It sounds insane to be making this criticism after years of complaining that there wasn't enough wrestling on WWE TV, but there's no reason Ambrose and Owens need to wrestle anyone every week. Looking back to the Attitude Era, if you want to take that as the "standard", does anyone remember the two minute, insignificant midcard TV matches that lead to the pay-per-view matches, or do they remember the angles? Does anyone remember any of the Val Venis matches that Kaientai got involved in, or do they just remember "choppy choppy your pee pee"?

Tyler Breeze is, to me, the biggest example of how badly they're missing the point. Breeze shouldn't be wrestling every week, but he should absolutely be on TV every week. Show vignettes of him at photoshoots or in exotic locations, get him seats at genuine fashion events and show footage of that, have him come out to the ring to unveil a new photoshoot or new line of clothing. And that's for a character with an easily represented, easy to understand gimmick ready made, but what could you do with characters without that? You flesh them out. You teach the audience who they are, what they're all about. Aside from a dumb hairdo, crazy bumps, and gear that would be befitting of a CAW version of Shawn Michaels...what is Dolph Ziggler?

The whole point of wrestling-as-entertainment is that you have all these larger than life characters interacting with one another, but where's the appeal in that if their interactions are all the same? Wrestling match after wrestling match after wrestling match every week does nothing to embrace the appeal of these characters.

This. All day long.

It'd cut back on all these injuries/potentially give guys a bit more longevity, and would reduce the 50/50 booking. How they don't get this is beyond me.

Theory: It's ludicrous to think Shane McMahon has a chance against the Undertaker. Let's operate under the assumption that he's going to win. The question is how?

Finn Balor loses the NXT title to Joe at Takeover Dallas.

Balor, Gallows, and Anderson take out the Undertaker during the Hell in the Cell match for Shane to win. Shane gets Raw, and the Bullet [or Balor] Club just took out the Undertaker and have colossal momentum.

don't be so ridiculous

Taker has to run off the side of the cell, hover in mid air whilst still 'running', gradually come to a stop, look at the hard cam with an 'oh shit' expression and then plummet to the ground. Then the anvil can fall on him.

even better if Jim Neidhart just falls out of the sky for no apparent reason and lands on him

has ACME written on his ass

Anvil: It was me taker! It was me all along! I AM the authority.

Yep. Money angle.

Before he drops, taker holds up a sign tnat says "Thats all folks!"

Taker uses his hover power to run off the cell, look down to realize he has no ground below him and then fall down.

Edit: Oh fuck off.. Serves me right for not refreshing in 20 minutes.

Unless you meant the gif, in which case, no. It is Shane McMahon "punching" The Viper Randy Orton.

Ended up being just her filming a skit for a future episode of Edge & Christian's new Network show. Bayley released a teaser image for it on her Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/BCL51KHB1po/ She still rumored as one of the potential post-Mania call ups though.

Last night's TNA Lockdown edition of Impact Wrestling drew 210,000 viewers. The replay at midnight drew 87,000 viewers, making this week's total at 297,000 viewers.

This is down 18% from last week's Monster's Ball show, which drew a total of 360,000 viewers, and the 388,000 total viewers from the week before that. Last week's first airing drew 273,000 viewers and the replay drew 87,000 viewers.

It's worth noting that TNA did not rank in the Top 150 Cable Originals this week in the 18-49 demo, which is interesting as nothing on cable really ran away with the night.

Lowest since the move to POP TV. For some comparison, the previous low was 345k viewers.

Having suffered quite a few broken noses myself, I can say with certainty, this is not a post surgery photo. Note the "filter" on the photo. If he were really trying to show the graphic nature of the surgery, he would not have blurred the image. Also, I can't imagine a doctor or nurse just simply cramming gauze up his nose and doing a rather shoddy tape job. Note his eyes looking relatively normal. Most people would come out of this surgery with two massive black eyes. This is not to say that Reigns did not suffer some type of injury, and that perhaps this "surgery" was merely a ringside physician attempting to quickly reduce the injury. I showed this photo to a few doctors and they agreed that it was sketchy looking. But hey, it's pro wrestling.

Roman Reigns is such a heel.

I could see some sort of screwjob at Mania where Shane takes over and helps Reigns and the two celebrate as the crowd hurls shit at them or something. They won't know how to react to Shane beating Undertaker and Reigns as champion aligned with him.

I think the legit finish will be Undertaker pummeling Shane, Shane doing something fucking stupid, Shane still fighting, Vince pissing off Taker and Taker forfeiting and Shane winning as Vince almost tugs his ear off.

Breeze would have had a really easy made feud with Cody Rhodes just waiting for him. Cody could warn Breeze about the risks of being obsessed with himself, like "Dashing" was, and Breeze could just be a young punk. Breeze would have had stuff ready with The Miz. His stuff with Dolph Ziggler should have meant more too -- been more focused on trying to replace Ziggler as the workhorse on the roster.

Whatever. Now I just want to see a Tyler Breeze/Fandango tag team. The Hottest Men in the Room.

I do miss videos and stuff that showed guys' characters. Like the Dashing Grooming Tips or Eddie and Chavo hijinks. Added more to the show, no matter how cheesy they could be.

Little touches like "Tyler Breeze has entered the building..." could go so far to establishing a persona for him.

It worked wonders for Razor Ramon, Lex Luger and Mr. Perfect. I still remember those character builds. Kalisto has no gimmick whatsoever and is holding a Championship. Absolutely no RAW coverage of his backstory. If there was one they hid it well

Del Rio is his rich uncle who has been otracised by the family due to his unnatural wrestling tendencies and he kinda has a vibe that Kalisto is his nephew so that's why he keeps trying to remove the mask.

That would be pretty cool to see....First match on RAW all of a sudden 3 minutes in over the loud speaker a deep voice announces he arrived, and before RAW is over in a segment or match announce he left.

They should do that. They already announce "seasonal residence" and his roped-off area @ ringside was perfect for his gimmick.

Even it if annoys the fans, it will garner heel heat for him and make people want to see him get his face kicked in.

I think almost all the current problems can be summarised by a lack of effort from the writers. Little touches and skits and fleshing out of characters means it is easier to write feuds about different things other than "pinfall over champion". Most importantly, it makes us care about the character and any little thing can catch on a create a star.

It's just so routine and monotonous right now. Faceless name A beats Faceless name B in nontitle match. Exchange wins...expected to be interested in them fighting again on special event.

A little variation and character build could provide so many different characters, feuds and keep heat while not having the match 3 times before a PPV
