I'll never understand when people complain that NXT isn't a true developmental anymore. Like would they rather watch green as grass PC trainees stumble their way through a match?

As a fan watching at home with no financial investment in the company I could not care less how much money the NXT brand generates. As long as they put on solid matches with somewhat decent story lines that's all I care about. Besides, nothing can prepare someone for the main roster as long as it's run by a crazy old man.

On last Wednesday's NXT:


This guy goes on to rant about people doing flips in matches and the lack of big dudes getting pushes.

Also:


NXT storylines are not complex. But wrestling storylines in general should not be complex. It almost never ends well.

By the way: That guy's favorite moment from this year is Becky Lynch getting hit with End of Days, to the point of where he has it as his signature apparently. Because he thinks there should be more man on woman violence because "think of the heat it would add!!!" :v:

Wrestle Forum is a goldmine of bad opinions.

How can someone who watches WWE main roster poo poo possibly think that NXT storylines are over complicated??

Honestly I think Shane's push and Corbin's were what stopped me from watching WWE week to week. Those 3 minute YouTube recaps are like a godsend.

Complaining about people "taking their ball and going home" will always be stupid as gently caress. These people realize you're allowed to leave a job if you're not happy right? You don't owe your employer poo poo.

What percentage of people who complain about Japanese wrestling with the spotfest/no story thing have never watched NJPW or only watched one big show and expected to know what was going on. It's like 100% right.

Granted I am in the "only really watch the G1 and Wrestle Kingdom" camp but I don't go around complaining that half the show isn't spent telling me why anything is important because it's good enough on its own for me to not really care.

Storytelling to these people is coming out and rambling for 20 plus minutes and then having a match that's basically the same as every other match on the show.

Has wait and see ever ever paid in the world of wrestling? For the life of me I can't think of a single WWE angle that started lovely and was worth while in the end. Also I'd bet good money that there's no real follow up to the Liv thing and she spends the next few months hitting on random women on raw.

For sure. Bad taste is certainly a thing. Mega Powers explode is good soap opera. Rusev, Lana, and Lashley, being in a typical cuck angle is tasteless as gently caress.

Keep in mind those two had history built up, Elizabeth didn't just show up one day and start making out with Hogan. There's no story to Lana and Lashley it's just shock for the sake of shock.

I feel like with Hogan, you have to offset the number of people he drew with how many careers he ruined (or at least blunted) with politicking and how he helped run two promotions into the ground.

I'm baffled by the people that think she's a once in a lifetime breakout star. While I don't find her matches all that interesting I will admit she is a capable wrestler, but she lacks anything that could possibly make her a star outside of wrestling. Especially considering she's the daughter of one of the most popular wrestler of all time, but has no of the qualities that made her father a star.

It's so sad to watch him say "Do you know who follows me?". Lots of celebs follow fans for the PR. Several famous comedians follow me, like my tweets, etc. Doesn't mean anything.

I can't imagine being a functional adult and making Twitter the only thing that matters in life. Let alone wrestling Twitter.
