My 2 cents.....it's getting harder and harder to be a wrestling guy...especially since I hit my 50's.... Yes, all of my friends make fun of me.... Like, you still watch that crap....it's for 12-year-olds..... but only now, only now, am I seeing the light..... They are now treating us all like we are 12...
and then on the RAW reunion show they have Miz Tv and Bliss crap back to back...and the 2 talk shows dragged the show down....I was so pissed... I was like,,, it is supposed to be a special night and you do S>O>S and then they have Miz Tv again on smackdown.... Less talking and more action.... |

I watched wrestling for 45-50 years and finally gave it up a few years back when too many storylines that made no sense kept happening.

It's become an idiotic mess, too much talking that doesn't move anything along and not enough actual wrestling or stuff moving stories along into the wrestling.

Watch what is enjoyable, not what frustrates you.

^ cant do it...we already saw those shows and old wrestling is like an old movie, sometimes enjoyable but quite boring, like watching the first Avengers movie as opposed to watching infinity war/endgame. Its all about new content regardless of its blatent redundency.They save the
less talk more wrestling for the PPV (i think) and do the opposite on MNR/SD but like duff said the talk shows waist time...should be time for EC3 or another who is not getting on camera to have storylines/matches |

Guess I'm in the minority here... I'm old, too, but I like the drama.
I'll watch the first segment of RAW live (unless they go directly to a match) then DL the show the next day. FF through the wrestling and watch/listen to the talk sections. I think it's funny. Lots of times real life situations get thrown in. Used to love the spontaneous fights, run-ins and melees, but they, like all of the other action, has become unwatchable. The shaky handheld camera and the quick cuts changing camera angles makes it impossible for me to view with any pleasure. |

I enjoy the drama and promos too but now they're mostly poorly done and often don't fit the characters. Seth doing comedy for instance is a no. That bit on Raw about Brock was extreme cringe. He's suppose to be a top guy ffs. You can't watch that shit with a non fan and not get embarrassed. Why the heck don't they trust him to come up with his own stuff. They let Austin waffle on. Mind you, they don't trust Flair anymore, which is BS. Is Seth coming up with that comedy, I highly doubt it, but if so, he should not be allowed to do promos. If he isn't then ffs don't give him a script.

Your top guys have to be cool. People see Austin as cool because he has bad ass music and credence, in other words, hasn't been tainted and made to look like a schmuck. Seth can do shit comedy once he gets to an Austin level as basically everybody lets you off the hook. He isn't going to get there though as nobody can anymore and therein lies a problem. They regard their past as more important than their present and future and the fans pick up on that. The competition may help but the current TV product will have to be remodeled significantly. Chances are they might just copy portions of AEW because they have bugger all creativity so it seems. |

So we've picked up matches with Trish(v Charlotte) and Goldberg(v Ziggler) in the last week. So no major change of tactics for bad numbers yet.

Is it just me or have Seth and Roman had long enough to try and get over and flumped. No one gives a rats ass if Seth wins at SummerSnore, he's looked like a schmuck for weeks from what I've heard and read. Roman in a goofy angle with Rowan or Bryan, whoever it is, not enough time for anyone to care. Oldberg against Zigg is the most pointless match I've ever seen booked in my life and the way they got to it made no f'n sense. It all sounds so boring. They could show three Raw eps from 1994 in the Raw block and they'd still have the same amount of viewers, maybe even more.
