LA Knight is super over right now and wasn’t even on the show because Roman’s dinner theater act had to be 40 minutes long. Yeah that was some bullshit. Also having to endure an Austin Theory match instead of getting LA Knight, which I think is worse. I'd rather deal with more Roman stuff than ever have to see Austin Theory on screen again.

Like it’s fine if you don’t want him to be champ but at least do something with him.

Anything can happen in the McDonald's Universe! E: now I want to see someone on Twitter that's like that Alfred guy, but instead of a WWE stan he's a McDonald's stan: someone that's just shamelessly shilling for them while lambasting McD's competitors for doing pretty much the exact same thing (but better) Sydney Bottocks fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jul 9, 2023 |

I'm fine with accepting that people enjoy the Roman stuff and that it's the current key to their ratings doing better. I just think that having it go 40 minutes and killing the rest of the show is a bad sign in the long run. Chances are this is going to be WWE's nWo, but at least one of nWo's problems was that they were trying to get too many guys over by becoming members. Here, only a scant few are supposed to really get a rub from it. They are going to run this angle into the ground and history shows that they will not know when to stop and move on.

Yeah 40 minutes was way too long. I'm also not really sure where it can go when Roman beats Jey. Roman then beats Jimmy? I dunno, it seems like they're set on extending this to Mania again and once more having Cody be the guy to face him in the main event, but how does that fit? It seems like they want to set up Solo to be their next guy, but how long will that take? And what exactly do you do with the Usos? They're super hot right now, but seems like they're now gonna lose in singles matches and not really do anything outside of fight Roman and Solo.

I saw a post on twitter that said booking wrestlers is harder than you think and like. It actually isn’t. In fact it’s really easy. Just make a guy win a bunch and have cool matches and have him say cool things.

I mean a good sign that WWE hasn't really changed and won't change is the current state of Sami. Guy who was the big reason business turned around and how Roman finally got over as a main event act and his reward if the company very much speed running him back to being another guy after the mania win. They probably don't even and will never admit to Sami being the key to the angle

They probably don't even and will never admit to Sami being the key to the angle Legit his stuff with bloodline was the most fun I had with a wwe angle in years. It reminded me of foley wanting to be in the corporation, and it just ends with him getting the tag titles which wwe famously doesn’t give any kind of poo poo about, and they’re back to just being mid card comedy guys.

It honestly stings that they were able to trick me into watching again with how genuinely hot the Sami stuff was and the Cody stuff was and then Night 2 of Wrestlemania happened and it was just. Gone. At least it's one of the several catalysts to me regularly watching wrestling as a whole again, though, so that's nice. Thanks, 'E. And now it's really super funny so that's also cool. Sami deserved so much he'll never get

Sami could have it all if he went to AEW. But he loves fat paychecks more, so enjoy being shunted right back down the card! He's getting paid and that's all that matters

I do think a lot of the current animosity toward WWE (and let’s be clear, I mean from this forum because you don’t see it anywhere else anymore) comes from the diehard AEW fans who’ve hitched their wagons to what they now have to accept is clearly a failing product. Be they fans of CM Junk or the Cruiserweight Cowboy, both sides of the AEW Civil War have to contend with the fact that WWE is the only real Winter Soldier in town. I wonder if it’ll be different once AEW stops in a few years and fans who’ve returned to wrestling sample RAW or SD and think to themselves “this Roman Reigns as champ storyline isn’t actually that bad”. Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter.

I never saw TNA Asylum but of all the things they did that were probably pretty off base, I can't imagine saying that 2010s era WWE was poo poo is one of them. Also, uh. If we wanna talk about monsters as they relate to posting about WWE. I dunno. I know who I would start with and it wouldn't be this thread.
