Holy shit.
So I haven't been keeping up with raw regularly since the pandemic started. I know this has been said for the past decade or so and I'm beating a dead horse.
But man is WWE overproduced for the presentation to the promos to the actual wrestling.
I like jimmy smith. I like pat . I think they do well in their roles as commentators but they all sound like they went to the school of Michael Cole broadcasting. Including the sideline reporters. A lot of time their cadence mimics that of Cole. What happened to the days of Kevin Kelly, Jonathan coachmen, Lillian Garcia. Characters that have their own unique thing.
I'm not ragging on Cole either. His earlier run with tax as smackdown commentators was great and he's really the consistent commentator over the past twenty years for WWE. Consistently solid but man, it's still formulaic.
The matches all feel like 'let me get my shit in, we only got three mins.' Lol. I don't want to compare them to aew or other wrestling companies but even within their own 'universe, nxt flows better even though nxt has some of the WWE issues I mentioned. Just not as much because it's produced by other people.
Anyway I'm ranting like an old bitch. I don't hate WWE it's still good but production needs a revamp. From top to bottom lol.
