Current era is a split personality, good-great matches but really boring everything else but sadly that everything else takes up the majority of the shows.
Guest host era was way worse, that was all awful

I wouldn’t say embarrassing. I would say most frustrating. And not even half the scope of that statement has to do with the actual product(s) themselves.

Drugging someone to marry them, corpse f***ing, potential use of human sacrifices and hanging a man are worse than Lashley and his sisters.

Nowhere near. There’s a lot more good than bad going on right now. There’s also wider options of wrestling to watch, with much easier access to watch it than there used to be. WWE is making crazy money, the indies are making good money. Sure, there’s going to be some crap every once in a while, but that happens with every form of entertainment. Like others previously said, 10 years ago was much worse.

The only time I was truly embarassed was Brisco vs Patterson.
That was the only time I genuinely said to myself, 'I could be doing anything in life but I'm watching this...'

What's really sad?
Nobody has even bothered to mention the Diva Search yet.
Christy Hemme's Hungry Ass and some of the wicked shit they said re : Carmella DeCesare.

Nope. It's weirdly enough looking up.

Nothing is as bad as post boom WWE. Where they were still doing the Attitude era stuff but all of the casual fans left and as soon as you showed them anything that occurred you felt awful about yourself. Peak had to be Katie Vick, that has to be one of the lowest points in wrestling history if you're a fan. Just imagine if that was your only exposure to wrestling? Yeah it's hard to overstate how bad post-boom WWE was. Their crash TV audience had moved on but they were trying to push that stuff even harder than before. It was like a guy doing shots on the bar at 2 am after they've already turned the lights on and everyone left.

Anyone who isn't just shouting KATIE VICK, KATIE VICK, KATIE VICK repeatedly in this thread must have missed that time period.

I would say for me it's embarrassing 70% of the time minimum. In 2009, it reached about 95%. I too would rather have been caught jerking off than be caught watching wrestling ten years ago. In fact, I'll even go one step further. I would rather have been caught jerking off to an episode of "The Golden Girls" muted with Michael Bolton's "Time, Love & Tenderness" playing on the radio by my grandmother who then promptly dies from a heart attack caused by the shock of the situation. Now you may be thinking to yourself, 'Boy, that's a really specific description you made there. I'm starting to think this actually happened.' And you'd be half right. Hey now, Blanche episodes are fair game.

The gift the Katie Vick segment gave us is the ability to say "at least it isn't corpse f***ing" to anything the WWE does, ever.

No. It's still not 2009-2010 when Bradley Cooper walked out and shamed an entire crowd for enjoying wrestling and slapped a grandma. I only made up half of that, I think. I am now picturing that happening. Only Bradley is Rocket Raccoon. Every adult's wrestling is always going to be "better" than their kids' wrestling, in their eyes. Bet Bruno fans thought everything I loved as a Hogan fan was silly too.

While there have objectively been worse eras.
Attitude era was most juvenile, Guest Host Era was the most desperate, Reign of Terror was the most boring. I will say this era is part of a continuing trend of wrestling being really lame to the general public. Also, the PR era seems really desperate, especially when Steph does a press conference with her Shere Khan struggle smile. Yes, it's been a punchline for much of the recent decades, but now just feels like a rn especially rough time to say you're a fan.

I lived through an era where a grown-up man discovers his pirate heritage and stole Bret's jacket, just because!
But grown-up man Bret was angry because his mom stitched it for him.
Then they fought!
In retrospect, Jean Pierre should have said,"Martha" during the match with Bret Hart stopping the assault and saying, "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!?" and became friends.

To be fair, this is where Brock Lesnar works as the champion.
He shows up, is a legit badass, and all the silliness washes away if a non-fan or worse, a hater, is watching.
