As someone who lived through the Triple H early 2000's era, his part in the montreal screwjob and doing his best to hold CM Punk down when he was red hot i find his fail from grace funny as fuck

Yeah, which is why it's so annoying WWE are carrying on with this "who is she?" with Doudrop given she first appeared on wwe programming in 2017 as one of the wrestlers in the first Mae Young Classic

Yeah but most casuals don't watch anything other than RAW or SD can't cater to the 12 people who watch NXT UK.

To be able to sit through all of smack down and raw every week you have to be a diehard these days

not so sure about that myself. Eva Marie was brought back to get/put Doudrop (Viper/Piper Niven) over with the wwe raw/main roster audience and for me she's done exactly that and now Doudrop is getting her big singles push and for however long she's on the main roster, I'll be a massive superfan of hers and will be whenever she leaves WWE (hopefully not for a while yet) and goes back to Japan and the uk independent scene.

Viper has said she wants to have one more run in Japan before she retires as it was in Japan where her wrestling career truly kicked off and she got the nickname "Megaton Barbie"

I am a diehard these days thanks to Viper/Doudrop/Piper Niven, before that I was pretty much didnt watch wwe and was mainly watching Impact

Heard Vince McMahon could be taking over NXT so that's NXT fucked , i never really watched it but i know it was a great show.

True Rustee it happens to nearly all the monster wrestler's.

Get ready for Brock Lesnar Vs Roman Reigns for the NXT Championship.

Man raw really is boring and no I'm not just realising this now just thought I'd break my silence now lol. I would say though that McIntyre and Sheamus are probably two out of a handful who continue to put on decent performances on the raw side but the rest is just meh. I still think losing the third hour would be beneficial but if its what the USA network wants

Saying that I expect at least one if not both of McIntyre and Sheamus will most likely move to Smackdown if the rumoured upcoming draft happens. Raw needs another face who is over with the crowd whilst Orton and Riddle are in their story so I'm guessing Edge or maybe Big E gets drafted to raw. I'm sure whatever happens the crowd will go mild

And to make this post even longer, does anyone think there's any chance Vince sells in the near future as there's been a lot of talk surrounding it over the past months or is he gonna keep going forever and ever....and ever

If the Edge and Rollins story is concluded at Extreme Rules then the way's cleared for him to draft to Raw. Big E moving to SD would make sense, given that there's not realistically any cash in MIB opportunities on Raw. Well, none that would make sense...and Edge's challenge for Reign's universal title is pretty much done. The fans seem into the RK-BRO story now so drafting either Randy or Riddle would be a screw up.

I think there's way too much emphasis on outside interference and disqualifications, plus Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville make triple threat matches for seemingly every PPV now. It all smacks of lazy storytelling for me. Goldberg's feud with Lashley is boring the crap out of me too.

There's more interest in the women's division, Becky and Bianca could be a great long feud.
