But people here told me that the WWE is a shipping sink.
Good article, understand well the falencies of the TV shows but at the same time, understand and explain better how a business like the wwe work without all the hate related by some fans

Surreal how much exposure this Rumble fiasco has caused. Places that haven't talked about WWE for ages, or you wouldn't ever see mention it are suddenly lining up to take a shot at the debacle.

The idea that the content is terrible is just wrong. It is very good content.

I like the stat that Miz has wrestled one or both of the Usos 28 times this past month alone, lol.

people fail to realise WWE knew what would happen when they booked that rumble, twitter would meltdown, WWE would trend (actually trend, not just when they check their own personal trends and claim that tyson kidd is the number one trend worldwide during raw) some curious lazyt journalists would see the trend and write an article.
It's worked wonder, each time theres been a controversial PPV ending in the last year they've had mainstream articles (the kind of coverage they only used to get by bringing in The Rock - they combined the power of these two thing at the rumble) and they got alot of hits, hell last years rumble and an article on it was one of the top 10 most read pages on the BBC's website for a day. And the other sites must be getting hits because most the major newspapers in the UK now cover every PPV and major news stories online.
Rolling Stone has a wrestling section on their website, Vince has constant wrestling references and articles and have done some docs, huff post covers it.
hell even Time magazine covered the Rumble.
And they're all talking about Roman Reigns, it creates interest in the product and reigns.
Vince doesn't care if you cheer or boo reigns, fact is if he elicits a huge response either way he will make money and garner attention.
I'm begenning to think Vince saw what happened last year and this year manufactured the situation and we all bought it hook line and sinker.
I mean he's a wrestling promoter, he knows how to work people.

It's hilarious that they were booking Reigns to be the second coming of Rock 1999-2000 but now it's causing so much controversy there's no way that'll happen. Sure, people are talking about the company and sure their money making has increased lately, that still doesn't spell good news for Reigns as a credible main event babyface this route. He's going to turn.
This also is pretty interesting towards the future. How will this impact Roman's career, Bryan's, Ambrose, Rollins, Brock, Cena because all of this will impact the company as a whole.
Although it's " bad" in a way I'm very interesting. I gotta keep tuning in to see how it plays out.

The chosen golden boy who the fans reject then will have to turn heel and during this, will naturally improve and fulfill his potential and likely have a big face turn. WWE just need to see this and do the heel turn instead of forcing Rocky to not die.

As it is, it would just be manufacturing a situation people consider a debacle and... keeping the debacle going.

WWE just need to see this and do the heel turn instead of forcing Rocky to not die. Exactly. They need to turn him heel and in 3-4 years Reigns will be ready. Orton had to fall in order to become the Viper that kicked Vince in the head. Years from now Reigns will be amazing but he's gotta get through it. I'm fine if we have Bryan until then.

No one denies they are a successful company, but like Punk said, they could be even more successful if they wanted to be.

Unless all this mainstream coverage about how Reigns is only used because he is gorgeous gets him gigs outside WWE already and he does one like Brock and Rock did, lol.

I can't even look at the pic with Rock holding Roman's arm up. It's cringy-worthy. It's one of those pics that makes you feel awkward even if you don't know what's going on. God knows how the mainstream feel about watching that scene and seeing that pic.

The idea that the content is terrible is just wrong. It is very good content. The content of the Network is fine, but could and will be improved apon. If you're talking about Raw, then you're flat out wrong. The content has been horrible going on nine months now.

If you're talking about Raw, then you're flat out wrong. The content has been horrible going on nine months now. You do realize he was one of the few guys who legitimately wanted Roman to win for non-ironic reasons. To him, this is the best of times to almost everybody else's worst of times. Though, the Network as a whole is still a good concept. It's the current output that is the issue.
