That show last night was terrible. Properly one of the worst I’ve seen. More because of the complete misplacement of talent all over the show and the way they throw Hardy v Naka away is just indicative of where they are now. They throw good talent and potential in the bin regularly. Why bother.

Only let down on the show for me was the finish to the main event. Felt like something you would see on an episode of RAW or SD.

Felt defeated after Rollins lost the triple threat last night...ever since the gauntlet match back in Feb, I thought they were building Rollins up for a Universal title shot. Wishful thinking I guess

I quite enjoy the current product. I don't watch Raw or Smackdown, but one of the company's finest assets is its video production team, so thanks to their diligent efforts, I'm never at a loss for what's going on when I watch the PPVs each month. I watch NXT on a weekly basis to get my fix, which is consistently wonderful, but I'm able to go about my week not feeling oversaturated.

I couldnt sit threw 3 hours of Raw and then 2 hours of Smackdown a week.

Today's WWE, I hardly watch. I mean I'll watch the last half hour of RAW since I work most Monday nights. Once in a blue moon I'll watch Smackdown in full. I'm too lazy to watch NXT on the archive after it aired. The most wrestling I've watched this year has been NJPW. This is the first year that I do not ask for the night of Summerslam off from work. That's how disinterested I am with the main roster today where I could care less about watching one of the big 4 PPVs. Now I asked for NXT Takeover Brooklyn off cause I have hardly ever been disappointed for the Takeover shows. The London show I think is the only one I did not really enjoy. I just have barely any reason to care about the product, the majority of the wrestlers. I would say things would change if audience goes down, but currently their attendance is down, ratings are at record lows, yet WWE has found a way to make money, so the product takes a back seat. I really don't know when things will change, but I still got NJPW, I got the Network where I can watch the territories that I wasn't alive to watch, I got clips of the indies. I can get my wrestling fix elsewhere.

The problem with WWE is that each year it gets more and more corporate and this is especially true of recent years. The Conor's cure, the breast cancer pink, the latest humanitarian award and all the other corporate necessities it participates in just waters the product down more and more. Everything is so cookie cutter perfect at the moment that it's hard to bear at times.
Atleast with NXT and 205 the focus is on the wrestling alot more than Raw and Smackdown. Ill still watch the PPV's but good God how people sit through Raw and then Smackdown is beyond me.

There's just as much good as there is bad. Most of it is SmackDown related but regardless. Raws in a pretty rough spot right now.

Profits are up so obviously not. Maybe from the figure collecting community, but in general, obviously not.
