| Johnny Gargano has all the potential to be a top face in WWE.
Asuka NEEDS to turn. It's about time her cocky attitude gets her that heel heat.
Akira Tozawa has the best German Suplex in wrestling.

| I miss the days when wrestlers took advantage of injuries to get heel heat. Like how Owen Hart got a load of heat for breaking Austin's neck and how Benoit got his nickname for fucking up Sabu. I really hope Samoa Joe does the same to Seth Rollins. |

| Being flashy in-ring doesn't make you a bad wrestler as long as you have some form and psychology to it. With that being said, I'm not a huge Will Ospreay fan.
Ascension could have been something with better, more confident, booking behind it. So could Breezango, Vaudevillians, and pretty much every other tag team on Smackdown devoid of the words 'bro' and 'hype'.
Lucha Underground's toeing the shark tank with the Lizard and Rabbit Tribe. The Rabbit Tribe is somewhat acceptable, and entertaining as hell to boot, but the Lizards are...well, there's exploitation and then there's camp. They're not mutually exclusive things, but LU has been strongly Grind House'ey and lizard people just don't work. Maybe they would if the commentators and fans weren't openly laughing at them, but that's not the case. In the fragile reality of LU, putting something as ridiculous as a lizard headed giant or a gimp suited gill man can shatter everyone's believably. I mean, LU has some straight up ridiculous shit in it, but they're taken seriously and work within the context of the off-chute Rodriguezverse tangent that is LU. If you highlight the ridiculousness with something too ridiculous, then it all crumbles to pieces.
The cruiserweight division needs a complete overhaul. The talent's there,but how they're broached feels like bad 90's Diva booking. How do they invest time in Cedric Alexander and Noam Dar? By putting them in a love triangle with crazy ass Alicia Fox out of nowhere. How do they push the already over Jack Galligher? Silly stereotype gimmick segments and an umbrella. How do they push TJ Perkins? by turning him into an 80's cabinet arcade aficionado who can't help but drop 30 year old gamer jargon into promos. Kendrick, Swann, and Neville are the only fresh daisies in the bunch who haven't been trampled, and they've tried with Swann's horrendous 'jester' promo. Oh, and then there's 'the rest', including Tozawa (who 'just' returned) and Gran Metallik, who hasn't even debut yet after standout performances in the CWC. Rethink, rebook, and make it it's own traveling entity instead of a Smackdown dark match that airs on the network. |

Steve Corino joining WWE as a trainer is great! |

| Cedric Alexander.... more like Generic Alexander. I actually never catch any appeal from him.
Noam Dar always imitating Cristiano Ronaldo's goal taunt is so freaking cringey. More cringe than himself obsessed with Alicia FAAAAAAUUUUUCCCHHHHSSSS |

| Wyatt and Naomis title wins tonight were lackluster.
In Wyatts case, far too late to have the trigger pulled on him. although not dropping a fall since the draft is nice, his build up to this didn't make him look strong by any means. Pins over both Cena and AJ were cool, but years of jobbing out and missed opportunities dont make up for that. Cant help but shake that he's just going to be a transitional champion for Orton.
Naomi is just an entrance. Not a capable wrestler and her build up to this made her feel like an easy challenge for Bliss to head into Mania. She didn't deserve this without putting on better matches. I hope shes a transitional champion for Mickie James, Bliss again or Becky. |

Adding onto this, Becky Lynch should have never lost the belt in the first place. They really should have stuck it to Raw by giving Becky quite the lengthy reign during the time Charlotte and Sasha passed the Raw belt around like a joint. |

| The Model era of WWE was not as bad as fans made it out to be.
Charlotte>Sasha>Becky>Bayley
Alexa Bliss is great on the mic and probably one of the best female talkers right now, however she needs a better move set.
WWE fans no longer appreciate ground and pound style of wrestling. In general wrestling fans are entitled and spoiled. |

| Heavy Machinery from NXT has great potential for being a great Super Heavyweight team.
James Ellsworth is horrible and really should be removed from WWE TV right now.
Tetsuya Naito's promos are simply some of the best in Japanese Wrestling. Especially anything against how Okada and how he's pretty much Takaaki Kidani's protected Golden Boy.
Speaking of Okada. He's stale now... Get the belt of him. The only appeal is his theme and Rainmaker Lariat.
Kairi Hojo and Io Shirai from the STARDOM promotion are great additions to NXT's Female Roster. With Io being insanely athletic and has the best looking moonsault in wrestling and Kairi with her cheerful but weird Pirate Princess Gimmick. |

| Arn Anderson was the true cornerstone of the Four Horseman, NOT Ric Flair
While not as charismatic as Flair, he was just as talented in the ring and his retirement more or less signaled the real end of the Four Horsemen as a stable. |

I'm glad someone else acknowledges it's intentional. So many people think he's legitimately a bad wrestler and it just goes to show who's seen his stuff outside of WWE and who hasn't. JBL has done a better job at commentating than Mauro. |

| I don't mind Bray Wyatt losing the title to Randy Orton if Matt Hardy actually coming to WWE.
Speaking of the Hardyz, I feel like it would be better if they returned in a different brand. Matt carries his Broken Enlightenment to SDL while Jeff Hardy comes to RAW as..... well, Jeff Hardy. The Jeff Hardy we all always love. |

| ehhh I would rather see The Hardy Boyz return together, could do the broken gimmick together
If NXT wasn't considered a 'third brand' even though I still see it as developmental right now would be a perfect time to bring back ECW with young guys from ROH, CZW ect. |
