Another reason why Raw is unwatchable. Dolph Ziggler came to the ring at 10:10pm after WWE showed a package as to why his match with Priest was happening. Then, they went to commercials and came back at 10:15. For some fucking reason, they decided to run a package of Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch that lasted 10 minutes. Then they went back to commercials. They come back to show an interview with Priest at 10:30 and after 2 minutes, they finally introduced Damien Priest. The match started at 10:34 and they went back to commercials. Then at 10:37 we are back to the match, one in which the crowd is completely dead

I'm not going to waste three hours of time watching RAW when I can DVR it and only watch the watchable parts or watch the condensed version(minus commercials) on Hulu.

I avoided reading this in full until after the holidays were over but man, I won't lie, it brought me to tears. Plus an WWE/AEW crossover at the end:

Or she asked for her release. Considering how they used her, I could believe either way.

No word as to what exactly spurred this. She was in a program with Charlotte and worked a triple threat with her and Sasha the night before without incident.

I think it's very clear that everyone, specially female talent, have more chances of career progress outside of WWE right now.

There's basically 2 reasons. First one, is that I have friends that work in the company. Second, is what a lot of people in the business call the sickness. It doesn't matter how bad it is, for some reason, I still need to watch wrestling in general. It happened back when WCW was the shits and it still does with WWE who's been pretty horrible for at least the majority of the past 15 years. I don't watch with as much detail as I used to, but I will keep it in the background unless. I got multiple TVs in my mancave, so I can still catch NBA games or MNF while watching Raw.

If this were 5 or 10 years ago I'd think Vince was going to do a DVD/Blu Ray set, but apparently they won't be doing that anymore, so??? T-shirts? Action figures? Something like that, probably.
