I was skeptical when people insisted that Vince was the only problem and WWE would be much better without him, but yeah. That seems to have been in the case. First time since probably since the lead up to Mania 30 that I've actually made seeing Raw and Smackdown a priority. Still early to say, but so far it has been a massive improvement.

And of course, Hulu lost rights to stream the shows lmao.

Idk what's going on with that. This morning, I watched the first half of Smackdown, and then when I sat down for lunch I tried to put on the second half, and it was gone. Had to watch the rest on some sketchy site. But they still had last week's episode and the most recent Raw. Peacock has it, but it's like a month behind.

Hopefully it stays on Hulu, or is available on some other service. I'm rarely able to watch Smackdown live. Raw I'm usually home for, but three hours is a fucking long show, and I usually watch like half and watch the rest on my way to work if I go in, or while I'm having lunch or on a treadmill on Tuesday. 

But, the show's been good. The only question is if HHH is actually going to build stars. I think Vince had trust issues, and never 100% got behind anyone until he 100% felt they weren't going to go somewhere else down the line. The only people WWE has truly got behind over the past decade were Reigns, Rollins, and maybe Daniel Bryan (they seemed ready to go all in till he had to retire). And Becky and Bianca on the women's side. Gonna be interesting to see if HHH keeps that as the norm, or if he's going to really push new people at the top. Based on what I've seen, I'm hopeful, but won't be 100% sure until Reigns title Reign ends and it's not by someone like Brock, Goldberg, the Rock, or Rollins.
