>Oh my god everyone hates WWE now

You've been here for ages, you should know nothing has changed lmao. We have always shat on WWE. The build to ER is hit or miss, but I made a post in there saying I'm actually pumped for ER and people seemed to agree with me. I'm not going to go around and say everyone loves WWE now though am I? Chill dude. I just don't think there is this huge demise that you seem to, because WWE isn't even in the worst place it has been in recent history. The future is bright.

Agree to disagree. I see what I see, you can perceive things that you see how you want to perceive them. And stop telling me to chill lmfao. I can't make an observational thread without it meaning I'm not chill?

I swear sometimes your posts read like a mark typed them up, but we all know better. You really think there is a snowball's chance in hell that Cena is losing? come on man. HHH/Brock might put me to sleep, I barely cared about that feud when it started 8 months ago. Triple threat will be the one thing I'm highly anticipating, though I'm unsure why considering the shit build and the shit booking DZ constantly receives. I'm sure he will win only after Big E, AJ, Zeb, Ricardo, The Abominable Snowman, Bigfoot and the ghost of Chris Benoit all get involved first.

Hell No/Shield will be fine. Nothing to get my balls tingling. Henry/Sheamus will be the most fun match of the night IMO, which says a TON about this card. Then you said Orton/Show wouldn't be that bad.

You are really reaching to try and stay optimistic

If not for Cena's injury, then no, I wouldn't even ponder the possibility he could lose the title. As it is now, I'd still easily side with him retaining but there's a slight chance at least that if he is forced into time off, he could drop it to Ryback. Knowing there's a small chance there makes it a little more exciting.

HHH/Brock put me to sleep leading up to Wrestlemania but that's because I didn't want to see happen again on the grand stage. If the Summerslam rematch had happened on a lesser PPV, I wouldn't have been bothered and that's why I'm not minding it for this PPV. Perhaps knowing the feud is almost over and knowing Lesnar has a 99.9% chance of walking out the dominant one in the feud is what has me mostly excited about the match.

The rest is all pretty good or still decent at worst. Looking at it as just a three hour PPV card and judging whether it'll be boring or not, I see nothing wrong with it.

well I'm glad you can buy into the Cena's hurt crap. The rest of us have fallen for that one 200 times before, and they aren't getting me this time. And honestly w/ Lesnar/HHH does it even matter who wins at this point? I think we are all coming out losers from that feud.

I've actually questioned the severity of his injury before. But even if it is legitimate enough to keep him out, I'm fairly certain he'll forfeit the title and I had an idea myself (which others liked) about doing a big tournament for it. We haven't had one of those in a while and who doesn't love tournaments? If the King Of The Ring was still its own PPV (as it should be), it would be the perfect setting for this going into June.

As for Lesnar/HHH, I see most are just ready for this feud to be done and I'm kinda in the same group but being that the end of it is coming up in just one week at this point, I don't see a point in complaining about it any longer. Back when Lesnar F-5ed Vince and you knew the next 6-7 weeks going into WM were gonna be about HHH coming back for revenge, I moaned perhaps louder than most but the end is nigh.

I think many, myself included, really thought it would be over at Mania. I know I am still suffering from post concussion syndrome following the ferocious face palm I laid on myself when Heyman was on the post-Mania Raw talking about how it was only 1-1 and they had to wrestle again.

Yeah, this feud didn't seem like one that would mention the whole 1-1 thing. Rock/Cena I could understand, but I figured once HHH got his revenge, it would be over. My preferred way of booking the Wrestlemania encounter would have been to have Lesnar go over and shock people. They wanted HHH to get his revenge in some way and the way he could have been standing tall at the end is that Lesnar can barely walk on his own after the match (he's on spaghetti legs, similar to Taker at WM27) and then HHH can cut a promo the next night about how he lost the battle but won the war by still making Lesnar look weaker than he's ever looked.

This would mean removing the silly retirement stip, of course.

We haven't made virtually any threads about it unless it's "omg when is Punk coming back", or "backstage newz", or an interview, or "is Ambrose injured"? We have not made a single thread about something actually going on on the show. What's there to talk about?

Speaks volumes. Don't know whether or not I'll watch, as with any "eww I h8 d WWE I'm n't wtchn agn" case when it's time to put up or shut up, you're always tempted to shut up and do the thing you've been doing every Monday night for countless years.

Us wrestling fans are really, really odd.

I'm glad you are seeing this and I am not crazy. It's like the show happens but nothing goes on. We are watching glorified house shows with nothing interesting taking place, ever.

Glorified house shows? Save that. That's a perfect description.

I'm actually kinda relieved other people are feeling the same way. I thought I was just losing interest in wrestling as a whole, as even TNA wasn't really interesting me that much (until last Thursday). I thought about it, and there's actually a lot of things that on paper I should be enjoying. The Shield tearing apart everyone as well as Ambrose getting a few singles matches vs awesome guys, Ziggler's holding the WHC, a new guy challenging Cena for the title, Lesnar appearing at two PPVs in a row and Cesaro seemingly getting something of a push. But somehow, WWE have managed to make half these things boring as fuck. Besides the Ambrose matches mentioned above, the ONLY thing interesting me just now is Henry being generally awesome. Everything good that they have is being outweighed by the negatives.

A perfect example was last week with Heyman and Brock's awesome backstage segment, ripping up HHH's office, then he comes out to the ring and completely no sells it? Ziggler's reign is just riddled with bad booking, am I right in saying Ricardo has picked up more wins than Ziggler since he won the WHC? Cesaro will probably end up stuck with the Miz, Henry buried by Sheamus and Cena obviously overcoming the odds against Ryback. Despite all the good opportunities they have atm, the only one they're booking remotely well is The Shield - and I get the horrible feeling it's only a matter of time before they go tits up at the hands of Cena as well.

Theres plenty of bad at the min but it could be worse WWE could be making a fake reality tv show like The Only Way Is Essex.


Oh wait lols.


Nah serious post now its poor at times but I would still rather watch WWE each week than American Idol, TV chef programmes, house makeover programs, and some of the garbage produced nowadays.
