It's not even football season yet. It's going to get a whole lot uglier :scust:

Like others said, the talent is there but the writing is horrible. Just peep the rusev/lana/summer/dolph angle. It's hideous.

I still watch because of the coli fukkery :manny:

That angle didn't stand a chance to begin with. Dolph is weak on the mic as a face, Lana's Russian gimmick only works as a heel, Summer Rae is :scusthov: overall, and Rusev is injured. Even on one leg, he's been the only saving grace for this angle.

The U.S. Title >>> WWE title, right now in terms of interest

Word. Despite the live crowds loving to hate Cena (hell, I love to hate Cena too), he's one of the only big draws out there that can reliably pick up a mic and move a crowd. Dude routinely gets booed on sight but will have the crowd thawed out in 2 mins of by-numbers mic work... nobody else out there seems capable of it.

Punk had the same gift, but he was never going to stick around for as long as WWE need the "face of the company" to stick around for. There is still nobody that's going to fill that Make-A-Wish slot like Cena has. They've had to mid-card him to give new talent a chance, but he's still CLEARLY got the most star power out there, even amongst the fans that hate him - they boo louder for him than they do the real heels.

The E really need someone to step up and force themselves in by taking some risks, but I get the impression they're warned off every time... creative clearly hasn't got a fukking clue how to turn a mid-carder into a star, the leap needs to come from the talent themselves.

Take the shackles off Social Media and give them the space to create, sink or swim. Some of them will fukk their careers when it turns out they're racist/homophobic/not funny/into goats, but some will turn themselves into bonafide new legends rather than the imitations of old legends that we're stuck with at the moment.

CeGOAT being on top for 10 years was for a reason, not because Vince has a love affair for him but because he's a really the only superstar on the roster besides Brock. Rollins as a long term champ is already getting stale real quick. Neckbeards were crying for CeGOAT to go mid card and now he made the mid card title bigger then the WWE title :heh:

He gets BY FAR the loudest pops every night and I'm not counting the corny "Cena Sucks" chants

See? This is what happens when The Usos aren't around.

Maybe they'll make some changes soon? Like what made them shift and get it together right before the AE happened?

Or not. :mjcry:

One thing they can do to change is STOP OPENING EVERY GODDAMN RAW WITH AN OPENING 20 MINUTE AUTHORITY PROMO :what:I am legit sick of the term "Best For Business" because of it.

Yeah seriously. viewers tune out when it looks like they're going to get the same damn show they got last week especially when the storyline isn't even interesting
