I'm kinda bored of wrestling right now, but I've been watching a ton of old Stampede Wrestling episodes

Yeah, I am bored with it too. I was at the point where I was only watching while working anyway. I can't think of the last time I watched even a PPV live, maybe the Rumble?

I haven't watched a single thing in over a month. I've seen some titles have changed hands and whatnot, but even Cena's farewell has lost me. The product is stale, and boring.

I also think part of it for me is that it is super obvious that WWE cares about $$$ only and not much else.

WWE is in a weird spot that I can't remember them being in - they don't really have an intriguing top heel. Usually it's hard to have believeable faces, but WWE has the opposite problem right now.

Jey, Punk, Cody, LA Knight, Roman, Cena are all top faces.

Bron and Bronson are more likeable heels than anything.

Even Drew is hard to really hate since he does always get screwed over in title matches.

Reigns turning face, Gunther losing momentum and not being on TV since Summerslam, and Rollins faceplanting as a heel (and always being hurt) really has hurt the product.

They needed to pull some triggers on turning somebody heel. I feel LA Knight could actually make a pretty good heel too and lost in the shuffle as a face right now.

CM Punk should become the top Heel. It's always been his best spot. He's only a good face when he is working from underneath

He'd have the same problem Seth had right now. People won't boo him.

Jey is the one I think you could turn from a fan reaction perspective...but he's selling way too much merch to kids

LA Knight has the mic skills and look to be a top heel I think.

Gunther is probably the guy you could put with Heyman and make into more of a monster heel.

Blood and Guts was like a mid week PPV. Really great from top to bottom and the endings of both matches were absolute cinema. Fun show and a nice push for a few that could use it.

Man, that was a great RAW right up until the end. The two Kaijus of the WWE rolled out and made the two world champions look like U. s and Intercontinental champions.

Hell of a way for Dupri to win the IC title from Becky Lynch.

The women's wargames amp up was better than the men's .

Best raw is a while for sure

Survivor Series groups are pretty good.

Lesnar, Drew, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Logan Paul

Vs

Reigns, Cody, Punk, Uso's

Too bad Cena was part of this and replace Jimmy Uso, that would have been loaded then

I am still laughing at that. It's right up there with the Gif of Lenny Kravit's pants ripping and his dong flopping out

Can somebody explain to me WTF is going on with the mens titles in AEW.

TNT, National, Continental, International, and World Title.

And they at one point unified the International and Continental Titles, but psych they actually didn't because now they are separate belts again.

And you win the Continental title by winning the continental classic...but you also still defend it outside of that tournament.

It all seems so overly convoluted for a company with 3 hours of TV a week really

No one knows. I'm just glad they didn't have Mercedes go over Statlander.

Some one told Tony that lots of titles=lots of excitement. but it really doesn't belts become participation medals and winning a belt loses meetings. I'm of the mind that you have very few belts, a world championship. A mid level belt like the intercontinental, a womans title, a couple of tag titles and maybe a cruiser weight title and that's it.


I mean I'm kind of over Mone winning 8 million titles, its a bit silly, next weekend she'll be fighting for the Canadians Tire woman's championship against some shelf stocker from Winnipeg.


With Tony and booking it seems like he always goes into exaggeration mode. 8 million belts 4 million factions and on and on. Even the WWE right now is just bad with some of their storylines.


We're back into a period of decline in wrestling. AEW ratings dropped below 500 k for dynamite, I know the WWE Raw and Smackdown viewership is down since they joined netflix. Wrestling needs to find a reinvention point again.


Oh and Bret finally went insane sadly.

the Survivor series PPV was a mixed bag. I loved the Cena v Dirty Dom Match. It was good fun. That said, the women's matches were Horrible! and after watching so many multiperson matches and spots, there was very little to look forward to for the mens Survivor series match. They really have to stop doings mens + womens special stipulations. it just kills it, one or the other please.

Cena vs Dom was good.


The rest of the show was just... Meh. I am sort of over War Games. I keep thinking back to how good the NXT editions were and how most of the main roster versions have been decent to garbage and it was pointed out that NXT wargames matches get weeks to months to prep for them while Main Roster editions get the same amount of time as any other PPV match. It shows.

Also you have a bunch of guys looking for their big break in NXT - they are going to be more willing to do the big spots.

With all the stars in that match you weren't going to get huge spots, especially after last year with Bronson destroying both his legs.

Keep it as a special match for a big blow off when it makes sense. But mix in a traditional survivor series match every once in a while too.

The just shouldn't have forced the main eventers into the match and done Wyatts vs MFT's which would have made more sense story wise and also would have had more guys willing to do the crazy spots in that type of match.
