This is one of the most apt descriptions of the product I've ever heard.

The metaphor falls apart, however, because the planes keep loving coming for some god-forsaken reason.

Convenience is the common excuse, like there's one single streaming service on the planet and it's the one for the company with bi-annual trips to saudi and a seat in the trump administration, and the planes keep saying you're the rear end in a top hat for not funding it with a smile on your face like them

I think I saw Sami do it one time? Or maybe it was even Charlotte? Sometime during 2014. I only remember this because that’s when I learned why they do the drop down thing, which I had never had context for prior.

When someone does it to Samoa Joe, he always sort of stumbles over it which is how I learned the reason for it.

I always appreciate that he does that even if it does not lead to a moment where he goes down.

I pretty much never watch anymore but I swear every time I read the results I might as well be reading the same results from 3 years ago, is that accurate? Like a few new wrestlers thrown into the mix but all of these shows sound exactly the same. The girls are always having gang warfare for some reason and claiming the others don’t have friends, the shield are switching off who’s in the midcard and who’s in the main event, Brock Lesnar comes back whenever he wants, groups are split up or people turn on each other for no reason and then just reuinite within months anyway, and everybody trades off wins 50/50 before they move on to do the same thing with someone else after doing that for like 6 months straight

Being a firm believer in the possibility of personal transformation within every person, I hesitate to definitely rule out the chance of a reconciliation. But, to paraphrase Carl Sagan, extraordinary claims (of a change of heart) require extraordinary evidence, so I wouldn’t go making any bets on it

I think this might be why I tuned out

There used to be a new story like every quarter on top, for better or worse

Dean and Seth, though not for the top belts, was the top story until it got derailed into bray
And you had Daniel Bryan doing his thing
And shield running over the roster
And cena was at least usually fighting someone new every couple months
Or here comes Kane to do some dumb corporate bullshit

But the past 2+ years have been nothing but loving Brock and Roman and Roman and Brock with a few speed bumps along the way and romans getting another title shot oh he got punked out it’s okay he’ll whine for two months until Brock shows up again and this is the entirety of the A plot for raw for now and forever

I think Brock showing back up at Hell in a Cell was my breaking point. I think I'm finally ready to call it quits with this awful company.

I 'watched' Raw and Smackdown this week but I slept through half of Raw and spent most of Smackdown playing Smash Brothers. I think they've finally broke me enough that I just don't care anymore.

What a lovely, awful company this has become.

They made those 6 months of only wrestling against 2 guys really fly by. I like how Raw was so thin at that time Roman was chasing the universal title immediately following the night he won the US title and half the time he wouldn’t even walk to the ring with it. Still better than Bobby Roode’s US title run tho.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
