100% agree. WWEs biggest problem is that Brock is the only wrestler treated as special. Everybody else is on TV all the time usually multiple times a show. How soon before Lynch and Rollins show up on NXT so Vince can feel good about beating some WWE reunion fed again? Nothing is can’t miss viewing. And it’s on all the time. Monday’s, Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s, Friday’s, online 24/7 365 etc etc... I agreed with you last time this topic came up and I still agree. One of the reasons a lot of the guys were stars back in the day was that they weren't overexposed. They weren't on TV every week and they'd leave the territory when they'd get stale. And that was with only an hour of TV a week, two if you were lucky. While the Monday Night Wars were good while they were going on, that's no way to run a wrestling organization long term, especially WITH NO COMPETITION! Now the WWE actually has some competitors coming up and they've already shot off most of their nukes for no reason. Almost everyone they have is stale and most of the top matches have already been done into the ground. |

For the most part, I really like today's wrestling. I watch more current wrestling than anything else. But the ending of tonight's WWE PPV really sucked. There should never be a DQ finish in a Hell in a Cell match period (even more surprised the WWE had this lame finish just days after AEW debuts on TV.) However the opening Hell in a Cell match between Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch I thought was great and the second match, the tornado tag, was also good enough to hold my undivided attention. But most of the rest of the show was nothing all that special (I watched the rest of it while playing out the latest results of my Indy fed and and then posting them in the Indy Fed Forum here on this board while the show played in the background) and the ending IMO was one of the worst endings to a PPV that I have seen in quite awhile. But again overall I do generally like most wrestling. I’m not Indy guy like I used to be at the height of CHIKARA and ROH, but even I can recognize that the most exciting wrestling is happening in the Indy scene right now. This community is imo a hidden gem, and your guys passion for Indy wrestling is unmatched anywhere else I see in the internet (LOW/historic wrestling fans too). You guys have ridiculous passion for wrestlers I’ve never heard of and I consider myself a pretty big wrestling fan. I actually depend on this board and community to keep me updated on the best of Indy wrestling because you guys do a better job than the dirt sheet writers. Sure seems like Indy wrestling is thriving even tho the big dogs are fighting over who has the more boring shows. |

Broc squashing Kofi isn’t as much my gripe as, that their is a real problem w finishers lately. The Fiend takes 11 or so Curb Stomps is OK. Seth kicks up from a bunch of F5’s & Kofi just takes 1 (& he beat the entire main event talent pool in one night on Smackdown to get a title shot). I definitely agree, Kofi should never have been World Champ & should be beaten fast, but I can’t forgot the ridiculous marathon he went through to “get there.”
You have to listen, but you can’t give the people what they want all the time. Kofi is a great example of that.

Their roster is so huge, they could actually work this angle, let their roster take time off from time to time and keep their cards fresh by shuffling talent in and out. |

I don't always agree with Cornette but he often says this and I agree with him. You can't miss anyone till they're gone for a while. You'll burn out on them after a while. it's why the part-timers are often over with the general audience..they're not there too much for people to get tired of them.

Seeing certain guys on every show throughout the week is brutal. Especially when they have talent sitting in the back doing nothing.

I'm pretty much in complete agreement with all of you guys.
Once again, I'm just going to say thankfully I have the FG board and my wrestling games.
And seriously? If they were trying to protect the Fiend character and keep him strong for later programs maybe they shouldn't have put him in a main event match (in a Cell) that wasn't even important (OR NEEDED) in any storyline capacity!
Just my two cents.
Whole thing was, IMHO, a really, really bad way to end what was supposed to be a historic week for pro wrestling.
Everyone involved should feel ashamed of themselves.

I wonder if Vince wants it to fail/be negative . His had his days (Vince) and doesn't want Shane or/and Steph/HHH to make it a success . Bigger or better than Vince days ?

The crazy part here is, that ridiculous notion you just suggested has to 100% be considered lol. That could totally be part of something going on with that weird, deteriorating man. |
