Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted September 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2019 Wrestling is just a habbit though right for a lot of us. I certainly end Monday watching the first hour or so of Raw, then getting up in the morning and watching the rest/highlights/reports depending on my enjoyment of the show. I can't say I have enjoyed much WWE programming this year, but still do this every week  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToeSucker Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Exactly. I watch the clips on youtube to see if i'm missing anything, incase something good happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2019 I just read the Bleacher Report every Tuesday and Wednesday first thing in the morning while I'm still trying to find the hole in my face where coffee goes into. I don't really watch WWE anymore unless I see on Facebook, Bleacher Report or one of you cunts on here say that something wonderous has happened. Like Bray Wyatt at Summerslam. That made me so happy to see. And it's all gik again. I love an oul Tanaka/Awesome match though. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the general stale presentation and booking that are the problematic areas. Without those, though, it's just gymnastics. Watching AEW and NJPW has really made me realise how stale I'd found WWE before I stopped watching. Wrestling needs good presentation and booking to be exciting.

TheToeSucker Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 a friend of mine stopped watching WWE because "it's not a sport" but when I recommended her NJPW because I know she'd like it, she doesn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dipped in and out of some indy stuff and NJPW over the years and rarely have any idea of the storylines etc, but the matches themselves have been enjoyable. Admittedly regular fans would enjoy the product on a totally different level, but I'd still say it's possible to have some appreciation of good matches without a full understanding of the context.

Fair point, especially if it's the first time you've watched, although there's still a presentation point in there. I meant more in a sustained way. I can enjoy gymnastics as a one-off, but I might not get invested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being generous, they might not have actually being designated as anything but last week the jobbers went heel to try and get them any sort of reaction. either way, cold as fuck. They haven't been portrayed as heels at any time since their main roster call up. They are a big guy face team that does big power moves to get the fans to like them. Edited September 11, 2019 by FUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Statto Posted September 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2019 Leaving aside the jobber squashes, they: worked against Hawkins & Ryder and the Lucha House Party at the beginning of their main roster tenure teamed with The Revival in 8-mans on a couple of occasions went against the New Day teamed with Samoa Joe against the New Day in a 6-man I certainly thought they’d been primarily positioned as heels until the last couple of weeks.

It's just habit, I've watched it for years, it's kind of what I do every Tuesday. I mean, I've had weeks where I've not particularly enjoyed Raw, and thought it wasn't a great show, but if you're at the stage where you dislike it every week, can't get excited about it, hate the wrestling on the show, find it stale and feel the need to express how poor you find it online, you're probably at the stage where you shouldn't watch. Â There must be something else on, or something else to do on a Tuesday that you'd enjoy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If her reason for not watching WWE was that it’s not in Japan, NJPW would be a decent solution. If her reason for not watching WWE is that it’s not a sport, NJPW is a stupid solution.
