Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Out of the ring I think the show is worse than TNA. Whereas TNA did have some good and great stuff in the ring most of it was way worse than most of what is on Raw and Smackdown.

NXT is still good overall, but they have a few people who are blah as people or wrestlers or both like Kross. It's still overall a fun show, but isn't as consistent like it used to be.

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.

That is if you trust your wrestlers. WWE clearly does not (in fact they are frightened of them succeeding on their own)

I don't even like Nia Jax, and I cannot imagine I will ever particularly like Nia Jax, but giving her weeks upon weeks of "haha she fell down look at how stupid she is" as a gimmick, on the basis of someone completely unrelated having slipped once, is remarkably disrespectful to Nia Jax.

Out of the Ring? WWE is worse than WCW, ECW or TNA at their worst. I loved Decay and they were cheesy but still somehow more fun than Lexa or Fiend. Joker Sting was awful but Vince puts out poo poo just as bad... all the time. In Ring? WWE might have an insane amount of talent but you can't watch more than a few minutes without getting dizzy due to Dunn's mandatory billion camera cuts. WWE somehow seem cheesier than most indy feds but they keep grifting suckers to giving them millions so it all goes into their production budget. Their production only sucks because it's overseen by a senile 90 year old, his pet pervy beaver and some intern named Cleetus they found hanging out by the dumpster looking for vittles.

Can't even imagine how soul crushing working for them must be to have to constantly do this ridiculous crap and you hear that Vince echoing guffaw. I bet every employee hears it in their sleep.

You wish it was just five hours.

Raw is three hours.
Smackdown is two.
NXT is two.
NXT UK is...one?
205 Live is one.
Main Event is one.

Ten! Ten hours of lovely programming a week!

I went with five because only Smackdown and Raw have gone full TNA in quality. NXT's getting there but still has decent matches, and NXT UK and 205 Live are good for shows that no one ever sees afaik.

EDIT: Also, I guess Main Event is a different kind of bad so it doesn't count.

:sad music: "I had just been WWE champion a few months before, on top of the world. And then it happened. Looking back it was a crazy stunt to attempt and things went wrong. The tomato hit me right in my head. It shattered the tomato and my skull. Afterward I couldn't remember the ingredients of salad. I later learned the trainers backstage were terrified. When I got to the back they asked me if I remembered the entire skit and I said no. Also my tag partner got hit by a tomato in his penis. He did lose the penis. But we were making the WWE Universe happy so we were proud to do it."

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

You know who was TNA World Heavyweight Champion five years ago? Drew Galloway. You know who beat him for the title? Bobby Lashley.

Time is a flat circle.

The best part is he isn't wrong. As long as they keep the legends around and as active as they are the less the current generation can do to establish themselves and their characters as taking over. It's definitely also a function of everything having to be dripping in nostalgia these days and Vince always being after that easy money.

Eh, there are plenty of alternatives where you can make it big nowadays. And objectively speaking the less people there are dreaming of going to WWE specifically the better.

A lot of stars are kept relevant with youtube/tiktok/twitter/some new internet platform nowadays. That's why Vince banning all that stuff unless it's under the WWE umbrella is the dumbest thing, and AEW having all the vlogs in the world is a smart thing.
