    Vince was a great announcer back in the 70s and 80s. And even in the 90s he was still better than anyone today.

     

    The announcing and overall production is the one thing about WWE that has inarguably regressed the most in the last 20 years. It's utterly, utterly awful and would make the shows very difficult to watch even if the wrestling was good.

    Not surprisingly, Grimsby and Southend are complaining about the mechanics of things this year, since the Natiomal League doesn't have relegation this season. 

    I can't see what their argument is. The National League doesn't have relegation because the leagues below that abandoned their seasons fairly early on. League Two and the National League are both playing full seasons so there's no reason not to have teams go up and down.

    Dover deserve to be relegated from the National League but they'll just get a large points deduction next season instead which will probably doom them to relegation.

    Also, Fulham are soon to  be no longer "All Elite". They're 2-0 down to Burnley at half-time in a game where a loss relegates them.

    UEFA isn't kicking anyone out of this comp.  They need to make good on those TV obligations first or else they lose their own money.  That ain't happening.

    They could allow some of the beaten quarter finalists to take the places of the banned clubs.

    2021 Post-Mania WWE Purge

    in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

    I don't have a problem with WWE cutting guys, they should cut a lot more, and more often. The roster is so stagnant it's unbelievable. Every WrestleMania for the last 15 years is largely indistinguishable from the last, they just shuffle the same guys around. If you look at the roster changes between WM1 and WM5, and any 5 years for any of the first 20 years of the expansion era, not just the roster was greatly different, but the whole feel of the promotion was completely different, night and day. It would be to everyones benefit if they cut 25% of the roster every year and anyone that had been there for more than 7 years got automatically cut, with the proviso that they can be re-hired after spending 2 years elsewhere.

    APRIL 2021 WRESTLING IMAGERY

    So one of two things is at play. One, they're creatively bankrupt and desperately trying to get every drop of juice from the Wrestlemania fruit. Two, they assume people who aren't fans are so goddamn stupid that "Wrestlemania" is a synonym for "pro wrestling" in their heads. You know, like how UFC is up in the hundreds with their card titles. Is WWE's concept of their fans where they imagine a group of people sitting around in October asking each other "You wanna watch Wrestlemania tonight?" 

    They might as well just rename all PPV events to "WrestleMania" now and just keep using the numbering, so WrestleMania 38 next month, WrestleMania 39 the month after etc. Before long they'll get to WM50 and they can make a big deal of it.

    I can't see why they wouldn't let people talk as long as they wanted if there's no crowd and it's not being shown live. But those factors may mean people don't feel the need to talk for that long. I can't see the point in them doing it tbh, they'd have been better off moving the HOF to SummerSlam weekend for this year only.
