the white man” killed his family until the bloodline started has been fixed. Aside from Bryan’s run
Looking back at some of this and I’m ashamed at myself for sticking with it all those years of awful television. And you know who was the face throughout all that time the “goat” John Cena.

But now people are saying NXT black & gold era was trash & it was never any good when dudes are lying their ass after every damm Summerslam or Survivor Series even Mania you would hear these reportsRemember them dirtsheet reports the morning after every NXT Takeover saying how the main roster took note of the show and how they were planning to outdo the Takeovers only for them to put on the worst PPVs you’ve ever seen
I did a wrestling podcast between 2014 and 2016 and it was a fukking chore to get through WWE shyt.I was in and out of these era as well, and I think out of that entire period, the best overall year was 2008 for Smackdown, 2012 for Superstars (

This reminds me, I used to listen to Wai Ting a lot and their reviews of bad WWE and WCW PPVs were great

From 2008 to 2022 how many "good" years were there?
I think the number is less than 5. There were some good stretches of TV but never sustained.

Smackdown 2016 was fire until Vince McMahon got ahold of the ratings and found it was doing better compare to Raw. And did another draft/shake up.
Keep in mind that there was a draft prior to this where he loaded all the talent to Raw.

But his soul was still burning from the reality show guy:
Only to further prove Miz's point
Dude is running his on show and might be an exec when he's retired while the miz is still on reality TV

IMO 2012-2016 was a generally good stretch

Miz is a HoF, but jesus christ this dude will forever be a good hand in WWE
You can make a case for mid to late 2011
