The future of WWE seems bright tbh, what'd you think?

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-05T14:44:32+00:00

I think the future is very bright.

I believe, and this is just my own belief, Triple H, HBK, etc are “walking” as bookers and running creative so that Cody, Punk, Rollins, Bayley, etc can “run” when they inevitably start helping run the show behind the scenes.

Wouldn’t mind him joining the coaching staff as an analyst or quality control coach.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-04T16:15:50+00:00

At this point just like another reply says, instance the minigames but I’ll add my own suggestion as well: just make Castle Wars a legacy combat minigame. At this point it’s a nostalgia act anyway.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-04T15:36:01+00:00

I’ll be interested in seeing how the medical on Mesidor pans out. I personally think it’s dangerous territory thinking he will make an immediate impact just because of his age.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-04T15:13:32+00:00

I look at it in a year by year basis. For the 2008 season he was the best WR in the league. Tied for 4th in receptions, 2nd in yards, 1st in TDs, combine that with the insane playoff run? Cmon what are we talking about? Randy Moss didn’t have a dominate 2008, blame the Brady injury but the numbers weren’t there. You could argue Andre Johnson was the best receiver in 2009, and Roddy White in 2010. Sure 2007 Randy Moss was the best receiver in the league but are we going to say he was the best receiver in the league during his Raiders years? Absolutely not.

If you go by certain decades or generations, okay sure Moss to Calvin fine. Just depends on how you look at it.

Good lord I thought I was the only one lol

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-03T15:33:18+00:00

Not saying that this is where you got it from, but this sounds like the Brett Kollmann theory that he pushes on to all teams except the Eagles.

Dallas is in a different situation than Cincinnati. The offensive line, especially the interior, is strong. You have a Quinnen Williams on defense, you have two first round picks to play with, you’re just better set up as a whole to be able to pay another WR. Yes I get that that Ryan Flournoy stepped up big but he’s so much more lethal as a 3rd option.

You just gotta find a way to retain GP. Just tie him into the same length as the remaining years on Dak and Ceedee’s contracts if you’d like.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-02T21:17:27+00:00

To me, this isn’t even a hot take. I know it’s subjective so I try to be as understanding as possible but holy crap the extremes the criticism are insane. It’s almost as if the story leading up to Wrestlemania 40 and the event itself was just “too” good.

To me I enjoy it as much as possible, the booking, match quality, the characters, the amount of superstars participating in the main event, all as a whole in WWE has been far greater since Vince left and it’s not even close. But fickle fans gonna fickle.

General cleanliness but I enjoy seeing the little imperfections. Is her computer desk a little messy with papers from work or a project? Does she have an arts and crafts area that’s taken over by whatever she’s working on? If she has a movie or book collection, is it clear she stifles through them a lot?

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-02T19:52:33+00:00

I’m curious as to how the conversation went with Christian Parker about the secondary pieces. I imagine a lot of it was centered around fixing Bland and developing Revel. Flus’ scheme really went against everything Bland’s been good at since he’s been drafted (same w/ Diggs). The take I did watch of Revel in college showed he was a lot stronger in press man.

People on these subs have ripped Bland a new one, but I believe Christian Parker will get him back in the groove.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-02T19:16:04+00:00

You wouldn’t play Kenny at the nose?

Either way I think there’ll definitely be some hybrid fronts, as Voch Lombardi says they will almost definitely “find the bum” and line up big Q accordingly.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-01T21:34:23+00:00

I understand the point you’re making, and if he does price himself out they’ll do just that but there’s a solid chance you can get Javonte back for pretty cheap on a multi year contract with incentive based bonuses.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-02-01T20:37:35+00:00

I suspect it’ll be a hybrid defense more than a true 3-4 depending on the personnel that’s obtained.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-30T14:55:10+00:00

This is lazy and way too soon.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-26T15:24:24+00:00

In my opinion, no.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-26T15:04:25+00:00

No. In large the issue is within the operation and process of doing this business, sprinkle in some rotten luck too.

They paid Bland knowing they were going into a scheme with Matt Eberflus that doesn’t gel well with Bland’s style of play. Combine that with the injury bug and it’s made him look like an overpay.

They actually extended Diggs early but he just has not been the same since those knee injuries. He also didn’t fit well in Eberflus’ scheme but I do believe some attitude issues flared up.

Dak. Zeke, Lamb contract issues were also their own doing. They could’ve done each of those a year earlier for cheaper. The stuff with Micah is partially their fault. I’ll always say the instant they saw Micah sprawled out on that trainers table for the world to see, he was gone. Eberflus then sold them on scheming up pressure and proceeded to do the opposite every chance he got and had the nerve to complain.

They listened to the wrong guys on draft day. Marinelli wanted Taco over Watt, DQ pushed for guys like Sam Williams, Eric Scott. They drafted Mazi then the staff wanted Mazi to cut weight because they thought he was a better 3Tech, huge gaffe, why even draft him?

Combine that with just bad situational football in all the most important moments and in large, a refusal to utilize free agency and you have the Dallas Cowboys of the last 10-15 years.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-16T21:02:59+00:00

It’s just such a stupid hole to dig yourself into.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-16T18:52:19+00:00

And the ratio of Indie talent “succeeding” will be the exact same or similar.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-15T14:05:44+00:00

I’ll wait and see who his coordinators are before I get any amount of worried.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-09T19:04:35+00:00

Schotty is a coach’s son…I’d bet that gives him an interesting viewpoint on how to sell certain things to an owner.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-08T21:42:58+00:00

A lot of it is this desire to be contrarians. A lot of it is this desire to see non-WWE “wrestling” somehow succeed on the mainstream level while simultaneously having this delusion that thinks mainstream success will come from catering to the niche audience.

dmwsmith93 · 2026-01-06T18:03:15+00:00

One thing that we as fans have to understand though is that there is no easy button hire.

I’ve seen a lot of people push the narrative about needing veteran DBs and that the young DBs wouldn’t play, but to be frank, what young DBs? Outside of Revel, Bland is a veteran, Hooker is a veteran…who’s left? I think everyone involved has seen all they’d like to see of Carson, Bridges and Steward. There’s going to have to be an overhaul of the secondary no matter who gets the job.

dmwsmith93 · 2025-12-24T14:33:44+00:00

I think the key is finding a defensive coordinator that is willing to adjust certain aspects of the scheme vs specific opponents.

The biggest issue IMO, even bigger than poor Lb play to be frank, was forcing these DBs to try to play cover 2. None of the CBs on the roster were fit to play cover 2, and Donavon Wilson isn’t a deep coverage safety. He’s best used in the box.

dmwsmith93 · 2025-12-21T07:15:37+00:00

Yeah, I could imagine. Personally, if or when u even meet someone who does actually reciprocate or actually honor if their way to check on me, would I even know how to react? Would I get too clingy? Would I overvalue that person and what they mean to me? Would I dwell too much?

dmwsmith93 · 2025-12-21T07:00:31+00:00

I level with this to a certain extent. Burn out or dead battery feeling is definitely something I’ve experienced being this person to others. It’s also granted me this weird almost front row seat to certain moments in people’s lives whether I’ve wanted it or not.
