It's Official: WWE Has Never Been Worse

Wrestlers that represented different brands three weeks ago suddenly care about representing their new brand, even though there's no storyline reason to do so, and they're not even teams because they're booked to wrestle one another in the build. A lot of people, once upon a time, got into the WWF because they were thrilled at the prospect of Hulk Hogan mowing down the immovable object or facing his ultimate challenge. Nowadays, the wide-eyed six year-old is presumably expected to ask if Aaliyah can co-exist with her teammates after first fighting with them. And then being removed from the team. After first being introduced with no character as simply "from NXT". A programme on which she has barely appeared in years.

That action figure is presumably not going to sell too well.

Excessively long WrestleMania-length matches that do the job of an angle; the same over-scripted sh*te that everybody in wrestling other than WWE management thinks is toxic, much less the fans; a chronically normalised crop of top stars who feel like they've occupied similar positions for years (and literally have in too many cases); no sense of trust generated in all but the least discerning ultra-hardcore belt replica base; almost complete secondary title devaluation: this company is just the absolute pits, and this article has barely covered a certain, popular trope.
