Yeah, there's a difference between feuds and rivals.
But this makes me wonder, is the WWE as good now as when they had the writer's strike?

I know I sound horribly ignorant, but I don't even remember when the writer strike happened.

Truth be told we can't be sure if their writers were apart of the strike or not. The WWE is a bit cutthroat with their people. Unless they are really big and is a great asset to the company they don't want them doing anything outside of it.
Patrice O'Neil, may he rest in peace, was a writer for WWE over a decade ago (they say during a time before things started going down hill), but he put his comedy first and was fired. I love that he brushed it off. They say Steph called him over and over again to fire him or remind him that he was and when he calmly said okay she seemed the most upset about it.

Yeah, I looked it up, and according to Wikipedia (Not the best source, I know) WWE and TNA have their own in-house writers that aren't part of the WGA. They were unaffected by the strike. I don't watch a lot of TV though so I didn't notice much of a change. Because of the switch to DTV and my lame antenna, I don't recieve NBC any more. I never watched CBS prime time. I pretty much never watch ABC at all, well I started recently to make fun of their Stargate Universe and Atlantis reruns but they took off SGA which was easily the more entertaining show, so I stopped watching ABC. As for HBO, I stopped with that channel after Sex and the City and Six Feet Under went extinct.

HBO became too much like porn. Once when I still lived at home with my mother I fell asleep on the couch with HBO on. It was on some movie I was mildly interested in. The next thing I know My mom is trying to wake me up while fumbling for the remote and some soft core sex flick is on so all you hear is the soft jazz music and moaning.
I don't want ABC and NBC and whatever else they have as much as I use to. The programming is horrible. I can take a look at their season line up and point out which shows are going to be canceled first. Once Upon a Time almost had me but I'm too much of a fairy tales buff to sit through the Disney versions of the story with a twist and a cliched tough blonde protagonist with abandonment among other emotional issues. I saw that enough on USA.
Grimm has won me over though.

It sounded like one of the Usos yelled out "******** you!" to start their "Polynesian War Chant." That corset Rosa Mendez was walking around in looked like it was made of metal. I don't know anything else about the plot for Tag Team titles. All I saw on Raw was Kane's return.
I have to wonder, is Disney out of fairy tales to water down? I mean they started off on that, then Pixar carried them for what, a decade? What's going on with them now?

Disney has ran out of ideas thanks to them pushing their tween musical pop-stars and relying on Pixar to come up with all of the good original ideas, and a few true stories, and Studio Ghibli.
I'd love to see them do something original again instead or remakes, part twos and so on. And not another Pirates movie. I think everyone is starting to phone it in with that one now.
