I get more excited to watch raw and Smackdown than AEW every week even if AEW is a better show that week.

I am actually really looking forward to Brock v Roman, and don’t want Roman to lose the title any time soon.
Those are words I never thought I would type.

The program isn't nearly as bad as people think it is. They just overexaggerate, hate watch and are filled with negativity so it seems much worse in a vacuum. Me, I mostly watch away from others and I've noticed that my experience is just far better when not around all the harmful comments. It's not amazing but it's definitely not the worse thing ever. If it was dudes wouldn't be watching. Even when I still watched I found I liked the shows more watching on my own

I actually like the product and think it's putting on a better product than AEW especially when it comes to things that I like regarding diversity, women, and characters.

I want Roman to stay Champion for another year. It's the best championship reign since Cena's 380 run. The Universal Title feels like the biggest prize in the industry and a guy like Bron or Drew beating him for it would instantly make them the biggest babyface in a longtime.

Far as main event scenes, I like AEW’s structure top-to-bottom and use of stables and jobbers and booking the title holders strong because I feel that elevates all the champions. But I don’t like how they’re booking Hangman, he doesn’t feel like “the man” as champion as much as Roman and Okada do as champions currently. I buy into them being “strongest guys in the world” more. The last three AEW champs felt like a bigger deal. Bret in 1992-1993 felt far more like WWF’s new post- Hogan ace.
Every company needs a clear ace at a given point to draw big, IMO.

The Dana Brooke/Reggie/Tamina/Towzawa/R-Truth Saga is the second most entertaining plot in today's WWE.
I'm serious.

I’ll echo the Roman love.
I’m not tired of the dude’s title reign at all. It’s refreshing to have a true juggernaut boss character that’s around every week and really comes off as THE king of the promotion.

I've also liked Reigns, err, reign but it is needing to end sooner than later (and not to sodding Brock).
Unpopular because every fan I know seems to love the guy but I cannot stand The Miz. His matches, his promos, his character work. Fast forward button stuff.

I like the Roman Reign (no pun intended) but it really shouldn’t go past 2 years

The Road to WrestleMania concept has destroyed WWE creatively. They’ve sacrificed the rest of the year and good storytelling to load up that three month period. And because of its structure, it’s very limiting on the stories they can tell. I would be fine if they scrapped it completely, to the point where I don’t even care if they discontinue the Royal Rumble. For 30 years, the biggest match of the year has been set up by a dude winning a battle royal. It’s become boring.

I want to keep this version of Roman for a long time & I don’t want him to lose the title anytime soon.

They learned nothing for what Roman's actual problems were and Heel Roman is exactly like forced face Roman... and still makes everyone he's in a feud with look worse than when they started.
Which is bad as a face.. but literally the opposite of what a Heel is supposed to do.

For 30 years, the biggest match of the year has been set up by a dude winning a battle royal. It’s become boring. Thing is, it doesn't have to, they've had that for decades now. Having the "main" storylines culminate at Wrestlemania is fine, but then they switch off. Ok, you start it at Royal Rumble... Why not have seeds planted at Survivor Series to set that up, and Survivor Series pay off the fall out from Summerslam etc. Each BIG event should have consequences that play out, leading to the next one, and it evolves through the year, all being hyped. 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 ok they weren't top of their game all the time, but you look at those years, there's an overarching story, convoluted as it can be, through all of them. The fall of Hart and Michaels and rise of Austin, Austin v McMahon, the rise of The Rock, then HHH, The Invasion...

I enjoyed HHH's run between 02-05 - He made Benoit/Orton (bungled onwards from the fact turn but it worked out in the end)/Batista/Goldberg/Revitalized Ric Flair (before his nowadays pervo grandfather act), - if he jobbed to everyone from Kane (upper midcard attraction character), RVD (Unreliable), Nash and Steiner (both broken down and past their sell by date) - the only one who i didnt agree was Booker with that abomination of a storyline, i remember the dirt sheets his contract was coming up and was considering acting
Much prefer the current nxt incarnation over the Undisputed Era era - NXT was at its best when it had character work/personas and good wrestling not solely good work rate only style they had for a while - they will get there in the wrestling, but im enjoying the characters/personas
They had to purge a lot of the roster, sucks for anyone to lose their job, but a lot were sitting around doing nothing, and bar maybe 10 of them who were cut, none of them were cant miss stars

Undertaker's "serious" or "I'm a wrestler guy on a bike" work was dogshit bad. Undertaker as "actual wrestling zombie" or "Mind controlled by Paul Bearer" was good shit.
Kane's "serious" and "played straight" work was unwatchable bad. Kane's "batshit insane wacky" and "fish out of water" stories are A+ Pro Wrestling Quality Entertainment.
Both dudes never really had a moderate level of entertainment. Either really bad or damn good. Kinda interesting.

Undertaker should come back full time under the wrestling zombie gimmick. It's the perfect gimmick to hide his limitations.
