You say that like it isn’t their business model to make sure nobody who wrestles full time is a draw. The :flabbyvince: smiley exists for a reason. You know this. Sabotage everyone who gets over has been their business model for the last 11-12 years. Go find me one wrestler who was over they actually tried to push and make look good in the last five years.

Bro why you complicating this, do you own stocks? Do you put your money on a stock that had a big return or on one you had a long time but ain't doing shyt for you. Stop worrying about how it should be and worry about how it is

Yeah so? They are the draws... If you own a magazine that features models and model #1 gets your magazine 1 million buys , model #2 gets you only 500K who you picking... It's actually simple.

Holy shyt at this model analogy. :dead:

Even tho @Mantis Toboggan M.D. said this is a shytty comparison, I'll entertain it: You put model 1 on a cover 2-3 times, but you gotta keep model 2 in rotation for the rest of the issues. Let's say the mag is released monthly:

Model 1 at 3 mags = 3 mil
Model 2 at 9 mags - 4.5 mil

This is the best way to zip line it into wrestling terms. Think before you type, sir. :usure:

Goldberg
The Rock
Brock Lesnar
The Undertaker
The Big Show
Billy Kidman
Yokozuna

fukk Hoegan, but he has put over young guys before :manny:

I'll give you Kidman, but the rest :mjlol:

Brock, Goldberg, Show, Taker, and Yoko were all destined for main event spots. Rock was already established. Now if Hogan put over Dean Malenko or Ciclope, that's actually putting over young talent.

Nothing wrong with old guy proven draws..... Brings in the casuals and lapsed fans.

The whole argument against them is dumb and based in jealously. If Rock for example brings in 2 million more fans then he gets a spot on the card. Period.

I understand the point, though Rock and Austin would’ve never got to the level they did if Hogan Savage Bret & Shawn never went away. Two sides to it

The only clean wins of the bunch were Brock & Goldberg. Giant beat Hogan by DQ lol

Nah. Can’t rock with this one.

Chris keeps reinventing and adapting his character instead of “playing the hits” long after they got stale like the dudes in WCW did.

He coulda run with most of his gimmicks longer than he actually did

when is the last time Chris actually won a feud?

He’s one of the few old head wrestlers that uses his old head status properly

This.

You can see that he's lost most of his matches in the past couple of years if you read cagematch for about 30 seconds.



Damn near the only person he's beaten with no get back was EVIL. :mjlol:

He's just so good at gloating on Twitter and in promos that when he does go over, it makes people like OP go full

He's not a draw but he's been invited to back to back Wrestle Kingdoms, just had a match with their champion, has been/is the main event of two AEW PPV's both of which sold out in under an hour and sold out a neckbeard boat cruise with his name in the title? :laff:

Let's revisit this thread when he goes over Adam Page to become the first AEW Champion :banderas:

It's coming.

Money's in the chase :manny:

What hits does Jeriatricho actually have. He tried the y2j thing again and nobody gave a fukk because it was trash :mjlol:
