Why the hell does Smackdown have a Rollins vs Ambrose match? What the **** is supposed to be Sandow's new gimmick? Why Reigns vs Kane?

WWe are a bunch of clowns. Just get rid of Smackdown, it's such a waste of time atm.

listening to Cornette ramble on about stuff on Youtube. Just so entertaining.

Ha, I thought it was a bit rich that she basically said that the role of her on screen character was to help put over other people...but then didn't acknowledge the fact that she's spent the last several years emasculating pretty much everyone on the roster without them ever getting any revenge.

 

[sledger]

Shame she wasn't pressed for her thoughts on CM Punk too.

 

[duffer]

Yeah, just finished listening to it, pretty tame/lame. I should stop buying into the hype regarding these "network specials."

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah that was pretty boring. Should've just been an hour long in-kayfabe interview with y2j constantly calling Steph a ho.

WWE really needs someone like Jeff Hardy back in full flow.

What, showing up to a title defence coked to the eyeballs and literally unable to work?

I used to be a huge Jeff Hardy fan, but WWE today has a multitude of better high-fliers who are better workers than Jeff could ever be. I mean, what does Jeff do these days? Jump off tall things and, erm, not much else?

Ha ha. Don't know when that happened. Was that in TNA??

Jeff does get you engaged more than the newer guys though. I mean, Reigns aside, giving a **** about these people is becoming really difficult. The thing that really pisses me off is how they have devalued finishing moves. Stupid as **** nowadays.

 

[Dan]

Have you watched NXT? Zayn and Owens are masters at making you give a ****. Rollins, Ambrose and Ziggler are good at it too IMO. And Bryan, ofc.

 

[Spikey]

watching the rollins-ambrose highlights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITmBd-aD97I) and lol at seth lining up for a crubstomp. wag

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hardy was overrated as **** and is the last thing WWE need. They have no shortage of talent at all... they just have no idea how to use them.

Rollins, Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose, Owens, Neville, Harper, Ce-mother****ing-saro, etc are all phenomenal.

And the one guy you mention is Reigns... woah

 

[harsh.ag]

They are good, and in fact yeah, they have better in-ring skills. But it's not as engaging as it used to be. The storylines suck. Plus, as I said, the finishing moves being devalued has really killed it for me. Doesn't make for good viewing. Rollins sucks balls dude. This whole thing of making any newbie champion is really hurting WWE imo, Ambrose is great, but again the rivalries just aren't that good. Bryan is just being wasted.

The finshing moves thing is something lots of people are saying, but I don't really have too much of a problem with it. It's pretty obvious to me that this new style of finisher kickouts happening more often has coincided directly with NXT's faster style becoming immensely popular because of all those indie guys coming in. I think WWE is slowly moving into that crazy-match-finish style that is more prevalent in some of the indies and it'll take a while before fans accept it. Also, the in ring action right now is at a far higher level than any time in WWE history except early-mid 2000s when Smackdown was off the charts.

Rollins sucks balls dude.

He is good. But again, the last 5 years have seen numerous newbies coming up to become champion just like that, which is ridiculous imo. And Rollins pisses me off because of that underlying trend. Great in-ring skills.

In-ring action nowadays is better, definitely. But that doesn't mean anything if you don't couple it with good storylines and rivalries. Also, one of the reasons for downfall is that they never replaced JR!
