Like many, my focus has shifted away from main roster WWE. Raw and Smackdown pretty much suck, and they have no intention on righing those ships. NXT is where it's at, and are dancing on that razor blade of either staying the loveable darling to "is WWE going to ruin them, too?" simply from being shifted to being actual televised counterprogramming to specifically fuck with AEW.
AEW and NWA have taken the shine from the internally crumbling RoH and the "how are they still alive?" Impact Wrestling. And then, there's NJPW, that is starting to make inroads into the US - and I don't even mean the LA Dojo and upcoming US division plans, I mean they have gotten more and more eyes on the product globally instead of being this mystical and insular continuity unto itself.
For everything that sucks, there is something else growing from the ashes to love. To quote a book a loathe: "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times."
