Goodbye WWE

I am 40 years old and I have been watching wrestling for the past ten years. Have not missed a show the entire time. I started back up when sitting around on a Thursday/Friday night with my wife and young boys, found Smackdown and kept it on because of the memories. Before that I used to watch a lot when I was a kid during the Hulk Hogan explosion. Sometime after I grew up and got away from it, I knew some of the main characters but never watched consistently. After these ten years, I am getting bored with it now mostly because of the repetitiveness of it all. It is mostly the same thing every week, same matches, same moves over and over. I get starting a rivalry but sometimes it is too much. I have been noticing a lot of things lately that annoy me and just want to make it known what I think the problem is.
I don’t read the message boards often, just when I want to see what happened to a certain wrestler or why they are not getting a push. I don’t think of it as bad writing or creative or maybe that is exactly what it is. I don’t care if someone doesn’t win or who turns heel. That is what makes things interesting. I don’t know how else to get into it so here is why I am taking a break for a while:
Seth Rollins, I don’t mind that he turned but don’t like that he can’t win clean.
Dean Ambrose, wasn’t a fan when he stopped wrestling and just started being crazy. This started as a Shield member and took off from there.
Roman Reigns, I like him and can’t wait for him to be champ.
The Authority, was a good story, loved when they left, hate they are back, let them stay on vacation. The way they act and talk is just over the top.
John Cena, he is who is his.
Brock Lesnar, I know he was only brought back for the name factor but he could do something in the ring besides slap people around and suplexes, that hardly makes him this awesome competitor. The matches with Cena were actually boring.
The Miz, just sucks, always has, always will.
Naomi, just give her the title already.
Michael Cole, over exaggerates but that is his job, all love how he is a fortune teller, calls moves before they happen or a kickout.
JBL just sucks, needs new script, keeps using the same one from the previous week, he’s annoying
Producers or Directors, guys it’s a scripted match, you know when the big moves are coming, don’t show Lana or Jeb when it should be a ring shot, happens too often.
Oh and the flashbacks, too much of the show is what happened last week or earlier in the show or before the commercial break. Don’t help people catch up on what they missed, make them watch or look for it online. You give people an excuse to miss a show, they can just catch the endless recaps.
There are too many shows on TV and people can’t be expected to watch them all, NXT, Main Event? I have better things to do than watch WWE for 4 nights a week.
Last point and maybe the biggest, it’s called WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, wrestling is before entertainment. Stop worrying about wrestler’s mic skills and personally so much and just let them wrestle. A lot of these guys are good at wrestling, show some good action in the ring, not too much mat stuff, guys just holding each other acting like they are in pain, I know its part of the buildup but make them work, flying and running around. These are world class athletes, make them work for that five minutes, actually let them work for 8-10 not the embarrassing 3 minutes. When those two guys from NXT wrestled on Raw some time ago, that was cool. It had a WOW factor, it was exciting.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
One last thing, I think it was bad to combine the championship and to not have the champ defend the title as much. It limits the chances for people to wrestle for something. Can’t have top stars going for second tier titles, IC or US. They deserve shot at the big title. And then to go and not even have the title be defensed or even giving people a chance is worse.

I am going to take a break for a while, maybe things will get better soon.
