It's been a pretty eventful few months;
- WM31 receiving record buys and acclaim
- NXT touring across North America
- TNA relaunching
- NJPW debuts in American television
- Lucha Underground's success in the niche market
- Aguayo-Mysterio mishap
Whilst these aren't particularly WWE related, there's obviously been plenty of stuff going on. Has it been a good few months? More of the same? I feel like we've had the odd Raw that has been brilliant, arguably the first "must watch" hour of Raw in a long time (Lesnar wanting a rematch) and NXT has been going from strength to strength. What do you guys wanna see change/happen in the rest of the year?

I've enjoyed it for the most part.
I did see Sting live in person for the first time ever. Not to mention he's one of my favorites.

I can usually put up with a lot of crap from WWE but I'm paying less and less attention to what they are doing this year. It's like each show I go in thinking, "Oh, this might be good!". But it ends up like this...  NXT is awesome! |

Despite the naysayers, I'm liking 2015 so far. The Rumble was great, as was Fast Lane. Wrestlemania 31 was one of the best. Extreme Rules was ok but not bad enough to derail whats been an awesome year so far for the WWE.

It's been alright so far...it just needs more Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman though.
Some of the PPVs (WrestleMania & Extreme Rules) have been pretty good and NXT has been on point with its specials on the Network. Needless to say, I'm excited for the next one next Wednesday.

WrestleMania 31 was amazing so 2015 got that going for it which is nice.

It's been okay. WrestleMania and Wrestle Kingdom are my highlights. Two unbelievable shows.

Pretty great, wrestling quality wise. TNA is the best it's been since like '06. They have a star in ECIII to build on and lots of veterans at the top who are contributing, but not too old to put on a phenomenal match.
WWE is having one of their best (in my opinion) years in over a decade. Probably since the beginning of the brand split, 1998 or 2000-01, it's been full of surprise debuts, rivalries building on past histories and moments which stick out in fans' minds in history.
Brock tearing apart Cole, Rollins cashing in, Neville and Zayn both debuting, the midcard being its strongest in I don't know how long.
Then you have NXT, which is always solid. It gives the feeding system direction, as every debuting star seems like a big deal, and every show of the 'minors' is arguably the best hour of wrestling on TV each week.
ROH is solid. NJPW is shining. LUCHA is growing and who knows what GFW can become. All in all, a good time to be a wrestling fan.

I thought the Rumble was alright, but every PPV since then has been good to great.
Roman vs Bryan was fantastic.
Randy Savage is FINALLY in the HOF.
Enjoying heel Sheamus.
WM31 was a great show from beginning to end.
Rollins cashing in was awesome.
Cena's US open challenges have been a weekly highlight.
NXT is must see TV.
Cesaro/Kidd & New Day have revitalized tag team wrestling.
Ambrose is always entertaining.
Kalisto & Neville have shined on the main roster.
I enjoy the fact that the Divas are getting more time.
Still loving my WWE network.

I can't fathom how some people thought the Royal Rumble was good.
Even with that though, I've enjoyed 2015 so far. Just from a WWE standpoint all the PPVs have been good besides the Rumble. I think WrestleMania 31 is overrated but was still good. Seth Rollins winning the belt was fantastic, though his booking since then has been lackluster. TNA has produced really good TV, what I've been able to see of NJPW has been great and Lucha Underground has been awesome.
Overall, a good year so far though 2014 got off to a better start in my view.

Nothing ever will be... I'm enjoying 2015 quite a bit so far honestly. Sting confrontations and a Sting match, despite the ending. Cena has stepped away from the main focus of the show and they are trying like hell to make it interesting. Sami Zayn showed up on Raw. Neville is on Raw and doing well. All things Seth Rollins are awesome imo, to the point where he's even made Kane moderately interesting to me. We got Cena vs Brock vs Rollins at Rumble, which is still MOTY so far imo. Prime Time Players are back. The Wyatt Family might be back. We're getting Chamber matches for the IC and Tag Titles, which is different in a good way. Ambrose is starting to stick his foot into the main event scene and he's getting pretty damn over after some atrocious booking since the Shield split. I'm enjoying watching Lana get over as well. Other than the injuries, so Zayn, Itami and Bryan, there really isn't too much I have to complain about. I mean sure, WWE still goes through the motions quite a bit but having a champion out there every week that I truly enjoy has made a world of difference towards my interest level. They are putting solid chases around him too. Reigns is still trying to get to that spot, Ambrose should win MITB, and Orton is always a threat and is better than ever as a babyface right now imo. With NXT specifically, I have Enzo and Cass and Balor, who I enjoy as much as anyone on the main roster, and then Kevin Owens and this rivalry with Zayn that has been amazing. I'm enjoying the hell out of Tyler Breeze too. TNA has been pretty great lately. I'm really enjoying The Rising vs the BDC stuff. I thought the Low Ki vs Galloway match specifically was entertaining as hell and built really well. All things Dirty Heels and EC3 are must watch right now. I'm not really that crazy about Spud or what they've done with Angle and EY but that seems to be TNA dealing with their Destination America demands more than anything else. James Storm has been intriguing as hell since he started doing that character. The stuff with Mickie James has been really good because of it. Shame Jeff Hardy got hurt but I'm sure he'll be back in a couple of months and the tag division will keep on keepin' on. |

Hasn't been great, but could have been worse.
- 2015 started out AWFUL with the whole Roman Reigns push. He NEVER should have gotten the title shot in the main event.
- The build up to Sting/Triple H was great, but Triple H winning took all of the air out of it. The Sting character came to WWE for one goal, take down Triple H, and did NOT accomplish that goal.
- The Divas Division is a mess
- Bray Wyatt continues to flounder
- Daniel Bryan has suffered another possible career-ending injury.
On a positive note:
- Seth Rollins has done an excellent job as WWE Champion
- Neville looks great at the main level
- Is WWE finally pushing Dean Ambrose?

It's had a few really, really special moments (Royal Rumble Triple Threat, Wrestlemania, Brock Lesnar in general), but a lot of it has been entirely forgettable thus far, including the build to Wrestlemania itself.
To some extent, that's forgiven because they're very clearly in a transitional phase, establishing the next crop of guys that are going to carry the company for the next ten years (looking at you, Seth Rollins.)
Meanwhile, I've been enjoying the hell out of NXT for the most part.

A handful of great moments otherwise drowning in a sea of directionless mediocrity. Much like the last few years in general.

Terrible
-Worst Royal Rumble/Road to WrestleMania ever
-An overhyped, $10 WrestleMania filled with part-timers with all indications next year will be the same
-The Authority continuing to stink up the shows
-Thin roster resulting in seeing the same matches every week
-TNA looking like they are getting ready to go out of business
