Idk about anyone else but I feel like Sasha was better in NXT and by better I mean better in everything. Workrate, mic skills, character, she was just better.

She tries so hard to be like her heros like eddie or her college like finn but the thing is that she doesnt have the training or the experience to be like them.

That's grrrrreat
So I'm finishing my month of 1999 with the October PPV, No Mercy. 1999 is a great year for WWF overall, one where they could have taken off the gas considering what WCW did but instead poured it on while installing an afterburner.
I'll make a big post about it later I think.

Did you ever watch her in NXT?
Boots, Flammeable, will Rev Pro upload this match
If not I may have to start breaking down some doors.
Good shit, happy that good work is being rewarded.

Taue was the big strong guy who was probably the most like Baba right down to the red trunks. I like him but agree his best work is in tags - him and Kawada were amazing.

You're enough of a draw with the front office you got a Lesnar contract? smh

Snitches help make the world go 'round, Friend Seph. I've put in the work.
SD got that great score even when it was Ambrose/Corbin in that main event. Ambrose made Corbin look the best he's looked so far as well. Styles coming in with his headband wearing and you combine that with the fact that Slater's over too?
SD is killing it out in these streets. I hope they end up surpassing Raw.

Yeah, you'd definitely see it in the Kobashi/Misawa vs Kawada/Taue matches, but a lot of the time in singles the crowd would really root for Taue as the underdog. Especially against Misawa, who always seemed to have no time for Taue's shit in any of their singles encounters.
Some great matches with Misawa and Kobashi, a FANTASTIC match vs Nagata and his awesome bout with Marufuji from 2006. Also, the older he gets the grumpier he gets, so random tags where he's facing upstart youngsters like Yone and Morishima become a whole lot more fun due to Taue getting pissed off and letting all hell loose.

In views? Better nope not because odds are Vince panics and sends all of the Smackdown talent to Raw.
Well that's...certainly different.
WWE really should have considered this during The Shield years. There are some awesome Six Man Tags all the way up until the the final Evolution/Shield match. Usually one or two good ones a month, every month, for almost two years.

SD that good now? Do they do Raw highlights so I don't have to watch Raw? Can I watch back eps on SD to catch up?

Boots did jumbo ever mix it up with misses/Kobashi
Well, it's a good thing you know to report criminal activity to your local law enforcement

The WWE YouTube channel upload clips from both Raw and Smackdown soon after or even during the shows when airing. Pretty much all the moments get added, but they tend to not upload the full thing, so for a match you'll likely get the last four minutes, or a segment will jump around a few times.
why don't you stop pretending to not be interested in WWE and just skip through the shows on online streams in 20 minutes, stopping at whatever segments you are interested in watching
squaredcircle posts the streams. we don't here but you don't need to pretend you don't google at least. it'll take two seconds to get your access.
i mean i'm sorry pal but i just don't buy the whole 'wwe...heh i don't watch that shit. i watch every other fed though' stuff.

It's about the same. There's good parts and bad parts in both. Raw was much better this week. It's the show that has Owens, Jericho, New Day, Seth, and Sasha.
Heel Batista during his WWE Title run was fucking awesome
Watch:
RAW after the draft. Avoid that week's Smackdown.
All the Smackdowns up to Summerslam
The AJ vs Cena match from Summerslam
Go back to Smackdown and continue
For pure quality matches, watch the CWC tournament. A couple of dud matches, but otherwise consistently good to brilliant.
NXT: You can get away with watching all the Takeovers you've missed and skipping the inbetween bits.

Starting right after the Draft on whichever brand (or both if you have a lot of time) interests you is a great starting point.
Smackdown is great! Raw is alright, still too much. But SD...oh yeah.
SD is the better show most weeks. The first draft week Raw was better and this week Raw was better but all the other weeks SD has been better. It's also a shorter show, more focused. I'd say watch SD and then just watch the Raw highlights.

Brand split being a ratings success is Crazy(for now)
I think many always follow from the periphery. I went 6-8 months only following the WWE through podcasts because the actual shows sounded dull. After last week's Smackdown, I'm more on board again. Gonna give them a chance for a few months and see what develops.

No need for this, Reddit is a shitpit and not worth visiting, don't make assumptions like this!
We accept everyone. Even all bad wredditors.
Find me the bet receipts. It was a work, brother.

Thought it was "Gangstas make the world go round"?
I agree heel Batista was awesome
Can't wait for the highest ratings since D-Bry!
okay mcmahon, okay. maybe i assumed too much and flew off the dang handle. maybe DTA. i'll keep it to a minimum.

Uhhhh.
Other feds are easier to get into. With other feds, all I have to do is go to my last watched show. WWE, with all of its amount of content, has highs and lows. It's a much less safe bet thing.
Sometimes getting caught up on WWE is like getting back into fucking comic books. They've got Raw, Smackdown, the PPVs, all of this shit. The reason I'm asking is because I need a point of reference. Since I haven't watched WWE in months, and I fully flat out fucking said that Kevin Owens as Universal champ interests me to the point where I wanna catch up on WWE. I never said I have no interest in WWE. That's just your WWE mark watching ass getting panties in a bunch and putting words in my mouth.

It helps that NJPW tells the majority of its stories in the ring. I love that so much about them. So accessible.
Did you watch the G1? Have you accepted Kenny Omega as your wrestling lord and savior?
it's okay pal. i won't fight you any longer. it just hit me the wrong way.

Like I said, last pre-DB retirement ppv I watched was Wrestle Kingdom. I'll just watch NJPW ppvs in order starting with WK for a refresher.

Watch the draft, then watch Smackdown and Smackdown PPVs. Fuck everything else. Raw looks like its still going to be the Steph and HHH show, but this time starring Kevin Owens instead of Seth and Roman.
Give it until WM season.

Okay. Here's the plan.
Get WWE Network again. Watch the Takeovers I've missed and then watch from NXT Brooklyn 16 to current. Watch Draft stuff on YouTube. Then Smackdown stuff I guess?
Get NJPW World again. Watch Wrestle Kingdom until current.
I'll wait for Lucha season 2 to finish to watch it.
This shouldn't take too long to catch up.
