Wrestling used to be about more than just in-ring matches. What happened?

Roman vs Jey Uso

Banks vs Bailey

Miz and Otis

Retribution

The Hurt Business recruiting

these are all current storylines that aren’t just based on the ring and have outside of the ring “drama”. Wrestling (in WWE) has largely used the same formula for a very long time.

People are not being honest with themselves. If they just said 'I wanna be 12 again' and kept it moving, 90 percent of these threads wouldn't get started.

it cant really be about promos/storylines now because they are scripted and controlled by an old fukk with dementia and bad taste.

They not recruiting entertainers no more it’s all about who gets the most hype in a bingo hall


well it was the bingo hall guys who saved their product(danielson & punk).

yet & still, the main people that they push to the moon are their homegrowns.
but their homegrowns that get the big push always suck, outside of brock lesnar.

those guys have put on some of the best matches in the company's history, if we're being real.

besides, those dudes are NXT lifers. its not like theyre ruining the casual viewers' vibes on raw or smackdown.

raw & smackdown still revolves around mostly trashy sports entertainment guys. orton just won the belt for the 96th time, the miz just won the briefcase again by having the silliest showdown possible with another "entertainer", roman reigns(who i like) and his 3 moves is more unstoppable than ever, etc etc etc.

It’s all matches where they kick out of unbelievable shyt and false finishes to the point of just get it over with already. They killed NXT with their indyriffic bs
