How is HHH fumbling this much? Why does he refuse to push new or different talent? Only Samoans.

Smackdown tag division is bleak. They have to send Andrade to fucking give it any actual prestige.

It's hopeless corporate slop now and there's no going back. Wrestling needs deranged carnies with a vision at the helm. Without them it's just slop slop slop without a hint of purpose or soul.

We can only pray AJ Styles shitcans Dominic but we all know that Judgement Day will interfere. Its telegraphed by a mile.
Every single storyline I think I might get interested in, Hatch has to fuck it up.

Roxanne & Raquel are the only thing on the womens side I even care about at this point. How long until he makes them jobbers again?

I feel like the only lifeline the product has is fucking Kross looks like he is getting a push.

But granted how quickly creative has crushed Bron, Penta, Ron Killings, and Black, I get the unnerving feeling that Kross is going to be buried worse than all of them just to spite what little hope we have.

So try another fucking promotion if its so bleak. What is it with WWE fans and this Stockholm syndrome routine? You know it's garbage, just walk away. They do not deserve your loyalty. There's hundreds of other companies, just walk away.

Kross is one of the few guys they have with real potential, but they'll probably waste him too.

Bait
>Bron Breakker and LA Knight buried
tbf, they're not great at writing this or thinking in advance since Seff died Saturday
>Roman Reigns is back for taking up spotlight with the most mid matches/promos ever
Temp role before leaving yet again. Notice it was his usual MO to show up at the very end of the show
>70 Wyatt spooksters running around on smackdown
Wyatt Sicks ain't a bad change-up for the boring ass male tag division with Alpha Academy down
>2000 Samoans running around on smackdown
Ok, no one argues too many Samoans outside of Rock and Rikishi
>Judgement Day holds all the Raw belts but never defends them
Something no one can really explain other than shit writing
>Cena Retirement run has been completely gimped
You expected too much. Just like Goldberg expected too much

>bait
Its either Goonter squashes dusty ole bones wasting everyones time for a month or Phil actually pulls it off and we have most boring in the world defending the belt. Either way its fucking shit.
>They're not great on writing
It literally writes itself there is no excuse. They had the Gauntlet match to build up Bron or they have Knight tailwind off his win against Seff. NOBODY was asking for Phil to win so he can get his ass kicked by Goont.
>Temp role
Even more insulting and a waste of time that belongs to other superstars that actually have to carry the show week in and out. Fuck Reigns, let him never wrestle again.
>Wyatt Sicks ain't bad
Check their botch count per match, its sky high. All for selling Uncle Howdy who hasn't done shit for 2 years now.

All you mentioned is RAW with wyatts being only a Smackdown problem as Truth Killings.
AS for Judgement Day, blame the Raw Bookers aka Seth Rollins and the female booker and locker room leader Becky "That doesnt work for me Sister" Lynch

And, what's the problem?

Maybe we need 2000 Japanese female wrestlers.
Maybe we need 200 more luchadors.

That with no question fix the fact that WWE writers sucks and talent management is ran by monkeys and donkeys.

Samoans should be feuding agaisnt each other over the Tribal Chief stuff. Yet they are feuding over petty things.

Wyatts are ok, but maybe give them something else than just spooky faces and silly gestures? If they could bring at least 1% of Bray Wyatt stuff, that wouldn't be an issue. Instead, they thing narrative can be written by booking matches and that's it.

They are attempting to replicate what they have been doing to Vaquer and Iyo: Narratives with barely any narration.

At the end, the problem is how lazy WWE writters are.

Maybe we should swapt Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Maybe somebody else should be the showrunner.

But that's WWE has amazing talented wrestlers in both divisions.

Agree it's shit, just didn't believe Punk would win after trying to fix the mistake of burying Gunther to Jey originally. It's bait for the Punk fans and morons.
>They had the Gauntlet match to build up Bron or they have Knight tailwind off his win against Seff. NOBODY was asking for Phil to win so he can get his ass kicked by Goont.
Well Punk probably was in-between moments of railing Roxy. Gonna laugh if this is the last run of Punk this year without saying retirement because he's gotten too old for this shit and AEW won't let him come back
>Fuck Reigns, let him never wrestle again.
Agreed. It was bad enough having Heyman do almost all the work because Roman only wants PLE pay days
>Check their botch count per match, its sky high. All for selling Uncle Howdy who hasn't done shit for 2 years now.
Bo was hurt, I can let that go for now. He wants to honors his brother and H wants to honor Bray/what Bray represented. Not sure how much of this is H's bad ideas and attempting to keep a finger on the wheel as things seem to build up to push him out. He's no Vince. Hell, not sure he could even be Nash in post-Flair WCW writing team at this point. He looks like a broken man wanting to cry if he isn't praised 24/7 now. '00s H would hate what he became as much as '00s Rock would hate his current self somewhat but probably live with it for the money

Tony D'Angelo is a danger to the society. He threw NXT Heritage Cup into the water from the bridge. He wasn't shown to check if someone was under water. It could cripple an innocent person. The cup is heavy and head trauma is possible.

It's like when Kid Rock, WWE Hall of Famer, shoot Budlight beer (transgender promo controversy) from AR or something with bullets penetrating the water of some small thin pond where ducklings could possibly appear without notice. And no one was checking for them. Tony is an irresponsible prick. Or when one wrestler from Dragon Gate put air spray to the box without looking if the monkey was inside. The infamous monkey abuse. Somehow Akira Tozawa had no big repercussions or questioning by the media.

Triple Gaytch isn't a good booker, I mean he lost clean against AEW and got NXT kicked off back to Tuesdays. I don't want to be a dick but WWE won't be exciting again until he has a health scare and Shawn gets a run with the book, hell, if Punk meanwhile retirez I would like to see Shawn booking Raw and Punk booking Smackdown, Collision was pretty kino for a while even with a weaker roster.
