NXT has been awesome so far this year. And since the reboot and the start of the tournament, so has 205 Live.

Its seriously impressive how much more of a role Raw has given the women's division in the last couple of months. People like to mock MAKING HISTORY, but there have been legitimate and substantial changes for the good, and its exciting to see where they'll go from here. If we’re being honest, the posts that were nothing but “HISTORIC!” in regards to stuff about the direction the women division has gone always came across as dismissive as the attitudes about the women wrestlers that sparked the Women’s Revolution in the first place.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the matches themselves, and more to do with the abysmal commentary saying it over and over to drive the point in every few minutes. It's the same reason people ridicule them for saying things like "BOSS TIME," "BIG DAWG," or "Survivor Series is the one time a year that RAW and Smackdown go head to head in competition". It's not the performers' faults, it's Vince forcing commentary to treat the audience like toddlers.

It was really more of a shot at how WWE threw "HISTORIC!" around as a buzzword and beat it into the ground. Just like they have Cole (among other mouthpieces) beat EVERYTHING into the ground.

This 100% I'm ELATED *Rusev voice* for the women, but really it's just making fun of the obnoxious commentary.

I went to a Smackdown house show last night and it was a really fun time. It was my first time seeing Rusev since the Rusev Day stuff started and my God it was amazing to hear how nuts the crowd went for him. The opening match was a 4 way tag match between New Day, Usos, Rusev and English, and Shelton and Gable. All 9 guys out there were clearly having a blast and it was great to see. New Day was rocking out to the Usos' music. Xavier did a hilarious spot where he got punched and stumbled around the ring like 6 times before doing the Flair Flop.

I genuinely am entertained by Smackdown. Yeah the Sami/KO/Shane/Bryan stuff has been a bit of a mess, but outside of that I think Smackdown has done a very good job of rejuvenating itself. Still needs a bit more depth on the roster, but I like the show.
Alexa Bliss is gold at whatever they have her do. Not the greatest wrestler in the world, but she is a great heel foil.
Braun is money.
Miz is money.
I think the biggest issue for WWE right now is that they're still trying to push Roman as an underdog, and they have too many guys just treading water. But overall I think it's a solid product

I really enjoy the following superstars:
New Day Rusev Day Braun Elias Drew Gulak The Uso's The Miz Alexa Bliss
AJ Styles Heel Sami Zayn I'm looking forward to Sasha vs Bayley.
This is the first time I've ever been really excited about the Women's Division with their actual in-ring product.
I took a break from watching Raw and Smackdown and was able to enjoy last night's show because of it.

Regardless of build, I feel like AJ/Nakamura is going to tear the house down at Mania. They have awesome chemistry and I have no doubt in my mind I'll be happy with that match when it's all said and done. I hope I can eventually say that about the other matches on the card.

I really go out of my to watch Miz's stuff. He's consistent and it helps that he seems like a decent dude. Times are shitty and it's nice to have someone to root for.
