Not really, mate. No.

My wife and I have come home from the pub with a curry and we are watching Mania 30 whilst having a grand old time. When you want to enjoy it, it’s fun.

Are you telling your curry wife about all the libs you're pwning or whatever is happening here

I guess it being fun for its own sake is too much to ask for. Sorry for you and your wife's lovely options, but then again you do live in England.

I’m not trying to “own” anyone at all or trying to be a dick to anyone. I’m actually just trying to talk about the graps, and this forum/Punk.

I’m clearly backing a losing horse here, so I’m gonna bow out.

It's especially puzzling when we now know what the rest of this year now looked like. Was anything made better by Roman being champ?

Yeah I mean, Cody touring as the champ would probably bring in more money than Roman who never tours. And like, this is self-inflicted. They're choosing to keep Roman at home for months at a time for ???

Has anything come out about what Roman is actually doing in his time away from WWE? The last time I remember things having been this quiet around a dude, it was Bray Wyatt, and it was actually the right thing to do. I hope Roman is in good health.

It’s like how WWE used to be really good at making you want a match by not giving you the match just yet, if they keep Roman off TV long enough people will be white hot for his return

I like the bit where everyone shits on the Fed but seemingly forgets there target audience is children and not dudes who actually pay attention. It's mostly a very funny thread.

Tho if Cody doesn't win THIS WrestleMania, I'm done.

I dunno if this has changed in recent years but I thought it was interesting that WWE's audience used to skew really old. Elderly old, not middle-aged or 30s or whatever. I think this was even when their merch sales were all children with 200 different color Cena shirts.

Cody had an interaction with Punk on whatever show he’s in and was like “in order to achieve your goal and finish YOUR story you’d have to be in the rumble and win it for a shot at Wrestlemania, like I just announced my intentions to do, right? “

Hmm, interesting.

And Orton/LA knight get the best crowd reactions.

That is honestly really surprising, I started watching a year ago cause my 10-ish year old nephews were getting into it so I kinda assumed that their entire focus was kids under 13. I've had a lot of fun watching the PLEs/PPVs for both companies but don't care enough to watch more than that a month unless someones pushing a very cool headline.

Am I missing something or is there really no PLE/PPV between now and the rumble? :|

The latest study I could find is from Wrestlenomics citing Nielsen from February, where WWE's age was falling but still in the 40s:

It makes a certain amount of sense. Those 10 year olds aren't driving themselves to shows or usually buying their shirts

Since when has wwe ever given a poo poo about ring work.

This is what is baffling me about Jade not doing anything in WWE yet.

Coz sure, she may not be able to have a 5 star tear the roof off match with your Becky Lynch/Asuka/Charlotte yet.

But all they need to do is have her walk out, look like a star, beat up some jobber quickly and do a cool power move or 2. Then look like a star getting her hand raised, all while commentary puts over how awesome and good she is and why the WWE audience should care and love her.

Bingo bango, she is a huge star, and mediocre ring work be damned, so long as she looks at the camera, all is good.

But instead, they waste all the "superstar" energy and charisma she has, by having he shake hands with people backstage. And not even in skits or vignettes or anything.

I mean…it makes sense. AEW probably has a certain number of fans tuning in to specifically watch Stings farewell tour featuring ric flair or the Edge/Christian feud but the younger crowd may look and see a feud ending in Adam Page drinking his opponents blood and just not tune in for the fantastic matches…or they just don’t have time to pick and choose between all the shows
