Is there a thread to talk and ask questions about old wwe? Or should I just use the WWE thread?

you can just use the wwe thread. its mostly for chatting (making fun) about modern fed stuff but a lot of us have been watching for decades so we can answer your questions

Ok I'll do that.

you should create a nostalgia WWE thread and I'd post in it too, been thinking about how WWF almost used the Michinoku Pro guys in a serious attempt to rival WCW's Lucha-based cruiserweights and thought it'd be fun to talk about

Beyond the big names wrestlers I dont know anything about WWF/WWE history. I wouldn't know where to start for an OP for a thread like that. I didn't start watching wrestling until end of 2022 and have only watched JCP/WCW up to 1989.

Ok I made the thread. If the mods or anyone else has a better title don't be afraid to change it.

Could the mods rename the Wrestlemania thread to something like "WWE Weeklies/PPV: DDTs of Our Lives" and add a rule of the thread being for shows discussion only?

Whatever. There is a separate thread now for talking about the shows. There is no reason we should start this crap again.

This is the way, and I say that as someone who watches WWE. There is clearly no desire to actually discuss the product here, so keep the Vince/company culture thread open and nuke the others

Wouldn't that need to be a blanket ban on all TKO holdings threads?

Why not? TKO is what paid Vince recently with the stock buybacks and they aren't just generating money from WWE content. They own the territory and WCW archives and UFC PPV have to be giving them a good chunk of change.

WCW doesn't exist anymore and Vince McMahon didn't run UFC and mold its culture in his image for 40 years.

That doesn't matter. Many of you are validly pointing out that watching a stream of Raw on Hulu generates some amount of money that goes to TKO Holdings and may end up in Vince's pocket. This also applies to archive footage of the territories or WCW found on social media or Peacock and PPVs of UFC matches.

Please stop doing your bad faith bit, but especially stop doing it in this thread. This isn't a conversation that is actually happening.

It is not bad faith to point out this hypocrisy. It doesn't matter which asset generates the money if the money still goes to Vince whi h seems to be a good portion of people's problem.
