Usually the RAW after Wrestlemania is the best of the year. Will give them the opening segment to see what they bring. Reading reviews from the weekend, seems they have a bunch of mismatched tag teams and dead end storylines. 

 

Was watching a clip from the SCSA and Jericho podcast and Jericho said something interesting about how right before he came to WWE they had the Rock and Austin both as these huge figures (probably with Taker and even HHH/DX then). How rare it was to have multiple must-see guys.

 

Right now they have none. The roster is bottom heavy with guys who are haven't developed that it factor with the crowd on the mic or with their performances. So, you get what they did this weekend. Another huge guy beating up Shane.

Made it 30min last night. Terrible.

 

Opened with Lashley beating up that 80s/early 80s Bro-Dude Riddle. Those Viking guys apparently were gone for a while and came back for a tag thing. Then Charlotte Flair came out to complain about not being respected.

 

Then I stuck with the Nats and felt good with the decision. 

 

WWE has a weird problem where most of "the look" guys (Lashley, Strowman, usually Lesner, etc)  have terrible mic skills and all the jobber looking guys (KO, Bray Wyatt, etc) work the mic with skill.

 

10 to 15 years ago "the look" guys like Rock, Triple H, and Cena all worked the mic with skill.

The answer to the problem posted above is either steroids for the guys who look like ****, cocaine for the guys with ****ty mic skills, or in an ideal world steroids and cocaine for everybody. Wrestling was soooooo much better when everybody was on steroids and cocaine.

Sure seems like they don't have a plan. 

 

If AEW wants to add a 2nd show per week (like Saturday Night), there isn't a lack of recognizable talent to fill both programs. 

 

Maybe ditiching long term contracts before a possible sale????

Just what some are speculating. Not sure how much Vince actually does these days tbh. 

Guessing he shows up at Raw/Smackdown, rips up the planned storylines, renames a few wrestlers, then fires them when nothing makes sense a week later.

Yeah this is strange. You think this is just legal mumbo Jumbo, since he was booked as the Fiend, as of late, and they wanna try to keep that gimmick?

 

There are rumors going around that they are cutting the budget so that the company can be sold. I dunno, crazy times.
