Not even mad, just feel very hollow by this point. I pretty much sat here for the past 7 hours and had no surprises or anything memorable at all.
Just proves modern wrestling is dead by pushing the same old shit over and over instead of new talent or something different. I really do wonder if wrestling post 2007 and onward is going to be looked at as a a Lost Generation of sorts.

I wasn't blaming Braun, faggot. I was just saying the only other option for the main event of mania was another match with two guys who have no chemistry. Lesnar for some reason prefers small dudes because of that.

I don't know about you guys but I used to like braun till WWE killed him with teaming up with a 10 year and sealed the deal by Lesnar squashing him at Crown Jewel so whatever, I dont mind Rollins winning, Brock is probably retaining the title at Mania either way.
Becky vs Ronda main event? Eh.

No, you were just saying "it was the one pop from this rumble" and I was just saying that the most washed up of wash-ups form the 90's who once literally had a gold selling scheme is not a "surprise" to anyone because we both know when people talk about a "surprise for the rumble" they mean something they'll enjoy not something they'll forget even happened in a week.

But that's the point, mainstream was basically the only good place to get wrestling and everything else was low budget shit. Nowadays mainstream wrestling is trash but the low budget shit is now low budget sort of okay that is palatable because it's not mainstream.
It's not just wrestling I notice this pattern in either, it feels like a lot of entertainment is struggling for this exact reason where the mainstream is bad and the alternates are too small/low budget to compete.

I don't know why he won the belt back to begin with so why wouldn't he retain at Mania, WWE doesn't seem to have much of an idea what to do with the Universal title really, almost seem comfortable with Brock holding it. Also I don't feel like rollins would be the man to beat brock but well who knows.

Yeah pretty much everyone was expecting Wyatt, KO, Zayn, or even Lars Sullivan if he stopped being a nervous pussy. Jarrett was a surprise but he wasn't the impactful type of surprise. Even Nia left more of an impact and surprise than him and they do that stupid wahmen showing up in men's RR every once in a while.

Lesnar may like to fight midgets because it allows him to throw them around with ease for 10min and then only take a small 5min beating from them before pinning them. Easy for him.

Nah, I think we just need to expand our horizons and stop relying on WWE, TNA, and Lucha Underground for our wrestling. Just start looking into Indies, UK, and Japan for more wrestling needs. The WWE is beyond help at this moment. It's like a patient in a coma, and we are just waiting for that flat line. It's cool that peeps like AJ and Samoa Joe can get a paycheck for what they do, but if this is the best the WWE can bring us, we just have to go our separate ways. I still like those two, but I have to sit through all this slop just to get to it. And the crowd, OH MY FUCKING GOD the crowd was just terrible. That is also one way that a crowd can kill the vibe. UK crowds are always fun because that is what they are about. They can make a shitty match watchable. But this crowd was like Richard Spencer on a podcast. Just soul sucking. But I don't bolieve wrestling is dead, it's just WWE is starting to slow down and die. Like Paul London said, "I think the WWE will be better when Vince McMahon is dead."

I like NJPW but I guess growing up with WWE does make me miss that kind of wacky over the top storylines and matches sometimes. Too bad WWE completely dropped the ball.

It's kind of like TNA crowds, they can have great matches, but when you get normie fucks to watch your matches, it just becomes unwatchable. You need a hot crowd.

It's funny because TNA pays like half their crowds and the ones they pay give off a more normie impression than the actual normies. It's like they find random non-wrestling fans off the side of the street and pay them to just stand their with a fake "i'm into this" expression.

Especially when your crowd are visitors at Universal Studios Florida. So we all know that most of them only watch WWE stuff. As for the others that watch other things, or who don't watch wrestling at all are even more bored.

Also in contrast to all of them, Nia was just smugly smiling the whole time, no seriousness at all unlike the other women. Well Kharma smiled but in a twisted way and was oart of her gimmick. Also all previous women always entered earlier as a part of the ones to entertain the crowd like other guest entrants. Nia coming at the end took away a lot of seriousness from the end of the rumble all the time she was there.

Still remember that Al Snow quote that 'Wrestling is a mirror of society', and that if you dont like the state of wrestling, yiu probably dont like society as well. It sure fits here.
