Whatever they paid Logan Paul would probably cover all these people's salary for the year.

Maybe Andrade got the money upfront knowing full well that there's a 0% chance Alberto actually makes it to that match.

His gimmick is "The Finest" where he wears fancy clothes and jewelry but acts like a goober.

Back when he was on the Florida house show loop his gimmick was what I can only describe as "opioid addict". He would come out all disheveled and would constantly itch his face. In the ring he would act spaced out and would keep referring to his opponent as his friend and try to hug him. It was weird.

What's so insane is that I don't remember them screwing up this badly and regularly during the dark days of the mid-90s/New Generation when they were hemorrhaging stars and going broke. There were mistakes and poo poo, but nothing on the level of catastrophic gently caress-ups over the last few years.

I think the difference is back then they were truly trying to put out a good product and were doing a bad job of it, whereas today they are making obscene amounts of money from their TV/Peacock deals so their only incentive is to do the bare minimum to meet their contractual obligations.

It's very funny how much WWE's decline has mirrored WCW's, right down to having their own Power Plant that sucked at producing stars because they taught everyone to lift weights instead of wrestle.

This is so delusional lmao what does this person think is any different this time? There's always been young wrestlers on the main roster and there's always been talent waiting in NXT. It doesn't matter. Vince only cares about ~5 people and nobody else matters. Nobody else us being built up. It's literally always been that way except maybe a few of the attitude era years.
