I like professional wrestling. Here are a few things I like from the past few months involving the "bad" show, Monday Night RAW:

Even when it's bad, I can generally count on you, Rowdy Ringsports, to gripe about it in an amusing way.

I tend to agree that the environment on this board has gotten notably worse than it was when I first posted here circa 2013. People seem to actively look for reason to dismiss and despise certain wrestlers, promotions and each other a lot harder than they did a few years ago. I think it's a symptom of having hopes and expectations crushed vs a time when there were no expectations and therefore it was easier to make light of things that were bad instead of taking then as personal blows.

Its just a theory though.

Wwe is actually bad, but it gets annoying when a lot of posters here blame the talent instead of lovely booking and writing. A wrestler losing a lot doesn't mean that wrestler is bad it means they are being booked poorly, but people will always jump on the wrestler for losing a big match like wrestling is real. It's weird.

After what the writers did to Emma you'd think nobody would be blaming anyone on the Raw roster for not being able to get over.

I honestly think Roman is going to literally beg Vince to lose the match. If Roman retires Taker then his career is essentially over, he's never ever ever getting a face reaction.

maybe this is Vince's plan, make Roman so hated he triggers an integer overflow error and gets cheered

He doesn't have to, since Brock and Goldberg are probably going to have an actual match this time he can just out-knockout punch Big Show and win in 20 seconds.

lol it's seven loving hours long, they're both going to get twenty minutes. at least this year we'll be going in knowing wrestlemania is poo poo instead of last year where there was the hope that everything other than Roman would be good

Nakamura's gonna have that first entrance on the main roster that everyone's going to die for, and then halfass the first match he has on Raw/SD or a B/C-tier PPV like it was a New Japan house show, and it'll be the quickest anybody's went from love to hate regarding something WWE-related. I sincerely hope nobody gets whiplash from something so predictable

Only main eventers in NXT I've ever seen dislike towards were Finn (during the era where he'd main event every Takeover, and it'd always be the worst match on the card [still good, just everything else was great]) and Asuka (the last few months where she's won all the times, which has kept the division from anything interesting). Both, like House Show Nakamura, are completely valid complaints, I just think House Show Nakamura will be far more noticeable on the main roster than on NXT.

Yeah, I can't speak for everyone but I personally lost patience after Mania 32. It'd been pretty apparent that 10 months of the year would be regularly erased for the 2 months Mania was the focus, and people were fine with it when that Mania wasn't also 7 hours and had relentlessly pessimistic booking. As is, after that happens, it takes a lot to regain the trust, and at least halfway through this 2-month Mania focus (especially after last night), they still have a long way to go. It's frustrating knowing improvements are possible, and even accomplished, the 90% of the year they don't care about people watching

People think because Nakamura doesn't go all out every single match that makes him lazy or something. When In reality dude is only getting older and has a history of nagging injuries. He happens to be charismatic and over enough that he can have a match where he does almost nothing and still get over. How that is bad I have no idea. If anything that makes him pretty smart to save his best poo poo for big events.
