I read your article KB and I picked up on a couple things that you know but did not touch on
1. The champ needs a rival or someone chasing the title. I know it’s choreographed but most of sports have teams that they get up to playing or opponents that they try a little bit harder to overcome.
2. Aside from you(this is your career and you do a great job) but outside of people doing this for reviews, why should I watch it when I can see your website or highlights Granted I don’t know what you watch outside of wrestling but I’m pretty sure your life is full with your wife and other things. We are programmed now that we can watch whenever we want to. Neilson ratings have not evolved into streaming ratings. Just watch live or dvr ratings
3. There have been a lot of great shows on television that have encountered cancel culture and I don’t think it’s due to the shows. Just unless it’s the Super Bowl or an ad with a catchy song or premise people these days don’t really want to see ads. Heck we can even enable our computer or phones to block out ads.
No pun intended on mtv or wwe but there is no real heat anymore really between any of the wrestlers. When miz confronted Bryan on talking smack in 2016 yes it was a little staged but it felt real like that was coming from mikes soul in saying that to Bryan. Like he himself wanted to prove to everybody that he could be accepted It’s hard for someone else to write real emotion for someone else. Granted it’s happened for centuries with books but that author is literally breathing their life or pieces of their life into that character. I’m a writer myself so I know. That’s why Rhodes Cornette(yes I don’t agree with him on everything) Ross Heyman are geniuses at this because they just did not get a job out of coming out of some 3rd rate daily show from Comedy Central. Please Free Heenan and Monsoon but alas they are calling matches in the sky

The key thing to remember here is Vince just doesn’t have long term plans or ideas to make new stars anymore. I mean Vince likes Branden Vink right? How much do you wana bet he’ll get bored with him after 2 weeks and ask his createtive team why no new stars are being made? Vince can’t be high on Vink with a record of 1-4 and no promos no backstory no aura NO EFERFOT We’re just surposed to care about him because Vince says so? Piss off. All it takes is for one of those spineless ideots in Titan Tower to grow some balls and tell Vince the truth and we wouldn’t have to put up with this nonsense. I haven’t been recording Raw and Smackdown on my BT box because A I think WWE should have had an Inpormteu off season after Wrestlemaina and B Money in the bank builds always come across as pontless every single time ( Still watch NXT though) Instead choosing to come on this site and read your weekly reviews of those shows Kb. I was going to record them again after MITB but if these poor, boring, No thought put into these shows continue Might keep doing the same thiing Thanks for letting me raint KB and keep up the outstanding work!
What’s wrong with Vink?
Foley seems to love him.
Look at those meaty thighs pal!
Seriously, one look at him and you should know he has Vince guy written all over him.
Exactly he’s perfect for Vince but how can you be sure he won’t get bored of him after a few weeks? These days whenever Vince likes someone he seems to sour on them just as quckly. It just seems his idea to fix sagging ratings is to bring Lesner back and make him World champion wich ok worked well at the start but it’s no good now and full time roster suffers as a result I hope it works out for Branden Vink I truly do I just don’t have fath in WWE’s long term planing anymore and I consider myself an optimistic person.
