Hahaha, listening to Dave go on about the Slammys is great, particularly the funniest moment one. "That's it? That's all they've got this year? Only two of those were any good!"

Bryan Alvarez has to get Destination America and NJPW World now, so there were positives to last night's Raw.

Seriously, this morning's WO was a blast to listen to, which reminded me how miserable I really must be. I just can't watch sports entertainment, haven't for years except for random eps here and there, and I wish I could stop keeping tabs on it. I also wish I could come up with that word Meltzer needed, the incompetent/horrible combo. Incorrible is too close to incorrigable. This mind-numbing poo poo is much worse than a word often used to describe precocious children.

I'll turn on Raw and shut it off within 5 minutes about 95% of the time. If there really is anything worth seeing I can just go on YouTube. NXT was pretty cool, but Sportsnet stopped showing it after the Network launched in

My enthusiasm sort of peaks up when something good is happening. But there's too much crap now, too much blatant non-sensical booking, too much pushing of people who don't deserve it and way too much talking. I still can't believe they started off Survivor Series with a 20 minute talk.

I'll always be into it from Rumble to Mania but goddamn they make it so loving hard to care. The problem is it's hard to step away in full because even the slightest bit of competency could take the company from zero to great simply because of the absolute wealth of talent they have.

This mind-numbing poo poo is much worse than a word often used to describe precocious children. 16 years ago during the monday night war my family moved out of our house, I told my mom that I didn't care what our new house looked like so long as the rent was low enough that we could still afford cable so I could watch RAW and Nitro. At the time I thought there would never be a time when I didn't want to watch prowrestling. 16 years later, I watch more UFC than I do Prowrestling in general and although I listen to the Observer podcast all the time, I have less interest in the product than I think I had even when I was a kid during the days of Hogan/Warrior. Seriously, even if you asked me where to debut Ric Flair's daughter in 1998 I was still smart enough to know that you'd do it in Charlotte, with advertisement and she'd win the loving match. Them putting over Natalya instead, was so unbelievably laughable. Natalya who is the best female wrestler on the roster that they never push because she's not pretty enough to be the face of the division and is currently in an angle with her husband, not even another female. Jesus Christ, what a bunch of morons. When Dave started with "You know what the worst thing on this show was?" I never would have it to have been something so dumb and obvious.

Yeah UFC are better at booking and (mostly) better at getting people over. Only problem is they are overexposed and run too many shows. But in general, there is nothing like a great UFC main event with a great angle and great promotion.

I can suffer through PPVs because at least the majority of the three hours is actual matches...Sort of.

Dave was on fine form today. "Maybe Vince has a pool on his plane, is that possible?" "No. It's not possible. Because the plane wouldn't fly.  "

But in general, there is nothing like a great UFC main event with a great angle and great promotion. It's actually kind of funny that because the UFC is so overexposed is why I watch it. Almost every month I end up pulling an all nighter which leads to me rolling my schedule over, which means by happenstance I'm up on a Sunday morning which is when UFC PPVs air in Taiwan. Monday morning would be when WWE shows air but I have class at that time so I miss those. So because UFC decides to air PPVs seemingly every weekend, I'm always able to see one on those rollover Sunday mornings. In general though, I rarely go out of my way to watch UFC events as well. I think actually the Ronda fights are the only UFCs I'll actively go out of my way to watch.

I mentioned this in one of the other threads and had someone flabbergasted that I don't tune in to watch amazing UFC fights, that Ronda is drawing me in. I guess coming from pro wrestling, I just innately understand that "best worker does not equal best draw"

Edit: Beaten to Tyson, but people can and do pay money to watch an unstoppable force because watching greatness is enjoyable.
