Its not that deep breh....
If another boom period comes, WWE will not be the ones to spark it.
Do you see a wrestling boom ever coming again?
- Thread starter Apex
- Start date
indy scene is booming right now (especially UK), but the consumers of those products are within the wrestling community. they're not attracting casuals.
A good character/angle can carry the industry
hardy boys and he unbroken angle was a flame but tna was too small and wwe can't push it and it's pretty much done now

They had a chance with Daniel and Punk
But they fukked it up
They even brought ME back with the pipebomb
As soon as Kevin Nash texted himself. I knew it was never gonna happen and haven't watched since

Definitely Daniel. His "yes" chant was crossing over like the DX crouch chop.I know that no one here likes Zack Ryder but you dont speak for all the crowds chanting 'we want ryder' and buying his merch and watching his vids
CM Punk and DBry were mad over man, its not really a debate
Who you gonna pick over them?

The Indy's nowadays are too incompetent for it to pop off & the wwe doesn't have that guy on it's roster that can do it.

I got into it after the UK tournament. They really teach them cats good shyt over there. It's literally like NXT as a full blown traveling brand. They got coaches for inside and outside the ring and everything

Imagine if Wale was a manager for New Day if they ever decided to turn them heel?
I think we missed a possible boom because the Attitude stars didn't really hang around. I think you needed old stars (and not Big Show, Kane, kinda triple H) mixing it up with new stars until the new stars became the headliners. So right now (or at least the early 2010s) Rock, Austin, Hall/Nash, HBK, Goldberg, DDP, Sting, Angle, Dudleys, Booker T, hell fukking Double J, should be mixing it up with the new guys. But instead you get one or two of those guys dropping in every once in a while.
Image how much bigger Cena would be if right after the Rock program, Austin comes out and stuns them both. Forcing Rock and Cena to team up against Austin and eventually Rock turning on Cena or hell Cena turning on Rock. Its stuff like that that takes a star to a superstar.
Hall and Nash made NWO cool. The Hogan rub put it in the stratosphere.
The Horseman put Benoit on and then his association with made Eddie hot.
Even Austin was put on by an old star...Vince.

Which is terrible for the industry as a whole. If wrestling was hot right now, other wrestlers could eat and be national stars in other companies too.

It already has it just wont be the same as before. With the advent of the WWE Network, FloSlam and NJPW World among others, wrestling of all types are way more accessible than ever before. But in terms of pop culture, no it wont because Dana White is better at long term promotion for his company than Vince McMahon has ever been.
