Why do you guys like the WWE more than any other promotion...... Your opinions are always in favor of supporting the WWE and their roster...
If what you said were actually true, I could give you an answer. But since it's not, I can't.
I am shocked and a bit offended by Chris Hero's release from WWE. It's not so much that I'm marking out for Hero, but I am sensing mixed signals from WWE. I can agree, Hero doesn't have the greatest physique although he had a Barry Windham kind of look. But the guy had the goods when it came to in-ring performance. He was over with the NXT audience, and could have given WWE a lot on the main roster. What bothers me is that they have this elaborate Performance Center filled with testing left and right for everything including traces of drug use to mental health, yet are pressuring guys like Chris Hero to achieve a certain "look". Isn't this the same kind of pressure that drove guys like Lance McNaught and Andrew Martin to early graves? They have a Wellness Policy instituted but are still condoning a culture of performance enhancement by pressuring guys to look jacked. Your thoughts please?
Until we find out the reason he was released, for sure, I won't comment on what you think it is. But they have brought up guys like Bray Wyatt, who don't have perfect bodies, so I don't think they just want jacked up guys.
I keep reading that Daniel Bryan was taken out of the main event picture because of low PPV buyrates (Summerslam,NOC, etc.) Considering the facts, WWE audiences have been conditioned to know that Cena is going to beat every opponent he faces. Daniel Bryan two title reigns lasted about 22 hours and 7 minutes. He was beaten up on every Raw and Smackdown for 2 months. How could Vince possibly blame Bryan and not creative for bad booking? They never would have booked Cena that way.
I have said the same exact thing on audio. Vince McMahon books Cena to hardly ever lose. Vince McMahon books Bryan as a small, B+ loser who doesn't belong in the Title picture leading up to the PPVs. Uh, why WOULD people buy them? Then to make it worse, he screwed the Bryan fans who did actually buy the SummerSlam and Night of Champions PPVs after the events. That is Bryan's fault how? And look at the WrestleMania buyrate being way down this year. Was Bryan in that main event? No. Was Cena? Yes. Why is it Bryan's fault Vince?
How can WWE justify putting the blame on Daniel Bryan for low PPV buys? Are they delusional? John Cena was also in the main event of SummerSlam. And Randy Orton was also in the main event of the last three PPVs. Bryan is the most over guy in the company since the summer of Punk. So instead we get a main event program Orton vs. Big Show? Really?
Vince McMahon's opinion is all that matters. I totally agree with you, going back to the future with the Series main event doesn't interest me at all either. I am very curious to see what the Series buyrate is and if it is bad too, if Vince McMahon will look in the mirror to find the right person to blame.
“Pacman” Jones is coming back to TNA!?!?!? Who cares? If you want to draw ratings and bring back viewership why not put Jeff Jarrett back TV. Wrestling or not Jarrett can draw. Dixie Carter has been in Dixieland too long to thing Jones is going to bring in viewers.
They didn't bring in Jones to draw ratings. They were in Cincinnati where he plays. That's all. I would like to see Jeff Jarrett back on TV too. I hope we see it in the near future.
