Can we say 2016 has been WWE's best in years?

[Straw Hat Luffy]

At least most interesting? I know the WWE has a problem of being inconsistent and the major problem of forcing Roman and the bad booking of him. But I feel like over all this has been great to be a fan of the WWE.

I'm a just go over top moments I can think of right now.
Debut of AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble
Return of Shane
WWE Draft
Crusierweight Classic
Smackdown is live
WWE allowed Brock to fight in the UFC
Return of the gods Cena Seth and Orton
Retirement for Bryan but to come back as Smackdown GM
Finn on Raw and going clean over a lot of top guys last night
The signing of guys such as Nakamura, Bobby Rhode, Austin Areis
Samoa Joe was signed last year but hes nxt champion now
Roman interesting Suspension

And little things I find as golden gems from this year
Enzo and Cass/New Day Promos
Austin and Jericho Podcasts stay lit
WWE is on espn every Tuesday night now for an interview/ plus ESPN reports their shyt alot for specific moments both live and articles
Cena's is doing big things out of the wrestling world
Network releases interesting docs and shows like Seth coming back, Bryan retirement, their specials on ppvs like Mania and Summerslam or takeovers, ride along.


Only thing that can only top all this shyt is a Kurt Angle return or a Cena/Roman turn.


Then the matches

Shield Triple Threat BattleGround
Sami vs Owens from BattleGround
Dean vs Owens Royal Rumble
AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho Fast Lane
Triple H vs Dean Ambrose Roadblock
Ladder match from Mania
Roman vs AJ Payback
Roman vs AJ Extreme Rules
Roman vs Seth MITB
Sami vs Nakamura
then some great matches from NXT and RAW episodes I can't even remember.

Now we have a few months left and we get more ppvs, smackdown is live now and has its own roster so they will go all out and give top matches and moments.


Has there really been anything better than 2016 for the WWE for the last 5 years?
only thing I can think of in a overall view that major happened
CM Punk
Daniel Bryan
Return of Batista/Evolution
Taker Streak ends



I just feel like this year has been better than recent years as a fan.

They are finnaly catering to the IWC, will ultimately be the demise of the WWE. Product will be better, but the real money is with casuals.

I agree with what you're saying, but nearly all of Raw episodes this year have been

The ingredients are right but the soup just don't taste right

Matches are too long, save that shyt for the PPV's. Needs to go back to 2 hours or a may be 2.5.

 

[Superkick Party]

I have no problem with Raw being 3 as long as its as good as last night.

Vince Russo said the same.... I guess it's really true when they say "great minds think alike"

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

A Kurt Angle return

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Meh, let's wait till the year is over

But considering how trash they've been for years..... only place you can go is up

85,000 IWC members paid to go to WrestleMania to boo Roman Reigns and cheer IWC favorites Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, damn those 85,000 paying IWC members, ruining the business and shyt Lets face it, if you're a Wrestling fan in 2016, most chances are, you're a smark, even the little kids. You see all those little fans of Bayley and Finn, and NXT damn sure ain't on Cable. IWC or "smarks" are the most loyal WWE fanbase.

Smarks are also needy and complain too much about the product. The end product will never be perfect for them. Why did they do this finish, why couldnt they do this that, why is he still a face.

I agree to an extent, some people were still complaining (not on here) about the new RAW theme and set. People been wanting a rock theme for 4 years and still complaints because it's Shinedown I think my biggest gripe with smarks has been Reigns though, he's clearly improved and made himself a powerhouse wrestler starting with his feud with AJ and yet he's still the butt of most jokes because he does PWG it up.

That said, as much as they complain, they still gonna tune in next week, not the casuals. Although you can attract the casuals by putting on a good product because THATS the reason people stopped watching, not "smark pushes" or any of that shyt, it's because the product became stale.

Nope we lost Daniel Bryan as an active wrestler

And as good as 2016 been, it's also been kinda boring as well. I've been more excited with WWE these past few days than I've been this whole year.
