Hako posted:Because the general population even knows the "indies" exist. You pure wraassstlin folk are a minority. Forget the indies, fewer people watch wrestling now than watched before the WWF went national. More people were willing to watch territorial wrestling than anything that has aired in the US for years and years.

I guess I’m glad baseball isn’t the only thing you know nothing about For your next subject you clearly know nothing about, try the soccer subforum instead of the football one, because I actually read the football one

I get everyone wants to be on the right side of history, but guess what Wrestling is loving boring now and the ratings reflect that, you can have a moonsault royal rumble and its still not going to bring ratings.

Hako posted:Because the general population even knows the "indies" exist. You pure wraassstlin folk are a minority. There are multiple indies able to draw large crowds while WWE is tarping off chunks of seats at TV tapings. All In was an independently funded event that drew 10,000 people. The main event was a 6 man tag with high flyers. Ring of Honor have been able to get shows at MSG. Northeast Wrestling regularly draws large crowds with main events featuring people like Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. The pure wrasslin' folk are the only ones left watching WWE, because of fandom of indvidual wrestlers and an overall love of wrestling, like I mentioned. The hardcores are the people keeping WWE from losing money on the Network. The people looking for zaniness hosed off to MMA some time ago. Hako posted:I get everyone wants to be on the right side of history, but guess what Wrestling is loving boring now and the ratings reflect that, you can have a moonsault royal rumble and its still not going to bring ratings. The most lucrative time in wrestling history (late 90's) had lots of good wrestling. Both WCW and WWE knew you had to offer not just memorable characters and stories but great wrestlers. That's why people like Ric Flair, Steve Austin and Eddie Guerrero became popular, they were interesting in the ring AND out. It's why Kenny Omega is the most popular gaijin in Japan of the decade, it's a universal thing. This isn't about being on the right side of history for me. There are so many ways I can choose to spend my free time, and I don't want to have my intelligence insulted by putting on storylines that would only appeal to the type of 12 year old who ends up torturing animals. If I'm watching wrestling I want it to be good. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Dec 6, 2018 |

Comedy and light hearted stuff has a place in wrestling but WWE sucks at it. They're just not funny or fun. gently caress the idea that any of the racist or sexist stuff should come back. Like, All In had both pure wrasslin matches and also had Joey Ryan and dick druids. All types of wrestling can draw, WWE just sucks at all of them.

There's like a million different exciting things you can do that don't involve being insulting people for weight, being a homophobe or a transphobe, making fun of employees being sick but hey if that's exciting TV for you than the WWE is the company for you cause right now they're doing Saudi propaganda and using one of their employees Cancer illness to build heat

Reid never even worked there. At least all those other people consented to being WWE pawns in some form when they were exploited. Reid gets my vote.

Less long term awful, but so tasteless they scrubbed it from the record immediately. Also awful because the audience didn't understand it, delivery was bad, wasn't built up etc. It was the first time in forever women main evented RAW and it was for garbage controversy.

I'd forgive it if it immediately jumped to a brawl and Charlotte tried to put Paige's eye out but instead she just stood there and took it like a weak goof. You say poo poo about dead family members, fights happen, that's how it works.

What about that time when Vince was going to be forced to face the Undertaker in a Buried Alive match and he went on this loving insane promo where he ordered Paul Heyman to 1) have the Undertaker's children kidnapped, 2) have terrorists blow up the Undertaker's house and 3) have a biker gang rape the Undertaker's wife while Undertaker is forced to watch.

It's pretty insane/hilarious that you could fill out a 64-field bracket of the worst things WWE has ever done, leave out enough worthy contenders to run a consolation bracket if you want, and still be left with notable snubs.
