Watch NXT Takeover: Chicago. It will at least give you some hope that WWE still has the ability to entertain. Besides the SD Tag titles match, every match on Takeover was better than Backlash.Messiah wrote:This isn't just a bad booking decision. This is the kind of decision that leads to PLUMMETING ratings (which, ever since Mahal has been in the main event scene, has been the case). The kind of decision that makes someone like me, who defended the company as hard as anyone a couple of months ago, give up. This killed my motivation to watch anything they put out, especially on SmackDown. The show has been terrible since WrestleMania. Absolutely dreadful. And now Mahal is the World Champion. Disgraceful.
I didn't watch Backlash but apparently Mahal/Orton stunk, which is what any logical human being would expect. Except for the WWE I suppose. I honestly can't think of a single thing the WWE has done in the last 10 years worse than this.
I'll probably cancel by Network subscription, at least until SummerSlam. I can't imagine I will have any interest in watching anything WWE-related until then, if that.

I wouldnt look too much in to the ratings either. Ratings for live tv are down across the board and more and more people are cutting cable each day. Ratings dont matter as much as they used to. If Stone Cold was wrestling in his prime today the ratings still wouldnt be anywhere close to the attitude era ratings.
There's so much good on SD right now that I dont really mind a Jinder reign. At least he's a heel who gets heat.
