Ronda left and Becky got pregnant and those were the only two real draws they had

It says something that Rousey is an division-killing loss when she worked a total of 70 matces in a total career of 13 months, with 2 losses.


She debuted with Angle at WM34, and hasn't had a match since the triple threat with Becky and Charlotte on 4 August 2019.

I wonder if they thought for any second about actually building any women up to actual come off as a threat to her. Because at the time every woman aside from Nia and Charlotte was basically treated as a joke.

The HHH thing pretty much tracks with how WWE handles the NXT callup failures. Just blame the wrestlers for not getting over. Convince them it's their own fault for not trying hard enough, it's not Vince or the writers or anyone's fault but their own, etc. Just next level gaslighting.

It's a politicking survival strategy for him. It has to be their fault because otherwise it's his, and that's unacceptable when you're THE GAME UHAHUEHUE

:aronrex:

” It's so funny to me sometimes how in our business, everyone is so worried about where someone is going to go or land or how is this going to play out long-term in the future. How about watch it? Do you like it or do you not like it? Do you have to say 'I like it, but I like this other thing more." Just watch it or don't."

"And stop trying to figure out where everything goes. Fans ruin their own stuff half the time trying to figure out where everything goes and why it's going there and how, and then trying to pick up their phone and search for the thing to find out what it is can ruin it for them so they aren't surprised when it happens. I don't understand that.”

other than fits and starts, which the company immediately quashes, this company has been on a steady systematic decline since the highs of the early 00s.

some treasured highlights of this company sabotaging itself:
-Zach Ryder on his own time creates a huge youtube brand. He's paired with John Cena who unapologetically sleeps with his girlfriend.
-Piggy James. That should have resulted in broken jaws. The disrespect.
-Stephanie getting mad at Dusty Rhodes for being too charismatic on a live mic.
-the repeated mocking of Jim Ross's medical conditions.

I'm still trying to the find the spot where the powershift happened in their storytelling that established the McMahons were completely unimpeachable and everyone else became loser fuckers that can't stand up to the boss. I think it was somewhere after they blew up McMahon's limo.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I stand by while the decline was perpetual the moment it went from "improving to a decline" to freefall was when they put the belt on Jinder Mahal as it was a moment where it straight up insulted the audiences intelligence fundamentally in what they understand wrestling to be. We recently saw this again with The Miz second reign and boy what the gently caress.

I would say the endless authority angle was when they could’ve fixed things, but it continued after Daniel Bryan won the world championship for like, a year. To the point where they were screwing over heel Seth Rollins on pay-per-view, because they were out of things to do.

The CM punk promo also could’ve re-invigorated things, it got a lot of attention. But you can’t do a shoot promo about why your company sucks and not address anything

Vince had one moment in his life where he took stock of the direction of the company and decided his way wasn't the best and gave up a little bit of power. And he never wanted to ever have to go through that again.
