Tbf, Charlotte can't be mainstream famous because she is unrecognisable.

xbilkis posted:Congrats to Rhea for some people online thinking she's hot, but even on the front of "attractive woman with a social media following" she has half as many Instagram followers as Charlotte Flair, who is absolutely not mainstream famous. In these discussions I always think back to this guy at work who thought "pro wrestling" had been canceled in the 90s and had no idea it was more than just a single tv show or that it continued on through today. Or that survey Meltzer talked about a few months ago where like 30% or some insane percentage of people couldn't name a single pro wrestler past or present.

While there is some crossover and media is way more friendly to wrestling than in the past just by the nature of the current market and the fragmentation it's hard to make a huge crossover star on the level of a Hogan, Austin, Rock, Santo, Inoki, and Baba. And it's not like wrestling needs one, it just needs a star strong enough to keep it's current audience from falling cause it produces better numbers than most things on TV

Logan Paul beating Roman at Wrestlemania 40 is the exact kind of thing I would expect Vince to do.

Julio Cruz posted:Jericho probably counts as “mainstream famous” jericho and cm punk are prob recognizable to a decent amount of non wrassle fans. as far as wwe and if we're not counting ppl who were already very famous (bad bunny/paul) uhhh idk whenever roman doesn't get mistaken for Jason momoa maybe the saturation has gotten deep enough for some normie recognition?

Logan Paul is going to win MITB and then beat Seth Rollins for the title at Summerslam and then disappear with the belt until like January. This is WWE, so the dumbest thing possible would be to create a new belt since Roman has the other one all tied up, then almost immediately put it on a guy who will also tie it up, just to set up a big Wrestlemania match between Roman and Logan Paul where Roman ends up with all three belts.

I'd say Fast 9 but I sometimes completely forget he was in it e: LA Knight being 40 means he's old enough for Vince to give him a push with the US belt for a couple years then maybe in five or so he'll get a two month reign with the big strap Intruder fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Jun 21, 2023 |
