The owner is a white 70 year old and all the other higher ups are like 45 plus. They have no Idea what’s cool and they’re stuck in their old ways.

Look at other promotions that are going with the new trends and they ain't making money either. People jut don't watch wrestling anymore because everything has been exposed and overdone. Too many TV shows, too many PPVs and the same wrestlers. fighting each other over and over again. Peoples imagination is no longer there to enjoy it and social media exposes it's secrets. This has nothing to do with the age of the owner or his cronies being out of touch.

Yeah people need to except all good things dont last forever

Even the circus shut down recently cause no one cares anymore.

WWE is ok with the numbers they have now.

My only problem is oversaturation

The 3 brands shyt is too much.

Making Rey a top babyface and trying to force Ricochet & Humberillo as top talent to carry a brand is stupid

nothing wrong with Rey being a top guy he’s a legend and should be treated as such.

it goes back to what I said tho... baby faces are uncool af. It speaks volumes to how wwe views a good guy considering most baby faces in wwe now are losers.

Crazy how the excuse is that wrestling itself is dying out when if anything, its slowly beginning to surge back. People think WWE doing bad must mean the whole business is going to shyt. :camby:

A brand new wrestling company came to fruition this year and has a deal on TNT. If they go the way that I think they're going (eventual NJPW partnership), their staying power in the US will only continue to grow.

NJPW has been killing the game for the past 2-3 years and now they're seriously taking a jab at US expansion. Their commentary teams are top notch, and the product is absolute quality. The booking can be here and there, but you are guaranteed good to excellent matches at the minimum at most events.

IMPACT has its own niche audience that is seeing growth along with their new TV deal recently. STARDOM is getting more shine, women's wrestling is the best it's ever been. A lot of companies are doing their own thing and growing. Outside of ROH taking a steaming shyt on things, I can't really name a company in trouble. Lucha libre is always going to eat :manny:


I'd say wrestling is in a much better spot than it was a couple of years ago. Hopefully WWE loses a lot of their talent and we see these guys start to go to other companies and really shine. You can't say wrestling is dying when there are TV deals left and right.

Exactly?^^

How is wrestling dying when so many companies are rising up or doing better business getting more exposure and all the talent has so many options of companies to work with?

For a minute there was an era when when people stopped wearing wrestling stuff to now tshirts and gear are back in style

They should cancel Smackdown and NXT and make RAW only a 1 hour show in smaller venues. Save the big arenas and stadiums for PPV and limit those to 1 every 2 months. Also less talent on the roster too.

How is Rey a top guy. he looks like a little boy on Halloween doing gymnastics. Dude is only popular with the Lucha fans and that's it.
