WWE in Fall 2024/Winter 2025: Anyone still watching?

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hey man, they gotta have something to fill time on that first day of Mania.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I feel fucked with by Speed: WWE fans created a whole organic movement around the idea of giving the women more than three minutes in the ring and, nine years later, WWE has a series built around the concept trying to win matches in three minutes or less.

But at least it's not just the women, so... yay equality?

I’m someone who didn’t have wildest dreams. I’m someone who, for the longest time, didn’t believe I deserved them.

I’m sure it has been done before, and I understand why it was done the way it was, but that New Day segment was the first big heel turn I can ever remember that involved zero physicality. Woods and Kingston berate Big E for 10 minutes and tell him to get lost…and that’s it.

I watched it and I didn't like it. I'm very negative on the product so maybe It's just outright not for me. What is the pay off here? Big E is never going to be able to work again. Kofi and Xavier turning heel might be fresh for a few months before everyone realizes they've seen this for 10 years already and Big E is never going to get revenge. All we got was them shitting all over a guy everyone genuinely loves and tarnishing a positive thing for a lot of fans.

The amount of talking on Raw in general is just a total turnoff. I know this isn't new but when you don't watch for months at a time and check back in it's shocking. The entire show is talking and bullshit finishes in 5 minute matches it feels like.

Jesse Ventura confirms during his interview with Bill Simmons that he will be on commentary for SNME.

WWE and A&E have announced they’ll be starting a new reality competition show called LFG similar to Tough Enough with Mickie James, Booker T, Bubba Dudley, Taker and Michaels serving as trainers and mentors.

Oh man they got the olds who treasure the grind.

What's the Regal/Punk beef?

[Fall of Epic]

Punk allegedly confronted Regal after his AEW and called him a HHH stooge. There were rumors that Regal conned Tony into giving him an early release so he could go back to WWE.

Random fact that made me feel old: When Saturday Night’s Main Event airs this weekend, it will end a hiatus for the show (2008-2024) that was longer than the first one (1992-2006).

Gotta be the winged eagle, right?

 

[Tino Standard]

Certainly seems like it. Sucks that it will only be a one-night deal, though.

My gut tells me it’s a set up for Owens to steal the title and claim it as his or for him to destroy the belt ala Perfect.
