Once something is said enough, it gets easy for people to repeat offhand without any further examination. That's just the way discourse goes. It's like people talking about how great The Tribal Chief is even though the entire thing ran out of gas a few months ago.

This is why I must repeatedly bravely and valiantly say that it has actually sucked basically ever since he started feuding with his cousins.

Even the angle where he came back, which was actually cool, still had him talking at Bray for like loving five minutes, instead of just beating him up. Which was a precursor of things to come, I guess!

I think I liked that first match with Jey because WHICH ONE ARE YOU was a really good promo and it suckered me in. But that was to diminishing returns and Jimmy's addition to the act didn't make it any better. And WWE by company mandate doesn't have any faces, so Reigns hasn't actually had anything to do in a long time. I don't like his particular brand of main event heel, but I do think there were parts of it that could've worked for longer than it did.

I certainly don't mind Andrade in AEW but I still say that would've been cool.

NWA is a feeder system for the rest of the FORBIDDEN DOOR promotions. That's fine. That's valuable. Ricky Starks came from NWA. I like Ricky Starks. Do you like Ricky Starks? gently caress them for putting a belt on Tyrus, though.

My question is, RoH or MLW?

I say RoH, because they have Slex comma The Business.

MLW feels like a company that books a lot of really cool talent and then pays them poorly so nobody puts effort in and everything ends up being a disappointment. Like the Lucha Bros had a cup of tea there but it was outshined dramatically by what they did in PWG, Impact, and now AEW.

I honestly do not understand MLW. Even including their original run I doubt MLW has anything as good as Gresham vs Mike Bennett from last month, or Bandido vs Flamita from April.

Kai's lost was on Main Event so like 20 people saw that. She beat Sarray just this past week so at least it's a win

What they did to Ilja was just horrible. And :lol: at everything involving Kross. Which I assume Joe wins, Kross disappearing chasing the 24/7 title in 2 weeks and maybe Dunne takes it off Joe?

Remember how WWE went from having one of the best collective women's rosters in the world outside of Japan to dropping to one of the worst in about the length of AEW's lifespan? That was funny. Then they decided to stop pushing anyone that people wanted to see and now they're going back to the Divas era to spite HHH and so Vince and his goons can bust a nut again

WWE still has, collectively, one of the best women's rosters in the world. There are a lot of issues going on at the moment, but It's just that they're so loving brain dead they would rather split them into 4 brands so that they can run multiple house shows at once. Each show has 1 or 2 top faces/heels, and a bunch of goobers that will never hold the main title but have no mid card title to fight for.

They have 57 women employed between Raw, Smackdown, NXT, and UK. You could pluck the Top 20 names from all four brands and you'd have a loving phenomenal women's division.

I don’t think they can end the split even if they wanted to now, wasn’t a more enforced split part of the deal with fox? Although that doesn’t stop them from jamming the women’s tag team into every show for whatever reason.

WWE has proven time and time again that ending the brand split doesn't actually change anything, ever. It just ends up putting the same people at the top of the card on both shows and then pushing people in the middle off the show entirely and since the writing has gotten even worse since the last time that happened I'm sure we'll all get nostalgic over the Smackdown era that was like 40% RAW recaps, 40% commercials, and an occasional Daniel Bryan match with the IC title because he said he was going to stay on Smackdown for some reason

This is pretty much exactly what I imagine would happen. Both Raw and Smackdown would revolve entirely around Roman Reigns (kinda like the last time they ended a brand split) and they'd just end up having rematches from Raw on Smackdown that are already rematches from the previous week. They're already doing stuff like having Damien Priest and Morrison wrestle twice in the same night, without a split you'd just see them wrestle 3 to 4 times a week.

I mean... that's fine. WWE was pretty great when there was no brand split really and Smackdown was just the 50/50 booking of what happened on Raw.

Like I would be completely fine if the middle of the show dropped off entirely. It's pretty horrible and why the show is not watchable.

I'm just going to admit that I'm not WWE's target audience anymore so I don't care if they go back to the Super Cena era with a bunch of talent like Carlito and Chris Masters, but trained worse and with worse scripts as long as they release all the talent they've hoarded back into the wild.

But the writing has just been so bad lately that I can't see a brand split and a return to their pre CM Punk/Daniel Brian indie era to be good TV
