How sad is it that companies still lean heavily on Stone Cold and The Rock to sell their WWE product

Yeah, shyt’s sad but I don’t blame them


Majority of these new cats are trash & not interesting :manny:

Breh :mjlol:this reminds me of when me and my wife went to the bargain store. My son seen a WWE toy and was interested in buying it. She didn't know who the figure was, so I told her it was Nikki Cross. She straight up went like:

I swear majority of the roster resemble these guys:

Nobody cares about the current crop of guys like that.

They'll never be another star like the rock or Austin because these new dudes are weirdos with none of the appeal of the stars from yesteryear.

Most of the times on these 2k games I'm playing as legends & caw versions of legends that's not in the game.

Yo im the same

I just play with the legends and the downloaded superstars

I would rather play as Val Venis in the game than a current top guy lol

they dont want/allow anybody to become as larger than life as the rock/stone cold was because they want to always have leverage over the performer to where their relevance is attached to being in the company and not vice versa.. they dont want another rock situation where that person finds a new career that pays better than wrestling and puts him on an even bigger platform

cena had to play company man for 15 years before he was finally allowed to come into his own as a star away from the company

you cant really say that because who would have thought the ringmaster and rocky mavia would have become what they did? stone cold and the rock were larger than life characters because wwe let them spread their wings and allowed them to be that whereas if they existed in 2020 vince would be too stubborn to let them ever have evolved into what they became

you got guys like montez ford with supernatural charisma and star potential, guys like angel garza, austin theory etc.. not to mention guys we arent even thinking about and who knows what kinda fire gimmick or persona they have in the tuck that could get them over as stars which will never see the light of day because wwe micromanages everything in vince's image
