I think if you're a casual fan, then you'll find only Brock Lesnar interesting. But if you look at it from a more technical perspective, you'll find other guys interesting as well. Currently WWE has a really big and talented roster. They could tear the house down at every pay-per-view with the talent they have, but their creativity and booking is really sh*t.

I have been an avid follower for 20 years. It has just been downhill since last few years especially with how they have mishandled guys like reigns.

That's interesting. How would you have booked him?

I have not followed wrestling much in the recent past but by whatever little I have watched, I think people like Cesaro needs to get a better deal. With a little more additions to his moves, I believe Cesaro can be the next Kurt Angle. Jokers like Bo, Fandango, Tyler need to go. Also, WWE needs to stop making the new age John Cena and Kevin Nash -- Reigns and Owens respectively with their two and a half move set seem like a big deal. They bring no charisma, no skill and and negligible entertainment to the fights.

WWE missed a great opportunity to start a feud between Erick Rowan and Strowman. Strowman apparently took Rowan's place in the latter's absence in Wyatt family. Rowan was a force within himself so it would be a great battle to watch Rowan and Strowman going one on one to prove who is the best, erm, sheep in the family. A few fights later they could have shown something like Strowman being attached by Rusev and all and then Rowan helping him and become all part of one family. I would have loved that kind of storyline.

On a completely different note, I feel the pain of seeing Kane being treated like a jobber. He needs to go because we all know he is past his best since his muscle injury. He needs to keep the memories of him being the unbeatable wrestler in the minds of his fans. A lot of damage has been done to that but I think people would love to forget about the corporate joker and remember him as Big Red Machine. He should not prolong his career even if he wants to as the 'Demon Kane'. The same goes with Big Show. WWE thinks we can digest the fact that once head smashing, chest slapping and chopping and power lifting, choke slamming big show could suddenly knock out people with a punch. I mean C'mon WWE, be a little more realistic. If Big Show cannot do the slams anymore, he needs to go. I would say even Christian knew when to go, why cannot you? Yes, you are the giant and all but man, you are aged, slower and without over 50% of the moveset you once had. Please do not torture your fans anymore.

New Day make a better commentary panel than Byron, King and that other guy.

Actually Mauro Ranallo is a quite decent commentator. Should definetely replace Cole. Also, Paul Heyman should replace Saxton, but that's not gonna happen.[DOUBLEPOST=1461851967][/DOUBLEPOST]Speaking of Heyman, wouldn't it be awesome if he became the manager of the Bullet Club?

But they ain't as good as New Day.

I don't know why, but I think SummerSlam's gonna have a match - The Club vs The Roman Empire

The Club - Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, AJ Styles & Finn Balor

The Roman Empire - Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe.

If that happens, then Rollins vs Owens vs Ambrose should be the SummerSlam main event.[DOUBLEPOST=1463510433][/DOUBLEPOST]

Kevin Owens has no charisma, no skill and a two and a half move set? Have you been watching the same show as me?

I did saw the recent episodes and he do seems to have added a few moves like the super kick and all and that does make him a slightly better wrestler. It is good to see wrestlers willing to learn new styles and not stick to their moveset like the old era. Seth Rollins also added quite a few moves during his stint with The Authority however, everything said and done, Owens still does not make a good wrestler. He can hardly move around. It would be great if he can add a few moves like elbow drop, a spear and may be a move from the top turnbuckle. Do not get me wrong, I really like him but I just want him to get better because I believe he is a better wrestler than WWE shows him as. He should not have a limited skill set. ATM, he is very much like Kevin Nash but I want him to grow and add more to his skillset. That would make him much much better wrestler. Definitely better than Roman Reigns and John Cena.
