Basically, how NXT is, they have the live results on reddit almost immediately, and the episodes don't come out right away.
Yep. And even NXT fans rarely watch the NXT show.

Jimmy Uso got arrested for a DUI again. This after they joked about their arrest prior arrest on Monday in the rap battle with Cena.

With the obvious "that didn't age well" caveat, this was an incredible promo by Lawler on Goldust. His stuff would obviously never fly well but for the time it was delivered, so good.
If that was supposed to be a surprise, why in the **** would you have multiple cameras set up to capture it? Including a fcking POV camera? They can't help themselves.

Was Bischoff involved with that Roman "accident"? If he was, then it's pretty ironic considering he once said the WWE product is over-produced. Fast-forward to a segment where a scene was intended to be unscripted (I use that word loosely), and they use 3 stationary cuts in 5 seconds.

Also, RAWs at PPG. Any of you poor saps there?

I walked past a bar, saw Raw was on, thought about stopping, saw Dolph, kept walking.

This company has no idea how to make new stars. I just saw the show ended with Goldberg and HBK. Their biggest “new” star, Reigns is currently involved in the dumbest storyline of the last 5 years. Rollins is a baby face who only knows how to be a heel. Becky Lynch was once the most over wrestler in the company and WWE cooled her off so much that she’s just another face on the roster. And the only thing WWE can think to do to save the ratings is trot out stars from 20 years ago. Imagine if Austin was made to look like a chump by a frail old Bob Backlund or Ken Petera.

I would rather see Bob Backlund wrestling at Summerslam than Goldberg, and I say that semi-jokingly.

Could you imagine sitting through 4+ hours of that last night live (including the pre-raw stuff and any post show dark matches)... that has to be brutal.

It's boring. There's just nobody that I would even pay money to see. Rollins and his whole you're a mark if you're anti-wwe stance has even soured that. They legit cooled Becky off to the point of not even caring. I don't know man, I really hope AEW forces WWE to make a change.
The NXT have a bunch of great people that are going to job, or just not make TV at all. Seeing the Undisputed Era up top is legit terrifying, as Adam Cole is star material but due to his size, they'll likely job into dust.

I've gone on this rant before, but it's still just as relevant today: I'm curious what they're gonna do when Hall Of Fame weekend or Old School RAW is aired in 20+ years. Are they gonna bring out 75 year old HBK and HHH to flex for the crowd? Will Goldberg be putting up 12 second squash matches? And who will be in the crowd for HOF weekend? They're already putting in marginal talent into the HOF because they are running out of people, and yes I realize the discussion of the HOF is becoming a bit of a joke in itself.
