Been saying it for a year straight, and now Rollins has confirmed the truth ...

[Hope]

I don't even watch ROH or TNA anymore (checked them out about a year ago), but WWE right now is on fire, and has been building up to be that way for a whole year (with a few minor setbacks).

Based on what ya post, Japan and ROH are great.

This is better than the Attitude Era all around. Ratings should be up, and if TNA can't get their lives together, than at least ROH should be expanding somehow.

But internet "fans" are turning casuals away and ruining the product. Just saying ...

You have a point with work rate maybe, but overall...NO.

Explain.....

I'm so cynical I thought this was gonna be about Rollins Hoeganing himself

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Explain.....

Why should casuals watch if the hardcore is complaining?

Casual fans don't have internet?

All 100k people at WM were hardcore fans?

People not smart enough to make their own decisions?

As a fan since practically birth, this is the best wrestling has been in a long time. New Japan had classics, ROH had classics, LU dropped classics etc... The 'E has been hit or miss but when they've hit its been very good.

If your tryna get into wrestling, who opinion your gonna look for someone who watched every once in a while or someone who watches all the time?

I'm going to watch and form my own opinion, like i did with New Japan, like i did with Lucha Underground, like i did with Game of Thrones, like i did with College Football.

People wanna see larger than life personas these cats are cool in the ring but why should I give a rats ass about half these cats. It's fake I wanna be entertained outside of 25 minute matches with no selling and cramming of finishers.

I'd rather watch Razor cut a promo and squash some jabroni and be more entertained than watching Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose oversell themselves out they shoes for 20 minutes in some match i'll forget about 5 minutes after it ends.

Give me Flair strutting around the ring in his drawls and some coked up promos to give a reason to care about your match/feud and i'll tell someone who isn't a fan to watch the shows.

Why would I go shill for a product that me and my friends can barely enjoy anymore. It's not a knock on the performers it's just the booking blows and these guys are so bland it's difficult to get invested into the shyt anymore.

Yeah you said you started following CFB when USC started taking off that's how it was with me and FSU back in the late 80s/early 90s I didn't get brainwashed into rooting for USC football or the Raiders like the rest of my family/friends I made my own judgments.

Exactly, all it takes is a hot interesting angle to get people interested ie the "Pipebomb"

Same shyt with boxing you try to explain to a casual how great Floyd is they could give 2 shyts to them he's boring and runs around the ring all night they opinion won't change.
