No one gave Vince the heads up on Shane's birthday this year so he's positive he's got someone who knows what the under 50 want.

A guy at work had a baby this year and we jokingly bought him an xfl onesie. I just remembered the baby was born after the xfl season ended and by that point was wearing a vintage defunct collectors item no one would ever want.

ChrisBTY posted:I always ask this question but have to ask it again? Why would Vince even bother caring about the ratings. He can probably spend 3 hours making GBS threads into a box still pull ratings higher than AEW's and he'll likely be either dead or senile (sure his mother is apparently immortal but his mother probably hasn't gone as hard on life as Vince has). Come 2024 can't he just say 'Hey USA, where's our dumptruck of money? You'll take our .9 and you'll like it!" as investors continue to launch money out of a canon at his stock? Why does any content man continue to toil? What dark spirit haunts the souls of men who could want for nothing yet still feel that they must take? He feels hunger on a full stomach and can only consume and destroy.

They won't even commit to the idea that's a serial killer or whatever, he's just a "tortured artist". They're the stupidest loving company because they put all these weird constraints on themselves about the content of the show and then constantly try to do things that don't fit in those rules they made up.

Wrestling sometime's asks me to imagine that one of the men in the ring is a ghost with magical powers. I think I can suspend disbelief long enough to imagine a man and a woman at the peak of physical fitness are competitive equals in a sport. You just need to book the match like that and most people don't and instead book in a way that leans on societal misogyny. I especially don't want WWE booking it because they're a bunch of backwards idiots. Edit: hell, wrestling doesn't have weight classes and a lot of man vs. man matchups would be an absolute murder in real life in a real combat sport because of that and no one gets that upset about the physical disadvantage.

ICR posted:The WWE women’s division is above and beyond any other programming and to me, and again this is just me, it’s a large factor in what keeps fans watching weekly. I do think without it, you would see a massive drop. The women's division is awful, WWE fucks around with it and under values it all the time, the stories are often insulting and offensive, but they're still somehow the best women's division out of the wrestling people watch. (no one watches impact)

Eat My Fuc posted:NXT really just shouldn't exist. It's not developing anyone, it's keeping TV ready people off the big show for petty reasons and nothing that happens there matters. At least main roster WWE is an end point for a career, NXT is limbo. It's like if the NBA had sent Zion to arena basketball leagues when they hire new talented people. The women are the only reason I watch, and they are way more likely to be called up or at least interact with stars than the men there who are just hoarded spinning their wheels. Yeah, I agree with a lot of this. NXT as an actual developmental is fun because you get to see people grow up and get better. It's low stakes but cool and in theory gives you the payoff of people making it to the big show, even if WWE didn't always stick that landing. NXT as PWG but 5 years later was fun because it was different from the main roster and good wrestling. Sure it was more Paul's indie action figure collection but it was really good wrestling. The current incarnation of NXT however really can't justify its existence. It's not developmental. No one goes from NXT to a good main roster spot. They keep muddying the roster between the 3 shows. It's really just turning into a 3rd show that has a slightly different group of wrestlers and who cares. NXT has always had warts but it's lost everything that made it interesting, now it's just warts.

Eat My Fuc posted:Not at all. If they don't want to work at all they shouldn't and if anyone is compelling them to gently caress that. I just think the idea of this traumatic experience keeping them from what (from my understanding) they dreamed of doing and are great at, is also very tragic and I hope they're okay and come back whenever they can/want to. That makes sense though I'll say the flip side is that sometimes the right thing can be telling someone to go take a couple weeks off even if they don't want to. It's also not healthy to let people throw themselves into their work to avoid picking up the pieces. But I don't actually know anyone involved so who knows that he motives are here.

Nothing looks less confident than a fat guy with a shirt on when it's acceptable to have your shirt off. I'm not expert but not confident seems like a bad look for a wrestler.
