WWE may want to stop dicking around and start making the guys on the current roster look like something other than useless assholes.
That's the problem. They don't want anyone to be bigger than the company itself, so nobody can get over as a megastar and you're left relying on guys that got over before that unofficial mandate was put in place because they're the only ones that can draw.

You can sing "Real Estate Steve" to the tune of "Man Called Sting."
He does this
He does that
He'll flip your old house
Quick as a cat
Real Estate Steeeeeeeeve!
REAL Estate Steve!

It is logistically dumb but also: why the fuck is a heel doing flashy shit? Heels shouldn't be doing flippy do's and triple topes. Those things pop the crowd, which is not what a heel is supposed to do. Especially a guy working an "old school heel" gimmick like Lethal.
"I'm a heel, my finish is a roll up."

I only ffwd through Raw to watch one or two matches with guys I like. I get recaps of the rest through podcasts. This week, I deleted it from the DVR sight unseen.
WWE has become Wal Mart or McDonald's. Everything is homogenized and consistently dull, week in and week out. There's zero excitement, no spontaneity and no reason at all to believe next week's bland, 3-hour snoozefest will be any different than last week's. They aren't a wrestling company anymore; they are a content generation service who puts out an inoffensive 5 hours per week for their cable partners per their contracts. Vince has finally succeeded in making wrestling mainstream (business-wise, anyway),as now it conducts itself like every other dull American product geared toward attracting the largest audience, to hell with excitement and creativity. Congrats.

I really hate like 97% of all finishers in WWE. Like, I think most would benefit from using a different finish.
There isn't a single finisher in the entire promotion that makes me feel like it matters(OK, maybe the Pop-Up Powerbomb). I never need to see another spear, downward spiral variation, or a DDT that looks less painful than a regular old DDT. Is there a reason Ryback's Samoan drop is more devastating than all of the other Samoan drops we see all over Raw? Seriously, why is his Samoan drop better than the ones used by the Usos', Rusev's, or Roman Reign's Samoan Drops? Everything about their product is stale as three day old shit, I'm actually afraid to go into the "How Happy are You with the WWE Product," thread. I feel like I'd start typing and never stop.
Can we talk for a second about the setup for this move? Owens throws dudes into the ropes completely differently than the normal bullshit "grab the wrist and push their upper back" Irish Whip. He sort of grabs guys by their head/neck and shoves them. No idea why he decided to do it differently but the guy is so good at the little things. I'm seeing more people lately throw guys into the ropes Owens style and it's cool.
Will people lose their shit or completely lose their shit when he pulls out the package piledriver for a special occasion?

I've often thought the refs might be attention whores in love with TV facetime. The NFL's choice of punishment (no prime time game for you!) backs that up.

Seriously, the Lethal Injection is right up there with the Stratusphere and Del Rio's stomp as far as stupid shit goes.

This fucking show. Only the writers of this show could make "Alexandria gets overrun by a shit ton of zombies" talky and boring.
And the precious hour-and-a-half episode designed to babyface Morgan and make us understand his mentality? Didn't work. I was hoping someone would throw his unconscious ass out the door to the zombies at the end.

5th Wave looked decent until I realized it was another young adult pandering shitfest.
Get off my lawn.

Negan kills Darryl in the mid-season finale oooooooh shiiiiiiiiiit

truly a degree of nominative determinism not seen in the business since Little Guido
I used to go to a mechanic named Mike Tyre

Awesome to see so much love for the Carolina Caveman

Mildly surprised the wwf spite machine would put the walking dead commentator on a dvd and give him some royalties when they didnt have to, even if its a match featuring seth and cesaro.

The quasi cyber-punk thing wasn't even him. I don't think he ever had a "character" aside from "crazy little weirdo who will fuck you up."
I loved his stuff in PWG in 2012/2013, which was right before he went to NXT...great 3 match series with Drake Younger, awesome match against Steen, fun Iron Man match vs Cole, etc. Chalk it up to a dumb gimmick, an initial push halted by injury, just not catching on, and bad timing (too many indy superstars coming in). Anyway, I wonder if he'll be booked for All Star Weekend? NXT's loss is indy fans' gain.

So the bad call at the end of last night's game was because the ref forgot he was reffing an NFL game instead of a college one
Amazing. Billion dollar industry is overseen by part timers, no recourse when they fuck up with games on the line. It won't change because we'll never stop watching no matter how bad it gets.

I think you mean Ted Levine will be Captain Stottlemeyer forever.
There is no human who looks more completely the opposite depending on whether he has a mustache or not.
Ted Levine w/ Mustache = t.v. actor who plays bumbling middle-aged bearueacrat who rolls his eyes a lot
Ted Levine w/o Mustache = movie actor who plays troubled villains or experienced loners with poetic anxiety and a drinking problem
Counterpoint: Ted Levine on The Bridge. Some of column A, some of column B. No mustache but starring in a TV show playing a troubled but caring cop with a dark past.

Russo curses like a 12 year old who just discovered dirty words and thinks it makes him sound cool.

Dang it if they didn't do their dumb walker parade and left them in the quarry, they could've drove the gas truck in and shot it with the rocket launcher and killed all the walkers in one shot.
Dumb.
Not sure if you're serious but just to be nitpicky:
They would have never found the gas truck or rocket launcher without the whole quarry plan. Both were like 20 miles away in the other direction and they would have only driven that far because of the quarry deal.

If the fans are itching to boo a guy, just make him a heel already. And vice versa.
It's amazing how much Vince McMahon has changed. It used to be that his homoerotic pet projects would be abandoned posthaste if they didn't draw or if the fans didn't buy them (Diesel, Luger). Not so much anymore. I don't know if it's a matter of getting old and feeling like he needs to exert control over his product to prove the business hasn't passed him by or what, but he's just gotten stubborn about wanting his way despite what people want to see. Vince has such a hardon for making this Renegade-era Lorenzo Lamas looking motherfucker world champ that he's blind to reality. GODDAMMIT IT MEN WANT TO BE HIM AND
I WANT TO FUCK HIMLADIES WANT TO FUCK HIM. -
How do all these indy dudes like the Young Bucks perform crazy moves every night and never injure themselves? Guys who work a more grounded style tear something and are out for a year.
They probably work through some pretty fucked up injuries and are incredibly broken down. Daniel Bryan is somewhat an example of how the indy style really wears you down.
LOL please school us on this "indy style" and explain how Danielson and the Bucks' styles are similar. Never seen the Bucks run headfirst into an opponent's head and never saw Danielson do a handspring backrake.
