BookerT on Raw commentary for good... No offense to the guy but I can't really understand him very well. He talks like a raspy voiced rasta elf. I get why they are doing it though... Jerry is probably on his way out, could be his last year, so get the replacement in early.

Thoughts from NXT.
Curtis Axel and Hideo was a bit of a disappointment. I expected more from Axel but he proved he ain't much. Chad Gable, who I thought was a jobber, had a match with Breeze. Wow, this match was on the 12th of December, nearly a month ago. I thought it would be a bit more recent than that. This guy made it to the Olympics but flopped in a qualifier. Still he looks promising. Charlie Haas type promising, not Kurt Angle. He lost though but at least got in offense. When they come back the commentary team had to point out some new guy who was lurking in the background. I swear nobody could of seen him first time around. No idea who this guy is. I guess I could find out but maybe better to keep it a surprise. Sasha beat Alexa. Alexa looked good for about a minute then typical squash. Lucha Dragons against VaudeVillians. Not very interested. The finisher looked OK but I was fazed out by this point. |

Speaking of J.R......
Here is a two minute clip of some wild activity. Someone replaced the audio track with Ross and King commentary. Quite funny. **************/bftszda7 |

I don't know if it is a way to proove how bad has been RAW/SD as of late, but from a number of reasons I have a lot of wrestling in my phone. I currently have
Last 2 Raws Last 3 Smackdowns TLC NXT R Evolution Wrestling Kingdom 9 I usually watch any of these shows and delete it (that's why I don't have NXT, is much easier to see) but I still can't finish watching Raw/Sd. I watched WK9 in 2 parts (I downloaded it at midnight, so I watched before going to sleep and the next night I finished it), but WWE shows have been so boring as of late that I can't watch more than 20-30 minutes before I look for other things to see/do. I rather rewatch R Evolution or WK9 than finish Raw/Sd. Now I usually skip to things I wanted to see (any Harper, Paige, Ambrose or Brock segment) and I leave the rest for later, but that usually that "later" never comes. Any of you guys have the same problem with the current product?

I'm sure everyone here skips something about a show they have no interest in seeing. Raw is 3 freaking hours, I skip a lot backstage talking, whenever I see a pointless match, anything with Cena, Adam Rose and dumb Bunny, Rusev and even the Borthurity even though they continue to be soo much of the show. SD I think is better than Raw simple cause you're gonna get the most wrestling out of the main roster besides on PPVs. Overall ALL shows are better than Raw and it's sad.
NXT is the only WWE show(if you can even say it is) that I can watch all the way through.. It's not even a hour long and I can get through without any problems cause I think it's the best show outta them all. |

I can't stop watching WWE for just what it is, regardless of how shite it is lately. I think a lot of people are in that position. I think when all the old guard are retired I might stop. I have a feeling that will be after Wrestlemania 32. I will probably keep watching after that though.
I tried Lucha Underground and I lost interest. Striker was being hoaky, I couldn't give a crap about any of the wrestlers and I don't look at how it's shot and all that shit. Just give me good stories and I fazed out on Puma and his so called story. I just saw him and a bunch of ex WWE guys and lost interest. The spot fest matches got old quickly. ROH I only care about watching the PPVs. The TV show never grabbed my attention. TNA I watched the Dest USA debut and it was OK. But then I read spoilers and saw a lot of shit coming up and listened to the fact fans had to wait around for like 20 minutes between segments demanding refunds and I was like OK, what are they doing? Not sure if I'll keep watching them. We all play booker with WWE because we want them to be good. Match ups are way too stale. I wish they could bring in AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt for one more run, bring the Hardys and Dudleys back. Enough of this all come through NXT shit. Only reason NXT is good is because they have guys that should already be on Raw. The minute they go to Raw though they'll suck and get hardly any pops cause the majority won't know who they are. Emma, Dallas, Rose... everybody is flopping apart from Rusev and Roman because they are Vince guys and Seth is a Trips guy. Dean can try his ass off to get over but he'll need his own f'n YES chant movement to sweep the world, same with Cesaro. Bryan is oddly enough keeping these guys down cause they need his spot cause for some f'd up reason there is seemingly only one of them. Maybe it would of been better if he retired lol. Fuck, I don't mean that about Bryan. I'm just battering away here on the keys typing a bunch a shit. I battle through, I ain't gonna mope but sometimes it gets a bit overbearing. |

I can see Zayn, Owens and Balor having success in the main roster, Charlotte will get the Flair push and maybe have success, so as Sasha (sadly I see her taking the spot Cameronn hass despite being one of the more talented females right now). Corbin could get the Roman push (for the looks), but he is way too green. The rest is a question mark.
Of the next call ups so far: - Roman, Seth and Bray are doing great and have backstage support - Dean could be as succesful, but for some reason he is losing the big matches. - Rusev will be ok until he loses, then he's screwed and will have the same fate as Umaga. - Paige is slowly gaining momentum and with AJ constantly taking breaks I guess she'll be build up as the face of the division in the years to come. - Harper will be in the midcard, a Cesaro in the making: Really talented, putting great matches but losing all feuds. My only hope is that he's more talented than Cesaro in the mic - The rest are and will be jobbers: Big E, Woods, Rose, Dallas, Summer, Emma, Rowan
