Swear WWE has a checklist of every beloved babyface and is turning them all heel one by one. Kairi Sane becomes an actual pirate and robs old ladies and steals candy from babies.

Didn't Rusev threaten to quit earlier last year because he wasn't on the WM card, and they panicked and put him in a match?
I guess he forgot he can have sway over them.

Let's see:
Road Dogg and Jeff Jarrett back together on WWE TV Momentum-killing heel turns and lack of continuity in storylines Big names leaving WWE for other companies
Is this mid-90's WWF again?

Rusev needs to ask for his release as well. He's so much more than the WWE will ever have him be, and would be a main eventer in any other company.

I wonder if Rusev and Nakamura will be facing Shane and Miz for the tag titles at WrestleMania.

When will everyone stop giving the WWE so many chances and just drop the product? An alternative in AEW is about to come to fruition and a lot of people here are still torturing themselves with this stale product. Just drop it, move on from them, find other entertaining wrestling, shows, and accept that the WWE isn't going to cater to your likes or dislikes anymore. All they care about is the live attendance and as long as you're still watching the shows, keeping your subscription, and using the forum to air your disappointments with the product they will never change. As fans you need to put your foot down and simply say no more. Send that message to Vince, spread the word, and start your WWE free life. You will feel a lot better. I don't see why people who still want to be fans of WWE should be told they're wrong for doing so. They're absolutely not wrong, but what good is complaining doing? At some point complaining about the same thing over and over has to get tiring. Simply just stop watching. Any and everyone has a right to be a fan of the product. For me personally, what's the point of watching something if it makes you unhappy?

Already did; still easy to go 'well that's a dopey idea'. You stopped watching? That's good. You're one of the rare few who put his foot down and said no more. As you said; it's much easier to say "It's a horrible idea". I just never understood how something that makes people here so unhappy that they continue watching just to complain. Punk did say "They'll complain about how it sucks and still watch next Monday."

I like the idea of a Rusev/Nakamura team, but there had to have been a different way to get there. Should have been like The Bar, 2 tough SOBs who fight a lot and develop respect, that is something that you can usually get behind.

What damn male main roster faces does WWE even have on each show? I feel like we're hitting ALL HEELS ALL THE TIME around here. Feels like a kayfabe news article about WWE becoming 100% heels.

Especially after Lana's emotional promo after the RR. I missed this. This is great. Okay seriously, is Lana wearing contact lenses to make her eyes look bluer lately? Her eyes have been looking weird to me for weeks. It's eerie as shit. When will everyone stop giving the WWE so many chances and just drop the product?

They barely even actually exist. Everything else though, you do have a point, but quite frankly half of the fun of being a wrestling fan for me is chatting to people on this forum about it whether positive or negative.

I fully belive Vince has short term memory problems. He’s definitely aging at a rapid speed. Pretty sure that my dog has a better attention span than Vince at this point.

Yeah, he has a very valid point, but let’s not act like AEW is the second coming of wrestling Jesus here to save us from tyranny lol they’ve barerly got out of the gate and have yet to have a single show as a company. The rest is spot on, though. Why continue to watch something that just makes you angry and miserable? I don’t like this one bit either, but I do see potential in the two of them becoming a stiff tag team.

Absolutely this. I've been member of this board for 11 years. I've not made any kind of contribution to WWE's bottom line for almost half of that time - I cherry pick what to watch on YouTube based on whether or not it's a talking point here, good or bad.

Yeah, let's be careful when talking about whether to watch or not; I'll be the first to tell people "there's a whole world of better wrestling products out there, go explore them, especially if WWE is making you unhappy", but it's a fine line between that and coming off as dictating to people how to be fans. I don't think that was the intention here, but it's easy for it to come off that way. I think it's just easy to see so many people unhappy with an angle, feud, or use of a given talent or two and feel like "Man, they all hate the show, yet they all still watch!", when many are still watching for their own reasons and some actually HAVE stopped watching; just have to remember we're all in our own unique situations.
But yeah, if I was making a wishlist of guys from WWE I'd love to see jump from WWE to anywhere like NJPW, AEW, ROH, or anywhere else, Rusev would be near the top. It's not that WWE has never featured him, it's not that he's "buried" or whatever, it's just that the guy is clearly capable of getting himself over, having good matches, and like Kevin said he also just "gets" wrestling on a level not everyone else does, yet WWE clearly has had nothing in mind for him for a good, long while. He doesn't need to leave and be an instant main eventer wherever he goes, but there's no reason a guy like that shouldn't be featured in interesting feuds and storylines that make some level of sense.
...though for the record, my biggest "jump to another company" wish is that The Bar would go to NJPW, because good Lord they'd be amazing.
