you'll be bytching in every thread but still watching regardless

Not true. If he wins, he'll never show up except for his usual bathroom break squash matches that people here will pretend are masterpieces.

And I easily tune out of Raw nowadays so skipping a show wouldn't affect me at all. Try again troll. :sas2:

The problems are top to bottom, and tbh yeah it is a good time to stop watching.

I was watching a random In Your House (international incident?) from 1996 the other night with a friend and I was not bored for one second watching the fukking Bodydonnas vs the Smoking Gunns, or Mankind vs Henry Godwinn. The pacing is so much different. You can get slammed, and get up but still be in pain. They arent sitting around doing rest holds. They dont lay down, make pretend they have a concussion, count to ten then get up. The spots arent predictable and its hard to tell what the finish will be cause random moves finish a lot of matches. Undertaker VS Goldust was excellent, they took like 5 minutes after the entrances to even get a spot in. No match on the card had repeat moves. The wrestlers movesets stayed true to their characters. Godwinn and Mankind were NOT doing no technical moves, or holds, it was a fight. So finally when the main event came through and HBK launched himself over the top it was exciting as hell cause the whole show built to it.

Feel like the wrestling now is too predictable, guys all gotta get their shyt in, everyone does the ssame moves. Worst thing is they dont know how to sell now. Todays selling just makes the match more predictable and formulaic, you know now its spot b, spot c, spot d. These older matches just felt like one smooth match, not broken down into spots.

And I have yet to even talk about creative. Obviously that shyt is trash. But lately Ive been wondering why Im so bored watching matches and this PPV really made it stand out.

Just a side note but if anyone does wanna check out that PPV on the network, you should. A bonus is that the Ringmaster Steve Austin does the Cesaro swing....Austin probably doesnt even remember that he did that shyt:russ:

all of the OGs are gone ... we are left with guys like cena, orton, dean ambrose, roman, and owns as veterans..

what can the company do to save it self? get rid of the PG rating?


You're not bored with wrestling, homie.

You're bored with The 'E.
