Better Living Through Birding And Pessimism

The dumbest thing about 205 is that the obvious solution to getting crowds more into it is letting them have exciting cruiserweight matches that are different from the rest of the WWE.

Yeah but the goal of having most of the cruiserweight talents is so other promotions can't have them as opposed to actually wanting to get them over.

Random Raws from 1993-1996 so that by comparison today's WWE seems amazing and you stop complaining

Damien Demento is in every loving show for like 2 years I swear

You can't compare those Raws to what today's Raws are like. Back then the bigger matches happened fewer and farther between in general. There wasn't supposed to be a big meaningful main event every week and most of it was like Superstars except at night. And there were just a few big PPVs a year and that's where the big matches and stuff were supposed to happen. But the ratings wars changed that and brought about the idea of promoting big things every week.

Back then you had mostly jobber matches on and you LIKED it cause you got to see your favorite wrestlers go out there and do their stuff.

Not that a lot of those shows weren't terrible just the fan mindset going into them was different.
