I mean I guess but after Hunter's reign of terror there was a near 10 year Cena reign on top where he beat everyone pretty routinely and if he lost he immediately got his win back

I was thinking this as well. They were so freaked out by Cena and Roman getting booed they just started going with heels on top so it would look better to the general public/media

Yeah since around 2013 the company has pushed the promotion as the main heel and the wrestlers pathetically have to go up against the system. Some weird dystopian/libertarian amalgamation

Yeah for those not watching what the hell is going on? I keep seeing people making TNA jokes for some reason

Wrestling inc reporting that Adnan Virk will be replacing Tom Phillips as lead Raw announcer starting this Monday

Stephanie was on Bill Simmons podcast and said Sasha/Bianca is headlining night 1

Looks like Sasha/Bianca is going to close night one of Mania. yearly reminder that .Sasha has never won at Mania

Newest Observer says there's been talk of Bayley doing her talk show at Mania

I think I read that Becky and Ronda are supposed to return post Mania. If true this will be Ronda's first time without Heyman booking all her stuff. I think Heyman was behind a lot of Becky's run as well. Prichard seems to prefer the diva era booking

Holy shit that's legit surprising

WWE announced that NXT is officially moving to Tuesdays and they've signed a multi year extension with the USA Network

From what I gather I think the point is that it isn't that story doesn't matter in wrestling but it doesn't have to be a multi layered narrative that goes from point to point over episodic television. The story can just be " I want the title", "I want to see if I can beat you". the WWF of the 70s flourished with almost no big angles or stories under Vince Sr. Honestly a lot of of Hogan's biggest programs in the 80s didn't have a deep story behind them. Everyone just wanted to see him win.

Bryan recently gave an interview and said he really doesn't have much booking power on SD despite what's being reported online. So I guess everyone saying he pitched all those losses to Cesaro and Nak might not have been true after all

Being reported Road Dogg suffered a heart attack on Thursday. Currently in the hospital

Having Lacey being Becky's first big program after Mania turned out to be a huge mistake. Lacey lost every match and yet kept getting title shots well into the summer for some reason iirc, people criticizing Becky's Mania build were shot down with a bunch of "omg stop complaining, she's getting pushed isn't she?!? Isn't that enough!?What else do you want!?!?" type comments. Two years later it's obvious those criticisms were valid.
