It's ridiculously long. Its also hard now with 2 rumbles; that's basically over 2 hours just for 2 matches. You could get away with like 2 other matches total.
Honestly think the women should just have their own shows, at this point. And then at Wrestlemania, have both men and women on the card. There’s no real point to having the women on the same show as the men, rarely interacting and never(Nia...I know) competing against each other. There’s a deep enough roster to do it. Get a mid card belt and tag belts, and have it exist as a separate thing within WWE.
I don't know if you could have all womens shows every month or whatever, but honestly, like a 2 day Mens Royal Rumble/Womens Royal rumble combo might be a good idea. Or maybe a mens Rumble one Sunday and the womens rumble the next week.
Attitude era JR and King was legit too
I remember when Raw was 1 hour. And it would seem to do more to build angles and get guys over. You were excited when you’d get a Razor Ramon match, or a Bret Hart match, or when some old veteran like Koko B Ware was on the show for the first time in months, getting whupped by Bam Bam Bigelow or something.
It’s all about the $$$. USA network wants 3 hours and that is why this awful product is 3 hours.
It's still likely that the women's match will be a three-way, with Charlotte Flair as part of the match.
Wait...that happened? Awesome.
Wow, that's big. I can totally see him going to AEW.
Not sure if it's been announced but it will be interesting to see what the AEW touring schedule is like. I can see how the WWE travel schedule can be draining after a certain point.
I haven't seen anything official, but I cant imagine it will be nearly as strenuous as the WWE schedule. Do have to wonder what happens with Renee
I think the travel schedule is one of WWE's biggest disadvantages. It just grinds people down. Ambrose was reportedly unhappy with not being able to develop his own character and to do his own promos.
OH YOU DIDNT KNOW??!!!
Lotta options outside WWE for people now. Pretty exciting times
Yep, Hideo Itami, aka KENTA, who was largely wasted in WWE, is also leaving. Likely headed back to Japan.
Consistently underutilized and undermined. They sucked all the menace out of him way back in the summer after the shield first broke up. Made him lose all the time to Rollins. Made him a goofball. Hell, it should’ve been him turning heel in the first place. Rollins wasn’t a good heel.
Yeah I wasn't watching wrestling yet, but in reading back about the period, there seems to be a period late 91 early 92 where they went a little edgier. You also had the snake biting Macho man, and Jake slapping Liz? I think that was also around then
I started watching regularly in summer of ‘92. I had watched here and there previously for a few years, but as far as watching weekly and really following it, I think I just missed a lot of this stuff by a matter of months or even weeks.
