To the mods editing the thread titles please remember that The King never puts a space after punctuation so it should be "The Jase Regal Memorial Thread:wave your flag,pump your chubby little fist" to properly honor him.

I would hire someone in their early 30s who has 20 years of experience in the business and who could fund and run the show for me and make it perfect.

12 creative writers living in one house together, writing a pro wrestling show for an extremely online fanboy. Every week, 2 of the writers will be eliminated. Honestly, I'd watch it.

I'm also confused as to the "search high and low copying what bill busch did" bit, considering that when Bill Busch became a VP in WCW after Bischoff got fired, he ended up hiring Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara. That neither sounds like a 'high and low' search, nor does "well spoken, has excellent marketing skills". Maybe he's thinking of Bill Shaw, who was one of the WCW execs that promoted Eric Bischoff in 1993? Which also was not a "high and low" search, Bischoff had already joined the company a couple years earlier when AWA collapsed.VideoWitch posted:Has Cornette ever actually had the book anywhere outside of a short lived regional wrestling promotion? While he was still running SMW, he signed a deal with WWF and was involved in creative from some period between 1993 and mid 1997, at which point he was let go for fighting/threatening Kevin Dunn and Vince Russo. Then he was the head booker of Ohio Valley Wrestling, until he got fired for slapping Santino and generally being abusive to people. After that, he joined TNA and was there from 2006-2009 until he got fired again for threatening Vince Russo and others. In 2009, he got hired by ROH and was "executive producer" until he got fired in late 2012 for among other things, threatening backstage employees. So he does have a pretty solid track record working as a booker, but a big part of that track record is getting fired for being verbally and/or physically abusive!

These folks think that all these guys are some magical creative geniuses and yet none of them were able to create a viable competition to wwe. There may be things about Tony's booking that aren't perfect but these people are in denial about his ability if they think he isn't doing something right. He is uniquely positioned to fund the program during lean times, has a passion for the product and is obsessive enough for the workload.

plus he's already - and within his first year of running shows - weathered the kind of storm that would and did put a lot of entertainment companies out of business. I don't always love Tony's booking, but the poo poo he pulled to get a weekly wrestling show out without interruption during the pandemic was frankly amazing. Especially as he'd been booking a weekly wrestling show for less than six months at that point.

make it feel like that press conference? First they complain about there not being enough stories in aew and then when AEW has a show where it's non stop stories they're mad it's not feeling like real life drama bleeding into the product?
