I like Asuka but I'm ready for the streak to end, it's not as fun knowing she's not gonna lose.

I can get that but I’m the opposite. I think itd be more surprising if they actually kept the streak alive for YEAR. 3-4 years of being undefeated on the main roster. Imagine when she actually loses, would be great. I love Asuka so much I never want her to lose so I’m completely biased here lol

My thing is if you already know she's gonna win every match, don't have her wrestle every week. Last week's match with Sasha was amazing but she didn't need to wrestle Bayley this week. Is she going to be in the Elimination Chamber too?

She’s fighting Nia. If Nia wins, it becomes a triple threat match at WM for the title

I get your point. I don’t think she should wrestle on RAW very often or at all and strictly wrestle at PPVs if she is going to go undefeated for a while.

for starters, Samoa Joe isn't really a mid carder.

But let's not forget the stories and flash that followed Val Venis, the Godfather, Brood, etc.

Also, the Hardys, Edge and Christian (for the most part), the Dudleys, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit and Eddie were all mid carders in the 90s.

I’ll agree the Tag Teams in the 90s was 100 percent better but when it comes to the singles competitors this generation is clearly better .

Actual wrestling, i agree. Entertaining and putting on a show, give me the Attitude/Ruthless Aggression Era's.

U have no idea what these performers could do in that era . I mean honestly stone cold probably would of been released in today’s WWE . The rock would of probably been a good mid carder in today’s WWE . Now Joe , Balor , Miz , Ambrose would of killed in the attitude era assuming they didn’t kill Balors character by making him a useless cruiserweight like they did almost everyone else like him .

Part of this is just plain silly talk. The Rock and Stone Cold would have been stars today as well because they were great characters that could promo their asses off. Stone Cold was no in ring slouch either.

For all the Vince is crazy talk and the PG era of promos and storylines, todays headliners don’t even have the selling ability and in ring presence of the Rock or Austin. This is just silly

WCW winning is part of the reason Vince let those guys develop more edgy characters. Today, with no major competition for WWE, we might very well be seeing Rocky Mavia versus the Ringmaster every week on Main Event (if anyone still watches Main Event).

It's really an apples to oranges comparison between today and the Attitiude Era.
