I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

It's been said before and said often but it is astounding how WWE can make anything and everything it does so lame and uncool.

Not bad, (which it often is as well), but just eye rollingly UnCool.

I think it is because they try so hard, but with so little creativity and/or energy to be cool. But their idea of being cool is to badly mimic something that was cool 20 years ago, but miss the point of why it was cool in the first place, so instead copy the wrong parts.

For example: If WWE were to run a "grunge" gimmick, they would think that the cool part of Grunge music was the checked shirts. So would have a character called "Flannel Fred" who constantly says he is from Seattle. They will then be baffled when this doesn't get over and say "why? this is exactly the same as that thing you liked?"

Thunderdome is really almost a good idea- it’s “hey, we’ll have fans but nobody’s in danger” but then you realize that you can’t do anything to stop people putting whatever they want on their feed

According to the F4W recap, Breezango have been given the power to assemble tag teams themselves as a "wildcard" to pick their next competitors?

I'm so, so over Ciampa, Gargano, and Undisputed Era. Some combination of them have been in the upper-midcard title feuds for what feels like a decade by now. I'm past the point of even caring if they have good matches.

Results are literally just summarized from F4W (which is why the link to detailed results is there), I legitimately forget most weeks that NXT is even on till like an hour into Dynamite, because why would anybody watch NXT over Dynamite?
