I would consider watching the show on Hulu, but I always fear that one or two of the things that I actually enjoyed might have been cut out. I dunno, I've never bothered to keep up with what specific segments they tend to cut out for Hulu (mostly the unimportant stuff, I assume.)
Plus, it's always easier for me to just hit record on the DVR and just skim through it later.
You won't regret it. Every now and then a good tag match gets cut, or you may miss out on someone you're a big mark for doing pointless shit, but usually they just cut the Divas + Fandango + Adam Rose + Bo Dallas + Rusev + Torito/Hornswoggle + something like Sandow dicking around and then make the show 2 hours, which is SO much better.
I'm giving it an "actually really optimistic by Rain/Snow standards" 2. Hey, look, a number! :yay:
The reason it's getting a rating at all is because I enjoyed Wrestlemania season and even the build to Extreme Rules so much this year, so I can't help but feel optimistic for the summer storyline. There's hope, as opposed to most years when people talk about a "creative lull" and I say they're full of shit because the product is this apathetic all the time. Maybe something could happen this year?
This may be the first time I've criticized the talents (well, mostly the booking) but there's nobody drawing me in right now at all. Punk is at his local comic book store, Bryan is recovering from surgery, the Shield is gone because Rollins said "fuck this Broncos noise, here in the middle of the game I'm jumping over to the Oakland sideline!" , Cesaro is in a never-ending series of matches with Bob as they clearly have NO idea what to do with him, Ziggler is a lost cause, the Usos have nobody to feud with, hell these guys even made me hate Emma. Is that unbelievable or what?
And of course there's creative which I've all bitched about ad nauseum but that's where Bray Wyatt comes in. He's coming off a very competitive LMS Match that should have left him fairly strong, but I've gotta consider it a burial, because they've conditioned me to believe that Wyatt won't recover from this feud. And then there was that news report of them already giving up on Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, and Paige, so we shouldn't be getting behind any new talents because they won't, either. Isn't that the ultimate in "I don't like the people writing this show so why the hell should I watch?"

R: Triple H should come down from the heavens and run this shit.
