Inspired by a comment I saw on Twitter today, I looked up the card for the very last edition of WCW Thunder, broadcast on March 21 2001, a show coming out when WCW was immediately pre-cancellation:
Some of the matches are kind of duff, but doesn't this look like a way more exciting card than anything WWF has put on Raw or Smackdown this year?

Honestly not really (on paper anyway). The Smackdown roster has guys like Roman, Nakamura, Sami Zayn, Owens, Daniel Bryan (until a couple weeks ago), etc wrestling fairly regularly on it. The booking and creative is dogshit, but that'd probably be the case on Thunder too.

Yeah if you look at a Smackdown card out of context in 20 years time maybe but Big E vs. Apollo sounds way less exciting when it's the 25th week in a row you've seen it

But just comparing cards on paper I still think current SD comes out ahead of late-stage Thunder. Probably Nitro too.

Yeah, I don't think you'll find many people who think the roster is the problem for WWE's woes right now. The problem lies with the creative side of things. Out of the three top men's champions right now, the only one who actually interests me even remotely is Roman Reigns. Bobby Lashley is just boring as hell, and Karrion Kross is the worst NXT champion of all time currently. The women aren't in a much better spot either. Bianca is the only champion right now who interests me there (and even she has problems in that no one is built up to be an even remotely credible threat to her). Rhea has just been a disaster as champion (generally awful matches, awful promos, really poor charisma), and Raquel is the worst overall NXT Women's Champion as of right now.

Some promising newcomers, wasted veterans and a bunch of people we are totally sick of seeing.

Dream put out a statement on Instagram about his releasequote:The allegations from April 20, 2020 have effectively derailed any upward momentum I had professionally. And has ultimately resulted in my termination with WWE. My name is Patrick Clark, not the Velveteen Dream. Velveteen Dream is a character that I have spent years developing and trying to bring to life. The success of the Dream character relied heavily on kayfabe, my ability to blur Patrick Clark from Tough Enough with this over the top personality.

somehow the most offensive part of that whole loving thing was confessing he didn't even know anything about who Prince was but decided to emulate him anyway lol

" I chalked it up to his innocence and sent a voice message in my Velveteen Dream voice, as to keep kayfabe, The full voice message has me asking Jacob about his height, weight, where he trained, and what school he attended."

lol that Velveteen doesn't even mention anything about what a piece of poo poo rageaholic he supposedly was at the performance center, doing poo poo like breaking car windows, which was likely what stopped HHH from saving him or trying to help him further.

oh gently caress off. with all of the evidence that was out there from 3 different accusers (including: his phone number, videos of conversations on instagram, and a never before leaked nude photo) if those kids actually faked all of this they should be working for the loving CIA

Yeah idk how “admitting to having a relationship with the minors who accused me” is a good look for him, and also he sidesteps explaining how explicit pictures of him made it online in the first place!!!

It’s also really really poo poo that Dream basically advertised in his apology a site where you can go to for creepshots and hacked nude photos of other talents.

While I think it is possible for an adult guy with experience to offer assistance and critique to younger guys (including minors, essentially working as a coach) working to build muscle and whatnot, that ain't what's fuckin happening here and it's not okay at all.

Just casually dropping that line about asking what school he goes to, because that's so important in helping him. Can't wait to see what he gets arrested for in 1-2 years after everyone stops caring about him in like half a week!

I cannot get over how bad Tamina's superfly splash looks, it looks like she falls off the top ropes onto the mat near her opponent then just kinda lays on them after obviously landing on her knees. Did it used to be better, has an injury or age made her not able to actually jump off the top rope, and if so why keep doing it? This is unrelated to anything else of interest going on in the IWC today.
