I think the above poster just meant, as hot as Austin was, feuding with the evil Vince was a perfect storm. Austin was white hot and Vince was the evil boss. It was basically their target demographics day dream. Great pairing.

I'm with you on Ryan Tito, it's too much. Just saying though, all promotions have their cheese, but I agree this one is just over the top for me personally. I won't let it ruin the show though.

I know I personally wasn't planning on watching because I had other plans and it did seem a bit steep in price, but at the last minute I ended up ordering it and can say it was a solid show from top to bottom. Some things were better than others obviously and I could have done without the Joey Ryan segment entirely, felt embarrassing to me, but overall a great show. I just hope Tito didn't skip the show then watch a free stream, after the "support" article he did.

When Tito makes the cruiser argument about NXT I knew he didn't watch or watch close enough to be taken seriously, there are too many guys that exceed the 205 or even 220 to list here. I enjoy his columns and would be interested in his insight on NXT if he continued.

I guess I'm old school but they Joey Ryan stuff is really just over the top and insulting to me, was glad no one was in the room when it happened because it was just so embarrassing.

HBK is one of my favorite all time wrestlers, top 5 easily. At his age and being gone for 8 years I'm not sure I want him to come back, the fan in me wants to see it but there's that piece of me that just wants to remember what he was. With these special super shows using older talent like Undertaker and HHH, I could see HBK coming back for one of them, probably before WrestleMania.

He's milking it for sure.

I totally agree with the territories argument, Austin and Ross both have been discussing this for years on their podcast as a big issue with todays wrestling scene.

If you added traditional viewing, Hulu and youtube you'd easily get over five million views per episode of Raw.

Wrestling is full of cheese, every promotion has it. I guess it just depends what you're willing to tolerate.

Very true, love wrestling but I just can't do that many hours per week. Find it much more enjoyable to catch youtube clips of the main roster, then catch NXT and maybe Impact then the monthly PPV.

As for Tessa, I think all wrestlers and styles are subjective. I think she plays an amazing heel, great on the mic and good enough in the ring for only being 22 I think. I see the diamond in the rough with her.

We can agree to disagree then. I'm not going to assume who is or isn't on roids, but feel like Cage, Lashley and Ryback all look like they would be likely candidates. Ryback was there a decade with no issues so I don't see why Cage would have that particular problem.

I watched 2005-2012 then came back in early 2018, always sampled but was usually let down until recently. It's a solid show but I get your point, I'm in the same boat with two young kiddos, wife, work, etc... Honestly that's what pushes me away from WWE. 3 hours of Raw and 2 hours of smackdown is a lot, especially when they don't really have a lot going on. I've watched WWE since 1985 and I don't think I'll ever not follow them, but with TV the way it is right now I'm more of an NXT and PPV guy with some Impact sprinkled in.

Love Tessa, think she's one of the ladies that's a blue print for what this generation of ladies is all about, but if you don't watch impact you're not seeing a lot of her. Even if you did, it's subjective though. I'm not a Charlotte fan, but I know people that love her. To each his own.
