I’m so glad I chose to get back into Wrestling only for it to get sold to another dude who just put that megalomaniac back in charge.

Can someone explain to me why Reigns is being pushed as hard as he is? I watched the WWE best of reigns matches last night and I don’t really get it.

MJeff posted:To add to this, WWE's money is tied to guaranteed media deals, not tickets or PPV buys, so they don't actually have to create stars. They can just use the inertia from the last time they were culturally relevant to make insane profits. They've also done an excellent job teaching what's left of their fanbase that the brand is the star, so they'll watch no matter who's on top. Good to know. I can’t remember exactly when but I stopped watching shortly after Cena won the title for the first time. I was never really a fan of the Orton Lesner Cena class. I have been watching old ppvs in order with my oldest and it I remember how frustrated I was back then. Now is almost worse but the mid card is pretty decent.

So, is the Bloodline just a stable of the Rocks evil relatives? I'm watching last weeks AEW (first time) and its so much better than what I've seen from WWE.

Gonzo McFee posted:Always wild to think there was a decade of wrestlers who's prime was ignored because Vince was at least a decade behind and TNA was trying to emulate the death of WCW. It’s crazy to me that I stopped watching wrestling because of reasons - but I remember hearing about he next superstars coming up from indies and now those stars are nobodies (styles and cm punk) while I completely missed the people getting pushed that I didn’t think they ever push (hardy boys split and edge etc) only for them to have a talented roster headed up by some jackass who does a Superman punch.

I was told watching the Royal rumble this year that the final four were the future of the company. Based on what I’ve seen I’d say Solo Sikoa, theory, Damian Priest, and Omos

Hbk was 43 when he fought a 59 year old flair at wm24 and then he fought the Undertaker at WM25-26 when they were both 44-45. Wasn’t Batista oldish when he started too?

All this talk about age - it’s crazy to me that you could have a 40+ person Royal rumble with all the dead wrestlers who have competed in that actual match…through 2009 because that’s the first year everyone is currently still alive.

Chris James 2 posted:If streaming ever had a chance (I don't believe it did, and this era is going down in flames like it deserves) it was definitely not helped by them mishandling it at every turn. Doing it intentionally wouldn't have hosed it up as bad as it's been hosed up at this point, and it's holding on by threads So what is the future?

I stopped watching Wrestling around the time Peacemaker and Drax showed up so I know them primarily from that. Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul are why my son wanted to start watching wrestling because of the go big show and YouTube. Aside from that, I knew Edge from WWE but I really enjoyed him on Haven too. FROM AEW, doesn’t…everyone know sting and Jericho?

Cody Rhodes gimmick reminds me of what would happen if Livejournal became sentient. He’s like the zaurg of wrestling. American nightmare? More like American Whiner!

maruhkati posted:Wrestling fandom is a large niche, but it remains a niche because most of the people outside of it aren't even curious. Prior to getting back into wrestling after a 20 year hiatus, I would have said Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Edge, and Rhonda Rousey from Wwe AEW I knew Jarrett, Matt Hardy, Jericho and Sting. That’s not to say I didn’t know a lot more but I legitimately thought Rey had retired and Jeff hardy was dead.

Ok I went to the MOTY thread. I’ll still stick by my claim that the Gunther match was great - when I’ve only watched WWE since picking wrestling up again, and even then I didn’t watch that much. My only question for you all is…is Masato Tanaka immortal ?

This mean they’re just going to get rid of positions that are duplicated - lots of middle managers in Payroll, A/r, a/P, legal, HR, finance…and other things that cost money but don’t bring money in. A lot of these people have seen the writing on the wall and are probably interviewing. This is what happens in mergers. Pillowpants fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Sep 15, 2023 |
