I mean think about Sami Zayn , Finn Bálor


They look like fans from the audience and let’s be honest they’re BORING , they look generic as fukk , aren’t they self aware that they’re not even larger than life
You leaving out the most overrated guy, the big dog Roman who really is boring.

And that's the main problem, because if you're going to look like that then you better have 1999 Jericho charisma:russ:

Company is :trash: and is still living off of shyt that happened when I was in elementary school. There is no reason to sit through a 3 house raw except it being a habit to watch it. What was the last storyline that had you to the point where you couldn’t wait to see what developed the next Monday? For me probably Rock vs Cena I, Punk from the pipe bomb to when they ruined him or The Nexus.

For me it was 2016, with AJ. Honestly 2016 was the last good year for WWE imo.

AJ Styles debut
AJ Styles/ Roman Reigns feud
AJ Styles/John Cena feud
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Zayn
Zayn vs Owens feud
Women’s Division was a million times better than it is now
The rise of Braun Strowman

Just to name a few

WWE is cold as fukk right now. Brock, DB, Rollins, Braun, Roman, whoever can't change that. There are no draws anymore, there are no dream matches left, and the whole company feels like it's in a holding pattern.

They desperately need to bring in new creative people, but that's not how they do things in the rasslin business. We need term limits in creative. :wow:

I skipped Backlash, Raw and SD. It's all boring as hell, but at least chopping it up with TSC is still fun.

I've been saying for years the WWE needs to hit the restart button and clean house of the creative staff like an NFL team that finished the year 2-14. It's ridiculous, especially based on the amount of talent the wrestlers have (or potential they have). They are failing their employees by doing this

They really, really blew it at Mania with Asuka. One of the dumbest decisions since they botched the Nexus.
