I'll third that one - it's the most reasonable option.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I watch the show on watchwrestling the next day, make sure I catch every promo in full and skip the matches that are boring and/or feature people I dont care about.

LOL.
I mean, it already happened, assuming you're comfortable with Sami wearing a mask and hitting people with a brainbuster on the top turnbuckle.

What are your thoughts on GT?
I tried to give it a chance and it was immediately way too goofy.
like dragon ball could be goofy because it was about kids and got dark at times. dragon ball z was dumb shonen stuff and only had a few light hearted moments.
super is like it was written by twitter or some shit like i'm expecting vegeta to go WHEN BAE SAYS HER PARENTS ARENT HOME

You aren't a true Dragon Ball fan unless you own at least one silk goku shirt.

The royal rumble arc of super airing now is pretty good.
You nerds are talking about Dragon Ball Z again??
Dental Plan's funny, though. He still gets a pass.

Yeah, Super progressively became better from the Universe 6 arc onward. It's already surpassed that shit show that was GT (which is even more self referential than Super)
DB Super is the Independence Day: Resurgence to DBZ's Independence Day.
A cynical, calculated cash grab full of fucking terrible fourth-wall breaking winks to some random bit of the prior source material in a fourth-wall joking manner. The older iterations took themselves just seriously enough in presentation to not undermine the story, whereas this new garbage can be summed up as "remember this and how silly that is? only true fans get it!!!!!" masturbation.
It's like watching a really bad version of those DB Abridged YouTube videos... but as the actual source material, not a parody of it.
I only watched part of GT and that was many years ago, but from what little I remember, GT had the decency to present itself at face value.
Frieza telling Goku the naming conventions of the SS God stuff was too convoluted and they should really work on better names was my last straw.
A lot of these complaints probably apply to modern pro wrestling now that I think about it.

Oh c'mon. Super is way better than Independence Day 2
At least Super doesn't have one of its main characters
and then have another main character from the previous installment
GT is probably more cash-in fanwank than Super is. The show pretty much opens with "hey, remember kid Goku from DragonBall? Guess what, HE'S BACK" not to mention it pulls they "bring back a previous villain" shit even more than Super

die off screen

Per PWInsider,
tonight
Next week's Raw will have
Hardys/Revival
Next week's Raw will have
Finn/Drifter No DQ; Seth and Dean vs Miz, Bo and Curtis; and Bayley/Sasha with Summerslam #1 contendership on the line (feels like that'll have a fuck finish, Dave said last week both women's titles looked like they would have multiple opponents for that PPV)
I watched roughly half of GT and certainly won't defend the series on the whole.
It's the fourth-wall breaking with the litany of self-references that I dislike. You want to bring back some silly little thing from some long distant episode? That's cool. You want to do that and have the entire purpose be the equivalent of some shitty Twitter user's comment/joke/meme/etc. but said by the characters in the course of the show? Nah, not for me.
Super and the Buu saga episodes both air on Saturday nights, so sometime during the week I'll watch during lunch back-to-back. The difference in presentation is night-and-day: DBZ wants to present itself at face value (jokes are in the course of story) whereas Super wants you to know the makers are totes in on the jokes and are total fanboys k? "Ya let's go hang out with Yamcha" ooooh shit they know people think Yamcha's a joke.
Pls stop with the meta nonsense and just give me an entertainment product. Pls/
Finn Balor went from being the first Universal Champion (which the daughter of the owner of the company forgot) to feuding with The Drifter....
Is the characters of DragonBall acknowledging that Yamcha is scrub-tier really a wink wink thing by the writers though? I mean, Yamcha hasn't won a fight since before DragonBall Z. It would be weirder if the characters didn't acknowledge it.

Fifth Element had a robot bartender. The way it asks for refills is the movie moment of that decade.
I really wanna see Valerian if it's as Eurotrash sci-fi schlock cheesiness as people are making it out to be.
But Fifth Element had Bruce Willis, not charisma vacuum Dane Dehaan.
