Think I read somewhere that it’s Drake Maverick who is coming up with most of the ideas.

If it gets popular enough Stephanie will take credit

I remember Steph's best cleavage outfits more than any wrestling angle or match.
Ludicrous tits.

Lol, Prichard is an idiot and it's not really out of the box. It's borrowed directly from 2000 WWF only no one gives a shit.

It's driving massive hits to their YouTube account. So, no one gives a shit isn't accurate.

It is something different from the modern status quo and is getting attention, but it shouldn’t be the best thing on the show.

The Revival is the best thing on the show, jack. This is funny stuff for youtube hits.

Revival are vanilla midgets

Lol, watching something on YouTube isn't giving a shit. Have you been to their front page?

I love The Revival, but I do wish they were bigger. Just for their sake. And just a little. They're probably the right size for a good rivalry with The Bucks. But they work a heavier style that's kind of odd to see against bigger guys.

YouTube hits=google money.

:lol:

At best, WWE's annual Youtube revenue is likely less than 3% of WWE's annual gross revenues, and will only decrease as a % overall with the new upcoming TV deals.

You could obviously emphasize that in any given year without Youtube revenues, in that same year and/or some future year(s), WWE would potentially have less annual profit or perhaps even a net annual loss. You could even focus on the fact that it's growing annually at a relatively higher rate than other revenue streams, increasing at an annual rate of at best 1% but likely less than 1% of WWE's total annual revenue going forward.

However, any company that is building its core product(s) around or relying on a revenue stream that is that small of a portion (3% or less) of its overall revenue, even if it's growing year over year (at best) at 1% of total revenues, especially at the potential expense or downfall of other larger proportional annual revenue streams, isn't necessarily looking at the big picture and is probably being incredibly mismanaged overall or in many other key areas.

Not much, and that still doesn't equate to people giving a shit. That might be something WWE gives a shit about.

I'd be curious to find out how many people who watch the YouTube clips actually watch weekly tv.

Just finished all my 1985 Prime Time Wrestling Episodes in my collection. Not on the Network. If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you some google drive links

They are so damn boring. They should be renamed The World's Most Boring Tag Team. Cant imagine anyone with more than a functioning brain stem liking them at all. Atrocious team.

Are they? I'm being serious, they don't seem that small. Maybe for New York guys but they remind me of Arn and Tully.

I watched a documentary made by and about Sick Nick Mondo last night.
It made me mad that I watched it. I hope they all get hepatitis.

I also watched the IWA stuff with Foley/Funk on Prime. Just really bad wrestling done at a snails pace.

Not worth the bandwidth.

Really? I've always thought they were rather small. It wasn't as noticeable when they were in NXT because there weren't as many huge guys there to compare them to but once they debuted on the main roster it became glaring. They are way more often than not the smallest guys in the ring when they are in it.

Man....that shot Dana Brooke took. Can't get that sound out of my head. I really hope she's ok.

Oops, forgot to upload a few. Almost my complete collection

They are both only 5"10

Big Dave cares

Lol some wrestling fans are worse than girls on Tinder in terms of bitching about a guy’s height

Little Vito

I hear they don't shower or deodorize when they go to independent shows to get a more authentic experience.

In the mood to watch Gargano and that Bald Fuck beat each other half to death.

Carmella's dad was enhancement talent. Here he is getting destroyed by Big Boss Man

This would get you fired from WWE. Ask Ultimo Dragon.

Perpetuating bullshit like this is why we have Baron Corbin in constant main events.

They've had really small eventers though. Some of them great wrestlers. But I always run into the problem of not being able to find their work believable when they go against the bigs. Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar for example. Rey Mysterio vs Big Show back in the day. It doesn't work for me because I know the reality is is that one clean shot from the big man in those matches completely mauls the little guy yet here this little guy is constantly kicking out of shit that should kill him.

It's hard. There has to be some level of realism now that we're past the whole suspension of disbelief phase.

This is a weird thing to try and articulate while simultaneously saying that I love a lot of the smaller guys and their work. Because I find them to be better than the vast majority of the bigs. But I'd pick the bigs almost every time in an actual fight and that realism factor has to play some role.

Also The Revival have a bigger issue than just being small...they are small and work a more "power" style that you usually only see bigs working. That comes off fine when they are working with people who are similar size to them....but you put them in the ring with some hosses and that style just does not translate from them.

If I cared about “believability” of small guys fighting big guys, I wouldn’t watch wrestling. I’d watch MMA where everybody is strictly segmented by weight class.

Also for what it’s worth, in no way does the bigger guy always win in a real fight. Some dudes have a size advantage but no clue what to do with it.

Yeah but we aren't talking about guys who don't know what to do with their size are we? You may not like them as performers, but they are all well trained at this point and not some huge behemoth on the street that's never done anything physical. You really telling me you'd buy Dash against Braun for example?

Sounds like you may not care about believability because you still manage some amount of suspension of disbelief over it somehow.

Also on a side note I feel like the reason Corbin is now in the ME isn't because of his size but because of how much they have been able to make everyone hate him. Like it or not he has heat not seen in YEARS. It doesn't matter if it's legit heat, X-Pac heat, or FU heat, it's a lot of heat. They can use the fuck out of him right now. Corbin will go away when people stop reacting to him.

Also he's not nearly as bad as a lot of people here want to make him seem. He's not great or anything, be he's serviceable and can put on a good match sometimes.

Also I'm not suggesting strict weight classes. There is just a limit to size differential to me, and when you pass that limit it doesn't come off as "legit". I've no problem with someone 5'10" working someone say John Cena's size (6'4" or 6'5" I think and like 235-240lbs?) and putting up a good fight and winning. I'm not buying that same guy against a 6'8" super heavy, like Brock, Lashley, Braun, Drew or Roman.
