There's no urgency in any storyline.
There's no reason why the Miztourage can't have their own proper feud--that's actually compelling, while also helping Miz win matches. There's no reason why every single Bar match means literally zilch.
Why does Finn Balor have to wrestle Seth Rollins every week? Why does Bayley have to wrestle Sascha every week? You've got a bloated roster, with the potential for serious storylines that could mean something, but 90% of your segments are afterthoughts. I look back to WWF in 2000 where, yes, it wasn't perfect, but you had Too Cool teaming up with the Rock to take on HHH and the Radicalz in one of the hottest RAW main events of all time. You had a red hot tag division taking part in memorable segments--inlcuding TEST AND ALBERT for fuck sake.
Wrestling is just depressing now.

Yeah exactly this. You get a couple of compelling stories throughout the year. You get some cool moments with new people showing up and new feuds starting. But the rest is just the writers doing as little as possible creatively to get to the next week. and that rest is like 90% of the year unfortunately.
To me the most interesting thing from last night was Ziggler and Drew and even that would of been much better had they destroyed guys who haven't been jobbing since the beginning of time.
