2019 is done. How did WWE do in your eyes?

I give the little boy robot an F.
On second thought, I give everything except NXT an F. NXT gets a really solid B+. But I'm not letting NXT bump up the average either, as outside of Survivor Series season, NXT feels like it exists in its own little universe as opposed to just being another WWE brand. Raw and Smackdown were so consistently bad I stopped watching them and that's an automatic failure in my eyes.

A- purely on the back of NXT
Best WWE show by a country mile but also there is still plenty of room for improvement and growth

C+. RAW and SmackDown need to start pulling their weight in getting this grade up, because NXT can’t do it alone.

C
Positives for me:
-NXT
-A WrestleMania that gave us what we wanted for the most part, even if it was way too long
-Kofimania
-PPVs were pretty good up until the fall
-Roman Reigns finally being booked to his strengths
-Face Alexa Bliss and her tag team with Nikki Cross
-AJ turning heel
-Otis!!!!!
Negatives for me:
-Saudi Arabia
-Shane McMahon
-Becky becoming another victim of their babyface booking
-Brock Lesnar being "slayed" at SummerSlam, only to end up as an absentee champion again a couple months later anyway
-The weird Twitter shit
-Cuck angles
-The lack of depth in the women's tag division
-The tag divisions in general
-PPVs really fell off in quality after SummerSlam
-No Evolution 2
-The ending of HIAC
-The 24/7 Championship
-Shorty G

+ Weird stuff like Bob/Lana/Rusev/Liv plus Castration of Kanellis. Sex. Dog Food. Otis.
+ NXT has quality matches and pay-per-views, actually lots of 'em.
+ Baron Corbin being the dark horse of the year. Him and Shorty G w/ their King of the Ring perfomances, plus both of 'em at least made Angle's botched retirement tour tolerable.
+ Only big worthwhile match I remember in main shows is Adam Cole vs. Daniel Bryan. KofiMania.
Let's put the E! in WWE~!

NXT is a solid B+ to A-.
SmackDown and RAW are both an F-.

I give it a C, largely because pay per views were overall decent, with a few exceptions. TV, though, is a lead balloon.

I voted C-. NXT has been the saving grace of the company and would have earned itself an A, but the other two brands's performance brought the average down considerably.
While there were some bright spots earlier in the year, particularly in the run-up to and Wrestlemania itself, the rest of the year has been a long, simmering letdown with HITC as probably its nadir. NXT Takeover/Survivor Series weekend was a bit of a pick-me-up, but the TV shows have not proven good value for USA's and especially Fox's money.

C-. They Have had hints of greatness, and Wrestlemania had them make a lot of the right decisions, but they when they bungled in 2019, they did so HARD. Jon Moxley utterly humiliating the company with his exit and Talk is Jericho interview did not help matters, especially since it seemed to bring out Seth Rollins' insecurity in a big way after they were trying to make him their top face. The Saudi Arabia embarrassment, some utterly dogshit angles, and Kofi Kingston being thrown away when WWE got bored of him really could have made this an F year had they not gone with Kofi and Becky when it did matter, NXT being a highlight, and some excellent moves like most everything with Keith Lee.
NXT and the stuff that did go right bring it back up to C-.

I gave them an E for effort.
I literally stopped watching this year, so I can't justify eating it any higher, but they were definitely trying...

C-, with NXT helping to bump the grade.
That Lesnar/Kofi title match on the first Fox Smackdown had a soul-crushing outcome, and WWE's had plenty of other problems this year.
Firefly Fun House has been entertaining.
Raw's been building up a mid-card to some extent, but both main roster Tag divisions could use more teams.

Last year I stopped watching Raw and Smackdown. This year I cancelled my network subscription. The fact that this year put the final nail in my lifelong fandom for WWE to the point that I can't even be bothered with the good stuff like NXT anymore means it should get an automatic F- from me, but due to spending most of the year only following along with what's been happening on this board, I think I'll just give an uncasted 'Didn't Watch' vote instead.

When did those get added? Decade or two ago? When those weren't a thing I probably posted to wrestling forums, before registering to FAN. I've been reading for almost a decade for this one, though. What a social treat.  |
