I'd just like to see less snark and passive aggressiveness in general. And if people are called out for being generally snarky and passive aggressive, I would like to see those people quit with this weird behavior where they deny it in such a way that their denial serves as further confirmation that they are being snarky and passive aggressive.

You don't think there's a reason people want to go against the system though? I think you're on to something as far as what they're trying to do now, because putting Roman against Bryan was a blatantly antagonistic move, but I really don't think that was the plan from the start or that it's the best plan either.
I mean, I'm a sample size of one, but I did legit cancel my Network sub and started watching way less of their product than before for a reason, and going by the lower ratings from over the past couple months leading up to WM, I don't think I'm alone there. Yeah there were a lot of people kidding themselves and the hardest of the hardcore are going to lap it up regardless, but playing that meta game is really playing with fire.
I agree with all of this.
smackdown absolutely not, i'd say raw is worth watching since it's the main show and it's where the main storylines happen, though you can watch a condensed version on hulu if 3 hours is too much
Nick Gage fitting to put hardcore wrasslin back on the map.
CTC is like barbed wire in my stomach. I can't eat it despite how good it taste.
It's mostly his fault for not getting over or not telling Vince to stick it when it came to those promos and PPV interviews.
Austin was able to get over because he fought tooth and nail to maintain his character with creative.
Punk had to do the same thing. If you don't have a Kevin Nash/Roman Reigns/The Rock look or family connections you aren't going to get the easy push.
Roman probably just went into work and he clocked in and clocked out.

I wonder why they would have listed for Murphy's merit.

I must say I actually enjoy the conversations in here, though sometimes it's hard to tell when people are being serious with what they say. I suppose I haven't been around long enough to say if it is declining but this is one of the few groups on GAF in which I still find it enjoyable to post and discuss.
I guess if I was forced to name one thing, the thread can go through phases that are a bit overly negative with regards to certain angles or shows. But I guess that's more of a problem with internet hyperbole than a problem with this group in particular.

I generally like wrasslegaf, its a community, communities have things like people disagreeing and being grumpuses sometimes.
I do hate posting something and then immediately getting a "no that's shit" post after, which happens a lot but I think that's just an internet thing, brehs 8)
It also happens a lot when you're a JoMo mark 8) 8) 8)
things that would make it better are the return of the creepy yellow vince gif and I dunno we should do a mass summerslam review since we didn't do mania this year.

I might do the hulu thing if I miss it. I usually don't have anything going on Mondays so I figure I can just leave it on the TV while I'm doing whatever. I didn't realize it was 3 now. I'm used to it being 2.

It's nice that friend strobogo found his pro wrestling smile again
No lie the whole month of February was disturbing as hell with the large amount of negativity around these parts. It became ultra unpleasant on the eyes and made me contemplate on taking a break when it comes down to wrestling. The thought still goes through my head from time to time but it goes away once I watch a good match and see a funny gif.
but yeah...it's cool to have some smark tendencies but some folks get caught up to the point they start to believe in their own shit. Wrestling is serious business but it can be fun as well.

It's not even found my pro wrestling smile, because besides post WM Raw, I haven't watched WWE TV since November, tried LU/ROH/NJPW on a real TV last month and have no plans to go back to any of them. It's just...there are tons of options. WWE has Cesaro, Bryan, and Rollins as champs and people are still finding ways to complain. LU apparently puts on MOTYC that I'm not into, so I don't watch them and don't care. For some people, ROH is on a roll. There are too many options of what to watch, old and new, to be stuck on "Vince likes X" "Make X look strong" "BERRIED" kind of trash.
WM was a fun ass show and that's all I ask. I don't give a shit where things are heading afterwards, how Seth is going to lose the title, how Roman is going to win the title. I enjoyed a show and that was that.

Why is it when Bryan does what he's told without complaining, the fans riot in his favor, but when Reigns does what he's told without complaining, the fans riot against him? Especially when they were fine with him winning 2 Rumbles ago (and in the process not doing what he's told) when everyone knew Batista was winning.
Less of the, let's call it "extended sarcasm", would go a long way.

Now, if you have gifs disabled, why do you care if there are fewer gifs?
Carnby, I have to ask you
I'm down to Raw, WWE PPVs, NXT PPVs and NJPW. And I'm normally only half paying attention to Raw when it's on. I used to watch TNA, Smackdown, Main Event, etc. but I cut all that shit out over the past couple of years. NJPW is the only WWE alternative I need. I've heard good things about Lucha Underground, but I'm trying to watch less, not more.

Presumably he sees a great deal of blank posts.
The only time I really give WWE my undivided attention is PPVs. RAWs I can watch in 60 minutes.

The watermark should be FNP, not FNH.
That's a good point but I think people are more likely to defend somebody not getting the full support/push of a company vs somebody who is. Plus I'm sure many of the fans feel that the belt is a reward for somebody being talented vs Vince who sees it as a plot device.
I think one of the reasons I like NXT is that I'm never asking myself Who should win? but rather Who is gonna win? as most of the talent there
