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.

This is what GOATsso has been saying for years and finally people are starting to listen to him.

What is more entertaining, Zayn/Owens for 20 minutes just spamming big spots, near falls and no selling; or Austin attacking Vince in hospital, fighting Booker T in a supermarket? The beer truck, the cement truck?

I know which is gonna be remembered more in 10 years time. Like you said, these nikkas are good in the ring but why should I care? Casuals don't want good wrestling, they want good entertainment; this is something Vince knows and it's why he prefers "sports entertainment" to "wrestling". Casuals draw, hardcore fans don't, and casuals don't wanna watch Cesaro/Balor for 25 minutes just spamming big spots and near falls.

One of the most memorable moments of the last 5 years is the pipebomb, that says it all. The most memorable moment is a promo, not an actual wrestling match.

Like GOATsso says, when Jake Roberts came out the whole snake in the bag thing stood out, it was his character and it made him what he is. What is Finn Balor's character? Putting on some face paint once a month? They call him the Demon, fukk that. There is only one demon and his name is Kane, Kane has set people on fire, electrocuted people, ripped of cell doors, threw people in wheelchairs off the stage among other things. What has Balor done to earn the moniker "demon"?

I havent watched RAW since the one after wrestlemania but i watch PWG, ROH, NJPW, Evolve, LU and others. I had friends who only watched WWE watch some of the stuff I watch and they now like the other stuff better. Its a matter of perspective. WWE will NEVER out PWG, PWG. Theyll kill their wrestlers trying. They should focus on what they have an entire 35 person committee for, creative.

it's the social media age, people share everything. if you have something worthwhile, word will get out.

people aren't watching because the show is terrible.

Basically can't say what's already been said but until the writing gets back to where it can put out compelling tv this era ain't shyt. I won't lie like most of these dudes aren't putting out bomb matches but what's the reason for me to tune in the next week?

Zayn/Owens was lit but I'm a casual fan right now not afraid to admit it...but why the fukk should I care about these dudes or why they are fighting ? This is a great in ring era but it's boring as hell right now:russell:

Sadly the best worst thing I've seen in damn near 5 years is this Broken Matt shyt. I honestly don't know what the fukk I've watched but it was terrible and awesome at the same damn time

Nikkas still running with that dumbass "Hardcore/Casual" shyt like it's 2000 and half the country still on dial up internet :francis:

I agree and disagree with Rollins though, while the wrestling is much much better, the stories still suck. No larger than life characters, there's too many "I'm just like you" guys. Bryan has been the only guy to pull that off.
