WWE just got mega-dull again.

Cena is back, being the puppet he is.

Big show is back - lot's of slow matches.

Y2J was missused and becomes another mid-card jobber

HHH is back to winning

Hell, we could rewind the WWE 4 years and see the same matches.

The reason I don't watch it anymore. I stopped watching WWE 5 years ago. It has become, like you said, dull and boring. Always the same champions. Always the same story lines. Always the same losers and now that the insecure, selfish puppet is back, he will be champ until he gets another movie deal.

You are quoting me from over 10 years ago ;)

 

I personally feel we have moved on from there and the comment no longer holds relevance.  I mean, Cena is nowhere to be seen beyond his little WrestleMania moment, Big Show is nowhere to be seen, Y2J is now AEW and quite interesting.  Sure HHH won at WrestleMania but that was a showcase match to close off a friend's career.

Not to mention we don't have the same champions anymore now, what with Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston as the champs (who woulda thought that 10+ years ago in this thread eh?)

My hope is that we get a single mens and womens belt, and let the two shows fight for it more, make it a real rivalry going.  Specially when SD goes to Fox in Oct.

There is zero chance that either network would allow that to happen. They both will want a champion of their brand.

 

And the power of Fox is already being flexed with them requesting Andrade moved back to SD.

Having the top from raw and top from smackdown fighting for one WWE championship would make for better main events IMO.   There should be one male and female WWE champion that could float between shows,  It's a way to make sure fans could tune in to both.  They're doing it with Becky right now for example.    Each show could have it's own minor titles, heck, the way they've turned the IC into a meh tilte at this point just shows they should either make it more important, or drop it and introduce something else.

 

And why don't the women have a 2nd title anyways?   The problem WWE has now is that they've signed too many people and don't know how or can't use them all.  The talk is that smackdown could change into a 3 hour show so that's good for the other talent that isn't being used at all or enough, but you gotta make it where the matches mean something more than just a way to end some silly feud of the week/month and nothing else.  

 

Actually having people fighting to move up for a chance at a title match makes everything worth something.  And then you can start feuds off of that.  Right now we're just going through the tired motions.

You note that this is a problem, but you want to remove one of the top titles.

 

Raw basically operated without a top title since Brock's been holding it. How did that work out? Answer: Horribly.

The thing with Brock was dumb but that's a different story.  

 

That has more to do with him than anything else.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
