Hopefully we'll have a good event this sunday.
As for Raw and Smackdown.
On Raw, you can clearly see the main event picture. Brock has THE title people wants. Who wants it? Roman, would be legit fight with Brock. Strowman would also be super legit. Both of these want to be the MAIN alphas on Raw and feud because of it. Both wrestle well and can do more than one move (Lesnar).
Right beneath this, we have the sub main event, with Balor, Miz, Rollins, Bray and Ambrose. They have higher goals, and want Brock as well, but during this Roman/Strowman feud, they settle with the Intercontinental title. Now, both titles have great matches around them. As for the Women title, the women on Raw are just.. better. In every aspect of wrestling. Sure, Carmella is fucking hot but that's it. Also, the tag team is way more explosive and fun. And just look at the names I mentioned, and all the names I DIDN'T mention.

On Smackdown, we have a main event picture of Orton, who recently won the title from a person that's now on Raw. He's feuding with Jinder, a poor wrestler. Prior to like three weeks, they probably never did shit together. It seems this is the main picture. Who wants in on it? Corbin, Sami Zayn and Luke Harper, neither of which seems close to being pushed.
The US Title is Kevin Owens', and for some reason, the best guy on Smackdown is after that one (AJ Styles) instead of the title that Orton has. As a side show, and with zero meaning other than potentially building a feud that might as well be meaningless, we have Ziggler and Nakamura against eachother.
All this, with random appearances by Mojo Rawley, randomly winning Andre the Giant and then never wrestle again, Erick Rowan the side kick to Bray who now is on Raw, once a year random appearances by Sin Cara. The only fun part about the combined tag team picture on Smackdown is Ellsworth. It's fun seeing him get mocked and try to act big, even against women.

I don't understand why there's two brands, when one of them sit on like 80% of the good talent.


NXT Takeover also tonight (Saturday)
I will probably watch it live since I got the network, well semi-watch
I don't like NXT but the PPV's since they only happen once a few months are kinda worth watching if you're bored with nothing else to do.

Of course you think it's rare since we are complete opposites in what's good and bad about wrestling :lol:


Yep, you mostly care about in-ring wrestling and kicks and high flying and im more storyline/character oriented (I like PPV matches with belts on the line, just not RAW filler matches unless its something interesting...which rarely happens)

I like small, medium, big guys...just tiny guys are really really hard to get behind unless they are amazing at promos or something else ++ in term of WWE they are making them look bad by putting them in a cruiserweight division where these guys will main event a RAW ppv like once every 200 PPV if lucky

in UFC, any classweight as long as you're a big name can mainevent a PPV regardless if men or women or weight class
WWE fails so hard at making you care at the tiny guys, putting them in a shitty division with 0 exposure with only like 7 guys in that whole CW division, its a freaking joke...only Neville thats good and its a shame hes there and Balor isnt, theyre same size and neville is bigger
Only reason why balor isnt is because of the "Demon"

I dont hate that much balor anymore but its so hard to believe he can beat roman reigns in a fight..
50X worse vs Lesnar which it seems match might happen in the next few months...since he's owed a 1on1 rematch

Yup, regardless how bad a ppv has been built I can enjoy it if the matches are good :p

The cruiserweight division is terrible, even if there are some great wrestlers there it's impossible to care about the division itself and the same people face each other every week. Was good the first two weeks then it feels like a repeat

Honestly, I feel like the talent already in place needs to do more shit instead of just adding random new NXT talent.
I honestly feel Samoa Joe fills zero role on Raw except his occasional fight with Rollins because that one time they battled.

Yeah, they've booked a ton of weird stuff lately. They mix good with bad, sadly.
