    Am I Just Burned Out?

    I have watched Russo in shoot interviews and thats why I think he is a tool. Shawn Michaels for example was telling Vince to go more adult themed. Vince also torpedoed Russos more silly ideas. Without Vince to restrain him we can see what Russo did in WCW and later TNA. WCW was dying but you...

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Vince Russo is over rated, McMann kept a bit of his stupidity in check and there were others behind the scene like Patterson, Michaels etc who had ideas about the AE. Hell Cornette came up with Kane. As I said the only thing Russo did right was storylines for the lower and mid card, McMann was...

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    I started in 1998 a few months back and are up to 1998. They can't go back to the sex and violence but there are elements of the E they can use. What happened? Patterson retired, Vince got old, lighting for the 1st and only time struck twice (Austin+Rock at same time), and VInce Russo (a pox on...

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Its not to much sport just shit booking. The actual good WWE has more sport (NXT, UK special).

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Dave Melzer has recently said the average age of a WWE fan is around 49 or 50. Put simply the hard core have been watching since Hogan. Hell I am 38 and 1st watched in 1988, I did not watch any wrestling from 1999-2016 though although I followed some of the big stories via the media (Eddie...

    Well their television rights are up in 2 years or so and on current rating they won't have a great bargaining position. THe brand split was done to boost ratings because of complaints from whatever network they are on. Its possible they lose TV rights on the current track.

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Well rating are down becau WWE is shit, the other companies are more sports orientated than sports entertainment. As I said if you like that older WWF/E and WCW are your best bets.

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Vince has no real competition is the problem. Listening to shoot interviews apparently he does not like NXT and Dunn undermines the NXT call ups. Hell Sasha banks has been delegated to trying to save the 205 turkey. Watch 205 live and then the 1st hour of WCW Nitro from 20 yearsa ago and spot...

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Its not PG, its shit story lines and booking. I am watching the attitude era now (up to WM 16) and most of it could be done on PG. I have also watched some older WWF and WCW matches recently going back to the 80's and its all PG and its good wrestling. NXT, the Cruiserweight Classic and the UK...

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    I have watched a couple of their matches, they were decent enough but I keep hearing about Okada/Omega in Japan. I'm not asking if you like WCPW just is the wrestling/storylines any good. I would watch almost any of them for free to try them out and then would be willing to subscribe or pay...

    WCPW any good? They are doing a free week.

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Might actually be worse. New Generation still had Owen/Bret Hart, Razor Ramone, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and there were some really good events like Wrestlemania X.

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    NXT is still good, old RAW is goods, hell if you have not tried it I have watched a couple of WCW nitros from 1997 and did not hate it. I'll watch something new if there is a free trial or whatever.

    Am I Just Burned Out?

    Yeah RAW is fairly bad and SD is going to shit. I watch NXT and I am getting tempted by New Japan. Ratings are in the shitter as well. Even on the network RAW is still 2 hours 20 mins. I have watched some older PPVs with Wrestlemania just over 3 hours, PG era WWE matches and even some old...
