You won't have the faintest clue unless cokeboy passes away and Triple H is running all the booking... then a superstar can actually rise to the top on their own merits.

Right now if anyone gets hot, vince will bury them with his senile horseshyt booking... so even if you were normally right, the person with the potential to be that draw isn't going to make it.

triple k? :laff:

So your main gripe is that you think the wrestlers cant be legends is because they're short? Ok boomer.
Roids definitely make people taller, zoomer.

The fact is that being appealing across multiple segments is what it takes for the kind of mainstream success on the level of Hogan, Austin, and Rock. A bunch of skinny dorks will never look impressive to the average Joe and aren't bringing in new people. Never have, never will. They're necessary to have a great, full card but they'll never move the needle beyond the people who watch the show every week no matter how shytty it is. As a matter of fact, I'd argue having an amazing look and great stories are even more important in a post UFC world that it was before.

Yes, real fighters are seen as badasses by virtue of being able to really fight. Whereas WWE guys play fight. But whatever, maybe someone will come along and defy all the conventions of the business and be a Hogan/Austin/Rock level star while looking like a dork.

NXT has been dope and let their stars shine... including black and asian wrestlers. We know Triple H is a piece of shyt a$$hole, but I'm just talking about his resume as head of NXT.

Meanwhile RAW and SD! booking have been 90% trash burying their own talent for 12+ years, and putting Charlotte and Alexa over all the other women:mjpls:

The boxing comparison isn't fair them heavyweights in the mid 2000s and now are mostly flabby and sick guys that don't have anything polarizing about them which opened the door to Mayweather and stipulations alvaroid, though we are getting some type of resurgence as of now in HW who knows within the 5 years if HW's become the highest grossing boxers again.


Pick any fighter from any era Floyd is a bigger draw than them :manny:
