I honestly...

[Push R Truth]

I honestly couldn't tell you who is on the Smackdown Brand or the RAW Brand anymore outside of the main champions. The Wildcard rule basically turned off the two brain-cells I had processing that information.

I also used to be able to rattle off the lineage of the main titles. Now I honestly couldn't even tell you that last 5 champs correctly. And it's not like I watch less WWE. I watch every PPV and about 75% of the normal TV shows.



Are there any other bits of information in the WWE that you used to know right off the top of your head that you no longer have a clue about?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

For me, it was either memorise the rosters and champions, or learn to ride a bike. I made my choice, and I stand by it.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

The Wildcard idea is awful, whoever came up with it should be jailed for 40 years and denied visitors.

See if anyone ever comes up with anything like it again after that.

I think they should announce at the start of the show who the Wildcard’s are that way it might be easier to understand. But since sometimes there’s more than the actual amount (3 or 4?) it’s incredibly confusing.

Entrance Music. I used to be able to tell you who was coming out within the first second of any song. Now I have no clue what song most of the roster uses.

I'm usually pretty good at this but when Cedric came out the past few weeks, I couldn't tell you who was coming out. 

[Pushed to the Moon]

I've lost track of what happened at specific PPVs. Even WrestleMania's since they stopped having numbers. Everything has blended together.

[Bub (BLM)]

I only watch occasionally now mostly to enjoy the live threads, and this past SummerSlam, I had no idea who was where.

What if I told you it's as simple as looking at the graphic that comes up for each wrestler and the answer is right there?

[The 1Watcher Experience]

I can’t even tell you what happened Monday or Tuesday night. Nothing feels important or memorable anymore. I used to know all the themes, all the title histories, all the PPV cards and their results. Not anymore. Even Manias are forgettable now. I miss the days of when the world champion was in the main event. There was a huge match to promote with a big fight feel for the top title. Now we have two of them and one on the line in the opening match while the other is in the upper midcard. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. When WWE stops caring so will their fans and we’re seeing that more and more each year.

If the brand split really does go back into full effect in October they need to do a full-on draft again. f*** the superstar shakeup; dump every name in a hat and split them up completely again.

The Royal Rumble had me confused as shit. I must have asked “Wait... who’s this?” about 5 times.

[Starshine]

Here's my thing when it comes to WWE. If they don't give enough of a shit to remember a lot of this stuff, then why should I?

[Redbeard's Ghost]

I remember being a kid and rattling off the title histories to my friends. That was when Hogan was still in his first title run. I knew them all, who they beat, the year, where it happened, etc. Tag belts were always tough but now I don't even know the true lineage of the tag belts, they've merged/ended/introduced so many versions. That US Title is a sham.

It does help me remember that Daniel Bryan is on Velocity since it's green. 

[Kyle Butler]

I remember them making a huge deal about AJ finally coming to Raw and Roman being on SmackDown. Also, Elias being the biggest acquisition in SmackDown history (lol) and Finn Bálor’s shirt going from red to blue. Other than that, no clue

[Deleted]

Every show is so similar and everything matters so little that I'm not sure I could correctly tell you which matches happened on Raw and which were on Summerslam. It all blends together, and nothing matters.

I also never thought that I would be unable to tell you who all of the current champions are, but outside of the WWE and Universal titles, I just don't know and can't work up enough interest to care.

[-Lithium-]

I remember last year I legit forgot Brock Lesnar was the champion at the moment. I was watching RAW (by watching I mean I had it on in the background and would look up occasionally), and actually thought "...wait, whos champion" before remembering...

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

At least this Wildcard shit is over in October, but it makes me wonder who they'll just redpill to each brand and forget they were ever Shakeup'd there, i/e Roman.

You could probably do it with ease on the 24/7 lineage.
