Someone on the Vow Discord made a great point that WWE storytelling isn't cinema

Well I mean. There are some really loving bad movies out there. And I don't mean the "so bad it's good" movies that are at least entertaining, but some real loving turds that are so boring and repulsive that you'd have to pay me to sit through them.

That might be Triple Paul's level, or at least a level he can reach if he tries real hard.

On a side note, I really hope that it's just a thing for Logan Paul's matches and not like... the whole PPV. Perfect dick heel move, terrible overall move if true.

TKO has been very excited about adding more ring sponsorship and basically outright mocking Vince for not doing it and being so against it. They may be okay with rape and sex trafficking but they draw the line at not monetizing every inch of property.

It doesn't fit with Mankind/Taker. But the Prime BS won't detract from the current product because nobody cares about the wrestling.

Also nobody cares about the product.

I feel like the tech to make that stuff can’t be as slippy and hard to wrestle on as it was 25 years ago

It was, due to The Miz. WWE seems to be trying to pretend that the Reality Era now started with Punk's "pipe bomb" promo. Very weird.

WCW and AEW do it right by having the big show logo in the center and the smaller sponsor logo in the corners. I’ve always thought that was a fun look for the canvases, especially when stuff like the Halloween Havoc logo was so visually interesting.

Sometimes heard it referred to as the HD era. The time period didn’t really have anything easily definable as an end point or philosophy despite a bunch changing during it.

I know it’s the cool thing to just poo poo all over WWE in here because they’re a bunch of chuds and match quality is clearly hindered by a different set of rules, but lovely all over the story and production in WWE when the alternative is a bunch of awesome wrestlers having quality matches shot with 30 year old camera equipment with minimal storytelling.

Theres got to be a happy medium between the two.

WWE went full HD in 2008, TNA and NJPW in 2013 and 14 respectively, AEW had to wait until much later, probably because of woke.
