We're all aware of the stories (mostly from Cornette) regarding Kevin Dunn not wanting WWE to be regarded as a wrestling company. If every other company had a guy like him, how would they br described from a Dunn point of view.
For example, Dunkin Donuts has recently stated that they are no longer a company specializing in doughnuts, despite the fact that it's in the name.

We're not a television show, we're a multi-platform media experience. We don't use cameras we use visual optimising viewer portholes and we don't have a timeslot we have an advertised access point for all our stakeholders.
And let's stop calling it a ring, it's a defined space of focus for the entertainers to undertake their social-media followed performances.

We're not an auto racing division. We're merely corporate advertisers who just so happen to put our employees in high risk situations with accolades that are laughable. (Post 2004)

We're not selling you a trailer. We're selling you a manufactured home.
We're not allowing you to rent an apartment. You're renting an apartment home.
We don't have customers. We have guests.
You're not buying a car. You're buying a luxury vehicle.
You're not reading a comic book. You're reading a graphic novel.
You're not paying a voluntary tax. You're playing the lottery.
Our product isn't filled with obscure chemicals, it's filled with all-natural ingredients.
You're not buying a gaming console, you're buying a home entertainment system.
I hate what the WWE does, but they're not unique in wanting to alter vocabulary for their own purposes. It's way too common. It's a ridiculous, but effective marketing strategy. It's done in almost every business and our buzzword obsessed society loves it.

You're not using a cellphone, you're using a handheld communications device.
You're not watching a cartoon show, you're watching an animated serial.
You're not playing a video game, you're immersing yourself in an interactive entertainment simulator.

What's wrong with WWE wanting to be more than just a wrestling company? It's not as if they're about to phase out Raw, Smackdown or any of their PPVs. And this myth that they're trying to drive hardcore fans away is just that, a myth.

And this myth that they're trying to drive hardcore fans away is just that, a myth. Nothing wrong with it, but it's disingenuous. They are a wrestling company, plain and simple. They've tried other things--bodybuilding, football, movies. None of it has worked. They hate the stigma that comes with being a wrestling company--a stigma that they helped create--so they want to say "Hey, we're not wrestling. We're entertainment." In spite of this, no matter how hard they try, they're still a wrestling company that makes all of its money off of wrestling. They call it sports entertainment...but it's the same thing. They're pretending to be something that they're not. It's absurd by its very nature. They're far from the only company that's done this. |

Call Of Duty isn't a game, it's an interactive cinematic experience that elicits homophobic slurs and encourages implied intercourse with each other's mothers from our viewers!

And this myth that they're trying to drive hardcore fans away is just that, a myth. It's because they are a wrestling company. Everything they do derives from wrestling. They will never be regarded as anything else. |
