WWE already planning for WM34 in 2018 :mjgrin:

[JerseyBoy23]

Dave talked about this on Observer radio today.

Basically the only way this will change is if another babyface emerges who Vince likes more than Reigns, but that prob won't happen because they won't elevate anyone to that spot as long as Reigns is a face. He said they might have been planning to to turn him heel when Balor debuted and won the title, but then he got hurt so they had to scrap it.

He said WWE has built a business model where it basically doesn't matter who's on top at the moment as long as attendance and stuff is doing OK. Said Reigns isn't a huge draw, but he sells a lot of merch, and the house shows he headlines usually do OK, and Vince has convinced himself that ratings don't matter anymore, so Vince doesn't feel a need to move away from him

Vince can tell himself that ratings don't matter until NBC Universal lowballs again during the next negotiations and the stockholders get pissed off.

Vince can tell himself that ratings don't matter until NBC Universal lowballs again during the next negotiations and the stockholders get pissed off.

Prob is nothing gets ratings as big as it used to anymore except the NFL, and some random NBA games and stuff. Everything else is down, so WWE has more leverage with that, but yeah if the next TV rights deal is low then they are fukked

Who the fukk other than @September is buying Roman merch

Kids, @September and soccer moms. I saw a lot of his shirts at the last raw here.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Sounds smart.

Lesnar is gonna be stronger thab ever once he gets finished with his beef with Goldberg.

Reigns is gonna beat the hell out of undertaker giving him a certain edge to rep.

This gonna be the equivalent of major summer blockbuster film.
Action packed slobberknocker.

Wwe with the blueprint

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

These fukks really going to put Nakamura on Raw while monster pushing Roman, having Rollins there already, & about to get Finn back

Knowing Cena is about to take a break & they need faces on SmackDown

Fukk smackdown. shyt ain't nothing, but a spin off.

We talking about Monday Night Raw. The holy grail of this wwe sh!t.

It's not just shirts tho, can't you imagine a bunch of dumbass kids walking around their house in a vest and black gloves during his "fist pump" thing he does before the Superman punch

Dave said its not clear yet if Nakamura is going on RAW or Smackdown

 

[8WON6]

The only real problem I have with Roman is him using a punch and spear as finishers. shyt is so generic.

 

[jackswstd]

A lot can happen from now until then. I'm almost certain this got out so the beards could read it, and have a meltdown.

 

[True Blue Moon]

I wish they'd focus on telling a story instead of forcing it

Problem is WWE unlike the sports leagues is a not a money making or valuable TV product in terms of big time ads and sponsors, which is the #1 reason shows are profitable for networks. WWE is definitely gonna get low balled for that reason alone.

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Friend: WrestleMania coming back to New Orleans next year. I'm thinking about getting back into watching wrestling. How is it? IIs it any good?
Me:

maybe you should watch more than 1 program

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Lesnar/Reigns at WM31 was near classic, got no problem with this, especially with how over Reigns is now

:styles: sells nearly as much merch as Roman with half the push and SDL's attendance is better than RAWs

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

A lot can happen from now until then.

terrible promos

catchphrases that don't get over

mediocre matches with predictable finishes
