Having Randy Orton win the Royal Rumble, while at the time seemed unnecessary and completely out of touch with the desires of the fans to witness a satisfying end result, actually made sense in the long term booking of, um, you know...

uh,

yeah.

You know, Shinksuke Nakamura would never get over with midwestern Americans so it's good he's in the midcard.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
it was actually pretty cool and awesome to keep teasing a Luke Harper push and then never do it

that rules a whole lot love to have optimism for like two weeks

putting the title on jinder has surely warned wrestlers of the downsides of using steroids

WWE supporting the current nazi regime is clearly cool and good, as it will give me something to do when Vince dies, that being taking a poo poo on his grave.

They put on a house of horrors match and I paid money to see it in the arena on a titantron. That's really the most positive argument I can say to that.

Putting the Universal Championship on a wrestler who almost never shows up on Raw in no way diminishes fan interest in said title. In no way could having the title in the hands of an active talent help them or Raw in anyway, no sir. This also isn't old, even though they have done this twice before!

Breaking up the Wyatt clan has allowed Braun Strowman to really come into his own as an attempted murder survivor.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Not turning Roman heel after retiring the Undertaker was good because only heroes can beat the deadman.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

Having Goldberg and Brock as Universal Champions this year was actually very helpful, because that belt is still hideous and they kept it off my TV screen for months!

Randy Orton's brain damage from Brock Lesnar kind of makes me laugh on a cosmic scale of how hosed up things are, since they're fine with that but not a bladejob

SImilar to Bayley, having Sami lose everything and act like a social retard is a great way of building him up for greater things. Every great champion came from the bottom and Sami first has to get down to the ground floor before he can rise above everyone else. Leave it to Vince to feel the pulse of time to give us masterpieces like that and create the next big thing.

Them having a PPV every two weeks was a brilliant decision because all the terrible decisions they make at the PPV always help us forget all the retarded decisions from the PPV two weeks earlier.

Keeping the Cruiserweights on raw only allowed them mass exposure they wouldn't get on the other show.

If we're talking the last 365 days, I still haven't got over the horrible setup and treatment of the Shield triple threat match from last year's Battleground..

If we're talking 2017, I'd say just the awful 3-4 months Smackdown has had - from Charlotte being brought down, to Shinsuke feeling like nothing special, the cancelling of Talking Smack, and of course, Jinder Mahal's title push out of nowhere.

Breaking up American Alpha was a smart move because Chad Gable is dead weight that belongs on the soon-to-be-cancelled 205 Live.

Talking Smack being cancelled was a great as it made people think the miz was revived and we can't be having things like that in the WWE.

It's good that they are doing nothing with Luke Harper. They are clearly just biding their time with him. They are merely getting ready all of the wonderful Luke merch he will sell when he resurfaces. YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Remember when he fought AJ Styles 1-on-1 to see who main events WrestleMania? And people were fine with the idea of a Orton/Harper/Wyatt thriple threat for the Title?

Pls include a "will there be a MITB cash in and if yes, is it Corbin/Carms/both?". Also include it whenever there's a MITB in play. Thank you based Golashes for your tireless work.
