I have no idea what I'm watching.

I don't think WWE are concerned themselves with the old school face/heel alignment anymore and haven't been for a long time, more that they are concerned that the wrestlers are getting a reaction. They do though need to be consistent with the wrestlers characters so when they pair them up with...

I think the Mania card will be very strong on its own. With NXT having their own event before Mania, I don't think this will happen at all. Probably one day though.

I'd like them to change up the stipulation on it from time to time, they can easily make it so Wrestlemania becomes a Triple Threat one year, or Fatal Fourway. Maybe one time we could get the winner having to use his title shot at Fastlane. I do think though that the Fastlane PPV is more...

Gotta agree with GSB here. The WWE Network is a vehicle that WWE are using to drive new revenues. The trends in cable and programming are quite clear, it's shifting to a new paradigm of content on demand with online services. WWE are using NXT as a selling point for the network, and they will be...

Or fans that are actually bothered by this could exercise some self control and not try to involve themselves in all the backstage stuff. Can't really have it both ways.

Bret Hart's opinions on this are a good 30 years old, as others have said. I don't see how it's hypocrisy at all, do people who honestly think this, think the same of another actor on a TV show that plays a villain, but does charitable work? Come on. If kids can't understand that what they...

I just wanted to clear up that I was comparing the scripted Vince remarks to Hogan, not comparing Trump to Hogan in any way. As a wrestling fan, generally, I'd get rid of the Celebrity Wing myself, regardless of the politics or the person behind them. Or at least, have them as 'honorary'...

Don't be so ridiculous. Massive, massive difference between scripted use of the word for entertainment (tasteless or not) and what Hogan did.

This is a great thread. I don't agree with having to "know" what you are getting by the gimmick of the PPV, to me it devalues the weekly TV Shows and build up and encourages lazy booking. Money in the Bank is a great concept but could be freshened up by not making it a 6-8 man match that it...

Russo is a hat. But on to his points, and I'll respect that the OP (claims) to be discussing the points made by Russo, rather than defending the man himself: Not every NXT star will be, or needs to be, a main event Draw. It didn't make sense to me why Russo was attacking Zayn personally...

Don't really understand why sexual content in WWE (whether its chants or TV content) is deemed as sexist and objectifying. It's frankly ridiculous and PC nonsense. Is it degrading because its women, or is it just degrading? Did you feel less of a man when Jeff Hardy was the object of desire for...

"politic more for his spot", "we did all the pushing and shoving", I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Not a fan of Reigns v Brock either but some of the self entitlement is just absolutely ridiculous. The Rumble sucked because it was booked like crap. Not because Reigns won. But because...

Somebody showed me their list of Wrestlemania 31 matches, and a lot of them with the top talent were singles matches. I had wondered whether if the Rock could be accommodated we could end up with Rock & Sting vs HHH & Batista. I know Batista left on acrimonious terms with HHH in kayfabe, but...

I love the Network personally. The #CancelWWENetwork just because of the Rumble I thought was a bit of an affront to an outstanding title match, and that alone made the PPV worth it in my opinion
