WNBA draws more than the Big Dog :mjgrin:

UFC fans hate WWE with a passion. Brock Lesnar truly provides nothing for WWE.

Yes but not everyone who will watch a Brock Lesnar return to UFC will be hardcore UFC fans. There will be plenty of casual viewers and it will put a spotlight on WWE. It will be more of a spectacle than anything else. Either way there will be new attention towards WWE

She’s doing big market house shows. She was at an Anaheim one.

Damn then that Anaheim attendance is irreprehensible. Also to your point in the other comment, you're right the international audience has been subsidizing Vince for the loss of American fans for 17 years now.

Brock showing up to the UFC fight carrying the Universal Championship will do alot more for the company than Roman Reigns winning the title at Summerslam ever will

Imagine Brock walks in with the universal title and gets starched? The title is instantly worthless

Oh god

Imagine Brock walks in with the universal title and gets starched? The title is instantly worthless

It's already worthless.

Missed 1000 shows, never drew a dime*

It's already worthless.

for real I know everyone knows wrestling is a show but srsly what casual viewer would take notice of something called the ‘universal championship’... it even SOUNDS like a toy.

in a parallel universe where vince tried and WWE was actually good... the top guy could actually advertise themselves as the ‘world heavyweight champ’. again adults know it’s a work but playing it straight is half the fun.

you can’t make a legit television appearance on another television program and call yourself the universal champion unless you already don’t expect to be taken seriously. Just like that you’re advertising to the world that wrestling is just for 5 year olds.

It's a title that they can pick who wears it, it's always been worthless

And say Brock beats Cormier and is double champ and these casual fans tune into Raw Monday and he’s not there?

 

[Green Ranger]

Ive never seen a buildup for Summerslam be so bad

Isn’t this pretty much the new normal haven’t we been saying the same thing about mania for years but then the shows is actually decent

it’s cliche but this really feels like a new low. they put absolutely no effort into this show whatsoever, even by their own low standards.

there is absolutely nothing differentiating this from any other show throughout the year. a naked look at the card and you wouldn’t guess it was the supposed 2nd biggest show of the year.

Was Anaheim during her “suspension”? It was dumb to suspend her for 5 weeks but appear at the house shows without an announcement on television that she would be.

 

[Breh Obama]

They still tuned in didn't they?

 

[dh86]

They still tuned in didn't they?

They’ll never buy a ticket or a network subscription, so the one week theoretical “bump” is irrelevant

 

[R=G]

Ronda isn't bringing in those casual viewers like WWE thought she would

It's no wonder...they got Bliss and Alicia Fox kicking her ass on ppv and now on TV...last week was crazy. Jobber Fox throwing Stone Cold Ronda around? She didn't even do that when she had the belt and Melina returned on her for SummerSlam years ago.
