We have reached world class late 1987 levels when most von Erichs were dead or newly amputees and cards were filled with The Thing and Frankie Lancaster and Vince Apollo and Skip Young and Ted Arcidi. Vince needs to fake a heart attack and find his Eric Embry to turn this around

Anybody have a spare, preferably combustible limousine lying around?

It's weird, because I do like a lot of the wrestlers. It feels like the storylines never go anywhere and the promos never mean anything and the gimmicks are all bland. Kofi having the title almost feels more like a "We know The New Day are popular, but we have no idea what else to do with them so lets  give one of them the title" then it feels like they have any actual plan for him. Almost all the feuds are based around the heel attacking the baby face. However, the heel usually attacks the babyface for no reason except to lead to a match on the next PPV, and once the feud is over and they both move on to other things, there is no sense  as to what they were feuding about or that anything was resolved, and half the time unless there was a title on the line I don't even end up remembering who actually won the feud. Whether you win or lose, you seem to just move sideways on the card. When people move up the card to the main event it doesn't feel like its based on them winning their last few feuds, it is usually based on them winning some kind of multiman or gauntlet match on tv the week after the previous ppv. And when people move down the card on to the pre show, or dropping off main tv completely onto WWE Main Event, it doesn't feel like its based on them losing their last feud, it feels like its because the writers cant think of anything else for them to do. It is all so blah right now, and it doesnt help that some of my favorite guys, like Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Cesaro, or the other 2 members of New Day feel like they are in limbo right now.  Also, the brand split has been half dropped, so we are in that ugly grey area between having completely seperate brands, and when the titles are all reunited again, so there are way too many titles and it feels like most of them don't mean anything.

I feel that Rollins' last run on top was producing similarly awful results but at least in 2015, Lesnar showing up was interesting and he was always motivated to have a wild match, we don't even have that now.
