Collison steady puts on a great show even tho they lost Punk. I think this has been mentioned multiple times in the past 12 weeks how the show might lack in numbers they produce a great show. 🤷🏽‍♂️ folks might overlook it because its on Saturdays but its always a good to solid showing.


NXT gets a little over hyped on ABW, its a decent show with future talent but its still just decent. I think nothing wrong with having it at #5 as its not a bad show but def no where near the best product but I also dont think they book NXT to be a top tier entertainment product either in all fairness. It has its niche.

Theres been weeks where Collision was boring and unwatchable. They were running out random niggas out there and closing the show out with Edge or Danielson to essentially save the rest of the card. It picked up a bit and became FTR's show in the last quarter of the year. It has nothing to do with the ratings. A good chunk of 2023 Collision stinks.

From April to about September NXT hit a stride and was putting on the best weekly wrestling show even if it was by accident or due to the fact they started implementing main roster folks. At no point in 2023 was NXT one of the worst shows on tv

I hear you but most the time Collision has always put on a great show for the most part. Majority of these wrestling podcast have been praising it for the longest so it def aint out the blue for it to be ranked high. Rampage has its moments from time to time and no where near like Collison but overall most folks who discuss wrestling say Collision is a solid show even if it isnt a Dynamite style show.

NXT aint the worst show for sure but it also isnt a great show like some folks like to sell it. NXT has a niche that works for them but I wouldnt call it anywhere near the best product for long periods of time.

Now Raw should be getting a little more love then it did.

RAW and NXT being rated as 2 of the top 5 worst wrestling shows according to WON
but Collision ranking as one of the 5 best is low key jokes

Collision's best shows all largely featured Punk and quality wise fell off a cliff once he was gone to the point some niggas callin Rampage a better show
NXT for a period of time last year was arguably the best wrestling show on tv
and RAW isnt bad enough to be on a top 5 worst shows list

For the most part Collision be having banger shows. Even after Punk leaving. So I'm not surprised they got put on that ranking

This has been the most common opinion with pretty much all the big names who report/give feedback on all the company shows thats why im surprised at that wild take. If anything I thought it might of been ranked #3-4.

The most OVERREACTION spot. Lol Kids dont even watch TNA like that per the crowd so they would of got away with it had CW not been in the pic. But yeah it was a silly old school spot. ECW would of been set on fire in 2023.

Maybe its cause I and most people on here were watching NXT 2.0 when it was comical and seemingly outta nowhere it started getting better. I think thats the same for many people. Its developmental and from the onset that shit is very clear and the more time passes you watch in real time all the newbies grow in-ring wise and character wise. That and they aren't afraid to be experimental and take risks. Some shit just started hittin. Shit was like watching the geeky girl next door progressively transform into a semi bad bish.

HHH been around the business for much longer so its a no brainer honestly. TK still got a lot to learn. Everything you highlighted here is my issue w/ how he runs things too. That and the misuse of his big men. That's why I have to raise an eyebrow anytime I see people saying they hope Drew and now Sheamus leaves to go there. He would not use them any better.

Vinces mistreatment of the smaller guys over the years could be his reason for booking like that. Idk

Yeah. Drew & Sheamus need to stay put in WWE. Sheamus is more than likely at end of his run in WWE and I'd rather see him win get an IC Title win before he calls it quits. Drew could possibly be in the middle of his best run in WWE as heel. I like wise ass shit on ppl Drew but at the same time he's still a beast in the ring.

Drew & Sheamus going to AEW makes no sense and Tony Khan wouldn't know how to use them. Look at how he uses Ricky Starks & House of Black they probably would be better off used in WWE.

What i'm hoping for in 2024 from both

HHH: Loosen up on the long ass title reigns.... I'm not sure if he just enjoys year long title reigns (which wouldnt surprise me since he's an old school guy) or he's trying to circumvent Vince's past booking decisions but everybody dont need 6-7 / 12 month long reigns. I think Rhea is a good example of this cause alot of her 2023 reign as champ wasnt good. I think he'll use this year as a reset to book a stronger couple months for her. She'll beat Nia, probably will beat Becky which at that point they'll soon do a draft to shake-up the rosters and then she'll have 2-3 meaningful feuds.

TK: It just came back but I dont see the point of the rankings. In fact I dont even think its making much a case right now outside of the janky way they got to the Revolution triple threat. Less "fantasy match" booking with little storyline plots. Cleaning up the women's division which he already has put in place. And less of the start and stop pushes like you mentioned.

Agreed. If Roman is to drop the WWE Title at Wrestlemania it might be the end of the long title runs. To keep it a 100 Rhea's reign as champ has been straight up ass cheeks and that's because the Women's division on RAW up to this point has been ass. I'm ok with 6 - 8 month title runs depending on who the champion is but 2-3 yr reigns... HELL NO! That might have been cool in the 70's - 80's but in 2024 nope!

But fuck no Rhea shouldnt drop the belt to Becky at Mania just to end a long title reign. They can reset her back up with that W.

Thats what I figured cause aside from Rhea Becky is the other top dawg on RAW in the womens division. So beating her and going straight into a draft where they fix up the RAW womens division with actual stars for Rhea to feud with is probably the direction.
