Can we go back to WrestleMania weekend? The amazing Hall of Fame ceremony, the awesomeness of WrestleMania itself, and the RAW the night after where it was a showcase of the future of WWE? It's like they panicked and went back to the old guard in a matter of weeks after that. I personally haven't watched since a couple RAWs after Mania. It went back to the same ol' same ol' and now I just stay updated through reading this board. Can't say I feel like I'm missing anything.

no, people here like WWE when it serves up exactly what they think is a good idea, despite WWE following a rather predictable booking pattern constantly. Or perhaps people are tired of the most predictable result possible. Predictability leads to boredom. there are ways that they can get creative while following the WWE booking formula I'm sure of it. Guy 1: "You know, I really don't like what WWE offers anymore. I think I'll stop watching." Guy 2: "Why do that? Do what I do man, pay them money for shit you don't like and ruin the show for people who do."

anybody know any more positive forums? Legitimate question, if it's so miserable here for ya; why remain? sometimes people bitch less and it's okay, don't know any other forums that get much traffic. but frankly there's only a couple of people who really ruin the experience for me.

If we pay we can have opinions on it , simple as that.

There are enough wrestlers that I like for me to continue to watch. Typically the main event scene is as stale as stale can be though.

That would be fine in and of itself, but I won't settle for that. I'll make sure and tell everyone around me that they're wrong for whatever their opinion is at a place I voluntarily come to, while simultaneously accusing THEM of ruining MY experience, never once seeing the inherent irony there.

If anyone can doubt Bryan being a star, the complete decay the company went into when he was injured tells the tale. The bottom dropped right out from everything, and it wasn't just him being the champion, since we've had the belt vacated before without this kind of fallout.

And you want a forum wherein your own shared, strange world view is completely unquestioned and followed. It's hypocrisy. no, I want a forum where people expect to have a good time, probably will and are genuinely surprised when there's something they dislike. Who don't enjoy talking about how much WWE sucks.

WWE doesn't even have the excuse of Daniel Bryan's injury to defend themselves with.
Even before he was hurt, he was in a shitty storyline. The cynical part of me wonders if someone in WWE creative hadn't already begun the sabotage.

Not saying Battleground was amazing or perfect or anything, but it can get a tad excessive at times.

No such place exists, because WWE doesn't book a product that creates one. Even if they did book the "perfect" product, there would always be people who dislike something. I'm not even sure how they expect a place where everyone is happy. People have different likes and dislikes, they are not inherently wrong or right. They are just opinions... Either that or they want a place that is censored from any negativity. Which just seems scary to me.

I mean, you've seen my comment I'm happy Bray lost right? Bray wins a lot more than he loses so how do you think I feel about that? In fact WWE likes to build up monster heels who will be eventually fed to top stars. And I universally hate the build up because they go over plenty of guys I like. I didn't want Ryback to face CM Punk for the WWE title because I knew they couldn't let him win but I didn't want his winning streak to end. I hate that they let Brock Lesnar end the streak and are going to make him the next WWE champ. I'm pissed off they're going to run with AJ as a face, that they pushed AJ over Kaitlyn to the point Kaitlyn decided to call it quits because there didn't seem to be room for her. I also dislike the number of people WWE have shifted out of the ring to announcing or training,.

Not saying Battleground was amazing or perfect or anything, but it can get a tad excessive at times. My feeling on that is the same as it has been since 2003 when I first came here--if you want positive topics, start em. No one's preventing you from that. This place isn't a hivemind, and there's a wide variety of disparate opinions. Some are gonna agree with you, some aren't. You're gonna get positivity and negativity. When it's a show like tonight that the majority doesn't like, well, that's gonna show up in people's posts. No one else's opinion has the ability to affect yours unless you let it.

That's what I'm trying to get you to see.
