People critique movies and TV shows all the time.

And yes, pro wrestling is ****ing dumb and it's a ****ing dumb hobby to follow. But it's my ****ing dumb hobby to follow and I'll critique it all I like. Although I only follow the big events these days. :harumph:

King_Chief_Fan: never saw a movie he didn't like!

fair enough...to each his own.

Always remember to think of wrestling as a TV series and NOT a sporting event. It's a fantasy show with athletic actors.

The only way they can save the show now is if Rollins cashes in. He proved to me last night that he is ready for the title. Reigns has only competed in 1 singles pay per view event but yet he wins the Rumble. Vince is so out of touch.

NJPW has a streaming service for about $8 a month. It only works in browsers at the moment but they are working on apps. Everything is in Japanese but the in-ring product is a billion times better. Wrestle Kingdom 9 was incredible. Like 6 4-star or better matches on the card.

Lucha Underground is a giant spot fest and I love it. Also the camera editing is different and is a fresh take on wrestling.

Look at what is on the Tron after Bryan's elimination...

Like I said, this entire Rumble was one big **** you troll from Vince.

Haven't watched in years. Had to look up who Bryan was.
Is there a drought for real superstars, or what?

I haven't watched a second of wrestling since football season started. Roman Reigns was not a good wrestler when I stopped, I'm guessing people are already tired of his generic, lack of charisma style? He has zero mic skills, and no honest charisma, and isn't a good wrestler. yet he's supposed to suddenly be the face of the company?

What have I missed, in summary?

When I last watched in early August it was a mess. It's like WWE forgot how to make a character, and sell him to the fans.

The stuff they did with the dude with dark hair, where he went around being a different person every week was horrible. I felt bad for the guy.

Raw, in the arena, was cancelled due to the storm. They're running a 3 hour studio show. I may tune in just for the train wreck of it.

Does this mean their "longest running weekly tv show" streak is over or does the studio show count towards that

I got the impression it'll still be a live show.

This is usually one of their higher rated shows of the year, even after horrendous rumble matches.

Oh wow. I may have to watch for the first time in over a year myself.
