Raw 3/06/17: The Gift of Jackhammer

[BaconBits]

Can attest to this personally.

So could I. Wasn't until I was about 35 that i actually felt like I had money. Wifey was the same.

 

[shafe_41]

I can't imagine this being a full match. I don't see Joe beating Jericho clean.

 

[klunderbunker]

Old people have money. Young people do not.

Young people have $10, which is all you need to watch Wrestlemania these days.

 

[Navi]

The crushing student debt they come out of college with doesn't leave a lot of expendable cash.

I don't know about the States but here in Canada if you maintain a certain average you don't pay all of the student loans back. It's only about 35% that you pay back, they forgive the rest. My husband and I paid for my son's education so he wouldn't have debt when he graduated, and so did a lot of his friends parents. It's not as bad as it seems and it depends how long you stay in university and if you live at home or on campus.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Shaq vs. Big Show would make this a smark's nightmare. Lesnar/Goldberg, Reigns/Undertaker, Shaq/Big Show, Rollins/HHH more than likely in a half-ass match.

It ain't like that here, and those 60k jobs aren't growing on trees here either.

That's why 205 Live and NXT are geared to them. Wrestlemania still gets buyrates and has to sell an insane amount of very expensive seats.

 

[shafe_41]

Countout loss. Suitable ending to that. Made the point. Still protects Jericho for a title match against Owens. Joe looks strong. Jericho with the last offense.

 

[shafe_41]

I wonder what the chances actually are of Taker being in a Triple Threat match against Roman and Braun? Keeps a little bit of the pressure off Taker. Still kinda protects the Mania W-L record in a sense.

I could see it. They could also work this angle if Taker is too beat up to wrestle at all.

So because old people have money, we should cater Wrestlemania only to them instead of catering to a broader audience, which could broaden the audience? That doesn't make sense. Like, at all. Think of it like this:

Adult goes to Wrestlemania:

1 ticket
2 beers
1 popcorn

Adult takes child to Wrestlemania because it's geared towards them:

2 tickets
2 beers
1 Coke
2 popcorns
2 shirts
1 hat

But nah, let's go with the old guys because men in their 40s who remember the good old days of the Monday Night Wars are going to be lining up at the merchandise stands for a show they watch once a year.

Or Braun just eats Undertaker and takes over his gimmick.

It was geared to the kids like 5 years ago. They posted record revenues last year.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

What a voice on Braun. That is terrifyingly awesome.

 

[klunderbunker]

Biggest pay per view of all time: Wrestlemania XXVIII. Adult generation vs. kid generation.

Also I'm sure last year having those five extra PPVs had a bit to do with the record numbers.

 

[Wildcat66]

Braun vs Taker?

I...I actually want this match.

 

[Navi]

So it's Braun and Taker now at Mania. I'm confused.

 

[shafe_41]

That's what I'm thinking. After all this, you can NOT relegate Braun to the Andre Battle Royal.

 

[shafe_41]

Im guessing Triple Threat

 

[The Life Of Pablo Ren]

So it's Braun and Taker now at Mania. I'm confused.

Maybe a triple threat cuz Undertaker can't do a full one on one.

 

[klunderbunker]

Braun has some very skinny legs for a guy with that big of an upper body.

The Rock headlined 28. What were you saying again?

 

[Navi]

It ain't like that here, and those 60k jobs aren't growing on trees here either.

A lot of big firms here hire straight out of university so the kids have the jobs as soon as they graduate. The jobs are there, having connections and the right education will get you one.

Del Rio did as well, so does Mahal. They aren't as big as Strowman but very oddly shaped.

 

[Blue Chipper]

I'd rather have Braun not lose last night and get Braun/Taker. It makes more sense to me.
