I’m aware this is me screaming into a void, they have made it aware that they supposedly don’t listen to the online fanbase (I don’t believe it but hey ho) so the chances of anyone from WWE seeing a lemmy post is almost impossible.
A couple of years ago many of the IWC (including myself) joked about how the first international wrestlemania would be in Saudi and yesterday that became a reality, TKO is taking this product and turning it into to something unrecognisable. I mean slim Jim tables and ladders, logos all over the ring, the prime stand, the promotional entrances and then the spit in the face to American fans is the ESPN PLE move. There are so many places they could have done the first international WM, In my biased opinion Wembley would have been great, one of the biggest in the world or even places like France, the international crowds have shown they love live shows there.
It’s all just crap, raw and smackdown is just ads that are interrupted with wrestling, even with the ability to skip forward I still don’t want to finish the shows because it’s the same booking every week and certain people not being used for weeks on end despite being champions or being over with the crowd. You can’t even say they’re throwing shit into a fan and see where it lands because that would imply there would be something different every week. Yeah, AJ Lee returned and teaming her with punk against Seth and Becky could be fun, but you can’t have a return every week. Don’t get me started on John Cena’s heel turn, what a waste.
Also Using Naomi and jimmy’s pregnancy to promote Steph’s podcast? Like really? That is where we are at?
I got back into wrestling at clash at the castle wales, and it was so great to see the product out so itself time after time, but now it’s just about the viral moments, they’re trying to appeal to a crowd that doesn’t watch their product.
I won’t comment on the wrestling as I’m fully aware I would never last in the ring but it would be nice if certain wrestlers could try something different and mix it up.
I’m fully aware as well that me not watching anymore won’t hurt the product but there is no point in me watching if I can’t enjoy it.
