If WWE ended today, what would (s)marks do?

[prophecypro]

They'd go all in on Ring of Honor and New Japan

 

[TheWhackMamba]

World of Warcraft subs would do numbers!!!

Wait? One sec? Is that? It is! It's the new TSC (Theatrical Simulated Combat) Forum here to make an IMPACT on Thearena.com!

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

thatd be that

some people probably stopped when wcw ended.

 

[ManBearPig]

everybody will go to TNA or something and we'll treat that like its the WWE

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

This forum would definitely die because the majority of TSC are WWE hate watchers and not pro wrestling fans.

Depending upon whichever promotion(s) fill the void left by the WWE I could see the focus and hatewatching heading that way.

When WCW died their audience went with them. They were still doing low 3's or high 2's when it ended. They didn't move over to WWE.

Honestly, if WWE just went out of business abruptly, there would be a HUGE power vacuum in the industry with several major stars unemployed and a major demand for a replacement. You would have major players and investors, think Disney-level big, creating competing global organizations to compete for that lost WWE audience. Wrestling itself would not go away. When the dust settled, you would have like two major wrestling companies that rise above the other ones and it would be presented a lot differently then WWE.

It probably would be the single best thing that ever happened to the wrestling industry. Imagine if the NFL just disappeared, you would definitely have a replacement there is no way someone doesn't take the opportunity to cash in on that huge demand that needs to be filled.

[Dreamzeedream]

Move on to the next big wrestling compnqy

 

[Homer Simpson]

Most would stop watching. Watching wwe is their habit. And no other company would be the same. No other company is nearly as accessible either.

And all the WWE watchers would skip over to the Coliseum and shyt on Vince's business decisions there.

I love how the larger question of what would happen to wrestling fans if the biggest company in the world goes away is being answered with only takes on what would happen to this forum and nothing else

 

[Mr. Negative]

It's like easy listening from the 70s and 80s in another language
