Does Anyone Want To See Vince McMahon Fail At Something To Do With Wrestling?

[dwith]

Vince & WWE just took out a 200 million dollar loan for this new WWE channel... I personally would love to see the channel fail, and Vince actually lose his ass for once, and knock him down a step. Making a WWE channel I think is not needed for any wrestling organization. That's why you have the internet, and probably 80 % of the things that will be on that channel you can find for free on you tube and other sites. Vince in my opinion needs to feel a loss in the wrestling world, and let him know that he is not invincible when it comes to the wrestling world. He in my opinion has/ is also damaging the wrestling landscape with all of his corporate WWE crap, and taking away legacies of alot of great wrestling athlete's from past and future..Not allowed to say the word "wrestling" to running wrestling show's like soap opera's with former soap opera writers.

Their have been alot of employee wrestler's & behind the scene employee's that are quitting WWE, and I have a feeling they all feel the same way about the current, and future product that WWE is executing.

I am not a WWE hater. Don't get me wrong, I just think that Vince needs to substain a huge loss somewhere in the wrestling world to wake him up, and let him realize that he doen't have the only wrestling related product on the planet, and that people/fans are not always going to worship WWE when they continue to feed fan's crap, they can't even call "wrestling" anymore.

Right now I feel VINCE is so powerful with CORPORATION & his loyal fan's that watch regardless if the product is shit or not, that he could over the long term destroy the wrestling culture that we know today.

Does anyone else feel that VINCE McMahon need's to be taken down a notch from his wrestling reign for one reason or another?

 

[hollowpoint]

He's already failed at something before. Does the XFL ring a bell? Sure we can find most of the shows on Youtube and other internet sources, but I don't see this channel and something that is that bad. I hope the channel is successful. that's one less thing I have to do on the internet.

[Making a WWE channel I think is not needed for any wrestling organization.

Not when they don't own 85% of every wrestling footage from all the U.S. wrestling organizations and territories. But WWE does own it, which is why they have gone for this Network.

Not allowed to say the word "wrestling" to running wrestling show's like soap opera's with former soap opera writers.

We've heard "wrestling" many times these last few months. Wrestling has always had a Soap Opera element, especially during the "Attitude Era" which everyone praises.

I am not a WWE hater. Don't get me wrong, I just think that Vince needs to substain a huge loss somewhere in the wrestling world to wake him up, and let him realize that he doen't have the only wrestling related product on the planet, and that people/fans are not always going to worship WWE when they continue to feed fan's crap, they can't even call "wrestling" anymore.

Wanting the worlds biggest wrestling promotion, and the only wrestling promotion in the US that is relevant to some degree to fail isn't hating on it? That's like saying you want the NFL to fail.

his loyal fan's that watch regardless if the product is shit or not, that he could over the long term destroy the wrestling culture that we know today.

I have a feeling you still watch it. Destroy "wrestling culture"? What does that even mean? He's already destroyed what Wrestling was known as when he started his epic expansion in the 80s and took over the world.

 

[LiamRocky85]

Massive risk if you ask me, but in terms of taking risks its not the first he's taken and even if it does go tits up he'l still have enough money to fill his scrooge McDuck style money pool in conneticut!The way i see it working is on a level of people like myself who are big fans but cant always catch the shows, being able to watch on days off from work and when there is literally nothing else on!!!

 

[WWE Ice Cream Bar]

@dwith: You have to be an absolute Grade A+ piece of Sh*t to wish bad upon someone who really has done nothing personal to you.

If Vince looses money and WWE goes down, lots of hard working people go down with it, people with families.

That is why no matter how much Tna sucks storyline wise, you would never want them to close down and see people loose their jobs in times like these.

Anybody who endorses your view's is a Piece of Sh*t as well.

You claim you're not a hater but you want him to take a loss of 200 million that would likely cripple the WWE? It wouldn't just be the 200 million, this would send the shareholders into full on panic mode. Why would you wish this on a company or a person that you don't hate? And let's forget Vince, people would lose their jobs. And do you think for one second that Vince would take a chance on unproven talent any time soon? This is a dumb thing to hope for from top to bottom if you consider yourself a wrestling fan.

 

[thesubverse]

I love wrestling fans who think they know better than the people who actually work in the business. It's adorable.

In all seriousness, I've never been able to understand people who claim to be fans of something (anything, not just wreslting) and yet want it to fail.

 

[dwith]

I really don't hate WWE or VINCE at all, but let's face it, Vince wants to control everything that has to do with wrestling, and I don't think buying ECW and WCW is the end for him. I think WWE will continue to buy or put any other wrestling company out of commision. Then where will wrestling fan's be?? I just want Vince to fail at something to do with wrestling (NOT XFL, THATS FOOTBALL) JUST SO HE KNOW'S THAT THE WORLD OF WRESTLINGDOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND HIM, AND WWE. No other company will grow large enough to even be close to equal to him if he throw's his money and weight around, and keep's conotrol of the wrestling product. That's all I am saying.

 

[Foshinzo]

Why would you want to see Vince fail at anything to do with wrestling? Whether you like him or not, Vince made the wrestling industry relevant and popular. I'm sorry to say that without Vince, most of us probably wouldn't be wrestling fans, or at least as avid fans as we are, today. VKM is the God of wrestling; the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, and we kind of hate him for that. How many times has he pushed stars that we didn't really want to see, or ignored and even fired stars that we loved? The man isn't perfect, that's for sure. He's a business and marketing genius, but not a wrestling genius. He's given us enormous spectacles like the annual Wrestlemania shows, but he's also angered us by not always perfecting the art. Despite his imperfections, wrestling would be nowhere without him, so why would you want to see him fail?

Also, I like the WWE network. I don't like that I'm going to have to call my cable provider and add it to my bill, but I think it's pretty cool. I'd like to see it stick around, and maybe I could catch Superstars or something on that (my Internet is too crappy to adequately play the shows on my computer,). Again, so long as they don't start adding mandatory crap to it like original programming that feeds into the other shows, it'll work.

 

[Jeritron5000]

I think this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read here. Leaps and bounds beyond anything that evokes the "Well if you don't like it then don't watch" cliche. I don't hate my father, I just wish he would insanely screw up his hugely successful business NOW so maybe down the line he'll still be taking me out for steak. What are you talking about? I hate to repeat everyone else but the wrestling culture as we know it today is because of Vince McMahon. Man, I know I'm disenchanted with a lot of the current product but I would hate to see what goes on in your head while you're watching WWE programming.

 

[ECW Sandman]

dwith are you fucking stupid or something no one wants to see anyone fail at anything, what if someone said to you '' Well you love your job but I really hope you fail at it because you work so hard at what you are doing and what you want to do for a lot of people who really want to see what you have done over the past 30- 40 years '' How would that make you feel if someone said that to you I bet you would succeed harder and faster to get what you want done to prove the people wrong who said your going to fail, and no I do not want to see the network as a failed project of Vince McMahon A LOT of fans want this network to relive the glory days of Pro Wrestling.

 

[PunkNation26]

Vince McMahon is a delusional old man. Too bad him being "fired" as Chairman was only storyline. I don't know if I want him to fail at this channel, because to be honest, him succeeding at it doesn't affect me either way. The only thing I want is a change in the current product.

 

[DirtyJosé]

but let's face it, Vince wants to control everything that has to do with wrestling, and I don't think buying ECW and WCW is the end for him. I think WWE will continue to buy or put any other wrestling company out of commision. Then where will wrestling fan's be??

You're a fucking idiot. Seriously. I wanted to start this post any other way than just something like that right off the bat but I can't. There's just no other way of doing your post justice.

If Vince wanted to buy out everything "wrestling", don't you think he'd have bought out DG, Chikara, PWG, and ROH? Don't you think he'd have bought out the NWA in it's entirety? Don't you think he'd have bought up whatever the fuck those Juggalos call their little wrestling group? Oh wait, that's right; clearly you aren't actually thinking. You're reacting like a panicky little brat getting worked up about something you don't understand in the least. So, again, you're a fucking idiot.

Someone please close this thread.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

The fact that someone wants to see Vince McMahon take a bath with this $200 million loan is truly a sad and pathetic sign of just how terribly off the IWC is.

Honestly, why would anyone with even the slightest shred of decency want to see Vince McMahon fail and the WWE to be hurt? Think of the people who would lose their jobs, think of the people who own stock in WWE. Think of the damage that would be done to pro wrestling in general if WWE was to take a massive hit like this.

If someone is to the point where they hate WWE that much, then it's time to just quit watching the product. There's a big difference between not liking some stuff a wrestling company is putting on television and wanting to, for all intents and purposes, see it bite the dust out of little more than plain old fashioned spite.

Yea i agree, i mean i dont agree with everything that Vince does nor do i agree with everything with the WWE period. But i honestly wouldnt ever want Vince to fail or the WWE to be hurt. Vince might not run things as good anymore but i still think he does a good job, especially with what he has. And like Jack-Hammer says, if you or anyone honestly hates the WWE that much, then just quit watching the product.

I dont agree with you, but i guess i kinda see what you were trying to imply. No Vince isnt the best, Sure things could be and proly should be better. But if you want things to be better then you shouldnt be wanting Vince or The WWE to Fail and tank.. Think about it, it could be way worse.

I would rather have Vince and The WWE where its at right now, then to have Vince Russo, and TNA as the world and face of wrestling.. the golden years and the attitude era might not be there anymore but, Pro Wrestling in general is still "Pro Wrestling" because of Vince and the WWE. Be Thankful and dont wish bad shit on someone even if you dont like them bro

 

[prasad.rohan]

I don't think WWE Network is going to be a Mega Hit kind of stuff... It will start with a big hype and then go on the same line to that of WWE Films (Boring Movies there, boring matches @network)... Moreover I wont be surprised if the same match is being repeated for atleast 3-4 times a month... Rather in a couple of years they might fall short of content to be shown (considering WWE Network is going to be 24x7).

But indeed I dont want this to be a big failure resulting in its shut down. As its failure will result in firing a lot of on air and behind the scene employees which is anyday a bad thing for an individual.

And as far Vince McMahon failing something to do with wrestling... I will prefer TNA improves its standards somehow and beats WWE in ratings (Which at this point of time is impossible with CM Punk in its current role)... rather than a complete failure of a business unit.

 

[King_Kong_Brody]

First off I don't want WWE to fail because if they do TNA becomes a monopoly and their already complacent enough. Second the WWE channel means more wrestling on TV for what i would imagine would be an extra 10-15 bucks a month but you still get more wrestling on TV which is usually always a good thing for wrestling fans isn't it?

Third wanting WWE to fail is bad for the entire wrestling industry there the straw that stirs the drink everyone strives to comepete with them and that drives them to be better if WWE goes under or goes into debt that will likely hurt the drive in ALL wrestling promotions. You shouldn't wish hundreds of people out of jobs just because you feel Vince needs to be knocked down a peg. I personally wish Vince and the WWE channel all the success in the world and if my cable company carries it you bet I will be purchasing the channel

Vince has done plently of things that have failed. WWF New York, WWECW, Chris Benoit's world title push, most ppvs that aren't called Wrestlemania. But you have this strange fear of Vince owning wrestling...News flash, Vince does own wrestling.

That's nice. You want to see another human being fail. You want to see someone who has been successful fail. How pathetic must you be to find joy in another's misfortune.

Making a WWE channel I think is not needed for any wrestling organization. That's why you have the internet, and probably 80 % of the things that will be on that channel you can find for free on you tube and other sites. Vince in my opinion needs to feel a loss in the wrestling world, and let him know that he is not invincible when it comes to the wrestling world. He in my opinion has/ is also damaging the wrestling landscape with all of his corporate WWE crap, and taking away legacies of alot of great wrestling athlete's from past and future..Not allowed to say the word "wrestling" to running wrestling show's like soap opera's with former soap opera writers.

A wrestling channel may not be needed, but I bet that there will be a sufficient market for it. Especially if you can "order on demand" a match you have always wanted to see.

Sure you can watch it on Youtube, but you can watch most TV shows online, so then why buy a television set? You wouldn't use it, but there may be many who do.



Their have been alot of employee wrestler's & behind the scene employee's that are quitting WWE, and I have a feeling they all feel the same way about the current, and future product that WWE is executing.

There have been a lot of employees leaving because of retirements. Edge left, not because he didn't like the direction that WWE was going, but because his neck is stuffed. Undertaker will leave because he is barely mobile, and too many more matches will render him a cripple. Triple H is doing less because of his corporate responsibilities, Shawn retired because of injuries, and knowing how to go out on top. Most of the people who have left WWE have left because of injury, it was time to retire, being future-endeavoured, or another opportunity came up (such as the Rock doing movies). I don't think too many, especially of the top-liners, left because they didn't like the PG rating.


I am not a WWE hater.

Gee, you're doing a great impression of a hater then.

Don't get me wrong, I just think that Vince needs to substain a huge loss somewhere in the wrestling world to wake him up, and let him realize that he doesn't have the only wrestling related product on the planet, and that people/fans are not always going to worship WWE when they continue to feed fan's crap, they can't even call "wrestling" anymore.

Vince has had many losses in the past. He was losing the "Monday Night Wars" at one stage. He missed out on signing Sting for a match with the Undertaker, after also missing out on getting Brock Lesnar's signature for a match at Wrestlemania this year. He wasted millions trying to get his wife into the Senate. Not everything that has ever happened in WWE, or not happened is because of Vince. Vince missed out on having both Hulk Hogan v Ric Flair at WM8 (and see WCW get the match first), and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin v Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania (more than once), because one or both competitiors wouldn't ball. This is a few thousand extra buys Vince missed out on, because the superstars didn't want to do it. He hasn't had it all his own way.

As for not having the only wrestling-related product on the planet. He does have the only "long-term successful" wrestling product on the planet. WCW and ECW failed, not because of Vince, but because of their own failings. Vince just drove the final nail in the coffin of an already rotting corpse. If TNA aren't competitive, that's TNA's fault. It is up to them to compete, not for Vince to give them a sporting chance. If TNA, ROH, and others can't get the same coverage, it's their problem. Blaming WWE for other's failings, is like if other computer companies blamed Microsoft for being ahead of the competition.

Right now I feel VINCE is so powerful with CORPORATION & his loyal fan's that watch regardless if the product is shit or not, that he could over the long term destroy the wrestling culture that we know today.

You obviously think that the wrestling product is shit, or you wouldn't say that. Besides, Vince McMahon is the reason that wrestling is still around in the U.S.A. today. If it stayed with the territories, wrestling would have folded, due to people moving on and finding other things to do. If not for Vince McMahon, there would have been no Hulk Hogan, no Macho Man, no Andre The Giant, no "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, no Rock, no Undertaker. Vince McMahon is a double-edged sword. He brings the best and worst of everything to wrestling. Geniuses are like that. They have a lot of flaws, but their talent far outweighs it, so you can forgive it. Virtually every person in the wrestling industry, and even wrestling websites and fans, owe a thanks to Vince McMahon for making wrestling global, making it an event, and making it mainstream.

Now, I don't agree with everything he has ever done. He seems petty at times, don't plan storylines ahead enough, and I feel that he was too late in taking the need for a Wellness Policy seriously. His treatment over the years of Jim Ross is also poor. But, no-one is perfect. But if I had a choice between being a multi-millionaire owner of a global wrestling company who is of his field, or being some little jimmy jabroni who simply wishes people failure and runs down people on the internet, I know what I would pick.


Does anyone else feel that VINCE McMahon need's to be taken down a notch from his wrestling reign for one reason or another?

No. I feel that you need to stop being jealous of the successful, just because you are a loser. Also, you need to shut the f... up!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vince isn't a wrestling genius, but he is a genius in bsuiness. I can't think fo anyone who is both a wrestling and business genius.

Paul Heyman was a wrestling genius, no doubt about it. But, from a business standpoint, ECW failed to make money. So, while he knew about wrestling more than most, he wouldn't be getting a loan from a bank anytime soon, unlike Vince.

 

[TM Punk]

I really don't hate WWE or VINCE at all, but let's face it, Vince wants to control everything that has to do with wrestling, and I don't think buying ECW and WCW is the end for him.

how old are you? 12? 13? Idk if you know this or not, but vince already owns any and everything that matters that has anything to do with american professional wrestling. Footage from wwwf, awa, smokey mountain wrestling, jim crokette promotions, wccw, wcw, ecw, and anything in between. And if your insinuating that hehe'soing to buy out tna, roh, pwg, czw or anything like that than you're dead wrong. When vince expanded in the 80's he didn't just go around buying indy promotions. He bought out valuable promotions, with real stars.wrestling back then is nothing like today, so don't worry, roh and tna will still be there.

Now back to all that footage!!! Why would you not want to educate yourself on the good and bad of wrestlings past by watching an unlimited amount of classic footage??? You're right about youtube. You can go on there and watch single matches from years past. But can you watch the entire 1993 survivor series? Ill wait... ... ... did you find it yet? No? Well on WWE Network let that dream become a reality. Hey, how about you go on youtube and watch both the Monday nitro and monay night raw from the 3rd Monday of december in 1996. Then tell me which of these got the better rating. Oh you can't find that anywhere on the world wide web? Well how about you tune into the WWE Network and watch the five hour block entitled Monday Night Wars.

HOW COULD AN ENTIRE NETWORK DEDICATED TO SOMETHING YOU LOVE ENOUGH TO GO ON THE INTERNET AND TALK TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW BE A BAD THING?!?!?!

I'm completly dumbfounded by stupidity.

Vince has done plently of things that have failed. WWF New York, WWECW, Chris Benoit's world title push, most ppvs that aren't called Wrestlemania. But you have this strange fear of Vince owning wrestling...News flash, Vince does own wrestling.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You say Chris Benoit's title push as a failure. It did turn out that way, but I think it was more a risk that didn't pay off.

Besides, if you watched WMXX, people didn't see it as a failure at the time. During that match, people were cheering for Benoit (even though Shawn Michaels was in the match as well), and when Triple H tapped to his crossface, awarding him the title, you should have seen the crowd go up. The only celebration I have seen like this since was when Jeff Hardy won his first World or WWE Title (I can't remember which it was).

Triple H must have also thought it was a good business decision at the time, since he put over Benoit. This was a time where he rarely put over anyone, especially at Wrestlemania. So, Triple H must have had some faith in him. He also held the title for three or four months (in fact, he had a longer title reign then the much-more over Eddie Guerrero). Admittedly, Benoit's lack of stickwork hurt him, limiting his ability to build up matches, but the WWE should have got around this by having the other guy run down Benoit on the mike, and cop a Crossface for his troubles.

If you mean that it is seen as a mistake, given what Benoit ended up doing, then I disagree with that as well. No-one at the time could have ever anticipated such a thing happening. I remember when I read about the murders on the website, it is one of the true WTF moments I have ever experienced in modern-day wrestling. I thought it was a sick storyline, as it seemed so unreal. So, Vince can't be considered to have failed because he couldn't forsee what Chris Benoit would do four years later. That is why WWE trying to erase Benoit from DVD's, because it would be seen to "promote a murderer" is ludicrious, because, as well as the time trying to find every bit of footage of Benoit in a 20-year career spanning Japan, ECW, WCW and WWE (good luck with that), only doucebags would criticise Vince for elevating someone (who had been a loyal and hard-working servant of wrestling for nearly twenty years), who did a horrendous crime four years down the track. Name me one person who saw that coming. So, then, how could Vince?

 

[ocekit]

I'm hoping beyond hope that this is just one huge joke thread. I really am.

If not, then you need to get your head out of your ass. Your brain's clearly not getting enough oxygen.

The money from this hypothetical failed project wouldn't come out of Vince McMahon's pocket directly. It would come out of the WWE's company budget. The people on the bottom of the company totem pole would be the first affected. A lot of people would be out of work or face cuts in salary. You want a lot of sad families because you're afraid of Vince McMahon. Not to mention the hit WWE would take on the stock market, hurting those who have shares in it, most of whom are wrestling fans in some form or another.

Times have changed, and wrestling has changed along with it. WWE has taken the same hits the rest of the industry has. It's had its share of flops, failures, and fuck-ups like any other company, and not even Vince McMahon would deny that. It is no different from any other wrestling or entertainment company out there. It is also inexorably linked to those other wrestling companies. Even WWE's lesser failures have had a profound negative effect on other companies in the industry. You want the wrestling industry to suffer a huge blow that a failure of this magnitude could potentially deliver because you think one man should be dropped down a peg.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. No, you're not a hater.

You don't like the current product, but that doesn't mean that other people don't. I personally think it's improved quite a bit. It's evolving with the times. Sure, some people watch it out of habit, but I think the majority watch it because they like to watch WWE. The fact that they're dedicated enough to watch it week after week means that WWE's doing something right for them.

So yes, I want WWE Network to succeed for numerous reasons: more employment opportunities for people (a lot of people are needed to run a channel); classic FULL-LENGTH, HIGH-QUALITY footage that CAN'T be found on Youtube or torrents; footage from promotions I've never heard of before, much less found on YT; and plenty of potential for original content for starters. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

I'm still hoping this was a joke post.

 

[Scuba 06]

Id like to see the current WWE format/storylines fail, cause they are pretty bad and Vince needs to change course and the direction of the show/company back to where it was about a decade ago. Now its just straight up boring.

In reality though, the only things I would want to see McMahon fail at is either getting his wife elected as a member of congress or any attempts to purchase other wrestling organizations, leaving him in control of any related product, destroying competition.


I have to admit when the XFL failed, I couldn't feel bad for WWE. Honestly sometimes Vince lets his ego get the best of him. Competing with the NFL, are you kidding ? WWE is so far out of the league of actual sports, its sad to hear them try to compare products. Really, any time I hear any WWE announcer say Wrestlemania is bigger than the Superbowl, I cringe in my chair. Its really just embarrassing.

 

[Tripleb2k1]

if WWE had suffered a major financial loss, it would be catastrophic, not just to WWE but the entire industry...a major loss could be the downfall of the entire business. for example, if USA was no longer a megapower, it just proves how shaky EVERY country is, so if WWE is no longer the industry leader, proves how fragile TNA, ROH & every indy league are
