I realized my one-month subscription to the network was still active last night, but when I heard Bryan was down, I didn't even have interest in watching the replay. Street fights are all the same. Cage matches are all the same, like Doc said. Big Show is a joke and Kane is an old man. I'm still up for the Royal Rumble every year, and probably Wrestlemania, and maaaaybe Summerslam and MITB, but I really don't think I'll have a network subscription outside of those months.

i really think its worth the $9.99 just for nxt, and im usually up for the PPVs, but last night is the first time since ive had the network that i just didnt care if i saw it or not, i did watch the end of the Reigns/Show match and the main event since i was done watching other stuff but i wasnt at all upset that i didnt watch the whole thing. hopefully Payback is decent but with the 4th PPV in a row of Cena/Rusev and i would be surprised isnt the 3rd straight of Rollins/Orton, i just dont see anything good happening in 3 weeks so im liable to mostly skip another one.

Doc, it is draft week. If you are going to show your face around here you need to be posting in the Buccaneers thread or at least the NFL thread.

Yeah, I won't cancel the network because I watch NXT every week and love it, but I have NO interest in what's going on on the main roster right now. That PPV was awful, and I don't expect much better from Payback. I'll watch Payback in all likelihood, but I don't see myself making a point to watch Raw.

He tried to start his own promotion but that failed, so now he's going to write for a promotion that is already failing by itself. Joking aside, I'd rather have someone like Corgan that loves wrestling and is creative writing than some TV writer that doesn't know wrestling at all.

Yeah, that's a fair point. I'm not a wrestling guy, but I totally see what you mean.

Yeah, the biggest problem(or one of) with wrestling today is writers that don't understand the business at all.

I skipped the last 3 weeks of Raw before the PPV last night. It's all filler right now. The writers are just brutal. I will watch and I'm not cancelling the network or anything (it's well worth my $9.99) but hopefully the writing gets better.

Exactly. At least he gives a shit.

Joey on the rasslin thread makes me happy!

Bo Dallas is awesome, i wish they would give him the push it looked like he was gonna get when he debuted on the main roster last year

bo dallas should be able to run with that character but for whatever reason he's not been able to. dallas reminds me of early kurt angle with the earnestness and bravado, where he's entertaing to watch and fun to hate. so much potential there and they're not letting him do shit.

heel new day is wonderful so far.

i like the fact that the wwe has run with them as heels after the backlash, but their whole gimmick is still mostly pointless...so which 2 are actually the champions?

Basically, their gimmick is being black. I love how Vince STILL thinks that this is a gimmick in 2015.

Consequence Creed was a fun character for Woods on the indies. I also think Big E has a lot of potential. Very likable guy.

Oh creative haha.

I've never been high on Big E, but I've always thought Kingston was great.

Kofi is super athletic. I do wish they did more with him.

Big E is still green as hell but with some work I think he could be really good. Legit powerhouse.

big e sold me on him when i went to the elimination chamber ppv last year and he had a match against swagger. on paper it wasn't an exciting matchup, but they both brought it, and seeing big do a dive to the outside was just impressive. the crowd wasn't into it at the start, but by the end of the match the two guys absolutely had the crowds attention, a credit to them.
