poo poo, they'll probably make it his new "thing". He won't actually hit another woman, but everyone will have to act like they're afraid he's going to.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I think that's damning with faint praise Rov. The last good WWE main roster show was... man I think the Rumble? And before that... man, I don't even know before that, it has been a LONG run of trash. This really wasn't that GOOD, just... not poo poo.

Or just judging WWE by their own standards.

I enjoyed Fight for the Fallen more than this, but that's utterly irrelevant, it's a purely subjective thing and is absolutely zero basis for any kind of argument.

Slammiversary a week ago. The G1 is ongoing. Evolve last night.

No one is impressed or cares when the biggest company with the best roster in the world puts on a 5/10 show after putting on a bunch of 3/10 shows.

I'll say this, if the shows ARE going to change in any significant way this week under their new management, this was a better note to start on than anyone could have expected. But having a good PPV doesn't fix the systemic problems that have made every PPV since the Rumble suck. Declining companies have had surprise good PPVs before and not seen any turnaround.

Next month is the real test, because if Summerslam is a trash fire and All Out knocks it out of the park things can get real bad real quick.

Yes it did. It was 28 hours long and blew rear end for huge portions of it, but there were some legitimately good matches in there. Kofi/Bryan best of all.

Sometimes they leave NXT, suck on the main roster, leave the company entirely, and are magically ridiculously great again

Yep. That's what I was getting at.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm tired of grading WWE shows on a curve. They should be better. Don't say "Best show in a while!" when it's still worse than the competition. Worse than IMPACT! That's worthless and no one learns.
