It's funny though, anytime someone doesn't go with the group think around here (and there is plenty) they're accused of trolling. nikka, not everybody is crying over Bryan or obsessed with the New Day. People actually do like Show, Kane and Cena. Not everyone watches five hours of wrestling per week and complains about 90% of it. :heh:

I'll never understand why wrestling fans are the only people who will actively watch and even financially support a shytty product. They have almost nothing positive to say but will tune in every Monday and sometimes Thursdays. Of course when this is brought up they act as if you've offended them somehow. Then the "Bu bu bu but I've been a wrestling fan since 1982. I just want them to get better. :mjcry:" Man look, I was an Eminem stan from like 1999-2002 or so. Do you think I listen to him now? I won't even download a song for free, let alone buy his shyt. I don't like it anymore. Just because I liked it once upon a time doesn't mean I should torture myself with his shytty current material.

As for RAW, if I do put it on it's background noise. If a particular segment got a lot of attention on here I'll watch it. But the product is overall sorry. I can't actively support it. I'm not going to put myself through it.

This whole thread: http://www.thecoli.com/threads/no-bad-booking-excuse-for-sheamus.375822/

Terrible. And now that it's imploding I don't want you all to pretend you were never riding with this shyt either. Most of these chicks either need to be valets or wrestling 90 second matches. THIS is the main event. :scust:

This crowd fukking sucks. This is actually an entertaining segment.

This match is boring and gay.

It's also funny to see you guys shyt on Sheamus when Rollins is everything you get on Sheamus for being. Internet wrestling communities cac or black will always have soft spots for vanilla midgets I suppose.

Waste of 20 minutes. I just can't be arsed to care about any of this.
And yes complaining about other people complaining still counts as complaining. :skip: But I expect Always Wrong to keep denying the truth as always.

SvS ends with Hunter raising Reigns' arm, the ratings remain stable at worse and jump at best.
But this company will cut off the nose to spite the face.
I didn't see a second of RAW, network sub expires next month (not renewing) and won't be tuning in until the night of the Rumble at the earliest.
I haven't been this uninterested in "sports entertainment" and pro rasslin' since I initially stopped watching for a decade as a 12 year old back in 2004.
Not even TSC can make this garbage smell sweet and if the Rumble is another mountain of poor decisions and horrid writing, I'm likely checking out for another decade.

Back in the day when RAW was trash I watched Smackdown exclusively. The E did a good job at distinguishing both brands that I had no idea what was going on during RAW for months. Smackdown kept me fed for a while.

I think it was around the time Noob Saibot won the rumble in 2004 and went to RAW that I started paying a little more attention to it though it wasn't as interesting as the Brock Lesnar / Eddie Guerrero storyline going on leading up to No Way Out.

Now that the brand split is over and Smackdown turned into RAW rewind, there is no decent alternate available on network or basic cable channels. I know there is NXT but my certs aren't in order and I don't have he network.

Might as well take that vacation. It's not going to get any better.

I can't think of a single person who unironically likes Big Show, Kane, and Cena in 2015.

I find them entertaining. Sue me. :yeshrug: I have more invested in these guys though. As does the audience. That's why they always draw a reaction. They have established CHARACTER, something the rest of the roster is sorely lacking. Let's look around shall we....

Ziggler - Flashy white guy
Tyler Breeze - Flashy white bad guy
Ryback - Muscular anti-bully
Kevin Owens - Fat regular bully
Cesaro - Foreign guy who can fukkING WRESTLE
Sheamus - Corny Irish guy
Wade Barrett - He's British
Alberto Del Rio - Mexican

I could go on and on. These guys have no character. I can't put an investment into a black hole. The best stories can be written around characters. I like those stories. Hence, I like wrestlers with stories and unfortunately they're all getting up there.

I DO like Sheamus based on what he could be. He has potential right fukking there on the surface but creative is like nah; feed this average promo guy corny and long winded lines. He can kick ass later. To see the inverse look up Reigns, Roman circa 2014-Summer 2015.

Five posts? :mjlol: nikka, move around.

There were plenty more examples but if I kept going you would get on me for taking the time to post so many examples so whatever. And a lot of the examples I used just were from this month.

You just never can admit when you're wrong (which is frequent). Whatever. :yeshrug:

Now the countdown to sub 2 ratings continues :blessed:
