I get annoyed when matches are clearly being drawn out to fill in time like when we're sitting in three chinlocks a match or not just ending the match because we need to hear Cole, Lawler and JBL chatter on about whatever unfunny lines they're trying to get in. I didn't enjoy the old Raw style of mid level name vs. nobody which doesn't get anyone anywhere. I didn't find that to be the case here.kbwrestlingreviewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-85671213224392239392014-11-20T18:10:23.552-07:002014-11-20T18:10:23.552-07:00I remember he complained that he got a super low p...I remember he complained that he got a super low payday compared to Taker at the 1992 Survivor Series. I think he needs to understand that Taker was the draw, and he was just "Generic heel #57" to feed to him. Could have really been Taker vs any big dude. I think the payday made sense.

Cesaro vs. Cena on RAW. That, and the Network being announced; and one of the first things I checked out on there was NXT, which gave me Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn. That in turn led me to checking out what I'd been missing with Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, the Shield...<br /><br />So even simpler answer: Fresh faces. And it's seeing them being so misused which is just as quickly driving me away from wrestling again.John Petrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-22019974273112417252014-11-20T17:42:12.033-07:002014-11-20T17:42:12.033-07:00They really need to focus on quality writing &...They really need to focus on quality writing & athleticism. The brand itself is strong enough, continually draws in new fans, so they don't need to have cartoon superhero characters like Hogan, Warrior or Cena. This also isn't the best time or environment to go Attitude Era again with shock-for-shock's-sake. Just get back to the basics. Not worry about characters but just men & women with talent and personalities. Make winning matches and titles mean something again. Let fans think of it as a sport, not sports entertainment. Then once you've reset that baseline you can then experiment, find out where the boundaries are to push against. Wrestling's been around and continually growing for like a hundred years; so don't just look to the boom periods of Hulkamania and the Monday Night Wars for inspiration.John Petrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-85172409158064171942014-11-20T17:41:39.706-07:002014-11-20T17:41:39.706-07:00His B- sure says so.His B- sure says so.WWF1987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-71559612947222354372014-11-20T17:33:49.003-07:002014-11-20T17:33:49.003-07:00Do You enjoy 6 straight matches under 3 minutes ea...Do You enjoy 6 straight matches under 3 minutes each?ONITA100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-51087393970541021492014-11-20T17:09:48.549-07:002014-11-20T17:09:48.549-07:00She got fired before Summerslam and her job was re...She got fired before Summerslam and her job was restored in order to fight Stephanie.
