I can't wish that fate on anyone.

MassRafTer posted:If it hadn't been that bad they probably wouldn't have been cancelled off Turner. Something that gets forgotten is the Fusient sale was announced in January, their financing fell apart a week or two later when an investor saw the books and they had to scramble from there. So for 8 weeks WCW is losing 500K per week as they wait for this sale, the only thing keeping them from just offloading the thing to Vince is the TV. So as much as Kellner didn't like wrestling, there were things happening that made it likely Bischoff wouldn't have all the time in the world to get a new deal anyway. That makes sense and relates to stuff you've said before about WWF not being in as bad of shape as most people think in 1996 thanks to Shawn Michaels pulling house show crowds despite the ratings. If WCW was ONLY about the ratings it's only worth it to Turner even if the house shows aren't pulling. Once the fall starts... well I guess that's how we ended up here. Also yeah totally forgot it was January, I thought it was late February-ish not like it would have mattered in those circumstances Big Coffin Hunter fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Mar 11, 2018 |

Aphrodite posted:Asuka has only fought like one woman on Smackdown’s roster, so there’s a lot more new matchups there. I'm still grumpy that in I think Asuka's last match for NXT, Becky was in the front row and Asuka made a point of doing the Disarmer on Ember Moon while taunting Becky. I was sure it was going to lead to Becky vs Asuka over on Smackdown and that would have been so loving cool.

I have no idea who I want to have beat Asuka (apart from Ronda if she's half decent at wrestling), Asuka is just so great I want her wrestling and beating all these foolish women who are simply not ready.

VJeff posted:People say that if WCW still existed, it'd compete with WWE and force them to be better but tbh I feel like they'd just be two bad stagnant companies getting fat on guaranteed TV money and never forced to do anything interesting. Ultimately, one company tries to do something that the fans don't like, they tune into the other company, and then the first company adjusts and does what the fan wants.

I think last year a crossdressing Tyler Breeze tried to get into the women's title match just to get to go to wrestlemania so daniel bryan threw him and fandango in the armbar just to make them happy. I'm hearing Cesaro and Sheamus might be fighting a brand new tag team since they beat every current one. My guess is Braun + Big Show.

I think Big Show's last contract has ended and he choose not to re-sign, making him effectively retired.

Going out on your back strongly putting over a new person like he did with Braun is how everyone should go out, but how nobody in WWE goes out, which is why I expect him back on the post-Mania Raw to challenge Reigns

I'm glad Show got the big match with Strowman so his last big act wasn't teaming with Enzo in an astonishingly pointless feud that led to a probably career killing injury for Cassidy and Enzo getting shipped off to 205 and the federal shark cage.

It would be cool if WWE started trying to do custom staging for all the PPVs again rather than just doing it for the big ones. It really is deflating when you are watching the same card from the past four weeks of Raw/SD and the entrance platform also just looks like the same old poo poo.

If they arent gonna do this at least try to do something with a little bit of pyro for the opening of the loving ppv. It's not that hard to set off a few fireworks.

They Ought to go back to doing that thing where a big ugly thing is setup facing the hard cam that shoots off sparklers spelling out 3 letters while a wrestler poses in the ring in front of it. I believe the cost was $70 a pop
