If I may be a little interspective for a minute...

This forum is a part of me. After saving it before and finding some amazing old friends and had a lot of awesome times on here.
And mostly... having a creative outlet to come home to. But it feels like over a year since I've made any kind of high-quality post.
I love it here, still, but I'm tired of just popping up to bury a product I don't watch. I'm... not really sure of what to do.
No point in making another "They don't know what they're doing" edgelord post.
And nobody to really react to, and the locker room feels too...intimidating? Too close to home?

Anyway, I wish they'd make a product I want to watch and stuff.
Ambrose officially has Broken Matt Hardy syndrome... can we call it that?
Him turning merely cost us the talking point of what could have been

The only time I seem to talk about it is in a complaining manner. I have no interest in it and if it wasn't for the forum, I wouldn't even read anything related to wrestling anymore.
I want to post in these sections and get activity going but it seems like most people here don't want to talk about wrestling either.

I think we all want that. Some people will continue to watch no matter what just like you would continue to watch a sports team every year even though you know they will lose every year and never make it to the big end game. I can understand that but wrestling has never been "up there" for me to watch even when I tired of seeing the same results. I just can't support something that has lost my interest in such a major way. When I first started watching it again in 2009, I was invested. I watched the shows every week. I was really enjoying it. As time went on, I started missing shows here and there. By the end of 2013 I really wasn't paying any bit of attention to wrestling at all. For nearly 2 years, I didn't bother. Then I joined back here and tried to get into it again. I somewhat did but it wasn't enough to invest 5+ hours a week into. I would watch my favorite PPVs every year still but I'm at a point where I don't even want to watch those either.

People lose interest in things as they get older. People also find new interests. I want this place to be a fun escape from irl stuff for you guys. I like interacting with you all and that is what has kept me posting on here and caring about the place, not wrestling. I think some of you can say that as well. It isn't a bad thing to still want to come on here and talk to people even if you aren't watching the product. Just gotta hope things change in a good way to keep people happy who are enjoying what they are doing right now while bringing fans who lost interest back to caring again.

Quick reply:

LR section is intimidating because of Snow's own issues, not anything actually involving it :) Y'all are good

I sometimes wonder if they want an adult audience anymore. I can see kids loving this but not as many adults.

Hell, at this point, I don't know who the fuck they really aim to impress with this bullshit. I genuinely can't see kids being interested in the look of a villain who was portrayed subpar in its movie from 2012...Like come on, old man Vince are you just catching up to that damn movie after 6 years now?!?

It was a decent movie at the time. I do question his inspiration here and why he is doing things so late. I can't see this being Dean's idea.

Yeah the movie was decent (even though they did not do well with Bane's character development nor Anne Hathaway's Catwoman SORRY I HATED HER CATWOMAN I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK, PEOPLE). Vince is just naturally doing things that do not make sense as a businessman in today's sports entertainment. He has allowed himself to become to stuck in his ways and never attempted to keep up with the times. As many people have said before, he's gotten too old for the business and it's time for him to walk away...hand it over to his son-in-law, hand it over to someone who can flip it into the great company it once was known as. I don't think this was at all a Dean Ambrose idea but if it was...then ladies and gentlemen, here's your beloved Lunatic Fringe that you all prayed when I couldn't stand him...

Really, he should have stepped down 10 years ago or at least stepped back. He doesn't need to be so involved anymore.

Dean Ambrose has a stupid wrestling character. Won't get a singles match at mania.

Wacky 2014 Ambrose is a million times better then this shit.

I don't know why they are references a movie from 2012 or whatever. Dark Night Rises is the worst movie in the trilogy.

Vince is pretty much okay with having the biggest company in the business, he is not concerned with having the best. He knows that it is highly unlikely that any other wrestling company will be able to come close to him, so he is fine sitting back on his laurels and doing what he wants as opposed to doing what his fans want.

There have been a few times that I have wondered if I have lost my passion for wrestling, but then I watch old shows on the Network, I watch NJPW, NXT and a variety of indies and I am almost ALWAYS entertained. So I know I haven't.

I just got done watch Summerslam 2000 where Eddie G. & Chyna were a mixed tag team couple, Road Dogg & X-Pac battled each other, Mick Foley was the commissioner of both Raw & Smackdown, Triple H & Kurt had a feud going especially since Kurt had just kissed Stephanie, The Rock was WWE Champion, The American Badass Undertaker had been betrayed by Kane and The Dudley Boyz, Edge & Christian and The Hardy Boys had a good ol' TLC match...aaahhh better times :emoji_relieved:
