I’m watching Jack Evans vs Jungle Boy right now.
Show & Tony have really developed a solid chemistry on commentary in just a few short weeks. Show’s been solid in the booth thus far.

Someone ban randomone for putting his thoughts about a 3rd tier YouTube show in a thread about a 4th tier USA network show.

and this Sheamus/Riddle thing is absolutely stupid. Man, here I am thinking this can't be that bad two weeks before Mania. Terrible writing in the first 12 minutes. ABAW taps out at 12:17. Eddie Kingston would be air punching.

Shane looks like the dad that just got out of rehab for coke.

There was a time as a grown man (sort of) I jumped off the couch when Shane's music hit. Sure, it was his return in Detroit. But I just turned his Mania promo off for a Criminal Minds rerun.

My friend just texted me “I have second hand embarrassment for all wrestling fans with this Miz segment.”
Miz was WORLD CHAMPION 3 WEEKS AGO

Riddle bailing on a live backstage promo is perfect. We’re live pal!

In a somewhat related topic, is this the worst it’s ever been?

They were given a year without fans to work stuff out, plan for the future, build storylines and they failed in nearly every aspect. The sole exception being heel Roman/Heyman. Yes there’s been some good wrestling matches and Smackdown for the most part started the year atrocious and improved immensely towards the end of 2020. But... THEY COULD LITERALLY CONTROL WHO THEY WANTED FANS TO CHEER AND BOO FOR A MOTHERFUCKING YEAR!! And they dropped the ball.

It's actively bad.
There's some things I shit on AEW for, but even at their worst they aren't actively bad.

Enjoyed the match between Riddle and Sheamus. I really hope they are building to Riddle snapping and becoming a serious contender for the world title.

In a somewhat related topic, is this the worst it’s ever been? This is the worst ever if I combine my age and the product. 1995 was probably the worst year across the board during my fandom. I was tapping out on wrestling in 2007 during the Cena v Orton 75 era. That's when I found the wrestling section of the other board and making fun of wrestling became the enjoyment. For perspective, we had a weekly Raw thread during that shitty time. But Frank had to change the date on the Raw thread from 2020 to 2021 because nobody else gave a shit. I'll still have Mania on but there's zero anticipation. Creatively they were probably worse six to twelve months ago. But that's the 83 Weeks version of yes.

Also they have no incentive to improve their product either. They've been paid out the ass already, not to mention you get their PPVs for $5 now.
When fans return, there's going to be a small period where they cheer everything because they're just happy to see live wrestling again. Then the novelty will wear off and I am truly hoping the live crowds shit on the product.
The amount of storylines over the past year they've just dropped unexplained is staggering even for them.

You know what? It’s going to be interesting to see what kind of attendance they get. It may start off hot because we all miss live events but after that scratch has been itched, it could nosedive. If it does, we know how expensive this gets. They might be put in a position to sell or not tour as much. Time will tell.

Vince + Bruce in 2020/21 is insanely bad. Bruce likes a lot of stupid shit and he’s a yes man.

I definitely don't see them doing house shows any time soon. Pre-pandemic they were already cutting back quite a bit on them.
Doesn't help that WWE house shows had become boring as shit too.

Why does Riddle have to talk like this? They have him acting like a guy with a mental disability. Not even joking.
