The Wrestling Thread: WWE Elimination Chamber -2/21/21 WWE Network moving to Peacock in March

I love Kenny vs people like PAC or Fenix.

Actually for smackdown the ratings are higher than 4 years ago. They are 2005 level

Yea I was referring more to RAW.

See people say this but don’t accept smackdown is the a show and been the a show since 2016

Since 2006.

A few things.

•We saw Heyman run RAW and it was boring as hell also it didn’t help the guys he liked weren’t that good on the mic.

•Bruce isn’t much better either since he books a lot like a territory with no tv since he keeps putting the same matches over and over.

•WWE did give us what they wanted with Kofi and man it didn’t translate well into adding viewers and butts to the seats. This is despite a good solid reign and some real good wins.

•AEW needs a medium because it’s hard to care for some guys over others when lower card guys are doing it. They really need to overhaul the AEW Dark concept ain’t nobody sitting through 10+ matches.

I mean yeah.

I been repping blue brand since the initial draft

I think when people say i have issues with wwe. It is raw and nxt. Specifically raw is trash and is so much random bad booking. Nxt is too stale with guys not moving up anymore so then no new stars are really being given any chance.

With aew it is the self fellatio and bte referencea that everybody says is crap. The top performers who are serious guys get over.

But i mean look at the fucking backseat orange Cassidy has taken. After months and with jericho putting dude over. oC is in a tag feud with miro and kip sabian.

Then you got pnp who are lackeys.

Hager and Wardlow had a banger match. Then nothing. Jungle Boy gets pushed and i still do not see it.

The problems is aew pushes are extremely based on nepotism. The more in your are with the bucks and cody the better booking you get.

Not to mention the shitty womens division.

They have lots of talented tag teams but I give no shits about the tag title.

Having lots of teams is not making a good division.

FTR are cutting up masks and raping marko stunt.
Wtf

Then a 10 second squash.
To let you remember that Vince was doing the fans a favor and not that Kofi is a realistic champ.

Fuck WWE.

Which was the most believable outcome with Kofi brashly going at him he got caught and boom the end.

Were WWE fucked up is by just dumping him into the mid card/tag scene immediately after. You had the building blocks for Kofi chasing and adding more to his character but failed to explore it.

Don’t forget about WWE breaking up about 8 tag teams recently for no reason.

Or giving Otis the MITB for another “fan favor”. Then ripping it away.

WWE really dropped the ball breaking up Heavy Machinery…

Will not be surprised if Tucker Knight gets future endeavored by WM weekend.

It’s amazing how Vince mindset has shifted on tag team wrestling from back in the 80s and early 90s until now especially when you look at the cards back then and all the recognizable teams. The women’s tag is in the same spot despite all the work The Golden Role Models put into elevating those titles (no disrespect to Bliss Cross and Kabuki Warriors)

…well!

Well maybe had they not made those stupid decisions on the wrestlers twitch and cameo accounts, they could be using those to their advantage.

Will not be surprised if otis gets mad at chad and brings back tucky

If jason jordan does return.

So wwe has 2 animated series on the network

Camp wwe should have never been mature

AEW is starting to run into the challenge of managing a larger roster. More people to book but no added TV time.
