KB I believe the word life symbol, stopped being used by Cena by thee d of 06 early 07, I take notice of it. Just the subtle changes including the sneaker pump up stomped start of 06.
 
My friend comes from a family of wrestling fans and usually talks sense when it comes to the business, but he thinks that a match should be made between the storyline writers vs the actual wrestlers.

I told him it makes no sense at all but he is adamant it's a great idea as people would pay to see it? Will you please tell him it's an absolutely stupid idea? Thank you

Writers don't go on TV. If they did, they would be called wrestlers.

I can only think of successful Rock lines, what are some examples of ones that never caught on?

How are your lips? Because they're about to be slapped off your face.

Why don't you go have a tall glass of shut up juice?

Who are the top indy draws?

Steen, Cole, Richards. Mainly the top ROH guys.

Any heel or face turn at survivor series?
Are we getting a shield vs Wyatts feud?

Maybe Reigns but I'd be surprised.

Not for a few more months.
 
Do you reckon that Mysterio would have gotten over as he has if Eddie was still alive or had just retired?

He would have definitely gotten over and probably won a world title, but not as soon as he did.

From the Territory and NWA eras?

They're really hard to compare because of how limited access was. There were a bunch of draws, but you can't put them on that level due to their limited area.
 
Had Triple H not torn his quad back in 01, do you think he would have eventually turned face and beat Austin cleanly for the WWE Title?

If so when do you think that match would have taken place?
 
So, Raw Country.

Why why why why why?!?

Any chance of a Mickie James appearance tonight btw? She sings country and has been working with NXT wrestlers recently.

Also, do you buy into the theory that WWE will have to 'sacrifice' a Mania to build new top level guys? Say Mania 31 they have a mega heel hold the belt for 6 months and then Big E or someone wins it from them and becomes a permanent main eventer. They could still have Cena vs Taker or chuck a ton of money at Austin to show up if they're worried about the buy rate but I definitely think this needs to happen in the near future because using the part time stars every year isn't sustainable.

Yes. that was the plan for Summerslam.

Assuming her no compete clause is over, it's possible.

Nah they'll be fine without it. Building top level guys isn't nearly as complicated as people make it out to be.
 
Wrestlemania is constantly breaking records and garnering over a million buys. The wrestling portion of the WWE is making money hand over fist. Their live event numbers are very solid and their PPV numbers are good. Professional wrestling is constantly referenced in mainstream media and sports media. Pro wrestlers are constantly showing up all over various television shows.

...As said by Sly. While this is true, I don't understand why ratings are in the decline. In 2011, they were about 3.8. They are now around 2.8. If they are breaking records and gaining large attendances; why are ratings getting lower and lower?
 
More options for TV, Hulu Plus, DVR, the way ratings are calculated being changed a few months ago.

The other thing to remember is sponsorship money. WWE is making I believe four times what they were making five years ago from sponsors. Yeah TV ratings are down but everything else is booming.
 
Yes. that was the plan for Summerslam.

Since that was the case, why didn't they just do it at WrestleMania X8? Seems like it would have been a much better use of Austin rather than having him fight Hall. Seems It also would have benefited Triple H more than beating Jericho too.
