in 2019, What does the WWE do Good or Great?

Even without pyro..
When they want..
Some guys have some awesome entrances still

Aleister..finn..bray..taker

[TL15]

Video packages (been mentioned)

Honestly... when they let the leash off the talent, some of the guys can naturally get over. No one would’ve thought Aiden English would ever get the crowd behind him. They have a lot of great talent and when things are organic (Rusev Day, New Day, Daniel Bryan) they can still get great responses... but that’s few and far between

The NXT guys are great are relaying their program into a match. I watch every takeover and never watch NXT and the video intros and the match are really captivating in conjunction with each other

Otherwise, they’re really good at squeezing blood out of their old ass turnip wrestlers. They drag the same carcasses out a few times a year and they still get pops

Video packages: Look above for explanation

NXT: Look above for explanation

Burying/Not capitalizing on great talent: Look above for explanation

WrestleMania size crowds: I'll give credit to Vince that he's still able to sell out 60,000 - 100,000 person size stadiums every year on special major events like WrestleMania, SaudiMania, etc

WrestleMania: No matter how great or boring the card may be the wrestling world still treat "WrestleMania" as the biggest show of the year for the wrestling community and other companies follow suit by trying and do their own versions... Wrestle Kingdom may be bigger

Supernatural Characters: WWE is the best (before they ruin them) in creating larger than life evil characters with magic based abilities. Other companies rarely try to do them but Prime Undertaker, 97' Kane, Papa Shango, current "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt are stuff of legends that is hard to replicate anywhere else.... Mil Murtes & Catrina and a few others from Lucha Underground is a big exception

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

• Brought back King of the Ring
• Learned to bring the Indie style to mainstream (NXT)
• Video Packages
• Make moves despite wrestling being LMAOable to the mainstream market
• Successfully reinvented history of NWA/WCW (made mainstream fans go "what is a wcw?")

205 Live is good shyt brehs.

 

[RammerJammer]

The WWE 24 they did for the RAW 25th anniversary made it seem like the greatest spectacle ever and not the embarrassing barnfire it was

That's their ace in the hole, big PPV intros, big fight video packages, behind the scenes specials, nobody puts it together or paints it as well as they do.

And man do they know how to push a narrative like no one else, like calling Cena the GOAT or calling Charlotte the best female wrestler of all time.

and NXT

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Video packages. The production team in general does whatever they can to make the product look appealing, and they can sell you on a match or feud in less than five minutes. They were able to make John Cena and Randy Orton look like they had the GOAT rivalry in wrestling history through their video packages.





I didn't care for Triple H and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, but damn, they at least tried to make me care:

 

[Playaz Eyez]

And man do they know how to push a narrative like no one else, like calling Cena the GOAT or calling Charlotte the best female wrestler of all time.

That the Bella’s and Steph were solely responsible for the women’s revolution when other feds were putting energy behind women 7 years before the WWE even thought about it

 

[ALTRUISM]

As said multiple times, the video packages. This Roman/Taker one still has me flabbergasted at how they made an objectively crappy feud seem like the greatest thing ever. :jordanwhew:

 

[BrehWyatt]

The actual level of wrestling/in-ring product. They have a ridiculous level of talent at all levels. They just won't let them off the leash.

Production/Video Packages/Documentaries (those WWE 24s/Chronicles are lights out). It's shocking how they are so good at this but can't put together decent angles from week to week.

I want to say development of the future (i.e. NXT/205), but as of late they kind of undo that work by failing to carry it over on the main show (Asuka, Ali)

Getting the bag, no matter how morally or ethically reprehensible it may be.
