Mainly because this is a figure based forum and a good part of the members collect figures. Hence why we want figures. I don't see how you don't understand it. It's very simple. Now quit trying to piss in people's cereal. Yeah well there's also a whole section based on figure discussions... So any figure comments belong there. You don't see me asking what everyone's favorite match is in the Jakks Figure thread. dude just quit crying that we mention we want a figure of a guy during a discussion on the WWE board. I haven't seen an admin or mod say it's a no no and you seem to be neither an admin or a mod so get over it. |

I'm with him all the way here. Don't think I've watched since WM, and even that was the first show I'd watched in a while. I still check this place out sometimes, and I keep up with all the news and whatnot through Uproxx because it's hard to completely cut ties with something you loved since you were a kid, but holy crap I do not like the things I've read. It's just way too hard for me to continue to invest time and money into a product that consistently proves it has absolutely no intention of giving you anything close to what you actually want. The talent in their current roster- NXT included- is unprecedented. It's just so frustrating.

I stopped watching a good while ago but is it really this bad? Same here, I only read the results to see what's happening, but yeah it's been pretty bad and boring lately. I watch some of the highlights on the website, but since LU went into hibernation I haven't watched a full episode of anything. |

I hate to say it but I too have slowly been removing myself from the current product... stopped watching Smackdown.....Usually watch about 2 or so Raws a month. Its hard to get behind anything right now. There seems to be a mid card hell where a ton of people who should have been main eventing by now are seemingly going nowhere. Dolph Owens Cesaro Ambrose Barrett Stardust New Day Wyatt Harper Rusev Ryback Neville Instead its been the same old guys and now they find themselves in a bind where they have no one full time currently to put over the new stars to make them credible. I wouldn't say it's been the same old guys lately. Sheamus, Ambrose, Rusev, BnB, Owens, and yes Reigns, but he hasn't main evented since Extreme Rules... |

I had the biggest epiphany during the Ronda Rousey/Holly Holm UFC fight. I went to the sports bar in town here and watched it, Everyone thought without a doubt Rousey was going to finish the fight in 30 seconds like she usually does. It was too obvious, Like a John Cena or Roman Reigns match. What happened during that fight was shocking, It was mind blowing seeing the obvious winner getting her ass handed to her, Then when Holms kicked Rouseys head off, The entire sports bar came unglued, It was a legit shocking moment that made me feel happy and excited, I spent the next day replaying that moment in my head repeatedly, i became a legit UFC fan that night. Then 2 days later, I decided to watch Raw. It was clear to me exactly why WWE is failing. There is no shock factor, No excitement. Everyone is going through the motions, We get useless match after useless match. We get the same Authority promo every single opening of Raw. we get the same main event every Raw. PPV's are now on par with a Raw from 2005. Its become a chore to watch. YES! Exactly that man, now that happens very very rarely. Undertaker having the streak broken was awesome to me for that very reason. Now, results or rumours are spoiled, and it's ridiculous. I tried hard avoiding Survivor Series results, going on no wrestling-related sites and stuff, only for some tw@ on Facebook ruining it for me, and a bloody COMIC BOOK TV & MOVIE NEWS SITE, not only spoiling it, but posting the results in the effing title. That really pisses me off. They don't spoil comic book stuff as bad as that (they do in some ways) - but WRESTLING? That has no business being spoiled on their site! |

I still have yet to see an episode of LU, I still gotta check it out sometime. |

This is Vince's flowchart, and this is the problem: Cena . . . . . . . Reigns . . . . EVERYONE ELSE . . . Adam Rose/Bo Dallas/Axel/Sandow/Fandango/Slater Lesnar is above Reigns Actually, I hadn't even really considered the part-timers, but I'd have to disagree. Vince may love the bump Lesnar gives the company, but I still think his wood lies with the chosen one. |

I still have yet to see an episode of LU, I still gotta check it out sometime. I'm a total mark for it but I really do think it's the best wrestling show out there. The wrestling is fast paced and genuinely innovative, the characters are really clearly defined and all have something to do (which, considering the depth of their roster, is no lean feat to accomplish in an hour a week), the booking was literally flawless for the entire first season and - my favourite bit about it, despite others being a bit turned off by it - it really embraces the fact that it's fiction by having very cinematic cut scenes with multiple camera angles like in any other acted show (none of this cringe worthy fly-on-the-wall crap) - so much so that the commentators don't even react to what the cut scenes tell us. Anyway, enough from me about it. You should definitely check it out man. |

I haven't watched it since Extreme Rules this year, and I have never been happier, wrestling made me depressed.

It's frustrating as all the ingredients are there but it's so poorly booked and against what a lot of fans want to see. It could be so great but archaic minds like Vince's and pandering yes men like Dunn just ruin it for everyone who isn't an 8 year old Cena fan. I really hope nxt gets put onto live TV but even that goes through weird blips. Such a shame as when they get it right with the in ring stuff, promos, characters all mixed in with their production values its amazing stuff periodically but it's 5% of the time, no consistency and a focus on guys with builds instead of talent.
I just hope hhh takes over sooner rather than later and keeps to the same plan he has stuck by with nxt but you never know, with greater responsibility he may try to play it safe. Who knows.
I do have a theory that Vince is doing his best to mess his baby up as much as possible without going broke so that the next boss coming in really struggles then Vince can sit there smugly smiling. We all know he is that kind of petty twisted person. **** Vince.

It's almost Christmas. He'll be back to play Santa. I almost hate how accurate this is. |

I guess this is that annual period where everybody claims to lose interest and switch off, knowing that The Rumble and the climb towards 'Mania is imminent.
