I know that they're a private company, but let's say for this thread's sake, you're a stockholder at one of the quarter annual meetings. Dixie is standing at the front of the room ready to answer questions, what do you ask?

Why haven't the TV ratings and buyrates grown significantly during the past six years in spite of going live for a brief time and bringing in a plethora of industry stars such as Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle & Jeff Hardy?

Why are they spending gobs of money on expensive talent like Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam, Hulk Hogan, and Eric Bischoff when using less expensive former WWE talent and home grown stars brought in the same ratings and better PPV buyrates (though the declining buyrates are more creatives fault than the wrestlers). Without the expensive names the company was at one point actually turning a profit as opposed to losing money like they have since Hogan and company joined.

Why can WWE, and even to a lesser degree ROH, seem to make new stars who connect with masses yet our company can't?

Why can WWE, and even to a lesser degree ROH, seem to make new stars who connect with masses yet our company can't? Honestly, that's highly subjective. And it really depends on what one's definition for a "new star who connects with the masses" is. And who "the masses" are. If I am "the masses" then I can count on one hand the number of WWE wrestlers that "connect" with me. And half of them I initially liked in the indies, while the rest aren't pushed or really used by the company. If "the masses" are "the WWE Universe", then almost anybody the WWE war machine chooses to push to the moon is gonna get over at one point or the other. If "the masses" = the IWC, then... all hell breaks lose, nobody TNA pushes will ever "connect", whereas pandering to the IWC is always appreciated.

Saying whoever WWE pushes is going to get over is simply not true. The point Amityville is making, and quite accurately, is that WWE has and makes stars in the eyes of their fans. Triple H, Undertaker, John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, The Miz, etc, were all MADE in WWE. In ROH, they MADE Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries, CM Punk, Tyler Black, Nigel McGuinness, etc. These guys reached their peak and were pushed in their company as top stars. In TNA, the majority of their top talent were MADE in another company years ago. Hardy, Angle, Sting, RVD, etc. Anytime they come close to making a top talent out of a guy who hasn't already been MADE like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, The Pope, Matt Morgan, etc, they pull the rug out from under them.
