ParanoidObsessive 07/02/19 8:26:32 PM #385:	The Wave Master posted... Just checking in to say that WWE has been really bad in and out of the ring since Mania. WWE is in that horroble hovering period until Summerslam where nothing happens, and they just have to fill 5 hours of television content a week, nor to mention that those terrible WWE Netwoek shows that P.O. is right, nobody watches. In good wrestling I have been watch new Japan, and I watched Wrestle Kingdom and Dominion, and that was some great stuff. I wish I wasn't horsing money because the G1 is in Dallas this coming weekend, not sa ing for a house is more important. No extra trips or video games for a while. I continue to pray that AEW winds up being a viable alternative. Though to be honest my current wrestling fandom is helped by the fact that I don't actually watch weekly TV, just the PPVs, where I get drunk and socialize with friends - which takes a LOT of the bitterness out of it. If I was watching Raw and Smackdown every week I'd probably wind up hanging myself. Broken_Zeus posted... On that note, I figure I'll just list all the Divas/women's wrestlers I can remember from the WWE over the years (well, without seeing their name or image first) I'm going to be honest, if you held a gun to my head and asked me to name female wrestlers who were in the WWE after the end of the Attitude Era and before the current era (so, say, between 2000-2015 or so), I'd be hard-pressed to name half that many. Then again, I probably couldn't name most male wrestlers from that time period either. Broken_Zeus posted... Maryse, who I liked but I couldn't remember her name. Just googled "Miz's wife" I've met her in real life. She's actually super nice. Taily_Po posted... I might give an episode of Raw a chance. That angle happened so they could destroy the set, to justify getting a new one. Supposedly it's going to debut next week. Also, this just happened within the last week or so, but Vince has apparently gone into panic mode and rehired Paul Heyman to be in charge of Raw and Eric Bischoff in charge of Smackdown. And not in a "on-screen authority figure" type way, in a "running things backstage and answerable only to Vince" sort of way. Their influence probably won't really be felt full-on until after the next PPV, but people are already claiming they can feel Heyman's influence on last night's Raw, and he was definitely supposed to be behind the scenes and dealing with wrestlers, so at least some of it might be his idea. So Raw and Smackdown might actually be worth watching in the near future, either because they've improved to the point of being entertaining if Vince's influence can be minimized, or because they've become a glorious car wreck that you can't help averting your eyes from once the wheels start coming off. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:924164842] in PotdMon: N...
