Possibly, probably not as a champion though.

What would you have him do?

 

[The Bearded One]

Wouldn't shares be a better gauge of success than ratings? That's if one considers the amount of viewers a show has to be whether or not a show is successful rather than the on-screen product itself. It just seems to me that looking at shares would make more sense.

Not realy sure. As Jay Lethal he's kind of boring.

Probably so but ratings/shares are only good for so much anyway. There are a ton of other ways to look at things to tell how a company is doing.

I know there are other ways, but I was more interested in television as a whole other than just wrestling. It just seems like having a higher share would be a lot better than having a higher rating.

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh probably but I go back and forth on what defines success.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Where do you see the wwe in 20 yrs from now and would they be more/less successful.

 

[klunderbunker]

That's a hard one. There's a possibility it won't exist but I can't imagine it getting bigger than it's been before. Stranger things have happened though.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Yeah you are right KB but I do wonder who will be the top face by then. Also what do you think TNA will be in 20 yrs from now and would they be more/less successful.

 

[The Bearded One]

Does the new ROH show come on in your area? If so, did you catch it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Dude 20 years from now I'd be stunned if anyone on the roster will still be around.

I did catch ROH and I wasn't impressed. I have a review of it up.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

I think TNA will be in the toilet by then.

 

[klunderbunker]

I think so too. Then again I've been saying that for years.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Well we all can dream for that day to come but we'll have to see about that also I would jump off a bridge if TNA surpassed WWE.

Why do you think it took so long for Randy Orton to get as over as he is now?

And do you think the next feel good moment could be Daniel Bryan winning the title at Mania? Granted he still cashes in at that time

 

[klunderbunker]

Because sometimes you just have to find the right character. orton as a heel didn't work because the whole hold in your anger until it snaps thing isn't going to last as a heel. Also the RKO is one of those moves like the DDT or Sweet Chin Music. It makes you jump out of your chair and you can't be a heel for very long with a move like that.

Why would that be a feel good moment?

 

[Awesome_Miz]

What do you think was the downfall of the Hardys besides drugs.

 

[The Bearded One]

They've gone and pissed me off now. The entire time I was understanding that the show would be on their website for free. But now it's telling me I have to pay $7.99 a month to become a "Ringside Member" to watch the show. That's not the least bit fair. Why should I have to pay for it just because I don't have a Sinclair station in my area? That's bullshit and ROH has really screwed the pooch with this one I think.

EDIT: I just read that it will be Thursday when they post the show for free on their website. That's so freaking stupid.

How many times can you see Jeff dive off a ladder and be amazed by it?

Hmm.....I believe Sly and I said this wouldn't go well because it wasn't national anymore and were told that we were just being pessimistic and ridiculous. What a shock: there are problems and some of their fans aren't happy just like we said would happen. Gee you would think that by using logic and reason we arrived at the correct answer.

The only problem is that they are making people pay to see the show earlier. If they didn't do that then everything would be fine. I just don't understand that. I guess I won't get to see the show until Thursday.

 

[klunderbunker]

Still a problem, especially since yesterday their site was down.

It was down because they were updating it. But I agree it wasn't the best time to be down.

Also, the show should be on the website no later than Sunday night for free. It's ridiculous that even if you pay for it you won't get to see it until Monday. It's like they're punishing fans because they don't live in the right area. I usually defend things ROH does, but this is downright horrible.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep, which is one of the fall backs of it being both no longer national and on at all sorts of random times. It was on at 2pm here and Sly saw it before I did.

I mean, it had the potential to be a good thing, which is all I ever argued. I never said it would be good, just that it could potentially be good. So far I've heard mixed reviews from pretty good to very bad, but the uploading on the website is leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.

 

[klunderbunker]

The show was quite bad. It's a 60 minute show and there's a 27 minute break between the end of one match and the start of another. I don't see any possible excuse for that.
