Just kinda curious what the rassletard chat alliance was up on these days...

RAW and SmackDown are still RAW and SmackDown...with the blue brand moving to Friday it's made it difficult to catch live
NXT is probably the best bang for your buck right now...more matches, less rambling promos.
AEW is getting better by the week. It is funny that the top guys are WWE guys in Moxley and Le Champion Chris Jericho, but having The Bucks, Cody, Kenny, and Page is what I dig. That and it's new and different.
The old school NWA show on YouTube is good for the nostalgic neck who longs for the Gordon Solie days.

I don't watch wrestling or ufc. I don't live in a trailer park.

I only watch AEW for the same reasons Bagels said. Im waiting for VKM to die so I can watch a product that doesnt have traces of dementia in creative.

I checked and unchecked AEW a couple times. I really want to like it, but it's nigh unwatchable at times. There's very little star power and it doesn't feel like they are doing much to build any stars. It feels more like they are just happy to cater to the built-in PWG/ROH audience but on a bigger scale. And that's fine, good on them for getting the extension with TNT, they proved many people wrong when that happened. But it just feels like there might be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many EVPs, the show feels uneven. But it will stay on my radar because of the few real stars they do have, namely Jericho, MJF, Cody, and Moxley. Notice I didn't include Omega?

As it stands I only watch RAW and the Sunday "PPVs". My weeks tend to be backloaded so Sundays and Mondays are the only nights I have where I can sit around and watch a couple hours of this dying genre

I'm team NXT these days. The match quality pisses all over the main roster IMO. the Wargames takeovers are spectacular IMO and keeps one upping itself every year. I'm curious to see how the first non WWE ppv takeover goes for them this month in Portland amongst all the unwashed bearded libs. Should be fun.

I tried to watch when they went to USA Network, but it seemed like anyone could show up and I wrote it off as a clusterfvck, but if I were to watch anything WWE, it would be NXT, and the "Big Four" PPVs.
