RonL21 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 For the past few months I just recently started watching Wrestling a little again...Its different I must Say...The WWE now is like WCW in 2000...I stopped watching it after they split up the roster...the whole Raw V. Smackdown is kinda odd.....I was really into it during the attitude era. But the Rock liked acting..Stone Cold got bangged up and it got boring...AOL was the worst thing to happin I think...No competion...No one to keep Vince on his toes...When WCW was on vince's ass..I remember watching matches without commercials...Kane fought people Ive heard of before....More talented wrestlers....For WWE to get back to the way it was in say 98-2001....Merge the brands again...DX...Release the dead weight....get stone cold and the rock to show up at least 4 times a year...Bill Gates or somebody to buy TNA to give them some money so they compete and actually lure wrestlers(Learn from Bischoffs Mistakes)..Oh yeah..Please stop using Eddie Guererro as a story line...You didnt do it with Pillman or Owen...Dont do it now..

RonL21 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 I hate to say it....But if the WWE gets rid of some of the minor talent...It may have to go Nitro and do 3 hour shows on Monday NIghts...That way you can squeeze in some cruiserweight action with the occasional womens match...

Wrestling is over exposed as it is, adding another hour of Prime time wrestling wouldn't help at all, especially since they wouldn't get any ad revenue.

Celtic Jobber 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 You like ellipses ...What's an ellipse?... ...But seriously, Ron has a few good points. WWE does need to merge the rosters, they do need competition to keep them on their toes (at present, TNA isn't competition), and they do need to establish more superstars. They don't however, need to bring The Rock or Stone Cold back alot. The Rock prefers movies and Stone Cold is old and repetitive. And Bill Gates + pro wrestling = the apocalypse.

Thanks...I was using Bill Gates as an Example though...Well....Bill Gates did want to get into the Video game industry...We know how that turned out....

They wouldnt have to if they would let some other people move up in the ranks...Edge has been on the midcard the whole time he's been in the wwe...Does Triple H really need to main event every week...I remember the old days when wrestlers use to lose at pay per views and had to "work" their way back up...So sad..

Just because they're making money doesn't mean they're putting out a good product. It just means we're all tools who pay to watch their drivel b/c we're trained.

Because this isn't the monday night wars? Nor were Raw and Nitro ever pulling in 10 million A PIECE a week, especially not every night. sometimes Raw and Nitro might combine for a 10.0 rating but that doesn't equal 10 million people, especially since there was a big overlap in viewership. More television is not going to help the WWE at all when they can't write properly for the tv they already have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BruiserKC 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 The profit thing is the main reason Vince has no desire to change the way the product is going right now...he has no obligation to unless his profits start going down the toilet. I'm one of many to blame I'm sure...I still watch in spite of the fact the split was a horrible decision and knew that WCW-ECW wrestlers were going to get buried like crazy. I accept this as I'm a wrestling fan and it's in my blood. No matter what I'm still going to watch. Sad but true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buffybeast 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 As long as Vince is making money and has no real competition, he will produce whatever he sees fit. I haven't purchased a WWE ppv in more than two years because I don't particularly care for the current product. I am apparently alone as the company still sells ppvs out the ass, especially in the international market. If you don't like the current product, don't go to a live event, do buy merch, don't buy ppvs. Vince will eventually get the message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
