According to the Observer, WWE got hit with another COVID outbreak and this week's RAW also got affected with missing talent due to those reasons.
Unlike previous outbreaks, its currently not known how many people tested positive or who were affected because of WWE's stronger efforts against leaks. WWE getting hit with another COVID outbreak right after doing a Mania in front of a live crowd isn't a good sign at all. |

According to Triple H, WWE's war with AEW via their NXT brand was like Chris Jericho's 1st WWF title win.
It was all imaginary and never actually happened. Quote:

I wonder..... you think WWE 10 years from now will still be "wrestling" on Monday and Friday?
I know it has often drawn comparison to "soap operas", but like..... can you see it going MORE that direction and even less and less what happens "between the bells". |
Yeah I could see WWE move into a harder "soap opera" direction since I doubt WWE is going to stop with their focus on hiring soap opera and film writers for Creative unless they were put into another Attitude Era-like situation where a strong rival forces them to drastically change direction.
Seeing as how a lot of matches on WWE's weekly shows barely matter these days, I could see that become even less of a focus in the future in favor of non-ring stuff. Like that episode of South Park that parodied WWE and wrestling on how it could be in the future. |
Apparently the Women's Tag Team Turmoil being a mess at Mania 37 is sort of Natalya's fault.
WWE didn't originally plan for that match to happen at Mania but she pushed for more women to be on the show which resulted in that mess of a match being booked. Quote:

well good for her she got more wrestlers on mania rather then smackdown
|
Honestly, given the people involved, it was going to be shit either way.
So props to her for getting her coworkers a nice payday. |

I had no beef with the tornado match, and even enjoyed the women's tag title match more than a lot of other matches on the card (Owens/Zayn, Rollins/Cesaro)

The mini-matches barely getting any real time to work with hurt whatever chance that match could have had to not be a big dud at Mania. On the bright side, it wasn't the worst match at Mania since Orton vs. Fiend took that prize. |

Watching some of WWE's "Most Wanted Treasures". Light hearted fun, with Foley and Triple H being pretty affable.
With the collectors they have to visit though, it's astonishing when you see people who are fanatic and obsessive enough about wrestling to fill rooms in their house with ring-worn gear, old VHS types, action figures, and every bit of memorabilia imaginable, yet never expanded their boundaries beyond the WWE of the past 30-40 years. It really highlights that there's a large part of the American fanbase to whom the WWE is wrestling and there was never anything else. |
I think its that WWE has been THE only notable, recognizable fed for so long. Practically nothing else exists. This is especially true for anyone who is a fan AFTER WcW was bought out.
|
I was just thinking about that the other day. You’d think newer fans who became a fan post-WCW would be MORE likely to seek out other wrestling because the idea is so foreign to them that there’d be a fascination. Whereas the older fans have seen other wrestling companies become big and the novelty would be gone.

Based on WWE's investor's meeting from yesterday, WWE currently doesn't think NHL will be sticking with NBC once their current tv contract expires but they also think NXT will be staying on Tuesdays on USA Network regardless since they claim NXT's move had nothing to do with the NHL situation.
ESPN signed the first of two deals the NHL is offering but NBC is currently up against FOX for that second deal. |

Odd that Drake is so good at identifying pedophile sex traffickers but hasn't been able to weed out Velveteen Dream yet.

Whoever said that isn't wrong. Nobody would watch am all women's show. Nobody. This isn't Joshi. Totally different animal.
I've used this analogy before. Men's wrestling is Coke. Women's is Diet Coke. Both are sodas. But if I'm gonna have a soda, I'm gonna have a Coke because it's better. Now there are some people who prefer Diet Coke, but they are in the extreme minority. If I'm gonna have or watch something, I want to watch the best. This applies to all Women's sports |
If I remember correctly, a big factor for Evolution being a dud in terms of being a money maker was due to WWE picking a weak venue for it and the piss poor job WWE did hyping up the show until very late.
They legit thought Trish vs. Alexa Bliss as the headliner would be enough alone to sell the PPV and it wasn't until they changed it to Ronda headlining that ticket sales and interest started to really spike. By then it was too late to generate enough momentum to make the show a big money maker. Plus they were still dealing with the backlash from their Saudi deal and women not allowed on those shows so Evolution also felt a bit more like just a PR move than them being actually genuine with an all-women's show. Had they been serious with Evolution's hype and build, it could have potentially acted as the spark for an all-women's brand afterwards like what ECW One Night Stand did for WWE's ECW brand. |
