I just watched the Royal Rumble match.The level of wrestling was atrocious.At least pretend that there is a fight going on.The ending was obvious from the moment Randy Orton went off injured and the cameras kept on zooming to him during the match.WWE during attitude era was all about surprises and now they fail to muster any.Wrestlers keep on getting promoted and dropped without any meaningful run.For me the most important thing is how close to reality they can bring the matches.I didn't realize till i was 15 that the matches were not real but now a days any kid can point out that the entire thing is fake.This entire thing is reflecting in the declining TV ratings of Raw and Smackdown.I won't be surprised if 10years down the line the company goes bust.Come on Edge can still deliver good matches. Go watch last year's Backlash. It was Top 10 matches of the year. Last single match Kane had in Rumble 2018 was also good enough. Christian's return is a one time thing. And Goldberg was never actually a technical wrestling. Give him squash matches. He will do fine. I prefer him staying retired though. New Japan uses legends during Wrestle Kingdom every year. No one complaints there as your busy distracted watching 9 hours of wrestling, lol.
Problem with whole of WWE including NXT is them trying to be like NJPW, AEW, Indies etc. Seriously trim down those 20-30 minute matches to 10-15 matches. Trying watching any AEW pay per view. It will suck the life out of you with 40-50 minutes matches.
The only way they can deliver better product is bringing back brand split pay per views. With crowd gone. They don't need to worry about low crowd attendence. Yet, deliver an amazing product.
Yup As the Undertaker said the product is "Too soft" nowadaysdidn't realize till i was 15 that the matches were not real but now a days any kid can point out that the entire thing is fake.
Partially it is down to the regulations which barred usage of chairs,no blood etc.But storyline has been the biggest culprit.It took me days to digest that Brian Pillman had won Golddust's wife in a fightYup As the Undertaker said the product is "Too soft" nowadays
PG era is one of the worse things happened to wwe and like Punk said this company would be better after Vince's D!!th....Partially it is down to the regulations which barred usage of chairs,no blood etc.But storyline has been the biggest culprit.It took me days to digest that Brian Pillman had won Golddust's wife in a fight
