I (somewhat) enjoyed Return Of The Jedi. What ruined Star Wars for me was the fandom. They make those movies seem like this giant epitome of cinema and I'm like...*shrug*. Nothing wrong with that, but... take it down a notch, people! Yeah some fans can be really OTT. These guys get it.

I've never been a big fan of Star Wars in general. Yeah ditto. Sith was the only one I kind of enjoyed. I (somewhat) enjoyed Return Of The Jedi. Yeah ditto. Sith was the only one I kind of enjoyed. I literally only like the first movie. Star Wars. A New Hope. Whatever the f*** you wanna call it. That one. What ruined Star Wars for me was the fandom.

I actually enjoy grumbling. It makes feel great. But, I still stand by what I said; it's hard to be with a different mindset. The Internet is such a hivemind instead of an open forum that you get crapped on for opinions like this. Hell, that happened because I said I prefer the Prequels over the Sequels (notice a trend?). I'm with you there Star Wars movies since the Disney take over have been abysmal I've never been a big fan of Star Wars in general.

The biggest problem is that John Cena looked behind the stage and saw this:

In that same vein, Doug Dillinger.

Not really a gimmick, but the 'clap for every cast member who shows up' gimmick in TV shows (mostly done when a shows about to be cancelled) annoys me.

They had 'go away' heat with me. That group got old fast.

He's certainly the greatest evolving character of all time. He really knows when and how to change it up before he becomes stale and bland. A lot of wrestlers could learn a lot from this. That's because Vince lets him do it. If not, he'd still be screaming about Jerichoholics or whatever. How does he do on the "Did he draw money?" argument? I'm not to sure he ever did.

I 'borrowed' this from another forum:
It's kind of chicken and the egg, though. WWE's ratings on a broadcast station wouldn't be good but would being on a broadcast station in a prime spot get more viewers? It's not really the viewers, but the ad revenue. America's Next Top Model had lower viewership numbers than SmackDown, but had higher ad rates (and more desirable advertisers) than the WWE. Hence, ANTM - Cycle ?? is still on CW and WWE is not. I 'borrowed' this from another forum:
Y'all are looking at this wrong. Fox getting them wouldn't be them making it onto Fox; it's pretty much a given that if they do strike a deal, WWE will be on one of their cable channels like Fox Sports or FX. I think the article mentions a move to the Fox Broadcasting Network. Besides, Disney would own FX and they might cancel it quickly if/when they do.

He probably could be a headliner. If WWE isn't sure he can sell out tickets, they can pair him with someone else like they did Edge. On the same night they announced Edge, they announced the Four Horsemen. Vince McMahon The Undertaker John Cena The Rock Triple H Brock Lesnar Randy Orton Batista Chris Jericho Daniel Bryan CM Punk Rey Mysterio AJ Styles Roman Reigns They have about 14 more years worth of headliners and they can probably make one or two more along the way. Not sure if Kane can headline a class. If Martha Hart changes her mind about Owen being inducted, he can headline a class. Owen ain't headlining.
Paul Heyman and Stephanie/Shane/Linda McMahon probably headline the HOF, too (or whoever they give the WWE title to in the future).

I think this is way overblown. I can't see FOX putting up that kind of dough for a show that's gonna draw a lot less viewers than Gotham. UFC will get more ad revenue than WWE. Gotham does not run all year. And sans a possible 2 MLB post season matches or emergency presidential address which would also prevent Gotham WWE does run all year. I 'borrowed' this from another forum:
It'll never happen.
The ratings Raw pulls in are great ratings for a cable TV network. But for a broadcast network....shows that draw twice what the WWE could pull on its best day are considered automatic candidates for the chopping block and often don't even get to finish off the season before being pulled. WWE tried dipping their toe in the water with a revival of SNME some years back, and it ended up drawing some of the lowest ratings in NBC history. There is simply nowhere near enough demand for WWE product on broadcast TV.
There's also advertising to consider, and professional wrestling is considered way too low-brow for advertisers to take seriously, even on a broadcast network. Fox would find out quickly that advertising revenue for the time WWE product is on would plummet as advertisers pull their ads.
I'd be willing to bet that the "sources" saying that Fox is making a serious bid for WWE are probably the WWE, hoping to artificially put pressure on USA Network during contract negotiations.
Fox isn't going to sign any long-term commitment to the WWE without several out-clauses. They're not that stupid. They're going to want to have an escape plan in case that ratings and revenues tank.
And I doubt the WWE is going to want to enter an agreement where Raw loses an hour, they can be pre-empted for anything, and their programming can be cancelled once Fox realizes what a bad move they made. At least with USA, they have 30 years of experience and know exactly what WWE programming will and won't do for them (and vice versa), and can make their offer accordingly. Any offer from Fox (assuming there is even a serious offer on the table) may have a little more money up front, but I think WWE will want the long term guarantees and stability that re-signing with USA will bring, even if it's for less money.
Of course, I also said that Vince wouldn't be dumb enough to attempt to revive the XFL, so there's that.....
