I know time goes on and the old wrestlers retire and new blood has to come in, but they've done nothing to make these guys seems like larger-than-life superstars of professional wrestling. I know there were some fans in the audience way back in the day who yelled to Bruno Sammartino "Lou Thesz would have kicked your ass!" but this is different. These guys are all Twitter bytches. None of them look or seem tough, even then ones with shoot experience. It doesn't matter that kayfabe is dead, the company should adapt. Like I've said before, Big E understands how to be an internet era guy. He's strong as fukk, he wrestles pretty good, put the belt on him.

But Vince is making more money than ever before because the whole universe swerved toward total bullshyt in 2016, so... :manny:

The Women are even booked tougher than the men..

The difference is that WCW didn't have two billion dollar contracts already signed. I fully expect them to go full throttle next year because of pressure from the networks.

I feel like modern day wrestling is almost a reflection of society as a whole. Neutered, sterile, and lacking any kind of edge.

And edge doesn't have to mean blatant violence or sexual content either.
Connecting everyone with the internet killed individual flavor.

These mofos blew billions of dollars worth of hot angles this year alone... We could have had a build up for
Lashley vs Lesnar
The Broken Hardyz
AJ having fire matches with Samoa Joe and Nakamura with them killing it
Strowman running muthafukkas over like Mark Henry did with the Hall of Pain
Rollins and Ambrose having the blood feud of 2018 similar to Savage/DDP or Austin/Bret
Daniel Bryan embracing his inner heel and being on some Danielson shyt
Becky Lynch vs Rousey
Sasha and Bayley eventually clashing
The rise of Askua on Smackdown.

Why do they keep on building these people up on NXT and signing them for millions only for them to not mount to shyt?

They only want them to bring Rousey to SD and focus more on wrestling, Vince would have to go out of his way to make this not work.

Fox is ruthless man

Vince has never dealt with a network that just straight up didn’t need him and could afford to piss away the money owed to him

SD will mess around and end up running at 5:30 Saturday afternoons
