I don't hate, but disagree. I think they've done a phenomenal job with the Hell in a Cell, Tables, and Falls Count Anywhere matches that they've recently done.

As far as the RR, for me it's as simple as they don't have the quality depth or good workers to make it entertaining.

Exactamundo. They have like 5 (Sasha, Bayley, Becky, Charlotte, Asuka) above average workers.

All of those matches such as HIAC, Cage, Tables, etc the gimmick is not in the match as much as a ladder in a ladder match. People get hit by a ladder or fall on a ladder more than, per se', taking shots into the cell or tables. The cell and tables are far more forgiveable as well. If you get Sasha backdropping Becky off of a ladder through another ladder I guarantee you are going to start seeing the injuries pop up. Not to mention, even though they want to be equal, the fact of the matter is the women's roster isn't as strong as the men's nor is women wrestling as popular as the mens, hence why the men's roster is larger. A hit to a top star in the women's division hurts more than a top star in the men's division.

It would be easy for most within the IWC to say good riddance, the writing lately has been terrible, storylines terrible, etc. I think most fans have been saying for a while that they needed new writers, and they needed to get rid of the soap opera writers(which apparently Tom was) and hire writers who know how to write a wrestling show. Maybe firing Tom will help and whoever replaces him will do a better job, and the product on screen will improve. Maybe it won't, but something needs to be done from a creative standpoint.

Let the superstars go back to shooting from the hip on the promos. That would be a good start.

I remember "back in the day" watching Prime Time Wrestling on Tuesday and WCW Saturday Night. I think that really qualifies as "back in the day." ha

Just by mere biology? What does this mean? Men and women don't have to have the same type of matches. But there are ways to get the same excitement and holy **** moments out of them. Like what spots can't a woman do without the proper setup?

On the RR, good working, roster depth never been relevant in a rumble match. It's all about the 2-6 guys they need to put on the show. The other 25 guys are just there to buy time for the finish and sprinkle in some cute spots here and there. The rumble has always been a cluster ****, full of wrestling cliches. But the returns and debuts are always nice.
