And it'll most likely be trash by the 3rd episode. Not to mention the fact that it takes them minimum of a year after shooting alot of this to get it onto the network, and it's usually overstayed it's welcome by the 5th episode (ask Swerved about that). Anything that isn't Total Divas is a waste of time in their eyes, which is a shame.
Regarding SS. It was a heaping pile of trash, and I went in with REALLY REALLY low expectations. I figured there'd be a chance Cena/Rollins could be good and it almost was ok. New Day winning was fun, but the most entertaining part of that match was Sin Botcha trying to murder fools. I couldn't even tell you the rest of the card the next day. Undertaker is old, both in age and in usefulness. No matter how you cut it, you just kind of made Brock just as useless as Taker now for the next 6 months unless they blow off the feud at HIAC which then makes this loss even dumber. Taker has 1 match left in him if he's lucky, now you have Brock taking a stupid loss (because when has the timekeeper ever rang a bell without being told?) and he really has nothing to do until he gets his "revenge"
But don't worry, we MAY get 60 year old Sting tonight on Raw. Nothing like more extremely old men to get the nostalgia pop that can't actually compete anymore.
Idiots, the whole lot of them. And me for watching this trash...

lol Tough Enough is terrible, but I started watching after Hogan's "removal", and it's been riveting television because of how awful it is. None of them can wrestle, the whole judging and voting concept is screwed up...I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but I thank them for being so wrong. The key with this style of show(I consider myself a conoisseur since I watch The Challenge, Inkmaster, Masterchef) is that you never give the power to the audience. Fan votes always make for terrible outcomes. ZZ should clearly have been eliminated the first week but every week he just says how much he loves the fans and pleas for them and they eat it up. Not to mention wrestling is specificallyt bad for fan voting bc the viewership skews real young so its always gonna favor a huge baby face. The judges keep telling ppl to act like heels but acting like a dick is gonna lose you votes The first one with guys like Nidia, Josh Matthews, Maven and etc. was a decent one i guess. Didn't really remember much of it since it was long ago for starters but that one really had the feel of a real reality tv show for up and coming wwe stars... and no fan voting (not sure), gimmicks, etc. Had legit written all over. You could eventually tell its legit since the two winners (Maven and Nidia) got cut too early from wwe (because despite of their in-ring abilities, didnt cut it in the mic/charisma/cenaqualities department), although i think they could've deserved a better push, maven was legit tho. dude can sell better than Ziggler. makes me smh when i see guys like swagger, the miz, rollins, and all the post-2010 youngsters that wwe pushed like hell through the years. Whereas the other talented bunch like ziggler, evan bourne, shelton benjamin, etc. didnt get as much.

I'd agree with Swagger being a waste, and while the Miz may be pretty basic in the ring, he has more charisma then Ziggler/Bourne/Benjamin combined. Rollins is an excellent wrestler with average to slightly above average mic skills. He is also somebody that they trust to go out and represent them. While he never was given a big singles push, I do remember a time they tried to push Bourne since he was a "Steph" guy and he was mostly awful. Maybe he had more to offer, but if he wasn't able to get that to translate to TV thats on him. Shelton was given a bunch of chances to get over and never really clicked either. He had a great tag team run with Team Angle and had the big win over HHH on raw and put on a match of the year candidate against HBK after that. However he was all time bad on the mic, I'd argue MVP was all around better then Shelton and would probably be welcomed back with open arms.

Glad I found this board, I went to Summerslam in Brooklyn this past weekend boys. Had tickets to NXT that I had to end up selling. Looks like we are getting Taker/Brock 3(even though its Taker/Brock 11) for any of you that have been watching for 25 years like myself.

As far as the Miz goes, He is what he is. His clothes make me crack up on a weekly basis. Mis vs. Ryback vs. Big Show was my one an only bathroom break when I went to Brooklyn.

WWE Survivor Series 2015
This Sunday already, and this is the card so far. I can't say I have any expectations for this card, well other then potentially a bunch of booing.
World Title Tournament Semis and Finals:
Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens Alberto Del Rio vs. Roman Reigns
Winners face off for the title
Divas Championship Charlotte(C) vs. Paige
Undertaker and Kane vs. 2 of the Wyatt Family (Cause why give away who's on the card right?)
Tyler Breeze vs. Dolph Ziggler
Random 5 on 5 TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES MATCH
lol, Still no idea who the 5 on 5 are. If I had to guess it'll be New Day + 2 others vs. Usos, Ryback, and 2 others.
So this is just awful looking on paper, the title tourney has been a joke since the news came out Roman was winning the belt originally when it was him vs. Rollins, and it'd make WAY to much sense to do the heel turn so Roman can find his character.
Divas match only has any heat cause of Paige bashing Charlottes brother who died (poor taste, even for WWE). The Brothers of Age have already squashed all 4 Wyatts, so why would 2 be a match for two 50 yr old men.
I love Breeze, but this is just silly, and lol at the 5 on 5 announcement today but yet no announcement of the talent even on the Smackdown taping today.

Reigns have been penciled in to win for awhile. Hoping for a swerve. Of course WWE is pushing 25 years of Undertaker. Never mind they have done a horrible creative job with the rest of the roster.

Jesus, how many PPVs does WWE sell to the masses? I'd have a hard time paying $29.99+ (is it $49.99 nowadays?) every 2 months which is what it seems like is how long it takes between PPVs.

Well I don't think they expect people to actually pay for them individually anymore (Cause they mock you if you do), they either want your 9.99 a month or just use a new email every month for free memberships
