The longer they stretch out her in-ring introduction the higher the expectations are going to be. Jade's in-ring ability is not load bearing.

She looks like a tool when she schmoozes with some suits backstage while wearing her ring attire for no reason at all. Maybe they could do some gimmick where she comes out looking bad rear end but before the match starts a box (-like structure) is lowered over the ring so no one can see anything and you just hear a bunch of bumping and stuff and a few minutes later the box is raised back up and Jade is looking badass standing over her defeated opponent. She can do the thing where she says that us loser peons aren't worthy of seeing her perform.

I barely watch this garbage so I'm curious, are these suits trying to curry Jade's favor as a hot free agent or is she pretty much just going around shaking hands like, "I'm just happy to be here  "?

Just have someone midcard cop an attitude with her backstage, then have Jade squash them impressively.

He's not wrong about the business thing. But it being good? Yeah he's losing it. Then again no company is doing main event stories I like personally. I'll just hoot and holler when Ishii and Shingo beat the piss out of each other. Now that poo poo is cinema.

There will never be a satisfying ending to the Bloodline storyline for me. They are not building up a credible face challenger that Roman's been dodging that you want to see beat him. Because that's what they should be doing, where the only way he gets his shot is to win the Rumble. Cody being gone for most of the year with an injury and coming out at #30 was lame. You may as well let Roman keep the belt forever if they're not going to do it right.

Otherwise there's always going to be some subjectivity in voting, because Best Album or Best Artist isn't always Bestselling Album or Bestselling artist. It should be CMLL's booking team (pretty sure it's Ultimo Guererro?) on the strength of the booking and the business metrics of CMLL currently which is doing very well in comparison to 2022, whereas WWE's growth has stagnated compared to 2022. Also AAA should win Worst Promotion and Konnan should win Worst Booker.

At this point, the main guy who should beat Roman is Jey, and not only do I not want to see that match again, I can't even imagine Jey as the top guy to begin with.

Lid posted:Thinking of the worst possible move and realising they will feed GUNTHER to Roman eventually. Don't worry, when GUNTHER gets a program with Roman, their match will happen long after anyone could possibly care. Who knows, maybe GUNTHER will even get to look strong before he slips on a banana peel or Paul Heyman betrays him after having joined the Nazi stable because they are too strong for the Bloodline. Whatever happens, rest assured that it will happen for months on end, will have two good matches, and end with Roman going over in a wet fart finish.

Did it turn business around? I was under the impression from reading a few posts here that the ratings were stagnating year to year lately and I know the stock price has tanked from its high of $115 to around $80 now.

Ratings aren't the only indicator of success. Merch sales and ppv buys and live ticket sales are important too

Maybe my timeline is off but it seemed like the bounce back came about the time Vince was ousted and things started stagnating again when he got back in. Must be a coincidence.

They've had steady ratings and grown ratings before football when Cable's ratings have been down across the board and have had great advanced ticket sales. I still think the product is bad and some of the advances are starting to get soft but it's been on a hot streak since Cody came in last year

I wish the company and journalists gave Sami more credit for the bloodline story getting as over as it has. I have zero interest in WWE's product but what Sami was doing was amazing, got my attention and I actually started looking for his newest stuff. If it could do that to someone like me I imagine it's also a big reason for why a ton of more eyeballs got on the product and dug what they were seeing.

Sami 100% is the reason the Bloodline took off and how Roman finally got over and if they had him beat Roman for even just 1 of the belts in Montreal they'd have a new top star. But instead the minute he got Roman super over they rushed him back to the mid card and are doing everything to get that heat to the Uso's and make people forget about Sami

Sami Zayn is a B+ player, like Seth. Maybe they can give him a gold watch run with Seth’s midcard world title but that’s his peak sadly.

To be fair WWE losing Fox is more about TV being cheap and the coming sports rights fee crash. Plenty of other leagues are noticing networks not wanting to pay big money increases and wanting to go on the cheap Still super funny though!
