We had Braun playing the cello, Paige here, A deletion and whatever Crown Jewel was. All in all, How'd it fair on average?

D+ Sure Asuka and Shinsuke won the rumbles, Sure we had Bryan return and fight Brock but overall, a very disappointing year.

I'm going to go with a D. There've certainly been worse years but I don't think there's ever been one where I've cared less.

C+. RAW drags down the grade, but I won’t undersell SmackDown finding a solid groove after a rough 2017, NXT being good and 205 Live being a consistently fun and easy watch. WWE isn’t just RAW.

D.
Crown Jewel (and the entire Saudi Arabia deal), Braun Strowman failing to win the UC and Raw being unwatchable is the reason for the grade.

On a scale of 1-10, 11 Dixie Carters
From what I saw.. Definitely a D. But I only watched half the year. I doubt the other half was much better.

D-.
They drove off basically anyone who isn't a hardcore, or the small, small Roman fanbase.
Then Roman got sick and the Roman fans started leaving too.

D. For every good thing that came about (Bryan's return, the rise of Becky Lynch, Nakamura/Asuka's Rumble wins, Evolution PPV, etc.), there was an exponential amount of terrible in turn (the Saudi Arabia deal and shows, Raw 25, Lesnar's Universal Title run), compounded by absolutely terrible TV since Reign's departure causing a void in creative that they could not write themselves out of.
Whether this 'New Era' will pan out to anything is yet to be seen, but until we get to that point, they're scraping the bottom end.

This is the worst I've felt about WWE as a whole since Benoit

D, due to the whole Saudi Arabia deal and Raw sucking ass.

I give it a B, but only because I am only watching PPV's and staying away from weeklies. I can't imagine WWE being good enough to try to keep up with so many hours of weekly programming.

There were some good things, but it was outweighed by so much shit that I gave up on the main roster 2/3 of the way through the year. I'd like to say it deserves an F for making me leave when past years weren't able to, but NXT is still great, so I'll go with a D.

Yeah... Main Roster only (excluding NXT and 205 Live) I'd probably give it a D... it wasn't completely terrible there were bright spots.... but not many.
With NXT and 205 I'd probably bump it to a C... they've been great but the main roster drags them down considerably.

Has to be a D, just for the fact that they've had so many opportunities fall into their lap to either be good or to be a white hat, and instead did neither. They have a ton of money, but I really wonder when they do move to Fox how much they(Fox) will put up with awful ratings.

I'll give it a generous B, Daniel Brian's heel turn made me do it as well as Mustafa Ali's switch to the smackdown roster

C-
Bad: Raw, which is the only bad show they put on but because it's the flagship it sours people on the rest of the product The Crown Jewel bullshit Way too many PPVs in general, with maybe only a handful of them worth going back and watching again Roman's leukemia announcement
Good: Daniel Bryan's return to the ring Becky Lynch becoming the star she deserves to be The Becky/Charlotte feud in general Ronda Rousey coming in and taking to dis business as quickly as she is Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Evolution, Super Showdown and Hell in a Cell were all pretty damn good The NXT Takeovers

I've not watched much of the product itself to give a grade, but this year has really soured me on the company, to the point that they won't be getting any money from me again. Not that they care, of course.
What has soured me?
The self indulgent, ignorance, backwards booking that squanders the most athletic and promising roster in years.
The hypocrisy behind pushing the women, all the while taking..
That f***ing Saudi deal.

Gave it a D. Enough bad to make me quit watching and cancel my network for a spell, but enough intrigue (DBry, Lynch, and Rousey) to pull me back in.

The main roster? A big, fat, greasy F.
