Getting tired of the WWE Product

25 10 2006

Yes, I haven’t written a post in a while. I’ve just become burnt out on the crap that is the WWE right now.

Where do I start? K-Fed? Cryme Tyme? DX? Angle’s departure? The Miz? The return of the Boogeyman?

I’m not sure where to start. Monday Night Football’s been very good lately. I was heavily interested in the Giants-Cowboys game presented in HD. I kept flipping back to Raw but I just couldn’t care. Two hours of show and generally it’s awful. It has its moments – but as of late, they’ve been few and far between.

So what now? I’m thinking about giving TNA a shot. (If you’re snickering because that sounds like a dirty joke, then you probably love the DX skits.) Impact isn’t that long a show and they’re forced to tell stories in a meaningful way in a short amount of time. Compare that to the bloated 5 hours of television owned by the WWE. They have so much time that they can’t possibly come up with good material for every show.

As much as I enjoy watching Edge heel a crowd or Finley kick someone’s ass – I just don’t think I can watch these shows like I used to. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old. Maybe I just don’t think DX is funny and they’re on TV a lot. Maybe I can’t stand to hear another Randy Orton promo, an Orton Promo (Did you get that? He repeats things a lot. If you haven’t noticed that before, take a listen the next time).

So what will this site be about if it isn’t about the current WWE product? Probably more NWA-TNA wrestling, WWE PPVs (late, since I’ll probably wait for the DVD on Netflix), other DVDs and probably specific matches. I’ll record the shows, and maybe fast-forward to something that may be good.

So the State of Wrestling is not good, kids (at least on the WWE-side of things). Anyone want to try to buy the company from Vince? Get some new writers? I don’t know – maybe have wrestling matches that have storylines and wrestlers who desire to be the champion? Crazy, I know.

I have issues with NWA as well. Many wrestlers are spot-machines who don’t know how to tell a story – so who knows how many spot-fests I can sit through? Their set looks like something out of American Gladiators with the silly lasers. And as much as I think JR has lost a step in announcing, I’d much rather hear him than Don West screaming every second. The guy sounds like a shop at home infomercial host.

I dont know when was the last time i saw a full weekly show , i always fast forward , from time to time i will see a full ppv show but rarely .

After Wrestlemania , cm punk won Money in the bank 2 times in a row , santina won the battle royal and most of the other matches , i have enough of this garbage .

I dont like any other wrestling federation , i like characters and themes , after all this is a tv serie and only wwe do the job in this matter , nothing in characters in the last 5 years , music still the best .

Dx have his success but not anymore , getting totally boring , only like to the stupid kids , same with John cena , always the same champions and is very annoying

Undertaker is another example , was the phenom in the past , people get crazy to see him live , is an incredible experience but see him in the tv after so many years isnt so great anymore , still ok .

I love Kane but everytime give me less interesting , hope Maked Kane will be back someday , even for 1 day will be cool .

I agree , 5 hours full of garbage , I miss the good old days when even Sunday Night Heat was a great show .

The oldies characters will disappear and since theres no new characters , every year the Wwe is going down .
