What if Kevin Dunn directed Saved By The Bell?
This is what happens when you refused to put someone over back in the day. Just replace them with Bret and Shawn. Vince is Mr. Belding of course.

Sounds like it's time for a Superstar Shake-UpTM
(Trade all of Smack Down for Raw)
Sometimes it feels like things get rushed to fit around the touring/taping/Takeover specials. Finn/Owens and Nakamura/Roode's builds felt more natural.
Nakamura/Joe had their first match in August and then 3 title matches between November 19th and December 8th to work with the Japan/Australia tour.
Finn/Joe also had that house show title change in the middle of it though I can't remember if that was due to Finn being injured.
Smackdown is now 2 hours of Talking Smack with DBry!!
Sam Insayn is finally gonna get past the glass ceiling!

Can't tell which is funnier, this or the "of course Disney would buy WWE" marks
Legit regularly see people comparing it to Star Wars in terms of money and audience. Think of the ratings!!!!! lmfao

Joe vs Finn went like half a year.
Man... imagine if WWE would die and TNA would still be alive?

Meltzer is mostly right about how the NJPW fighting spirit BS has permeated the sport. The difference for me with Rollins is that the knee injury has taken over his character; he can't have a match that doesn't end up about that fucking knee now.
I hope you feel better, friend.
May I ask what's going on? If you don't feel like opening up, that's fine, but if you do, don't hold back man. If you want to feel free to hit me up to talk.
Regardless, I hope things get better.

Brock would be a legitimate draw with or without the title.
He doesn't elevate it by having it.
He takes away a tool they have - probably the ONLY tool they have - to get viewers invested into thinking any of the 3 hours they waste each and every Monday actually matters.
And I say only tool because they sure as fuck don't build and develop midcard storylines any more. It's all 50/50 garbage where nobody comes out looking good or being built up for anything.
All they have left is Owen voices and Cole reiterating ad nauseum how much we should cheer for some loser.

Yup. Cut payroll while you are at it. Some of these dudes are terrible personalities.

This Laura Vs Alex Windsor match from the last PROGRESS show is much better on tape than I thought live. I think the dead crowd hurt it live.
Permanently? If so, wow... Fuck TJP.

Umm... It was the NBA Playoffs fault and because Raw was taped! TAPED I SAY! NBA NBA NBA!
I honestly can't wait to see what excuses they have when viewership drops below two million on a live Raw.

So did DIY/Revival. Length alone is not the issue.
Show is usually only 40-45 min long anyway

I did it!
No one watched it, wonder if the poor ratings of 205 will make WWE reconsider​ the uk shows or future shows?

Other than TJP, I like/love everyone on 205. In that environment though, I couldn't give less of a shit

So they cut 10 mins? The show was never an hour long. Talking Smack is also actually not 30 mins long either.
You say this as if TNA is not immortal lol
Ouch... On a brighter note, that's one good username.

Did it? They feuded for Toronto and Brooklyn, and then that was it since DIY went for AOP and then the triple threat tag.

205 Live is a bad wrestling show. I wonder what they will do with all this talent now. That makes me sad.
They dropped the ball in every single way with 205 Live.
Oh no, the bullshit will still be in it. There will be a quick match and kind of a main.

They added AOP to the mix, but the story between DIY and Revival didn't end until Orlando.
We'd finally be free.
Could you have imagine Kota Ibushi on it?

It should make them reconsider the employment status of whoever wrote and booked for 205.

Fair enough but that's different then Finn vs Joe which didn't have any other stuff thrown in between it. It was just them feuding.

I think they finally noticed everyone in 205 Live is bigger than Balor.

They wanted him to be the star and champ. Not a doubt in my mind that if he'd signed, this would have sunk his career

I shudder to think.
I wonder if he would be in Tozawa's spot, being taught lessons by Kendrick. Or maybe he would end up a cuckold after a relationship with Alicia Fox.
Fucking hell.
Every single one of us would start watching anime instead, as it is basically pro-wrestling. I don't think that's a better curse.

Vince won't fire himself.
If the division were to fold, they would probably just put those guys in NXT or the UK show.

Eww, no.
Would Vince fire Vince?

205 Live is really good with the actual belt but everything else is a disaster
That Tozawa vs Kendrick feud is just...ugh.
