Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

That was one helluva spot by KO, even if you could see the inflatable crash pad under the desk...to take a bump from that height was spectacular! [Reply]
Extreme Rules veat my expectations, but my expectations was like WcW New Blood PPV levels. Outside of the Big 4, all the PPVs are just glorified House Shows anymore, and that's going to be a problem for WWE down the road.
On the flipside, they might as well just release Asuka. [Reply]

In case you missed it, it's obvious that Vince and Dunn got a hold of the womens booking...the 2 women that exemplify everything the attitude era was for WWE women are the 2 with belts that keep beating all the women better than them... [Reply]
They've made significant investments and jacked off allover it afterwards for awhile now. That's why I hope people like Brock Lesnar hold them ransom for a billion dollars because they deserve it. [Reply]

I thought it was worse than WCW level. Even the couple of matches I had high hopes for were made jokes of.
Seriously. Only WWE would be stupid enough to pay a guy like Brock Lesnar millions of dollars with the sole purpose of trying to make the fans hate him so much that he gets go away heat and the fans cheer Reigns when he beats him... even though they just tried that shit at Mania and it backfired in the worst possible manner.

Even the little things just baffle me with the company. For example, a team like Breezango. They were doing a great thing back a year ago with Fashion Files. It was fun and entertaining, at least in mine and many other people’s opinion. Then, poof. It’s like they don’t even exist anymore. I get it, not the greatest wrestling duo there is, but the point is that WWE had something that a large chunk of the audience actually enjoyed and they just swept it under the rug in favor of boring ass Big Cass or Baron Corbin promos.
That’s just one very minuscule example of the stubborn ignorance that company shows each week. They literally don’t do the one thing that they should focus on doing—listening to the fans. [Reply]

They think Roman is the one for that.
4+ years. It's literal insanity that they're still so hellbent on Reigns being the next standard-bearer for the company, even though the hardcores absolutely despise him and the casuals don't care about him since the product is at it's lowest viewership its ever been at. RAW last week was the lowest ever. [Reply]

He somehow still sells merch, which is why his push still takes place.
My favorite part of the entire thing is how adamant they are on that they don't care what fans think about him, but yet try every single trick in the book to get fans to like him. To top it off, the answer to their problems is right in their face (Rollins) and they refuse to do it. [Reply]
They really don't care, they have a base that never leaves and shiny new TV contracts worth more money. They sign all the best workers etc etc, Triple H does have a different vision than Vince watch NXT and that's easy to see...sad to say Vince dying or focusing on like the XFL could improve the product.

They're gonna have to care, because Fox is strongly expecting 3 million viewers regularly when Smackdown changes networks in a year and right now they are off by a million.
They will quickly move them onto FS1 or pull the deal altogether if Vince can't provide it. That's why I expect them to thumb their dicks till next summer and run around like crazy when it comes close to new TV deal time.
Even when Smackdown was on a local TV network (UPN), Friday nights were not kind to them. I wish them luck :-) [Reply]
