"Having a team of writers make your wrestlers do Mad Libs with approved catchphrases will grow the product" like, how. How will that work. How will more people watch the show if Mox came out and said "Y2J, you will get unscripted violence in our championship opportunity"

And even if WWE product wasn't poo poo why would copying it be a way to succeed? If you want that product your gonna watch the original

If it was good, it would have been a perfecty fine monster movie but it was not good.

The whole "former WWE writers on a podcast" trend was fun for about 10 minutes before we realized these guys had nothing interesting to say, weren't really wrestling fans in the first place, and there's probably a reason they got let go

bebaloorpabopalo posted:https://twitter.com/BJMendelson/status/1538580645429006338 Lets just walk through this for the hell of it. Mox is buried because he loses to a guy who already wrestled that night in a battle royal. That guy, MJF, who's current thing is he thinks he deserves to be in the "better" promotion of WWE, loses to a former WWE guy. Not only proving his point that WWE is better but that he himself is a scrub who would be nothing there. So MJF and AEW are buried. You have no main event to promote for your big ppv because it's MJF vs MYSTERY OPPONENT. Why, in storyline, would it be a mystery opponent? Who knows. Then in your huge first cross-promotional ppv with NJPW you not only don't put a New Japan guy in the main event, but you put in a WWE guy and HAVE HIM WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP thus burying the idea of a crossover event with NJPW AND NJPW itself. And piss off the crowd who, by any reasonable expectation, would be expecting a huge New Japan star as the mystery opponent not a former WWE guy. All to make Bray loving Wyatt the defacto face of your company for reasons that have not been explained. Imagine if they had gone this route and then go out of their way to announce Okada won't be there WHILE promoting a mystery opponent in the main event and then loving Bray Wyatt shows up out of the blue.

If Bray was repackaged as EVIL and everyone just pretended he was the real evil and they disbanded house of torture and threw dick Togo off the Jericho cruise in the middle of the Atlantic I could see it being a good booking direction. I guess as long as halfway through the match taichi came out and hit them both with the steel claw then pinned Bray for the title.

I mean besides the fact they regularly does better PPV and ticket numbers that TNA could only dream of? But you know the TV Number isn't as high as it was 20 years ago for a different company on a different network and also not the number the people who pay the companies care about SO WHOSE TO SAY

I too enjoy things the most when i have been told they made someone a lot of money Yeah, the barometer for success of wrestling is money, if you’re a promoter, but my barometer of success is “did i enjoy watching it” The neverending focus on ratings and profits and buyrates is just a little bizarre

The only thing that matters to AEW is how much the next TV contract goes up by, so just like any startup the point is growth rather than positive cash flow. Maybe it’s a little more important now with equities and interest rates tightening. The video game thing is funny because it’s not relevant either way; if Tony is openly saying “we were profitable except for dev costs” that just means “we were profitable, full stop, I just didn’t feel like paying taxes so I sped up amortization.” You sell a video game for a long time, accounting wise those costs don’t all “count” when you take them.
