looking at results, there has been some form of a new day vs. sheamus's group match like every week for the past 3 months... insane
How can anyone watch this... seems like literally the same show with like the same 10 roster members every single week |

Hell in a Cell is a good card I may watch it.

Am I right in thinking there are still no SmackDown matches at Hell In A Cell? “Stone Cold” Riddick Mosstin vs Corbin and Ricochet vs GUNTHER both on TV next week?

Oh my mistake, Corbin/Moss is on the card for HIAC. Of all the potential matches from SmackDown I wouldn’t have gone for that one.

I genuinely don’t get the internet’s complaint about rematches. They act like two people having a match back-to-back weeks is some kind of assassination attempt on their interest. It seems like “fake outrage” to me. It’s more action. It’s usually part of the story. People act like if Xavier Woods was wrestling Angel Garza this week instead of Butch it would make something magical happen. Lol, what?

Everyone has the same match. I don’t know why people pretend it’s so different if it’s technically two different people on paper. I guess kayfabe isn’t dead for some.

Because the action in the ring is/should be secondary to the story. The same formulaic match with slightly differing results should be driving story progression. If the same acts have been going backwards and forwards for 3 months it speaks to a lack of story progression. It also means there’s “nothing left on the table” for what should be the payoff.

The championship contender match is a dumb idea. Just watched RAW and now watching SD. Riddle and Nakamura have a tag title match after winning a championship contender match.
I know not everyone watches both in the same day but I literally just saw these teams face off 20 minutes ago. |

I’m not saying run Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre every week. But you could run it several times and tell a story with it that doesn’t warrant the internet groans that it would get. |

It certainly can and in some instances it does (see Cody/Seth for example). You can also go too far the other way (see AEW promoting Dante Martin vs Rey Fenix meeting for the first time as a “Dream Match”).
It’s also fine if you’re not looking to payoff the rivalry at a big show, and with the current model for WWE they don’t even really need to try and build an A1 card for every big show. The question in this instance would be, “what story has been driven forward in the 3 months New Day have been feuding with the Bruise Buddies?”. At some point you have to start heading to the finish line. |

Lol @ WWE needing to hot-shot a title shot on SmackDown because they’re desperate to catch up.

Having gotten used to the WWE hype machine over the past 20 years, I expected this ratings grab to be underwhelming but… Jesus Christ.
