I'm angered at just how BORING it is. The WWE has been using the same formula for 20 years now and I'm just over it. Stopped watching live. I catch highlights on YouTube if I'm really curious. This...doesn't even anger me, it's just really disappointing. If there's a show on...I might watch. Or don't. I barely know when the Special Events are. My email reminds me. "Oh, that's tonight? Eh...guess I'll watch it."

Using Roman’s cancer for any kind of angle and/or as a way to finally get him over as a conquering baby face.
I’m a cancer survivor and...naw, man. Just...naw.
I know there was other week to week stuff or misusing of talent that bugged me over the course of the year but this particular thing just touches a nerve for me.

The initial Ambrose heel turn I was fine with, but that f***ing promo where Dean implies that Roman deserves to have leukemia for the heelish things the Shield did was where it just went off the rails completely.

Yeah, I feel that way too. I really had no problem with the heel turn or Roman saying his goodbyes to the WWE fans first thing with Raw because that was a real, genuine moment that broke kayfabe for a damn good reason. But Dean pulling basically the same shit as Orton did with "Eddie's down there in Hell!" was really callous writing, even if Roman OKed it beforehand.

Putting Stephanie the Emasculator on tv. She's the only McMahon that constantly hurts anyone who's onscreen with her.

Apart from defaulting back to having a non-existent Lesnar as champ, nothing.
My apathy towards main roster TV has resulted in almost completely not watching outside of PPVs. And I'm much better off for it.

Like for me, I completely get if all sides were fine with it etc but the fact is...Roman could genuinely lose this battle with cancer. I’m sure I can speak for everyone and say that we wish him the best in his recovery but that’s the really harsh facts with this stuff. For them to use it in a storyline makes it, just like the Eddie stuff, seem like dude’s a character in a show going away for a bit and not a dude recovering from goddamn Leukemia and THAT I am not comfortable with.

Ripping a bunch of talent off the indies scene with their contract changes.

Nakamura's US title reign, although I'm a big Nakamura fan I'll acknowledge he's lost a step and a main event spot is probably beyond him but him as US champ was a great chance for him to leave his mark as a heel and to elevate the belts status as it been an afterthought since Cena stopped carrying it. He was never on TV! 5 minute backstage bit here and there, almost never defended on PPV. It makes me wonder if he had a guaranteed title reign clause in his contract and they just wanted to get it out of the way. We got the good match with Rollins at SS and the nice pop for Rusev last week out of it but it could have been a lot better.

Ripping a bunch of talent off the indies scene with their contract changes. Even if I do think some of the doomsday scenarios put forward are a bit over the top (even though nothing with the term “able to shut down the company you’re in partnership with” can be removed from the table in any way shape or form no matter how unlikely that is) and some of it feels like there’s more to it...yeah, a lot of the contract stuff feels like WWE either showing their financial muscle over literally everyone else or scared that someone might come along (*cough AEW cough*) might come along and somehow swoop and get them or something. It has also started a sort of bidding war for other talents with Impact and ROH signing people to deals which is both a good and bad thing depending on the respective talent.

Booking wise: Nakamura and Asuka losing at Mania, as well as AJ constantly beating Joe were moments that ticked me off.
Non-Booking wise: Moolah battle royal naming, Crown Jewel, and Lars/Hogan being brought in.

The first few weeks of Becky's new character when they were stubbornly trying to make Charlotte the sympathetic face and Becky the dastardly heel, with "You people..." promos and the whole nine yards. She eventually made it work because she's that talented, but it was really aggravating for a while there.

Blowing Saudi Arabia at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
What was it? "THE GREAT, MODERN & PROGRESSIVE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA!" ?
The deal with Saudi Arabia made WWE whores. When you get in bed with dictators, you deserve your heat.
Props to the guys who said f*** THIS and didn't go to Crown Jewel.

The return of the McMahons to TV and how quickly everyone who complains "Everything is the same" immediately nerded out over this stuttering old mummy getting slapped by AJ and reinforcing the McMahons opinions that they're the only stars via this ugly self fulfilling prophecy they've created.
