It's hilarious reading your diary. "Dear diary, today I found out this girl likes me....but she's one."

I watch every couple PPVs and I keep up with it via results and reviews. I still consider myself a fan, and despite my reputation as a mini-big Ryan, I'm not some smarky indy fan who shits on WWE for their style. It works, and WWE has produced some real quality matches over the past few year.

I've started watching Raw here and there, and while there is a lot of hot garbage on TV (@ Flo Rida), I've found myself reasonably entertained. Having Cena and Orton on the shelf has allowed them to build a new main event scene that's worked out surprisingly well. I don't consider myself a huge Reigns fan, but he plays his role well enough and has been featured in enough big matches that I don't consider him awful. He's very formulaic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Smark fans love Daniel Bryan, but he's also transitioned into a 5 Moves of Doom type guy. You can only expect so much from a weekly television show. The PPVs allow them to highlight their repertoire and produce better quality matches. It's easy to compare Roman Reigns to CENAWINSLOL, but I believe Cena gets to much flak for his level of talent.

With the signing of top indy guys over the years, WWE is setting themselves up for a good future. NXT is some of the best wrestling out there right now, and the recent acquisitions of AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Bullet Club is only going to pad the roster even more. I never imagined I'd see Samoa Joe, Prince Devitt, KENTA, Kevin Steen, Jon Moxley, Tyler Black, and AJ Styles all under a WWE banner. Even homegrown guys like Chad Gable and Enzo Amore are really showing themselves to be quality investments.

I believe in my heart that Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are going to end up being this eras John Cena and Randy Orton, and I'm completely okay with that. Here's to hoping that we continue to see improvement from both men.

This is a rambling mess but whatever. WWE discussion. Go.

I didn't read this.

But I feel the length of time you spent composing this thread, might be better use in a promo... So yeah...

I'm brought up strangely even when I haven't said a singular word towards any of you except Timmy Boy in weeks. Guess I lived long enough to see myself become a villain, as the saying goes.

No doubt NXT is just sexy as hell, I watch it weekly and am even excited about it. Like Austin I haven't seen RAW live in years, just read the results. I watch the PPV's but only in a party, can't alone, too boring. Pretty much saying I like where WWE is heading but still ain't about that live.

I literally just watch Enzo and Cass and the Diva's division on NXT.
