Namtab posted:Can wwe survive without Vince though Almost certainly Will it ever be as popular again? No, he's definitely ruined that for HHH and Steph. At least he gave us that one good thing, they'll always have a low ceiling of potential once they finally get the company

the escape goat posted:man. why is WWE like this. Entrenched brands don't have to worry too much about their quality. They could throw, oh I don't know, Jinder Mahal to the top of the card and it probably wouldn't affect their bottom line in any meaningful way. Oh wait? They actually did that? Wow. But see what I mean? ChrisBTY fucked around with this message at 05:22 on May 7, 2018 |

Someone get in the ear of some higher up at Google or Facebook or Amazon, we need a money mark with a bottomless checkbook as competition to get WWE to care about product quality again

I've been feverish for a better part of this week and just recently get better so like, did I hallucinate the charlotte finish? Because in my brain it was: charlotte does not have her opponent down or whatever, gets up on the turn buckle and carmella tries to interfere, jumps off for what appears to be no logical reason, tweaks her knee landing nowhere near her opponent who was clearly on her feet interfering, gets kicked in the leg falls over and then eats a weird looking pin? The rest of the room I was in basically stopped watching since the match was poo poo but man I feel like I'm still delirious.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:when it gets sold to disney I'm sure they'll be fine as a brand Yeah, like this is the “joke” option, but Disney understands the idea of “ stories must ultimately culminate in a way that satisfies the audience.” Vince used to get this concept back when WCW was breathing down his neck, but things changed. Disney run WWE would absolutely run better programs than the McMahons. Really WWE would be a great target for a hostile takeover by a company the size of Disney. 3 billion is a loving rounding error to them, and it would be a license to print money.

Disney wwe would be extremely mediocre and I don't get how a fan of wrestling could ever want that.

Nak would at least get the title after a heel turn because that is how storytelling works - you then have a third act where the face chases it after the darkest moment of the soul. Vince run WWE is like “lol gently caress him and his Rumble win, he no speaka English!”

Hostile takeovers are only possible if voting shares are on the market, and iirc WWE only offers non-voting shares to the public.

To give a hint of how Backlash was. Miz was in the match of the night and Bayley was in the best woman's match of the night on the preshow.

RealFoxy posted:Yeah, I mean who even watched Black Panther? Yeah I love the movie where the hero gets his cool tech but because he's a black guy it has to be sneakers and a chain, with a funny joke scene where he reaches for the gold chain instinctively and has to stop himself. Great, definitely not racist movie.

Also his powers are that if you whip him it makes him stronger because he can turn that energy around. Amazing. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
