Hmmmm
Ali seems like he could be the next undersized big thing...he could get some run on Smackdown. Matter of fact alot of those 205 guys (Ali, Cedric, the juggernaut) lack the height but everything else to excel on smackdown. Shit Finn should be on smackdown.
the only issue too much talent and not enough time. Shit when the last almas and Vega been on TV together? That duo is the truth.

wow she just buried Graves with that tweet. Graves is average on commentary like she said Heenan-lite. I hate they have him on both Raw and Smackdown.
FOX wants a more sports themed product. As we know with the Saudi incident will bend over backwards for money. I think things can only get better as Vince gets more involved in the XFL launch.
Posted that on the last page.
Wow ,I thought she got implants
They moving to Fox Sports Network or broadcast Fox channel?
FOX main network
same network as football
network tv is always a shitshow on Fridays so FOX is hoping that WWE can bring them a reliable weekly number on fridays without having to invest in original programming and 'live' tv like sports or award shows seem to hold up well against piracy, streaming and other tv options
They trying to put Apollo on the #metoo list

Fridays..? Gordon Ramsay going to be mad as hell

Simple solution bring the attitude era back. Fuck this P.G. shit
Letting the wrestlers bleed and curse isn't going to make this shit any better.
Scripted promos are wack no matter if the wrestlers are calling each other geeks or assholes in them
I disagree look at how over Becky has become since she bleed and lash kicker. Drop the l
You got Braun smashing dudes through the titantron or anything jokers and flipping vehicles and not a scratch. Back in the day a couple of Dusty elbows and Flair was leaking.
You forgot nip slips and crotch shots, fireballs hardcore the shit you see now is no different than the shit you see at the local rec center just brighter lights
WWE may allow wrestlers to drift into TV-14 territory by making big deal of Becky taking a stiff shot and bleeding hardway and allowing the wrestlers to freestyle on social media but WWE is not about lose sponsorship money and any good will they've built up in the past decade or so after Benoit to go fully back to the Attitude era, which was very much a product of that time period.
Right. It's more than just the language. The whole visual presentation needs an overhaul. It's too easy to associate what you are watching with the worst, in terms of angles and personalities, of what you've seen. People can turn on Raw and remember when the wrestler who was on screen was being booked like complete shit whether they are smart to it or a casual viewer.
The way the have them talk use words and phrases you only hear in homogenized pro wrestling and weak attempts interject pop culture references ring very hollow. And the fact that they refuse accept that they have intelligent viewers and not idiots makes them think they aren't the problem. One of the things about living in a bubble is that you only listen to people that cater to you or know how to manipulate your personality to get what they want. That's been the story of that company. The day the company truly turns it around is when you can turn on Raw and feel like, "God damn. They finally got the picture." And that has to last more than a promo likes Seth's or just a couple of episodes.
WWE needs better character development, writing and booking. Pretty much everything.
Simply going back to goofy ass Attitude Era storylines is not enough because a lot of those storylines were bullshit. A lot of that shit wouldn't fly in this social media age.

The current business model is in decline. Either they will have to get better or someone will take their place. It is funny how MMA is using the pro wrestling formula of the kayfabe era and making it work.
Vince Mcmahon and WWE have been such a FLOP since 2007 imo. They have not created any real stars since Batista and John Cena and even those two were subpar in comparison to the stars of yesteryear. In fact, Vince Mcmahon stated in 2005 (eerrr WWE) Cena and Batista paled in comparison to the 15 years prior.
It's been downhill ever since Vince bought out WCW and Austin turned heel. There have been some glimpses of its former glory with feuds like Rock vs Hogan (which they almost botched) and so on, but they no longer know how to do their magic as they once did.
Once they started to force things on people you knew they no longer had the Midas touch to make stars. I remember Austin was complaining way back in 2001 when he returned that there were too many damn Hollywood writers. Kreski was their best writer that gave good angles in 2000(besides that stupid "I did it for the Rock" lol).
Stephanie and HHH imo have been a failure in comparison to the people that were in their positions before like Jim Ross, Patterson, and I can't remember that guy that was around Vince in the 80's. He helped to craft some gems.
Then on top of that some these new wrestlers are charisma vacuums and severely lack star power. Becky is the most interesting star they have who actually comes off like a star. Ronda Rousey is decent for a name, but HHH and Vince have been pretty bad at making new stars.
They still rely on Brock Lesnar who they made a star way back in 2002-3. WWE has become WCW.

I remeber that, that was towards the end for Andre, they did it so they could keep him on the cards, but he didn't have to do too much or over exert himself.
