People say NXT is good simply because all it is is high spots. High spots are not good. High spots are the reason why wrestling has died. NXT isn't the modern day 1990's ECW its fanboys claim it is. Its actually a place for guys who aren't good enough to become stars in wrestling to pretend they are actually stars that were held back by backstage politics. You also need to understand NXT isn't a separate company and its owned by Vince McMahon. Yes marks you have been worked by senile Vince into thinking its an independent company.

On the one hand, yes it was entertaining, but on the other hand when your wrestler is so bad at actually wrestling that you have to come up with convoluted gimmicks to prevent her from even doing a match, you should just cut your losses. Like, this company puts Tamina Snuka and Lacey Evans in the ring on national TV, they do not have high standards, and yet they wouldn't let her get in the ring.

Based on all those Kendrick training videos, she was at least more athletic and coordinated than Tamina.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The Montreal Screwjob was a work

I used to think it was real so I guess it worked me well. But think about how open they are with it, how often it's been mentioned in story lines. It made the evil Vince character that can feud with Stone Cold. It makes Brett Hart even more loved by the fans. Like a good babyface he only lost since the other guy cheated him. Now the smart fans see he lost in a way that still shows the whole thing as fantasy. It's what an Attitude Era WWE needs. They are copying ECW and half way admitting what it is while still making it a show. Vince hated ECW yet he could not deny that approach got fans to watch.

If it was real the WWE would have never shown the clip again. How often do you hear about Wendi Richter? Also, Brett came back to the WWE. So he either was not happy with being getting all the respect in the world showing up an indy show for less pay than Vince can afford or he has no morals. He does not need money. I've heard he was not a party guy who blew it on drugs. He's a smart family man who was a top guy. He does not need the WWE to say goodbye to fans or be loved. He came back to close the story line when the time was right.


Lots of wrestlers agree with me too.

The right time for Bret to close the storyline was 2009? By hugging Shawn Michaels and having the most uncomfortable match ever with Vince?

Oh reddit.

quote:

I recently read this article from 4 years ago http://sfppr.org/2015/11/culture-clash-why-liberals-hate-pro-wrestling/ many of the reasons they give as to why liberals hate wrestling, hard lined good vs. evil rather than moral relativism, Men being men, rather than the female evolution, seems to be things that Vince et. al. have been trying to "improve" over these last 4 years. Ratings have gone down the shitter at a higher rate that the rest of TV's ratings have also gone down the shiter.



Is this attempt at reaching the left the reason why we are all left out now?

That article they linked is...well its a thing. Example paragraphs:

quote:

Liberal elites dismiss pro wrestling and ignore it as an embarrassment not because it is phony, but it validates things they do not like. For starters, pro wrestling is proudly masculine. It features enormous men with giant, well-sculpted physiques crushing (or seemingly so) other men of like proportions. Here, men are men, without apology. The contrast between the stars of pro wrestling and top male actors and pop singers is striking, as Hollywood increasingly chases femininity as an industry standard for males.

To such condescending liberal palates, the mild violence featured in professional wrestling likewise does not appeal. Liberals are naturally averse to all violence outside the womb. Yet, the violence in these orchestrated matches is quite modest and controlled, not resulting in deaths or the horrific injuries that naturally and inevitably occur in many unscripted athletic competitions.

Yeah. I remember a survey or something being released in 2015 that showed that WWE's audience leans to the left.

Yeah, the wrestling audience skews left because when it comes down to it wrestling is a power fantasy and power fantasy does well with marginalized groups. Even for those right wing fans they're interpreting it as a power fantasy, just the one they want which sounds really gay and horny. (wrestling is really gay and horny)

john "I gently caress fans too much to have a girlfriend" cena? lol you're joking right? up until cena was in the main event and even a little while after cena would gently caress anything that moved. after he took (mickie?) from kenny dykstra then he stopped loving fans and hosed wrestlers till he married one.

Browsing the new submissions of reddit is a treasure trove for this thread.

Some of ya'll need to learn your history before you speak. Vince bought out a lot of territories including their film libaries but a lot of territories was already on the verge of going out of business.... He was the first to get on national tv because he could afford the time slots and he had the investors to do so.... Just because they don't have any competition that canbe competitive, and they have the power to expand Nxt in other continents, and they are a the a global powerhouse name.... That does not mean they are a MONOPOLY... What do y'all expect their family is worth at least 3 billion together and they are willing to risk it all investing their last into wrestling... They been doing this since the 40s so do you think they are going to stop now... No matter what y'all say they are not a MONOPOLY
