GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

Bloody hell mate.

It's a thing with any drama. The audience has to have a willing suspension of disbelief for the entertainment to work.

What's happening at the moment is that I can't suspend that disbelief, because the booking is so implausible and the effort put in isn't there.

Wrestlemania is just a bunch of matches really....no real build up or feuds.

Can't be arsed.

Utter state of the ladder match. Sin Cara and Zack Ryder FFS!

Zack Ryder will be the highlight of Wrestlemania, bro.

Anyone would think that they weren't jist making it for you mate.

I don't care about that mate. If it was a boss kids TV show, I'd recognise it was still good. Downton Abbey is good for what it is, for example, even though I don't personally care about it. Same as Game of Thrones. If WWE didn't appeal to me but was objectively good, I'd not watch it but I wouldn't criticise it.

Problem I have with WWE is that I don't think it's good for anybody. I think it's just bad TV objectively right now.

I could genuinely write better storylines for WWE and I'm as thick as pig excrement.

It's flat out awful. Past few weeks they've killed what should be fantastic crowds by throwing absolute nothingness at them and that doesn't translate well through the TV screen.

They've usually picked it up by now and realised they need to book well for Mania but so much BS going on backstage and that, it's in the way of a good build for the peak of the year.

I think some people should just stop watching it.

Why watch something you think is awful? I'll never get that.

It's been better, it's been worse. Problem is these days they're not generally writing the kind of wrestling show that appeals to fans like us.

But it's clearly still continuing to appeal to some fans, a lot of fans actually as they still make a hell of a lot of money.

Really they have just stagnated into a comfort zone that they have no desire or need to get out of whilst they are still the only game in town (no pun intended).

Last inductee into 2016 Hall of fame is..............Snoop Dogg........because, reasons.......

Exactly this.

Have a look at the comments on say Instagram of a picture of Reigns and you still have kids loving him.
