That video makes me sad.

Evil Vito 02-24-2017 05:27 PM

Thing is, I understand not liking the product and being frustrated by it. We've all been there. And as wrestling fans, even if we stop watching for a while, I think most diehard wrestling fans are still going to check the results just to see if anything cool happened and if there's anything worth seeking out. Most of us would love an excuse to jump back in.

It's like a sports team. You want it to do well but they are SO godawful it's tough to force yourself to sit through. Imagine being a Cleveland Browns fan except instead of 16 games a year you have to watch 52+. It's impossible not to get burned out.

I just don't get the epically long posts about everything the company is doing wrong when it's already been ages since the person last liked the product. That's an awful lot of effort to put towards something that feels like a chore more than an enjoyable hobby.

I do enjoy NJPW. This is you projecting false ideals onto me. The fact that you would "get it" if I liked New Japan but was critical of WWE basically erases your entire point here. But, for your information, I did question my fandom for a while, because I actually listened to some of the people here who said "Wrestling is as good as its ever been, but you've just grown out of it." So I went and watched some older wrestling and liked it just fine. I'm sorry I don't love The Usos high-school playing their way through a god damn awful promo where they keep stepping on each other's lines in order to make it seem organic.

The truth is, quality standards have dropped. Really bad shit is now bad shit, bad shit is now average, average is now good and good is now ZOMG! SIX STAR MATCH! THIS IS BETTER THAN AUSTIN/BRET!!! If it were, more then 10,000 Americans would have watched it. And I am pulling for New Japan. I really, really want them to succeed.

But hey, that's a successful business model, right? Wear down your audience so they have low expectations and still eat the shit you shovel them anyway. Why bust your ass trying to put forward good television? That would burn you out way too quickly.

Bro, you book the Royal Rumble every year and then message me about how much you don't like the current product. You don't need to *get* what I'm about. That's how we're separate people. I love wrestling, but that doesn't mean I need to enjoy the specifics. It has been a long time since something has really gotten me excited for the weekly television product of WWE, but there are plenty of little bright spots that get me through. There is the hope that at the end of the tunnel, business will pick up. If you think Kevin Owens as mid-card champ is great, I can't wait until you guys see him as a main eventer, for example.

I've tempered my viewing considerably, thank you very much, not that it is any of your business. I don't watch RAW or SmackDown. I listen to recaps from my trusted sources as to what is going on. I will watch the occasional PPV to see if the "big show" feel can drag me back in, but then Alexa Bliss kills herself taking a fucking moonsault and all you guys can do is drool about how great she is.

If there was something else that was truly good on week-to-week, I'd be watching that. I'd leave WWE behind in the dirt so fucking fast. Then they'd probably start trying and reel me back in. But they've got their fingers on the business and no one else cares enough to try and make them creative, because wrestling is more niche than it's ever been. Again, brilliant strategy from a business standpoint. Enjoy your mediocre WWE until the end of time.

My most naive thought is that the WWE will eventually change itself and a star will shoot through. Why on earth would that ever happen? Especially when you guys lap it up and don't ask any questions.

Noid is approaching Cynick level of stupidity.

Ruien 02-24-2017 08:27 PM

Get really annoyed by people who don't watch the product but bitch like they do. Then call them out and they magically watched everything that is relevant to the discussion.

There's a difference between a once magical relationship and a now abusive relationship. You guys are blaming the victim here, and modern society would label you as cunts for it. That you don't see it as abusive highlights a big gap in philosophy.

That you don't think it could, or should, is further evidence of these different mindsets.

I think I am done with these boards. You guys enjoy what you enjoy. Peace.

Mr. Nerfect 02-24-2017 08:30 PM

I want my final thought to be: Alexa Bliss isn't really that good. She's hot as fuck, but she isn't that good. If you really thought she was all that, you'd want to see her with a dildo; you wouldn't want to be the ones sitting on it.

LOL "worn down by WWE's conditioning methods"

Evil Vito 02-25-2017 12:48 AM

For a few years, PPVs were basically all I actually watched. Raw was little more than background noise, and I didn't watch SmackDown.

Gave it another chance after the draft and I've been as engaged with the product as I've been in years. Raw is still background noise or skip/watch background segments for the most part, but it's still better than what was being churned out in 2013-15. And SmackDown rules.

Nope. Worn down by WWE's conditioning methods.

Evil Vito 02-25-2017 12:50 AM

I remember when I hated WWE and accused people who liked it of having Stockholm syndrome too. Good times.

Juan 02-25-2017 02:25 AM

LOL Noid, come on man. The "you guys just don't get it, but I do" card? Really?

Noid just acting like a child again and claiming "Evil Noid." :roll:

Noid writes a lot of critical essays about a product he's admitted to not watching. Makes no sense to me.

I think Noid finally went all "Frank Grimes" and snapped.

What a match folks, Pro Wrestling Superstars are really getting their stuff together. Ive been following their work and I have to say that these guys are on the right track.


In this match, the champion himself, Gree-D wrestles a charismatic young face, THE PATRIOT!

You guys gotta watch it,


Some previews of the action!

okay I'm done chirping Noid, I just couldn't resist.

mike adamle 02-26-2017 02:50 AM

I like that people enjoying Alexa Bliss got Noid so upset. "Other people can't think she's good, I don't!!!"

rockman725 02-26-2017 03:20 AM

The Alexa Bliss heel character is essentially the Trish Stratus heel character. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Alexa's mic work is very similar and IMO, way better than some of the other girls right now including Nikki, Becky, Bayley, and even Sasha. Maybe her in ring skills can be a bit fine tuned, but she's definitely better than some of the others. Don't really understand why this is a huge argument.

Ruien 02-26-2017 09:23 AM

Well, Noid thinks he has a real connection with Becky and Alexa is holding her back.

Because Noid is the smartest wrestling mind on the internet.

Simple Fan 02-26-2017 12:21 PM

I just find it funny he puts down Alexa and then praises Natayala. Natayala is just horrible but has been better as a heel but still sucks at acting. I don't even think she's all that in the ring. Honestly I just wish she'd leave.

mike adamle 02-26-2017 01:06 PM

I just don't understand why it's absolutely wrong for someone to like Alexa Bliss because he doesn't, when he doesn't even watch 95% of what she's done.

You could throw in Emma as one of the women Noid has a stalker-like obsession for, as there are no women in his real life for him to obsess over.

I mean it's cool that he doesn't want to come back but I really hope he understands that t.v. programming isn't abusive to the watcher.

Ol Dirty Dastard 02-27-2017 09:00 AM

i mean i'm not gonna act like that uso promo is award winning but just watching it now, there's nothing wrong with it, actually pretty funny and you can tell they're really working on developing as characters.

Don't understand why he was so offended by it


Feel like we wore the kiddy gloves with Noid because of his child like fantasy booking, we patted him on the head and even when he'd take shots at us we'd let him get away with it. Now we push back a bit, and he takes his ball and goes home.

In defense of Noid, I'd probably do unforgivable things to get a night with Becky.

.....or Alexa.

.....or Emma.
