I’m so f***ing happy. Smackdown in 2016-2017 was awesome. Since he came in, it’s been the drizzling shits. Road Dogg was in that same position when SDL was great from 2016-2017. It's only that people found out later and then they started trashing him as if he just joined when really no, he had been doing things. If im.not.mistaken he was co lead with a guy from NXT but then Road Dogg got up with managemente and became the main writer. Whatever happened with that guy anyway?

Oh come on people. Smackdown was only really bad from the 2017 shakeup to the 2018 one

Crazy that just over the week, two people quit and one guy almost comes damn near quitting. WWE must be stressful behind the scenes.

As long as people continue complain about the product while watching it instead of changing the channel, cancelling their subscription, and not streaming shows nothing will ever change. You could have the greatest writer, booker, and agents behind all of the angles, with Vince remaining in charge and demanding constant rewrites at the last minute it will turn into the same predictable mess it's been for years.
It's time for people to literally use their voice by changing the channel and closing their wallets.

I've mentioned it before but you kinda have to wonder how many WM weekend casualties we don't hear about considering how long and stressful the week is. It's only getting longer too, that's what's wild.

I hear that Superstar Billy Graham has a few ideas for a quality wrestling production. Maybe they'll give him a chance.

Road Dogg was kind of an idiot on Twitter, but I'm sure like, 90% of Smackdown's creative problems are on Vince McMahon and Road Dogg was the convenient whipping boy.

Prowrestlingsheet is reporting something different than what PWI is saying and they even reference PWI's original article.

Maybe it’s because he mentioned Vince McMahon at the HOF.

It's time for people to literally use their voice by changing the channel and closing their wallets. It's always the same old song and dance but the post-Mania shows were both hugely down from last year. THis is already happening and things still aren't really changing. This is a ship Vince will go down with, make no mistake about it. You can say "Not enough people" are tuning out, but enough people are. Nowhere else would this kind of decline be looked at as just how things are.

I next blamed Road Dogg, we all know Vince is the one to blame.

My favourite Road Dogg tweet was one unrelated to WWE, him calling out Priscilla Kelly for the tampon spot and basically saying crude shit has no place in wrestling. You know, the guy that used to simulate anal-sex on his opponents.

You can have Brian Michael Bendis and Christopher Nolan write Raw and Smackdown respectively and it'll be like it's been written by a soap writer who never made it to head writer once Vince gets his hand on their scripts.

I would be terribly curious to see what a first draft, "Pre-Vince" script for any given Raw looks like, I'll admit.
