I think the B shows this year were faaaar better than they used to be before.

The booking of Damage CTRL is definitely an honorable mention. I'm so damn disgusted by the amount of times the creative team have screwed them over. WWE keeps telling us that they're a cohesive, dominant force of the women's division, except they don't WIN WHEN IT COUNTS. Even after Kairi and Asuka both joined them, they STILL LOST at WarGames. Ridiculous! It started at Extreme Rules last year, and it has continued to this day. They deserve so much better.

Not getting why WC has some hate boner for the World Heavyweight Championship. The design is OK and Seth has done a pretty good job of putting it over unlike Roman Reigns

Honestly the world championship design is not bad if they’re not bringing back the winged eagle they ain’t bringing back big gold belt

#1. Strapped the belt to Reigns and he barely defended the title 🤑

I actually disagree with the World Heavyweight Title. The look was an adjustment, but I honestly have grown to like it- and there is no doubt it would look good on wrestlers like Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn. 2nd, outside of the 'secondary title' argument made during its inception- the World Heavyweight Championship has had some of the best stories and matches tied to it. Seth has made it a point to make each feud mean something, and to elevate all talent involved. He takes the responsibility of the title seriously and has already placed it on a better path than the Universal Title ever was. His matches with Finn, Damien, Bron, Shinsuke, Drew, Sami, and Jey have all received almost universal praise from fans, and has made fans WANT to see some of these opponents hold the title. It's that want. That desire for them to hold the belt that makes it matter. It makes it feel important. The IC Title is great, but you can't tell me Gunther Vs The Miz is more prestigious or more exciting than Seth Vs Sami or Seth Vs Jey. Gunther Vs Tomasso Ciampa or Gunther Vs Bronson Reed- incomparable to Seth Vs Shinsuke or Seth Vs Drew McIntyre. Because Gunther has the record. He has the skill- but Seth has the same skill, but with much more in-depth stories. It doesn't need redemption. It doesn't need all this extra stuff. People know it's new. People know why it's there. It's the fact that these wrestlers put their ALL into this belt, and made it feel valuable. I promise. The general consensus is not as bad as you think.

Hold on a minute the World Heavyweight Title they introduced is amazing its beautiful and the design is good

Am I the only person who loves the design of the WHC? So many people hate it.

Gotta remember a lot of these things happened under Vince's idiocy. Now that HHH is fully in charge, most of these problems will be addressed

Really number 1 should be how predictable it has become because most of the ppvs this year you can basically see who’s going to win what matches and what will happen after the matches coming from a mile away. The only ppv i feel that wasn’t really that predictable was survivor series due to punk’s return and the war game matches.

I mean it’s not a what culture list when talkjng about negative stuff if they don’t bring up Seth Rollins

#1 actually goes to Roman Reigns and entire The Bloodline storyline especially storyline that came out from The Bloodline already didn't even made sense and directionless since Summerslam

I can’t believe you said Seth’s title reign flopped. He is completely over with the crowd. He had a ton of great matches. Give him a break!

Hey the new World title looks great. It just needs to be bigger so thhlat everything isn't scrunched together and make the logo a different color.

Could agree with a lot of those, but I think you missed quite a few as well: - dropping the ball with wrestlers after feuds (like with Sammy after his exit from Bloodline, or with Sheamus after those bouts with Gunter and when they made Brawling Brutes a thing); - making it TOO obvious with new programs (oh, Cody didn't finish the story? who cares?! here's the Beast, let him conquer that peak! oh Sammy couldn't take on Tribal Chief? who cares?! here's him and K.O. teaming up again and going after tag-titles!); ...probably could name a few more, but too lazy putting up examples. Something about women titles (not the tag-ones) not having any stories behind them, and men's tag-team ones being just a sub-plot for both Bloodline and Judgement Day's storylines instead of having a value of their own.

I feel like Triple H makes WWE more watchable

Now do one for aew

I agree that the introduction of the new WHC was a wasted opportunity to further elevate the Intercontinental Title as the second most important WWE title, just like it was a long time ago, but I think Seth's doing great trying to elevate the WHC by defending it in almost every ppv and putting great matches. Maybe WWE needed yet another title, given the size of the current roster.

#1 SEPARATE THE DAMN TAG BELTS

I need to learn to skip to the end of a WC Wrestling video before I decide to watch the whole thing. That way I can see who wrote it and decide to watch it based on that.

Predator for decades Vince

Who tf wrote this script 😂 😂 😂

I remember when Adam did these and they were funny

I guess I am an outlier in that I like the Heavyweight title.

Reading the description and basically whatever the old man had already known himself.

Feel like some of your negatives are pretty harsh. Curious if you had to give a grade to this year, what would you give it?

Hard disagree. I love both the look and Seth's run with the world heavyweight title

Damn what culture and Simon miller couldn’t be more different. Simon looks for the best in things and makes wrestling enjoyable while this is just a big negativity festival.

It hurts my heart that I was at SummerSlam this year for the first time, yet it lands on this list. It deserves to be on it, though. Sucks that the first Rumble I see live is 2022 in St. Louis and I follow that up with SummerSlam in Detroit...at least SS wasn't as bad as RR.

"The lack of a youth movement" AEW: Hold my beer!

seth rollins has made made that title great. I've gotta politely disagree this time

Everything is predictable nowadays. Bet Reigns, Gunther, Ripley, and Rollins and you'll never loose.

Don’t forget that Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Trish Stratus were not on the Summerslam card either? WWE needs to start calling up some more NXT people in 2024. Especially amongst the women.

Age thing is a non issue with these responsible older guys who've looked after their bodies. Biggest fail of 2023 was Roman Reigns, handsdown.

Coming from the same guy who said the problem was Vince McMahon and everything would be perfect if just Triple H was in charge.

I think the new WC design is very good

2:12 2:27 also lol they didn't have RR or Brock Lesnar fight for it but everyone else could or did

This year's Summerslam was not bad. Sure not all matches were good but damn Jey Uso vs Roman Reigns was great

This is why the cm punk Rollins match has to be for the title . The fued doesn't need the title , but the title needs the fued.

When are we getting a list of top failed draft wasted picks

I think Money in the Bank was the best ppv this year and as far as the world heavyweight title goes did you forget that this isn't real sport? They don't want to take the belt off Roman yet and seeing as he only works a few weeks a year we did need an equivalent level title to be contested regularly and no matter what Gunther does with the IC belt which I love and have since the mid 80s it's not a world title. As far as looks go I never liked that dull looking world title from way back when Rick Flair was telling all it was the real world championship it just looked bland so I don't understand how people could be fawning over it. I prefer the new design, is it fantastic? No but it's an improvement.

Gotta disagree about the age thing to me if you got it then you got it the fact he didn’t mention Randy is 43 tells you a lot that mf can still go..same with Rey mysterio

They should’ve NEVER took the titles from Sasha and Bailey

That’s not entirely true for the b shows, they can be really amazing. I’ve seen a whole bunch that were top-notch. Here’s the thing Seth Rollins can’t have a bad match and he is elevating that title. He has because of great matches.

Also worthy of being forgotten are Trish Stratus' heel run, part-time pseudo-celebrity Logan Paul as U.S. champion, Karrion Kross foundering and how NXT talent brought to the main roster in the draft were soon overshadowed by other NXT talent crossing over to Raw and Smackdown.

Wether you like the WHC belt or not is the true tribalism in wrestling

dang seems like they really don't like the new WHC lol

Ok hear me lut have some monster singles star win the tag titles then split them into two midcard belts

While I agree with some of your points. I’m not a fan of making a video of your own opinion and presenting it as fact.

So how did Drew McIntyre return them? Maybe it’s only for another year and then we’ll see.

I really want to know who's writing these articles. Cuz I swear y'all will say one thing and one video and then say something completely contradictory to that in another video. Then again this is why Simon is the only one on this channel I can stand for the most part.

What is he talking about the b ple’s are awsome

Can't really disagree with any of this.

I love the world heavy weight title and look, also Seth Rollins run is so much stronger than Roman boring crap.

This Andy Murray guy is the biggest WWE hater of all time lmao

They couldn't be more wrong about the WHC. Seth has done a great job with. Yall complain for the sake of complaining.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the WHC Title design.

Whats up with the hate boner for the WHT and Seths run?

In defense of Gable Stevenson he is relatively new to the business. Give him a few years before judging his promo skills and in ring wrestling.

I've seen a lot of these semi anti WWE videos all almost say for this one as I hope there's a corresponding AEW video coming within the next couple of weeks, I love what culture but it seems like they get a lot of content crapping on "the fed"

You guys show that in anyway you have alot in common with the scenario new is better seth whole run has lacked luster but he’s working a roster and is barely booked for anything physical

The world heavyweight title looks great. They needed another world title because Roman is a SD guy now.

Bro aj is 46.....what the heck 😳

I Disagree a lot with that video, but well, that maybe means I'm the winner here, since I enjoyed the WWE Product in 2023

I think that the h in Andy h Murray’s name should stand for hey I’m just being honest about when matches and ples in wwe are bad

All the belts are held by heels and they hold them forever.

The WHC is overhated man yall trippin

Brock Lesnar has an executive role backstage tending to Vince's grapefruits. Roman Reigns has a similar role with HHH.

I would also add in the Draft thing. Absolutely unremarkable and without any real meaning. Everyone appears everywhere whenever they want. It was a waste of time that led to nothing.

Unless WWE and wrestling as a whole pushes women's tag teams period tag titles are pointless

If I picked Woman's division this year sucked

As a company who always talks about being anti-tribalism (even though you’re a big reason for it) and a love for wrestling, you guys seem to hate it more the anyone. All your lists are negative or critical

6:50 Amateur wrestlers tend to not throw Suplexes. So that point is a bit weird...

Selloutculture once again putting out criticisms to the show that probably needs the least amount of critcism because we all know others need crticism NWA, TNA, ROH could really use criticism to help their product and let their creators see what needs to be fixed, but nah, gotta keep making sure they wanna get paid and get signed for future deals

In what world has Seth’s reign flopped?

You're just shytting on everything, yeesh 😂💀

This man really doesn’t like WWE

World titles should not be defended that often… there I said it

I think the WHC is a better title then the Universal Title cause at least Seth Rollins actually shows up and wrestles and you know defends the title unlike Boring Lame who has reduced the Universal Title to nothing more then a prop due to him holding it hostage, and not showing up along with hardly if mostly never wrestling, including not doing title defenses and when he does have a title defense it always ends the same aka Boring retains due to either Paul, Solo, or Jimmy interfering meaning Boring can't even defend the title on his own as he lets his goons do his dirty work for him and why because the higher-ups at WWE want him to not only break Sammartino's 1000-day reign record but also Hogan's supposedly 1200-day reign record. Honestly the sooner Lame's boring as hell reign of terror ends the better.

The Bloodline/Roman stuff is just tired.

You should change your channel to ContradictCulture. Because half these things you said were the greatest things of 2023, & said it was a great year to be a wrestling fan. In fact, thats the exact headline for a video you uploaded months ago. Why 2023 is the best year for wrestling fans. You also said that last year, & the year before that. Then contradicted yourselves by saying half those ideas were very bad. I'm convinced you all worked for Vince at some point. Either that or you're just not doing any research hoping your fans are just as incompetent as you. Which could also be very true

Andy I remember 2 years ago you were complaining about vince not giving new older stars in their 30s a chance, like riddle, ciampa, gargeno, now ur complaining about their not being any youth? Ngl your seriously very unlikable at times, u change ur opinions so quickly.

I have to say that I disagree with pretty much this entire list.

Im do confused why it seems that you all hate the WC belt so much.

WWE is great again they always give explanations got nt 10 main eventers Nxt awesome. Look at Aew it's doing good n it no even close to WWE

Andy is like the whiny, annoying Simon Miller lol.

Roman Reigns' run has had the same effect that the NWO did with Hogan as the champ. You buried almost every single top talent and created a theoretically unbeatable champion. And theyve dragged it out for so long that when its finally over its not gonna feel right. If they dont drop the belt to Cody at wrestlemania, they're gonna ruin the entire run and in 10 years people will talk about how stupid it actually was

There's a lot of youth movement..

B for BS for this 10 things

Another thing that WWE wants to forget about 2023 is one of the absolute dogshite RAW after WrestleMania episodes ever.

Nahhh the b level shows were good y’all wrong

The fans don't care about the women's tag team title 😂 😂 😂 nor those in the matches

Damn I feel horrible for whoever wrote this. Imagine being so miserable

You completely misunderstood the point of Triple H introducing the WHC on Raw!!!

What culture definitely has something against seth and whc

Pretty terrible list especially surrounding the WHC. So yeah, I disagree with a lot of these.

Triple H really does need to learn that not EVERY story needs to be dragged out for ages. Get to the point quicker.

A decade from now Theory is gonna be on a list of the top ten failed pushes of the 2020s. Guy is so boring.

“Great job?” Backlash was predictable. Upselling it as great was moronic

First!
