So we're halfway through the year. What grade does WWE get so far?

I gave it C-. The wrestling matches themselves are still very good, NXT is still awesome and WrestleMania was a pleasant surprise for how good that was... But, there are some big things weighing the grade down. Butchering the Rumble again to the point where it now needs a majority fan favourite to win next year basically to save the concept, a lot of long-term injuries to popular talent and the usual storyline and push malaise are the main things.

C-. The guys are trying there best, but the production is still stale and 99% of what happens on their 100 billion hours of TV doesn't matter a day later.

I'll give it a...C-. The main roster shows aren't horrible and I like NXT. The format needs an overhaul ASAP like Rocky though.

If not for NXT, Brock, Owens, Cesaro, Cena, plus Ambrose, Bryan, Rusev and Rollins at times, it would be an F
Sad how they have the best roster ever (based on talent), but 80% of the product needs an overhaul BADLY
Gave a C-, booking is beyond terrible, plenty of good-to-great matches though

C-. It'd be higher if not for the Authority dragging the show down.

I gave it a D. The wrestling can be five star matches across the board, but if the storylines are shit, people are going to do other things. Look at the ratings.

D
Good
I really liked WM for the first time in ages (yeah I wasn't as fond of WM30 as most)
NXT - They've dealt with the call-ups/injuries well
Lots of great matches
The rise of Owens, New Day and a few others
Bad
The Authority/local men ruining everything*, just stop.
How do you f*** up the rumble two years in a row?
The handling of Reigns pre-WM
The normal writing, booking and format issues
The mess WWE and Sky made of the network launch
*WWE is like a sandwich.
The parts I like are the tasty filling.
The bread is The Authority opening and closing all shows (and the general production).
It doesn't matter how nice the filling is if everything surrounding it is stale.
Hmm...I need to work on this simile but you get the point.

C+ for the wrestling and NXT in general. It'd be much higher if any of the angles and storylines were anything to write home about.
