  1. Doesn't that ignore the fact that there's a general opinion that WWE's product has been better lately? Because the increase in attendance and sales etc lately surely shows that they can't just "put on any old shite" to get record ratings and attendance? Otherwise they would've been doing that year on year for however long? And ALL fandoms have shit takes. There's always going to be people who have absolutely no interest in opposing views and will just defend their favourite stuff to the death. Wrestling. Football. Sci fi. All of it. And yeah @tiger_rick I guess it comes down to what people are watching it for, as you say. I imagine the majority of the audience - who the product is mostly aimed at - aren't going to be sitting down and picking it apart in the way some of us do on here. So there's no right/wrong opinions really in terms of quality or whether it's "good" because good clearly means different things to different people, especially in wrestling.
  2. Oh in terms of reasonable discussion and all that - absolutely. I rarely directly engage with anyone on Twitter. However in terms of a wider picture and seeing how people are reacting to stuff, reading Twitter/Facebook/Reddit can give a more overall view of how things are being received as a general audience, which I would assume WWE care more about than us on here. Basically the opposite of Tony Khan. And right now, as far as I can tell, the questionable booking and shifts hasn't caused a mass turn against Cody or caused any issues with the business, nor has whatever work The Rock has been putting in. And that'll be all they care about really.
  3. Is that true though? Granted a lot of focus has been on The Rock but, whether you agree on the content or whatever, surely the clear point of all of this is to get Cody over more? One of the main concerns was if they were ever going to be able to keep Cody hot enough for a rematch at Mania. As far as I can tell Cody is the most over person and in the best spot to beat Roman. If that's the case then I think Rock is doing his job okay. If Cody/Roman falls flat at Mania and no one is invested then we'll know no one gives a shit and the build up failed. And if they can keep Cody hot AND come out of this with possible feuds with the Rock or Rock/Reigns then that's got to be a good thing no? I get that the simple story was screwed up somewhere along the way and it's tough for some to get on board now but they do seem to be doing a decent job. I'm not seeing much that people aren't invested in now unless I'm missing something.
  4. Saw a lot of positive comments on the Cody promo over socials this morning. Seemed to go down well in general. Crowd were really into him too. Didn't think it was a bad promo at all myself but hey. DIY/Creeds worked really well together. Creeds will have their time. They should have a long and bright future. Need to enjoy DIY while we can as they don't seem to have much luck on the main roster, together or apart. The Becky stuff was exactly what she needed going into Mania. I'm still more into Bayley's story but can't deny Rhea/Becky feeling like the bigger match. And enjoying the experimentation each week with the shots. Definitely feels like they're more flexible now.
  5. Never seen more accurate wording on a t-shirt.
  6. If there was ever an article written for me. Thanks for sharing
  7. I'd be surprised if Eddie even knows what he's doing from one day to the next. It's a mess.
  8. What the fuck is that one dude doing flinging his arms around madly.
  9. Oh man, this is a tough one. So many things. I'll have to come back to it. But I can tell you what the best thing the Internet has given me recently because obviously it's this man.
  10. Yeah the coldness due to Jimmy's turn makes more sense I think and I can definitely understand why some people wouldn't be into it after that. It was pretty nonsensical. But I guess the long term plan was riding the Jey popularity wave AND getting the Mania match between the two. It has been mentioned by them a few times that it's something they wanted. So on a personal level I'm quite happy for them too. Also not really sure where they go after it. Is it one big blow off match and then they go back to pretending each other doesn't exist? I imagine they'll reconcile eventually. Most teams do. Might depend on how successful Jey continues to be.
  11. It's a fine line isn't it. If they're all over each other week on week then it doesn't feel that special when they finally have a match. So I can see why they've been mostly separated. WWE have often had too many interactions between people and lessened the impact. I quite like that they haven't overdone it. There's more than enough there for me to want to see them fight. I don't think it's something that desperately needs more buildup.
  12. I mean I'm not surprised you're not into it, lets be honest. But I'll agree that Knight/Styles is a random thing and I am surprised like most people that it isn't combined with the Logan stuff. Maybe they've decided they needed another match to fill the time? Who knows. Have to disagree on the Uso thing though. Considering how long the Bloodline stuff has been going, surely Mania a natural conclusion for those two? That's exactly the type of thing they should be aiming for on the card.
  13. It's a shame if it has ruined WrestleMania for you personally as there's a lot of entertaining stuff going on and The Rock is putting in a strong shift. He's not half arsing it. Yes there was a logical story there originally and yes it could have been a lot more straight forward but at some point the majority had to make the decision to let go of that and make the most of what we're getting now. Fair enough if you don't want to and you want to hold on to the anger a bit but it's not going to change. We are where we are and unless you can build a time machine we're here now. Plus knowing we could've ended up with something far worse anyway.. yeah, I think the build up we're getting now is a good effort and Mania itself should be another solid one.
