Here's the thing. The Young Bucks and Cody and Hangman Page aren't the draw people thing they are. They are an indy draw. That can translate to a 10K seat show when it's billed as the Super Bowl of indy wrestling and has talent from a bunch of organizations. But when you take away NJPW...and...

Man, I don't want to shoot down other people's opinions, but you've got it dead wrong. 1. Sure. You could probably clean up the roster a bit. That makes sense. 2. I don't think you can tie the merchandise to the person immediately. I don't think The Ringmaster or Rocky Maivia was moving too...

No. And that's not an opinion. It's a fact. First of all, they signed a billion dollar deal with FOX. So Smackdown isn't doing anywhere for at least 5 years. That alone pretty much answers your question. But, they also have a ton of wrestlers and a ton of space to fill on the WWE Network. And...

First of all, let's remember that Africa is a continent and not a country. WWE does most shows in the US. They don't do shows in Haiti or Panama or Jamaica or Barbados. They do a handful of shows in Canada, in major cities, that get US programming and are primarily English speaking. Do they even...

I see what you are asking, but I don't think you really mean "cool." I think you mean "mainstream." I don't know, but I would guess it's a different beast not. Years ago when it switched to the attitude era, it was coming off the era of wrestlers being plumbers and mounties and prison guards. In...

Let's not pretend that the Piper stuff isn't there. She's called Rowdy Ronda. She wears his jacket. Her merch and logo are in the style of Piper. The influence is there. But that's what it is. An influence. Similar to Punk and the 3 Star trucks and occasional elbow drop for Randy Savage. Other...

Yes, the story that I heard was that Marvel had a no wrestlers policy. Who knows if that's true. As for The Rock, I don't think he's considered a wrestler anymore, same as Batista. But also, I highly doubt that Marvel makes casting decisions if someone calls them and asks to be in a movie...

I think a better question would have been "What is HHH hadn't been around for 10 years." First, Thor would have flopped. HHH would have ruined Thor. He is not a "good" actor. I also heard that WWE had a "no wrestlers" policy (that Batista had to fight against to get his role). Who knows if...

He has zero leverage. Maybe there was leverage when WWE rights were negotiated, and maybe that included something about the XFL, but no network cares about the XFL. The WWE has a history of failed programs outside of the WWE including the XFL. NFL fans likely aren't going to move to the XFL...

Is it a "snub"? I guess you can view it that way. But if they could have someone beat that record, why wouldn't they? On the one hand, you have a guy who is now the longest reigning champion in WWE of the past 30 years or whatever, who will inevitably be dethroned by someone. Probably Roman...

I'm guessing that USA could just air reruns of Suits and probably get the same amount of ratings though, and it would save them money. Spike also heavily subsidized TNA at times. I can't imagine that WWE would be too happy with USA airing another wrestling company. And, if they ended up...

Impact doesn't draw. Not on Spike. Not on Pop. Why would a larger network want to bring them in. They know that wrestling isn't wrestling. You don't replace WWE with "wrestling" in 2018. I just don't think it would help them.

No. Because he's not the leader. THe original poster seems to be talking storyline leader. If that's the case, it's Brock Lesnar. He's the champion. He's the guy they make a big deal about. He's the guy people know from UFC. He's the guy also in the main events, but he's the guy who Roman...

Something To Wrestle With is consistently fun and a great way to look at stuff in the past. I've heard of Cornette's podcast but never listened to it. Enough people here seem to like it, so I'll try it. Edge and Christians should be good, but it's just not great to me. Russo's is terrible...

I'm sorry you feel that way Mrs. Ryder. It's simple to see how you are wrong though. 1) Past. Undertakers has history, nostalgia, and loyalty on his side. 2) Present. Fans are still interested in Taker, despite god awful matches. They are not interested in Ryder, which brings us to 3. 3)...
