my hopeful winners

If Joe and Nakamura don't go over I think I'm officially done. I haven't watched regularly in a long time (no cable) and the main reason I got the network last month was for the NXT show. Might sign up for New Japan's service in June to see Dominion.
---

Yes, excited for miz/rollins
---

screw that. AJ retains and Joe wins would be the best. and then we can have THEM in a match next. I'm sorry but Nakamura in WWE has been the drizzling shits, absolutely hasn't lived up to his hype
---

Nakamura is losing to set up AJ/Joe
---

Everything I've seen from Nakamura in WWE has been fine, but I could live with AJ vs. Joe. I'd much rather see Nakamura take the title and D-Bry challenge him Summerslam, but that's probably hoping for too much.

AJ vs Joe is a good match, though with how they are setting joe up, I don't know kayfabe how aj can stand up to him

Not too interested in the hard, hope Aj retains

yeah, but I have no idea why.
---

We got some good matches tonight.

I really REALLY hope that they let Samoa Joe beat baby gurl!

WWE Smackdown Women's Championship:
Carmella (c) vs. Charlotte Flair

Can't believe that's a thing. I know I haven't watched in ages, but Carmella even wrestle at this point?
---

WWE has way too many "special events" these days. They lose their special value when there is one (sometimes two) every month.

it took a ton of shenanigans, including the MITB cashin. I don't expect many clean defenses.

Havent watched wrestling since the end of WWF and transitioning into the WWE era.... is it worth watching again at this point?

Why would I watch this fake bullshit lmao

I watch WWE wrestling occasionally, no real knowledge of what's going on but since they moved away from pay per view a few years back, is there a "special" on every weekend? Where they show photos of the special on TV instead of actual fucking video?

I had a trial with the WWF network but didn't bother renewing after a month. I can't understand how they seem to make more programmes in a week than there actually are hours in the week itself. There's saturated content and then there's WWF. Really don't think I'm missing much if it's being made available 24/7 for the "look look something interesting might happen!!" style of advertising.

They've had at least one every month for 20+ years...

New Japan, RoH and (even though I'm not a huge fan) Lucha Underground.
NXT is also great. maybe even the best PPV in the business right now.
Impact, Raw and Smackdown are rarely better than average, and most of their PPVs just feel like longer episodes.

also, god dammit, TC didn't mark the topic for spoilers again.

I don't see how that changes anything. Back when there were only 4-5 PPVs per year, they actually took the time to build up feuds over months, telling a story in the process so that when the adversaries finally battled, it meant something. Now the PPVs are essentially no different than an episode of Raw or Smackdown.
