You haven't missed much. WWE since WM has been nearly completely shit.

I'd cancel the network in a heartbeat but the catch 22 is that WWE's best product with the most stacked talent, NXT, is only on the Network. It's the only place to see talent before Vince ruins it.
I am enjoying every second of Velveteen Dream before he gets called up to the main roster and turns into a jobber. But on NXT he looks like a superstar in the making. But you just know Vince will ruin it. Also EC3, Ricochet, and War Machine all coming in |

Also, I was seeing that ROH may enter the streaming service game. If they included the entire back catalog of shows, that would be a great service as well. |

That is a hardcore workrate promotion and while I like that, lots of American fans don;t. |

I think a large number of people would be at least partially converted if they watched one Wrestle Kingdom show. I am obviously biased but it's just good stuff. |

Part of the issue with foreigners in WWE is they usually book them like crap. If you let Nakamura do what he did in Japan, I am sure he would be fine. He is a guy that beat the shit out of people. |

As ****ing dumb as Vince Russo is there are a lot of fans that completely agree with his bullshit that american fans don't like foreign wrestlers and the wwe signing bad body guys hurts too. I was at smackdown last week tons of people around me kept making comments about how they looked like regular guys and that stupid shit. Dude made fun of owens and zayn all day for looking like they just got off their 9-5 and these guys would never make it when wrestling was good. Then he ripped on Styles for being little and looking like a DJ. lots of fans believe this shit. |

Bulldog didn't have a body to speak of, and his work rate was so-so...YET he could get a crowd to hate him quicker than anybody I've ever seen (before or since). Yet, because of Bulldog's ability to work a crowd, he held the Central States NWA Title 19 times -- which is still the record. Harley Race didn't have a great body either, but he was gold on the mic and a tremendous worker. Guys like them would be hated by today's fans. EDIT: fact of the matter is, guys like Owens, Zayn, Styles, Zayn, are Bray Wyatt actually more in the mold of old-school wrestlers than most on the roster these days. |
