Did WCW make more money in 1997 or 1998? And why?
With the ratings being down and the throw the ball in the air game thingy about to start for another season, what are the chances that we see Cena get the title before Survivor Series?
Thank you. Thats was awesome. Damn near everything about that match is why anyone should love wrestling.
I assume Bischoff had full control of the budget, right? Did he have any kind of financial background, or was this just Heyman's ECW financial management on a bigger scale?
I knew the answer to this question years ago but what's the pay-per-view where Austin has the AUSTIN 3:16 glass over the entranceway that shatters just before he walks through it? The one they always use in highlight packages? I know there's a version that doesn't work quite as well at Survivor Series 1997.
Pretty solid, though I'm not as worried about the ratings. That has much more to do with people not watching TV than it does not watching Raw.
I respectfully disagree. If you poll people who watched in the late 90's, early 00's on why they're not watching anymore, chances are it's because WWE isn't as good as it used to be. Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
I'd be curious to see what would happen if those people were around today and had:
Phones
The Network
So much internet access to sites which post detailed recaps seconds after the show is over
DVR
Plus roughly an 100 more channels worth of other programming to choose from.

Still if WWE was good enough, people would watch it.
Not really true, there is so much good TV out there right now that it's hard to follow every show that's good. I didn't jump on the Breaking Bad train till it was in it's 4th season, same with SOA, Justified was in season 3 before I discovered how awesome that show was, GoT was heading into it's 5th season before I started watching that, I'm still catching up in True Detective. Band Of Brothers & Deadwood were both done before I found them, all of these are great shows that I enjoy or enjoyed while they were on, & all were good well before I started watching them. Just because people aren't watching doesn't mean a show isn't good. I didn't watch wrestling at all in '97 I'm just now going back & watching the vast majority of it for the first time now, me not watching back in '97 has nothing to do with me thinking it was bad, more to do with I hadn't gotten hooked yet, & was preoccupied with other things at the time.
Let's say Hogan retains the WWF title at KOTR 1993, and then agrees to put over Bret Hart at Summerslam via submission.
Would Bret Hart be a bigger draw in America, thus lessening the dip in business WWE had during the mid-90's? Or did Bret just not have it in him to be a big draw, regardless of the issues with Hogan?
I see your point, but I disagree. I just think if WWE was as good as they once were, they would get more viewers. It's that simple.
Not really. 1997 and 2000 are probably the highest quality years the company has ever had and the ratings are nowhere near as good as 1998/1999 when the drama was high but the wrestling sucked more often than not.
1998-1999 is better than 1997 and 2000..
Those would both have been great. Benoit too.
