It is kinda fun to think about how much louder the crowd was for Bad Bunny's San Juan Street Fight entrance than anything else in the last 5 years, and how much louder Taylor's entrance would be

The only thing mildly annoying ever in the wwe thread to me is

*massive post with detailed information about why the shows are bad and also if you watch them you’re a bad person*

followed by “but I don’t and have never watched WWE”
Like alright, I was worried because of how detailed you were you were a CHUDmoney Fed shill but thank you for confirming you don’t watch, and it’s just the WWE network 24/7 stream in your head, up next Wrestlemania 9.

You don't have to watch WWE to know it's bad

You just have to watch the clips and read what happened

I mean, what does it matter if the details are correct? WWE storytelling isn't rocket science, many of us have years of viewing experience and it gets verified time and again that it's just the same poo poo over and over again. Sorry that people don't try to capture the full experience of Malibu Stacy's new hat before making GBS threads on it.

I haven't watched WWE in years, I just get my info from dirtsheet recaps and this fine subforum, which allows me to make an educated guess that "WWE sucks" without having to watch a single minute of it

All I can imagine is Jon Moxley with a vacuum but instead of a spinning brush on the bottom it's a spinning dowel wrapped in barbed wire and he's holding it up to, say, Nick Gage's face.

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



Mania Night 1, despite the stretching and constant ads, was genuinely really good. Then they hit me with Mania Night 2 and reminded me that they will never truly improve no matter how easy it would be to do so.

The weekly shows stayed bad but the Rumble-EC-Mania Night 1 cycle was a pretty good PPV stretch. I'm just not invested anymore though, not when there's other wrestling more my current tastes out there.

I think they're about at the level of AEW at the moment where the weekly TV shows are whatever but the PPVs are really good.

I think the Men's Tag Team Showcase was night 2 featuring Angelo Dawkins absolutely trucking Braun 3 feet from an absolutely orgasmic Titus O'Neal, which was fun.

Plus Edge's entrance tron just being the words BROOD EDGE twenty feet high

E: the above Dawkins spot

That's where I am at for the past few years outside of the occasional PLE I randomly catch. Generally they do enough to make me somewhat interested in the ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA that I will watch Rumble though WM. The Rumble is always a good excuse to throw a watch party with friends, then do the numbers game with prizes.

I don't mean watching the actual weekly shows though. Raw is such a slog for the past decade. Smackdown can be alright at times since it is still two hours.


More importantly, I would like to see more making GBS threads on CM Punk in this thread (and forum in general).

No and I am confident that there have been good matches in WWE. Its just this thing now where i hate the presentation and I've gotten out of the habit of watching and I have no way to watch and don't want to pay for. I doubt I'll ever get back in the habit again.

Oh wait I just remembered the last stuff I thought was good in WWE - Sami interacting with the Uso Dynasty or whatever it's called. That stuff was amazing in clip format. I liked it enough that someone bought me a saudi av.

The presentation is the hardest hurdle for me too. I just don’t enjoy the way it looks. Wwe matches are laid out in a way I don’t enjoy either. Especially now with HHH running things. Everyone goes out there and has HHH matches, and I don’t particularly like his matches that much to begin with.

This is where I am with WWE. I've seen a couple of recent TV shows and PLEs, and while the product overall is less awful than it used to be, it's just not my cup of tea. It's also hard to overlook decades of WWE being a cartoonishly evil company just because Good Cop HHH is running it now.
