That topic about Shane’s WM opponent has me thinking, wondering if financially, as a pro wrestler, it’s worth it to go to the WWE :jbhmm:
Atleast if you had namevalue beforehand.
The checks gotta be good, but compared to times past they probably pale in comparison. Especially with the Network messing with payoffs which is part of why Punk left, and I’m assuming part of why Neville walked out since he was King of the Cruiserweights Pre-Shows and wasn’t really getting royalties off DVD sales as a result. Factor in the cost of travel, getting a fraction of merch sales compared to selling them independently and getting (I’m assuming) the lion’s share of the profit on something like Pro Wrestling Tees, being kept off shows which is a regular occurrence for SD stars, and being thrown into clusterfukk multiman matches where you get a fraction of the payoff.

It’d be an interesting spin topic to do and try and piece together numbers based off shoots and various interviews :ehh:

Conceivably, I can see let’s say, Sami Zayn, leaving and making maybe more money and having more buzz outside the company right now than inside it, of course just blindly guessing at figures.

Lowkey, if All In is a success I could see it being a turning point. With WWE hoarding talent, WM spots being given to old dudes, McMahons, and celebrities, something’s gotta give. I’m assuming at a certain point, having your “dream job” just won’t cut it anymore :manny:

I feel like TSC is really down on the product right now. Probably cause it's not good but I think part of it is also that our expectations were raised right after the brandsplit when Smackdown was getting good.

I also think NJ not putting the title on Naito killed a lot of enthusiasm people had for this year of wrestling ( I know it did for me). Since late last year I decided to stop watching WWE (was winding down anyway) but I'd keep up with NJ & LU and every now & then peep WWE, but them fukking over Naito :scust: the love for this just ain't in me no more. Everything is formulaic, stale, uninspiring, and worse of all, they (WWE) know it too. I'm done with having my time wasted and intelligence insulted. When WWE wants to respect their fans again, I'll be back.






















but damn absolutely no good wrestling on right now :sadcam: Any steam the industry was picking up in the last 2 years feels like it came to an abrupt end :picard:
