Is this the twilight zone or something?

So I have been watching more WWE recently, with the kids and all I am home more often so have had the opportunity to watch things more regularly. I just keep shaking my head at disbelief at the WWE in recent times.

- AJ Styles beat John Cena at Summerslam
- Miz punking off Daniel Bryan, and getting praise for it
- Fin Balor winning the WWE Universal Championship
- Roman reigns losing his push, failing at a mid card bout, 2 weeks later back in the main events
- Shane and Taker at mania
- Ryder winning a major title at mania
- Brand split
- The new GMs and Comissioners
- Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins being at the top

The list just goes on and on, I actually am finding myself legitimately entertained rather than watching for nostalgia. I feel like I should buy the twins WWE onsies as I usually have them while watching.

Anywhoo anyone else just finding perhaps from Rumble until now WWE really seems to be changing for the better? Perhaps NXT is paying off its dividends.

He failed a drug test, if you didn't know (and WWE buried him on RAW for it, literally bringing it up live on RAW), hence why he lost his push.

- Shane and Taker at mania

There is no explanation for this madness.

That's awesome. They have been improving recently. Helps that they're bring through some talented guys and they're actually getting some time and shots. Some still disappear into oblivion, but more seem to be rising than previously. The brand split should help with that as it gives the guys more time, and with their quality, it just adds to the entertainment factor.

I think Danielle might kill me when they arrive but I couldn't resist. Bought 2 pinks and 2 whites.

They'll only hate you if there's photo evidence. Otherwise they can pretend it never happened. Therefore, get some pics of them in the onesies and frame them on your wall for when they're older.

Could be worse - it could be a Universal Title onesie 😋

Isnt it the Dads job to humiliate their kids? There will be pictures, and they will be well backed up. (my sister and her friends were embarrassed to be dropped out at high school, so my dad blasted aqua with the windows down, dropped them off at the front door while shouting "i love you girls!")

On the wrestling front, I actually have been trying to catch up a bit as of late. I am getting to know some of the new guys, but after not watching consistently (minus the past few months) since about 2012 its a struggle. I almost think it might be better to know nothing in some ways, no need to have pre-concieved ideas.

So, to slightly update. I barely can watch RAW anymore, I really find it drags (3hr format) and just is by far the inferior show. Smackdown feels much more fun, where even the lowest guy on the totem pole seems important and a good fit. The show just clicks. Raw seems really forced, almost like required reading to give it a chance. Anyone else feeling this way?

I watch the 90 minute condensed version on Hulu.  I do think Raw will feel far more fleshed out once the Cruiserweights join Raw.
