The WWE's Awful End To The Decade (2017-2019)

Ойын-сауық

After the success of 2016 in the WWE, the company had a 3-year stretch where it was very strange. WWE seemed creatively bankrupt, just going through the motions, and had some mind-boggling booking decisions and moments that really made you question your fandom. Here's a look back at that 3 year stretch.

    The problem with those years especially 2019 is We didn't have any reason to watch weekly episodes John Cena was gone,Roman Reigns didn't work,The champ was part timer They used the same formula for Roman Seth Drew(winning the rumble/chamber and fighting the champion brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania) The matches were too predictable,storylines felt boring and forced Fan favourites were not pushed Taker and HBK coming out of retirement just for disaster match(es) Atleast we had part timing Cena till 2018 greatest royal rumble or a bit of Roman Reigns redemption story till summerslam 2018 After that , No superstars, No storylines , No good matches so It was a total downhill after that (until the tribal chief arrived)

    Thank you. I waited and no one brought this fact up. We were 15 years past WWE having a truly viable competitor with proper TV time and TNA/Impact had totally imploded by 2016. The gap between them and WWE was now so far that ROH were bigger than them. The second company to the E now was NJPW all the way IN JAPAN! So, in the US, the E was a monopoly, basically, for that three year period. And this was what we got as a result of that. 2019, you get viable competition plus a pandemic and WWE actually starts trying again! Go figure!

    The real irony that Roman was at his absolute lowest point booking wise here, and yet his return in 2020 and winning the Universal title is what started the resurgence of WWE as a product. Dude always had the potential and it just took him hitting his lowest point to realize it. Also, RIP to Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk. We lost the former too soon and the latter redefined wrestling.

    These were definitely some of the worst years of WWE history. OMG, the amount of bad garbage we got here was just disgusting, and makes you wonder how the hell did any of this pass the creative minds. While we did have some positives during these years, the negatives definitely overshadowed them all, and it made you miss the good ol’ days all the more. But ironically, despite that tho, this was when I came back as a fan, and it makes me wonder, how the hell did I manage to handle it all. What a time to be alive😂.

    Many people talk about how awful Raw was in 2017-2019 and I agree that it was Raw's worst period ever but SmackDown at times was actually worse. Remember SmackDown's 1st year's half ? The tag team division was non existant, the midcard division between Randy Orton...and Jeff Hardy...and Jinder Mahal ??? Yikes ! That awful Carmella/Asuka feud (and yet people calls Carmella's title reign underrated 🤣) and the main program was Nakamura making low blows to Styles...like dude what is this ??? This is probably WWE's worst ever period it's not even funny. Not even the PPVs were that good overall. To forgot all the bad, I wanna talk about the positives of WWE in 2017-2019 : - AJ Styles and Kevin Owens carrying SmackDown (2017) - The tag team division (2017) - Braun Strowman's rise (2017) - Seth Rollins's first Intercontinental championship run (2018's first half) - Becky Lynch's rise and the women's division at its best with Flair/Rousey/Lynch help (late 2018-early 2019) - Daniel Bryan's champion of the planet run (late 2018-early 2019) - KofiMania (early 2019) - Bray Wyatt/The Fiend (RIP btw) (until HIAC 2019)

For every 2 or 3 good moments, we got another 5 or 6 bad ones. Brock and Jinder holding the world titles for most of 2017, raw was unwatchable most times, part timers taking most of the shine, kofi losing his world title in the worst way possible, ppvs were really not good and having so much talent and pretty not doin much with it. These years almost made me stop watching pro wrestling but then roman came back in 2020 and pretty much got me back on it.

    The late 2010s were like the early 90s to modern WWE's mid-late 90s. Today's product isn't as good as the peak Attitude Era, but the late 2010s were arguably worse than the early 90s to the point where the improvement is just as significant.

    Hey I'm glad you brought this up because everytime icaew Doom posting on Twitter I always think back to these years when the roster was way more stacked than it is today yet they were performing in front of half empty arenas all over the country. I didn't hear anybody talking about WWE going out of business in a year I didn't hear anybody calling them the next WCW I didn't hear any of this Doom posting. Every company it's a little rough patch aew is going through it right now but they will recover. So next time somebody wants to sit there and post empty hard cam side just remember like during these years it was like that for almost every raw and SmackDown live for YEARS.

    Just like you, I've watched WWE Stomping Grounds live at the Tacoma Dome, you were right about the seats being tarped off and ppv quality wasn't good, but Samoa Joe vs Ricochet for the US title in my opinion is the only match on the card that deserves a re-watch. I also went to Monday Night RAW after Stomping Grounds in Everett, WA and it was worse. Half of the arena was tarped off, we were ranked as the lowest attendance in RAW's history until COVID-19 happened. The only positives are, The Undertaker saving Roman Reigns from a Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre beat down and Ricochet vs AJ Styles

So, that was at least something i can fall back to. I think once AEW arrived. Thats when WWE really started to sharpmen their skills. And shows you whe having competition from another wrestling promotion is sooo important.
