Everyone I know watches for pretty much the same reason. You don't know anyone who watched a Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, or Floyd Mayweather fight, but not the latest UFC or boxing events?

Austin was a badass who beat the crap out of assholes. Repeatedly, like nearly every single night. That's why it worked. Vince/Austin was a unique take on it. Now they still have the Vince/Austin factor, but now the heroes rarely win, which is the exact mindset that helped kill Vince's rivals in the first place.

Vagabundo posted:My biggest issue with the 2012 match isn't that the ending is bad in a vacuum (it's fine when taken out of context, since it tells a coherent story - Big McLargeHuge comes in, fucks up the hero, but is hoisted by his own petard due to his hubris) but that it came in "the worst year of Cena's life." Don't worry, WWE has been doing this for you for multiple years now, just with the entire WWE roster. They even included the 'everyone sucks so much we're pushing a Drew' bit!

JT Smiley posted:I don't get people on there who act like Meltzer has some anti WWE bias when in reality he's often too kind when it comes to them. Just listen to him defend this Lana story line even though it makes no sense whatsoever. Meltzer being biased against whatever company you like and towards whatever company you dislike is a tradition that existed long before reddit.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:When was the bug shift in the IWC or has it always been like this? I'm the early 2000s I was very much on the wrestling boards and chatrooms and just saying you liked the WWE in any capacity would get you labeled a mark but it's like completely reversed now. All you need to know is that all evidence we have is that the IWC hated babyface Steve Austin and thought turning him heel was a great idea. Basically nothing has changed.

Babyface cash-ins on weakened opponents are always terrible and part of the reason why the babyface run after that fails is because a wrestler WWE has faith in would have a cash-in built up to instead of going 'gently caress it, we're not giving you a real push to the title, but here, have the belt!' The terrible run after the cash-in is because WWE thinks the wrestler sucks too much to actually carry their end of the feud.

Davros1 posted:It was Vince SR's idea. The Senior McMahon was big on ethnic gimmicks, so he pictured Hogan as an Irish character. In defense of Vince Sr., I believe his reasoning was that Bruno was a massive draw among Italian fans, so Hogan was supposed to be that kind of draw, but for the Irish.

Shard posted:This is revisonist history because folks absolutly cared about Cena. During his first heel run, then during his face turn and right up until he was fighting Christian and Angel for the world title. And even then half the crowd loved him and half the crowd hated his guts. But people were never quiet. You're right in that nowadays women and children are considered people by hardcore wrestling fans, but they definitely weren't during Cena's prime. They were the enemy, and if those groups liked a wrestler, it was proof that wrestler sucked.

I can't help but wonder if part of the reason he did it is he knew he was opening the show with the return of Danielson, someone he knew A) he could trust completely, and B) Chicago would go nuts with joy over seeing.

The thing about high-end ECW is that the people who have done nothing since leaving ECW/ECW died but leech off the ECW name weren't the people doing high-end stuff. So the names who are associated with only having success in ECW drag the reputation down, along with a lot of the angles/edginess just...well, being exactly what 'the problem with the Attitude Era is that it's not edgy enough' would result in. Like if you tell me 'Yeah ECW Great Shane Douglas' I go 'okay there is no way that's watchable unless he's being carried'.
