Ziggy Tzardust posted:Legit much worse. At least the bad stuff happened quickly in TNA. lol no. As much as TNA seems to have moved on, it needs to be pointed out that they either didn't follow up on poo poo at all or dragged poo poo out to an unimaginable degreee. And then didn't follow up on it.

I think having a fake crowd that loves whatever they do has really expedited things. Can't wait to see them trying this same poo poo on the road.

I'm half expecting them to just keep the fake screen crowd forever. Don't think Vince has it in him to give up any control whatsoever.

Winter was a hell of a lot cooler than whatever the gently caress Alexa does, you had the absolute all-time-peak of Steiner promos, you had the Bucks trying their best Mentioning those peak-TNA positives took me like 30 seconds, does wwe 2021 have any positives at all

those streamable clips look like WWE is legit in loving "TNA 5 years ago" territory. The Lily poo poo is godawful, the women's matches are terrible, Retribution and Lashley are still lame as gently caress

Also, TNA was only two hours of horrible wrestling a week. There's only so much horrible nonsense you can do with that much time. WWE is making five hours of garbage television every week, and that's too much to even hate watch.

Honestly the best way to watch WWE is to only watch UpUpDownDown. Uno, BREstart, Battle of the Brands, and whatever random tournament is happening that week. Especially Uno. It's an hour of pure unadulterated Dad Jokes from Cesaro a week.

That streamable clip of the water throw and Nia falling over was so, so bad that I had to close the window before it was finished. I know people who sit down and watch this poo poo after recording it the night before. There’s a big, bright world outside for fucks sake. It can’t be healthy.

They are not off the hook. Also, it's not like Raw and Smackdown are all that distinct and coherent. The Main Event locker room exists in the Raw fictional universe, it contains the guys who sit in catering during Raw.

Even before the pandemic, McMahon was looking to cancel house shows because he couldn't make a profit off of it. People are not going to shows.

No one is going to these shows to intentionally have a bad time. If you're paying $500 a seat for the front row of Raw, you're doing so to see your favorite WWE Superstars™ throw tomatoes at Miz because that's the type of content you enjoy.

I mean if you don't micromanage to gently caress writing wrestling should be easy. If you can't think of something to fill five minutes just extend a match or tell a guy you trust to cut a promo . Not rocket science.
