I've been thinking now since watching NXT Takeover last Thursday. That show was absolutely incredible. I had a different feeling watching it. Now I know what that feeling was. EXCITEMENT! The excitement that I once had watching pro-wrestling when I was younger. It felt fresh and cool, something that wouldn't be embarrassing talking about the next day at school.
I've been ranting negatively about the WWE for awhile now. Watching RAW now feels like a chore rather than a fun past-time. It's because I'm NOT a SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT FAN... I'm a PRO WRESTLING FAN! NXT is Pro-Wrestling. Something I haven't seen in a long time! Every match counted all the story lines were WRESTLING RELATED. The energy and excitement made me realize how I became a Pro Wrestling fan. I've been watching "sports-entertainment" now for YEARS and I forgot how precious pro wrestling is. That was the only PPV that I actually re-watched 3X after it aired! Can't remember the last time I did that!
RAW is nothing but a 3 Hour nightmare. Show just drags on and on with pointless matches and dumb comedy. NXT Thursday night show just FLIES BY! It makes you wanting more! Corey Graves as a color commentator feels fresh and he looks unique. Those 3 clowns calling RAW have to go. Lately, I've been putting them on mute. I just can't take them any more.
I'm to a point right now that I will only watch NXT until WWE turns back to PRO WRESTLING & not SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT. It's just going to suck when WWE finally calls up some of my favorite NXT Wrestlers. I can see them all being buried. TLC game me no hope having Big Show go over on Big Red. What was the point of that! Why did Big Show need the WIN?!? That's the WWE for you! I can see John Cena wrestling in a 5 on 1 handicap match against the NXT FAV 5 and going over on them. John Cena is only 37 years old... Hulk Hogan didn't even make his WWE comeback until he was 48 back in 2002... Cena still has over a decade of being the man.
Now we have the "Roman Empire" that will compete with the "Cena Nation"... I don't want the Roman Empire! The man can't even speak on the mic. Just uses 1-liners and only has a few moves. Finn Balor or Kevin Owens should be that NEXT GUY! Balor has the "feeling" about him. He already has that "it" factor. I just know the WWE will drop the ball with him. Probably make him Star Dust's long lost cousin and then they will give Kevin Owens some burping/eating gimmick. EAT OWENS EAT! Itami will retire and try to become Smackdown's Number 1 Announcer. Zayn's gimmick will be that he can't win a WWE match EVER. Neville will become an elf and related to Hornswaggle.
I just have no hope right now for WWE. It's Sports Entertainment that's why... I'm a pro wrestling fan.. I will support NXT and watch it every week. Global Force Wrestling also has my interest right now. Them working with NJPW at Wrestle Kingdom 9 has my attention!
Pro Wrestling.. How I missed you! NXT thank you for reminding me what I was missing for all these years!

The wrestling can be as great as ever, but we need compelling stories to go along with it.

The wrestling can be as great as ever, but we need compelling stories to go along with it. I agree with this. You can have the best wrestling roster in the world and put on amazing matches but if the feuds and storylines aren't good and the booking is bad.Then no one is gonna care. |

Almost the entire main WWE board is filled with topics like this... it's so redundant. When WWE is so poorly written and booked that people think the average at best weekly NXT show is the greatest thing in years...meh.

WWE has really never been all about the wrestling if you sit back and think about it.
But they HAVE been about telling some GREAT stories to go along with the wrestling.
Adding all kinds of extra stuff instead of hashtags and app votes....
I remember the good old days with backstage segments,
promos between 2 guys who were going to fight about why they wanted to fight, (trading jabs, etc.)
not giving away a big match on RAW every single week,
not having the same combination of matches on RAW, Smackdown the PPV, Main event, Superstars and house shows for 8 weeks straight,
guys actually fighting for a purpose and not just i'm here, you're here
commentators talking about the match going on in the ring and not the main event, twitter, or how many facebook fans the WWE has
the camera actually focusing on the action, not zooming in and out every 10 seconds to try and fake out the audience
unpredictability beyond some guy showing up randomly to beat up some other guy
continuing on.....

Pro Wrestling.. How I missed you! NXT thank you for reminding me what I was missing for all these years! End of rant You had me until you said that Kevin Owens or Finn Balor should be the next top guy. How can they do from developmental straight to the main event? But then you got me back at New Japan. Stick with them and ROH for now. Hopefully Jeff Jarett can make something happen with GFW, but I'm very skeptical so far. We'll see when more information is released. With all the great things I'm hearing about NXT, I'm thinking of subscribing to the network just for that. And on a kind of related note, as soon as New Japan World is available in English, I'll be all over that. What makes me so angry with WWE is that they consistently disappoint. They're no reason for it. They have ask the resources to be great. I'm bout crazy about a good portion of the roster, but that's an easy fix. They have all the tools they could ever need, but all we ever get from then is "  you, you don't know what you want. WE know what you want." They have to know that they are putting on terrible shows. They have to know that listening to Jerry Lawler, JBL and Michael Cole is like having someone rub their bunghole on my ear. A dirty bunghole. Just to be clear, in not one of these WWE for no reason guys. I don't think it's cool to hate something just because it's popular. I want to love the WWE. I grew up on it. I wish I could be a fan, but it is unwatchable television. And despite their you attitude toward their fans, I think the WWE fans have to share the blame. They put up with garbage show after garbage show, go nowhere Sunday Night Raw's (formerly known as PPVs), nonsense storylines, bullcrap finishes, the same three guys getting shoved down our throats for years, etc. They chant this is awesome WHEN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS HAPPENING. But most importantly, they are so jaded that whenever WWE is able to cobble together a mediocre show, they think it's that they are actually watching good television. I know I don't sound like it, but I want WWE to do better. I want to be a fan again. And I'll keep checking back every now and again, but I don't have much for for the immediate future. Holy that was a long rant. Did anyone actually bother to read ask of that? |

Kane and Big Show will be retired soon. Rowan "was" hot for a brief while then the WWE just grabbed 20 bags of ice and cooled him off. |

You had better enjoy NXT as much as you can....no doubt Vince will catch on to how quality it is and turn it back into a reality show competition....I have no doubt in my mind they will meddle with it sooner or later and you'll have a Total Divas clone....so long as Vince is in control.
